Rosen and Nancy Rosen of 1120 S. Forest were ordered by Ann Arbor District Judge Pieter G. V. Thomassen to pay $280 in back rent to Arbor Management Co., plus court costs, within 10 days. Rosen is a U-M graduate stu- dent in sociology from New York City. Dale Berry, a U-M law stu- dent who is a member of the Tenants Union steering com- mittee that is conducting the rent strike, said today the rent. strikers consider yesterday's judgment a victory because Arbor Management Co. had sought $300 damages. Berry said no appeal of the judgment is planned. Jack Becker, attorney for Arbor Management, said the $280 damages set by the jury does not represent any reduc- tion from the $150 monthly rent on the Rosens' apartment, but simply a $20 reduction from the amount of rent Arbor Manage- ment had claimed for February and March. A jury trial in another rent- strike case, Arbor Management Co. versus Virginia Lewis of 549 Packard, was expected to take place late this afternoon. Three s imilar trials a r e scheduled March 27, and a fourth on April 1. E I
