The trial court erred in awarding Otey damages based on the “default” rent of $2,200 per month or for late fees, as set forth in the new lease he attempted to force upon Wiley. Otey was bound by terms of the existing lease between Lloyd and Wiley which established monthly rent at $1,500 and $30 for each late payment. The record and the trial court’s findings indicate Wiley paid Otey $16,200 in rent, leaving an unpaid balance of $1,800, plus an additional $240 in fees for the eight payments that were late or unpaid.
