Legal Question
Appeal of a Judge's Mathamatical Error
In his decision a Housing Court Judge did not credit a tenant's check
which was clearly shown to have been paid and cashed by the landlord;
this amounted to 1 months rent.
By letter the landlord has refused to credit the tenant with this
payment; the landlord made the tenant pay this month's rent a second
time.
If the tenant appealed the Judge's Decision in Housing Court and
clearly showed this error, would he be eligible for legal fees and possibly
damages in getting this money reimbursed; legal fees are reciprocal in
the lease.
