At trial, the plaintiffs testified about high rent and the effect it had on their lives, as noted in our statement of facts above. Plaintiffs' main damages expert, commercial appraiser Robert Caringella, testified regarding his comparison of the rent charged at Terrace View to the rent charged at 10 comparable parks in the Lakeside area. He showed the jury a chart that listed rents paid in other parks in the area, and testified that the average rent in nine of the parks he visited (plus "four or five other parks") was $ 850. He further testified that market rent for Terrace View was $ 900 to $ 1,000, and that this "assumes [Terrace View is] well-managed, there's no problems with maintenance, there's no issues with water, sewer, electrical, that this is a nice place to live." Caringella did not offer any opinion on damages that plaintiffs suffered as a result of defendants' alleged failure to maintain the park in good working order and condition.
