The clash began after Spring refused to pay a $287 electrician’s bill that his landlord forwarded him for the repair of a burnt-out socket in his unit. Shortly after, the landlord notified Spring that his rent would increase by $100 per month.
The jury awarded Spring $16,000 — an amount that Oregon law doubles to $32,000 because of the nature of the violation. On top of that, Spring’s attorneys also are entitled to ask a judge to order the landlord to pay all of Spring’s legal fees, an amount that currently stands at $225,000.
You don’t think the electrician doing the work got all that, do you? The company that signs his paycheck took the lion’s share.
Probably fair.
I was imagining an independent contractor type of guy, but it seems

You know it’s a typo because there are no streets for walking in the US.
Haha too true.
