938 charsHere, the judge awarded Stella three months' rent upon concluding that Lindquist retaliated against him for reporting code violations to the city. The retaliation, the judge found, took three forms: (1) raising Stella's rent, (2) serving an eviction notice, and (3) "arguabl[y] chang[ing] the terms of the tenancy with respect to the available parking." The second of these findings is not clearly erroneous. It is undisputed that Lindquist served the eviction notice within six months of Stella's reporting the violations, giving rise to a presumption of retaliation. Furthermore, the judge was justified in finding that Lindquist did not rebut the presumption. Contrary to Lindquist's assertion, the evidence showed that she knew in January of 2016, before she served the eviction notice, that Stella had reported the violations to the city. In addition, Lindquist failed to offer a sufficient independent justification for her action.6
