The appellants, former employees of NRZ, were housed in company properties during employment. After termination of employment (last termination in 2013), the respondent sued for eviction. The appellants claimed they could not be evicted because the respondent owed them $25,000, while the respondent admitted owing only $10,000 which was paid in full.
