Property — landlord-tenant – eviction — holdover damages — security deposits

Steven Hanson, pro se, appeals an eviction judgment and an order denying his motion for reconsideration. Hanson argues: (1) the circuit court erred by failing to award the full amount of wrongful holdover damages; and (2) the court exceeded its authority by determining his award would be deducted from his tenant’s security deposit without Hanson’s consent before the twenty-one-day accounting period passed. We agree with both of Hanson’s arguments and modify the court’s judgment and order. As modified, we affirm. This opinion will not be published.
