After a bench trial, the trial court entered judgment, making the following find*568ings: (1) J & M’s request for interest from May 27, 2005 to August 24, 20101 was unconscionable because J & M was aware of Brown’s whereabouts as of the move-out date of May 6, 2005 and delayed filing this action until September 13, 2010; (2) J & M failed to submit evidence regarding its request for attorney fees; and (3) Brown failed to provide the required 30-day notice to terminate as required by the lease. Thus, the trial court ordered Brown to pay J & M: (1) $1,959.32 for rent and late fees; (2) $33.41 for the unpaid water bill; and (3) $1,270.75 for the re-letting fee under the lease. The trial court also noted Brown was entitled to a setoff in the amount of $950.00, which represents the security deposit of $750.00 and a payment credit of $200.00 from October 13, 2005. Thus, J <& M was awarded a total judgment of $2,313.64.
