On August 25, 1995, the plaintiffs and the defendants entered into a lease agreement whereby the defendants agreed to lease a house from the plaintiffs for a term of one year beginning September 1, 1995. On September 26,1996, the plaintiffs filed a trespass and ejectment action against the defendants in the District Court pursuant to G.L.1956 § 34-18-38, claiming that the defendants were unlawfully holding over after the expiration of the lease. The defendants filed an answer and a counterclaim, maintaining that the eviction was retaliatory.
