We find, however, that awarding double damages for rent accrued while the tenant lawfully possessed the property is unjust and also in conflict with the purpose of our unlawful detainer statute. Consequently, we restrict the double damages penalty for its intended purpose — to penalize the tenant for refusing to surrender the property when the tenancy terminates. We remand to the trial court to recompute the judgment amount. FACTS
