It is no surprise that the material facts, as testified to by the parties, were in dispute. In addition to the unpaid rent for April 2014, plaintiff testified that defendant owed him $700 per month in unpaid rent for the months of June, July, and August 2013, as well as $300 for December 2013, and court costs of $150, for a total amount of $3,250. When asked by the trial justice for a ledger that might evidence defendant’s record of payments and nonpayments, plaintiff produced a piece of paper that he contended demonstrated that rent was unpaid. However, plaintiff was unable to provide a record of payments that had been made by defendant, or receipts that had been furnished to defendant after payment was tendered. Additionally, plaintiff was unable to produce a deed, or any other instrument, evidencing his ownership of the property. The plaintiff also testified that, despite numerous attempts, defendant refused to let him enter the premises so that he could apply extermination chemicals to combat the pest infestation about which defendant had complained.
