Description

WADE, Justice. Defendant appeals from a judgment awarding plaintiff $2,025 balance of the unpaid rent under the lease, $3,000 damages for the collapse of the rented building and $500 attorneys fees. The question is presented: Does the evidence sustain the courts finding that the building collapsed as the result of unreasonable use thereof by overloading and not as the result of only reasonable use or from damages caused by the elements? If the answer to this question is in the affirmative, then the judgment must be approved; otherwise the award of damages to the property cannot be sustained and the award for the unpaid rentals can only be sustained on the common law doctrine that where the leased premises are destroyed without the fault of the lessee he must still pay the full rent as provided in the lease.
