Syllabus

LANDLORD/TENANT – R.C. 5321.05 – DAMAGES – SECURITY DEPOSIT: As there is some competent, credible evidence supporting the measure of damages awarded to the landlord of a rental property after the tenant was evicted, and given the limited argument made by the tenant on appeal, we cannot say the judgment in favor of landlord was against the manifest weight of the evidence, except that the matter is remanded to the trial court to modify the judgment entry to credit the tenant with the withheld security deposit as payment toward that judgment. Judgment affirmed, in part, and reversed, in part; cause remanded with instructions.
