Clarke v. Royal
Citations
- 2021 Ohio 2005
Syllabus
The trial court did not err in awarding double damages and attorney fees under R.C. 5321.16 to a tenant whose landlord wrongfully had withheld her security deposit. The landlord had notice of the address of the tenant's lawyer, and could have returned the security deposit there. And the trial court properly calculated (and pared) the fee loadstar in this context of a statutorily mandated fee award, the trial court did not need expert testimony to assess the $150 per hour charges for the itemized work.
