Joseph Cannistra v. William Charles (Billy) Brown

Syllabus

This appeal involves a challenge to a circuit court's award to a landlord for a deficiency in lease payments. The landlord and tenant offered conflicting testimony regarding the terms of the parties' agreement. The circuit court judge found the landlord's description of the agreement more convincing than the tenant's and awarded the landlord a judgment in the amount of $9,800 as well as costs. On appeal, the tenant insists the circuit court judge erred in his assessment of the conflicting testimony. We find the trial court's determination to be supported by the record and therefore affirm the judgment of the trial court.
