. We find no merit in the landlords’ additional contention that the trial court’s ruling was so internally inconsistent as to constitute reversible error. The asserted inconsistency is that the court found both that the tenant vacated the premises on August 30, and that her attempts to return her keys were ineffective. Those findings, however, are not necessarily incompatible. It was reasonable for the trial court to conclude that the tenant vacated when she moved herself and her belongings out of the apartment, notwithstanding the breakdown in the attempted return of the keys.
