L. c. 186, § 14, because “the [landlord] himself attempted to do most of the repairs in the early months of the tenancy. Not only were these repairs not done in a good and workmanlike manner but the [tenants] (husband, wife and eight year old child) were forced to live in one bedroom for three months.” Furthermore, “during the heating season,” in March and October, the tenants “were without adequate heat.” He awarded the tenants statutory damages of three months’ rent, which totaled $1,800, plus attorney’s fees.
