Syllabus

R.C. 5321.16(B) security deposit wrongfully withheld proof of damages manifest weight. The trial court erred in awarding the tenant damages based on the landlord's failure to itemize the security deposit because the deposit was not \wrongfully withheld\ as contemplated under R.C. 5321.16(B) and also erred in awarding damages for the tenant's decision to rent a post office box and for the cost of the food items that were lost because of a malfunctioning refrigerator. The judgment in favor of the landlord based on unpaid rent and damage to the property was not against the weight of the evidence.
