Synopsis
The court granted the tenant's motion for contempt, finding both the landlord and its principal, Karan Singh, in civil contempt for their willful failure to comply with multiple court orders and stipulations to repair a severe rodent and cockroach infestation. The court awarded the tenant over $21,000 in compensatory damages, including a full rent abatement for 11 months and $5,000 for personal property destroyed by pests. The landlord was given 30 days to abate the nuisance, after which the court would impose a $100 daily fine as a rent credit. The court also warned that failure to comply would result in a warrant of commitment and arrest for the landlord's principal.
