Trial was conducted in two phases commencing in 1991. In the initial phase, a jury determined the March 1981 rent increase was in fact imposed in retaliation for the tenants’ opposition to the earlier rent increase. In the second phase of the trial conducted in 1996, after an intervening bankruptcy proceeding initiated by Dawes, a second jury determined that 423 tenants had left Rancho Carlsbad as a result of Schwab’s and Dawes’s conduct and had suffered a total of $1.7 million in compensatory damages.
