Sophie F. Bronowiski Mulligan Irrevocable Trust v. Todd Arthur Bridges

Summary

The Rhode Island Supreme Court affirmed the trial court’s award of unpaid rent but vacated its denial of damages for wallpaper restoration and its refusal to award attorney’s fees, remanding for further determination on those issues. The Court held that the lease’s clear language mandates a cost‑of‑repair measure for temporary damage and authorizes reasonable attorney’s fees.
