Computer Rent Printout Admitted into Evidence

November 1, 1999

LVT Number: 13640

Landlord sued to evict tenant for nonpayment of rent. The court ruled for landlord, and tenant appealed, claiming, among other things, that the court shouldn't have relied on landlord's computer rent printout to determine how much rent was owed. The appeals court ruled against tenant. The court properly admitted into evidence landlord's computer printout as a business record. Landlord's agent identified the document in testimony.
