In response to the outcome in Baker, the defendant notified plaintiffs of a new modified lease resulting in an increase in rent, approximately $40.00 per month, per unit. See, Letter of October 31, 1994. On January 6, 1995, the plaintiffs filed the present suit challenging these rental increases. The dispute was ordered to arbitration by Justice Famigletti, and the defendant was temporarily enjoined from raising the rents.1 See Order of J. Famigletti, July 25, 1995. However, the plaintiffs, in their motion for reconsideration, asserted that arbitration was not in order because they made no claim of excessive rent pursuant to G.L. 31-44.1-2, only reprisal. See, American Arbitration Association, Position Statement of Ruth LeBlanc, et al., Plaintiff's Motion for Reconsideration, December 14, 1995.
