On July 9, 1975, the landlord instituted a second District Court suit, in which it alleged that the tenants had breached the lease and thereby became liable for an attorney’s fee of $840. The tenants denied these allegations and counterclaimed for the balance of $2,000 in deposits paid to the landlord, giving it credit for the $550 judgment entered in the trespass and ejectment action. Later, in November, the landlord was permitted to amend its complaint so that it could seek not only the fee but also damages because of its alleged inability either to lease or to sell the property.
