On August 14, 1997, the trial court rendered its judgment ordering Appellants to relinquish possession of the premises and to pay Respondents $33,000.00, double the reasonable rental value of $1,500.00 per month for the 11 month period of wrongful possession. The trial court also ordered interest in the sum of $1,755.00, making a total of $34,-755.00. Appellants filed a Motion to Correct the Court’s Judgment on September 10, 1997. Five days later, the trial court filed its Amended Judgment reducing the amount of Respondents’s double rent recovery, now $39,000,2 by the amount of rent Appellants paid during the term of wrongful possession, $17,875.00, rendering an award of $21,125.00. The trial court also ordered interest in the sum of $1,096.89, making a total of $22,-221.89. Appellants allege the trial court erred in granting a judgment in unlawful detainer because the Respondents failed to comply with the statutory and common law requirements of forfeiture.
