The rented property at issue in this case is an apartment in Brandon located downstairs
from a business operated by Plaintiffs. The apartment was originally rented by a different tenant,
and Daniel Sheldrick moved in with her. At some point she left, and Daniel remained as the
tenant under an oral lease. He has been renting the apartment for approximately seven years. In
2009, Jessica Sheldrick moved in, and has been cotenant since. Plaintiffs and Daniel had a rather
casual, flexible landlord-tenant relationship. Daniel occasionally made minor repairs and
deducted the cost for the rent. Plaintiffs were obliged to do an annual inspection by Brandon, but
Kathy Mackey usually just brought the form to the door and Daniel signed it. Plaintiffs only
occasionally had the fire extinguisher retagged, although there was a requirement to do so
annually. At some point, Daniel got behind in rent, and Kathy told him to catch up as he could,
which he did.
