| Movers allotment (NC-reasonable) | $2,500 |
| Grounded compensatory | $35,883 (= $21,378 + $11,600 + $405 + $2,500) |
Fee stack: Rent $3,400 + Tech $25 + Pest $10 + Laundry $25 + Pet $25 = $3,485
Willfulness (unlocks treble — all Defendant's own records): storage break-in via an unlocked door + refused locks (Ex 8) · 2019 shooting notice (Ex 9) · years of "noise" claims never measured against the dB ordinance they cited (Ex 10) · retaliatory eviction ~Feb 9 during settlement (§ 42-37.1). Lead low ($35,883); treble is a ceiling, argued only on willfulness.
