Consistent with the judge’s ruling on that motion, the landlords were precluded from introducing any evidence of their lack of knowledge of lead paint in the apartment.3 The jury were instructed on the elements of a claim under the *849lead paint statute (count one) but, over the landlords’ objection, were not charged separately as to the quiet enjoyment statute (count two).4 In response to special questions, the jury found that lead paint on the premises was the proximate cause of the plaintiffs’ injuries, and awarded $25,000 in compensatory damages to Dina and $10,000 in compensatory damages to Husam.
