Each of the 230 nonmoving tenants was subjected to an act expressly prohibited by section 1942.5, subdivision (c), a rent increase imposed in retaliation for bringing their grievances to the Carlsbad City Council, and each suffered damage by being compelled to pay excessive amounts of rent. Thus, nothing express or implied in the statute undermines the punitive damages awarded by the jury and the judgment must be modified to provide all the tenants with those damages. 2. Attorney Fees
