The Kimballs acknowledge the applicability
of Poncz, 34 Mass. App. Ct. at 911, but claim that some of the above-noted
circumstances applied here.  Initially,
the Kimballs argue that "the arrangement actually had a negative impact on
[their] use and enjoyment." 
Id.  This argument fails where the
judge found that the Kimballs "agreed to pay for the utilities since the
inception of the tenancy"; that 133 West Main had not "breached the
covenant of quiet enjoyment in this case"; and that the Kimballs'
obligation to pay for utilities without a written agreement did not constitute
a violation of their quiet enjoyment of the premises.  These explicit findings refute any suggestion
that the Kimballs' obligation to pay for utilities interfered with their use
and enjoyment of the premises.
