If such court finds that a person is in violation of such paragraph for the unlawful sale of data, such court shall, in addition to any other relief such court determines to be appropriate: 1. Award to each such occupant per each unlawful sale of such occupant's data: (i) compensatory damages and, in such court's discretion, punitive damages, or (ii) at the election of each occupant, damages ranging from $200 to $1,000; and 2. Award to such occupants reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs. b. Nothing in this section shall relieve any such occupant or occupants from any obligation to pay rent or any other charge for which such occupant or occupants are otherwise liable to a person found to be in violation of this chapter. Nothing in this section shall affect any other right or responsibility of an occupant or owner afforded to such person pursuant to a lawful lease. c. This section does not limit or abrogate any claim or cause of action a person has under common law or by other law or rule. The provisions of this section are in addition to any other remedies that may be provided for under common law or by other law or rule.
