The trial court declined to admit the proffered testimony as being irrelevant because the statute[2] provides that the landlord is entitled to possession immediately upon the expiration of the fixed term. Further, said the court, if there is any inconsistency between the statute and the housing regulations[3] the statute prevails.[4] Finding that the term of the lease had expired, the trial court concluded that the landlord was entitled to possession. We hold it was error to refuse to admit the testimony proffered to show a retaliatory eviction purpose by the landlord.
