The case went to trial in 2011. At trial, Mr. Clark contended the following. Ms. Bridges was consistently late in paying her portion of the rent and was responsible for damage to the house. In' addition, Ms. Bridges called housing inspectors about problems, rather than notifying Mr. Clark directly. The housing inspectors would then inform Mr. Clark of the need for repairs. Mr. Clark generally made all necessary repairs within the time required by the housing inspectors notices, even though he was often delayed in making repairs because Ms. Bridges limited his access to the house. Ms. Bridges failed to pay her portion of the rent for three months in 2010, and therefore owed Mr. Clark $453 in back rent.
