Ms. Alden argues that she should not be responsible for legal fees incurred before she
even vacated the property and that the total amount of fees is unreasonable. However, an
itemized statement of the fees is in the record and was supported by an affidavit from Mr.
Richardson’s attorney. The statement shows that Mr. Richardson first consulted his attorney
after Ms. Alden vacated the property and that the fees clearly were incurred in relation to
collection of a debt related to the lease and were authorized by the terms of the lease. Neither the
hourly rate nor the total hours billed is unreasonable, and Ms. Alden did not raise this matter at
the hearing. 4.      Light cover
