Appellant Joshua N. Bedell entered into a lease with appellee Inver Housing, Inc. to rent commercial space located at 317 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W. Appellant rented the property for use as a gallery displaying works of African art. Appellant claimed that, prior to moving into the property, he proffered a check in the amount of $450 as a security deposit, and a second check in the amount of $450 for January rent. Further, appellant asserted that, due to delay in repair of the property, he was unable to begin occupancy until February 1979. Several months after he occupied the gallery, appellant moved into a residential apartment located on the second floor of the property. At the time he moved into the apartment, appellant’s rent for the entire premises was increased from $450 to $715 per month.
