Reprisal
Plaintiffs first argue that the conduct of the defendant in changing the terms of the contract, constitutes reprisal pursuant to G.L. § 31-44-5. Specifically, the plaintiffs maintain that the lease agreement, and the terms therein, renew automatically, unless certain events occur, namely, breach. There being no breach on behalf of the plaintiffs, the plaintiffs argue that the defendant must therefore renew the lease agreement inclusive of the present terms.3 The failure to do so, by implementing new leases that increased the rent, constitutes reprisal.
