The court found the written leases constituted newly negotiated agreements that did not include any term or reliable evidence that defendants assumed the prior tenant's obligations or promised to reinstate the unit; absent clear contractual provision or credible contemporaneous evidence, defendants were not liable for restoration, rent loss, inspection fees or hotel costs; only proven unpaid government rent of HK$1,212 could be recovered and set off against the deposit; costs awarded against plaintiff at 90% due to partial and late amendments and conduct.
