The judge found that the actual value of the apartment from January 15, 1983, to August 15, 1983, was zero, and that the value for August 15, 1983, to September 15, 1983, was $75. Damages were calculated to be $375 per month from January 15 to August 15 (seven months), which was multiplied by eight months rather than seven. The judge added $300 for the month ending September 15 (because Haddad had made some repairs), for a total of $3,300. That figure was trebled under G. L. c. 93A. Because the judge found that the tenancy lasted only eight months, damages should have been calculated only for that period. Haddad is entitled to a reduction in damages in the amount of $1,125, which represents damages for one month trebled.
