Key legal question
Whether the first-instance taxation of eviction enforcement costs, including locksmith and moving company fees, had to be reduced
Extracted holding
The challenged costs were sufficiently substantiated and reasonable; no reduction was warranted.
Extracted reasoning
The locksmith invoice matched the work and materials provided. The moving company’s fees were comparable only in appearance to the appellant’s offer; that offer omitted supplies and packing costs. Given the volume of furniture and objects, the use of a moving company, the three days of work, and the reduced invoice already reflecting the tenant’s own participation, the amounts were justified.
