She testified that, in her opinion and based upon her knowledge and experience, Mr. Dwight had selected a “compatible” type of replacement wallpaper and that a reasonable cost would be between $50 and $200 per roll. However, after reviewing the testimony, the trial justice found that the evidence did not permit her to conclude “that the damage to the smaller area has such a material impact on the overall presentation or aesthetics of the interior of the building that it has diminished the value of the property by any particular amount.” She stated further that she “would have liked to have been able to award a different amount, perhaps a lesser amount, but the evidence is such that I would only be speculating if I were to arbitrarily pick a different dollar amount of compensation.” Nonetheless, the trial justice accepted that defendant had failed to pay his last month’s rent, and accordingly awarded plaintiff $1,600, plus interest.
