Zakaria Allaf v. Shoreline Holdings Five, LLC

Summary

The court affirmed the judgment awarding Allaf and Crosby $6,000 in damages plus attorney fees and costs. It held that sufficient evidence supported the finding that the lease terminated by agreement and that the security deposit was wrongfully withheld. It also held that attorney fees awarded under a fee-shifting statute are litigation costs excluded from the $6,000 small-claims damages limit.
