ALEXANDER, J.
[¶ 1] Leo and Germaine Belanger appeal from a judgment of the Superior Court (Kennebec County, Murphy, J.) after a bench trial awarding them $2500 in damages for five months for breach of the implied warranty of habitability by their landlord, John Mulholland. The Belangers contend that they are entitled to damages for an additional four-month period because the court erred as a matter of law in its conclusion that lack of running water did not render the Belangers’ dwelling unit unfit for human habitation, pursuant to 14 M.R.S. § 6021 (2010). We modify the damages award and, as modified, affirm the judgment. I. CASE HISTORY
