Description
Plaintiffs, Richard and Brenda Miller, instituted this action on 17 May 1985 against defendant, C.W. Myers Trading Post, Inc., seeking a retroactive rent abatement for defendants alleged violations of the Residential Rental Agreement Act. The alleged violations included failure to comply with the Housing Code of the City of Winston-Salem, failure to make repairs necessary to put and keep the rented premises in a fit and habitable condition, and failure to maintain in a good and safe working order and promptly repair all electrical, plumbing, sanitary and other facilities supplied by defendant as required by N.C. Gen. Stat. Sec. 42-42(a)(1), (2) and (4) (1984). Plaintiffs also sought to recover punitive damages, alleging that the number of Housing Code violations and defendants prolonged failure to make repairs after notice from the City of Winston-Salem and from plaintiffs "evidences a reckless and wanton disregard of the plaintiffs rights to live in a dwelling fit for human habitation." Defendants answered, denying the material allegations of the Complaint, setting forth several defenses, including the statute of limitations, and counterclaiming for court costs and attorneys fees based on allegations that plaintiffs instituted the action in retaliation for defendants efforts to sell the house rented by them.
