[RPPTL LandTen] Damages for alleged violation of 83.49(1)?

[Dennis Chen]

I agree with Leonard's assessment regarding the need for multipliers on
attorneys fees.  I think the changes to the landlord tenant law in 2013
make the need for multipliers even more important because it made fighting
eviction cases more difficult for tenants.  In the almost 20 years that I
have been practicing I am not aware of any significant changes to the law
that were in favor of tenants.  The law has become progressively more in
favor of landlords.  Then there was the Stanley decision.  A multiplier is
necessary for an attorney to take cases on a contingent basis.
