In May of 2011, Wayne Goodwin filed this suit based on the water outages. On
May 24, 2011, the parties settled the case with a stipulation that became an Order. It
provided that Landlord agreed to supply, “without interruption, water sufficient in
quantity and pressure to meet the ordinary needs of the occupants.” May 24 Order, ¶ 1.
Tenants waived claims with respect to past water shut-offs, and Landlord waived past
unpaid rent. They agreed on a rental amount going forward, and Mr. Goodwin agreed to
perform some repairs. They further agreed that if Landlord violated ¶ 1 or otherwise
violated the Warranty of Habitability, Tenants’ waiver of past claims was cancelled.
Thereafter, Mr. Goodwin did the work agreed upon.
