Before KRAMER and FISHER, Associate Judges, and SCHWELB, Senior Judge.

FISHER, Associate Judge:

When a landlord sues a tenant to recover possession of real property, "the Seventh Amendment preserves to either party the right to trial by jury." Pernell v. Southall Realty, 416 U.S. 363, 376, 94 S.Ct. 1723, 40 L.Ed.2d 198 (1974). In this case the tenants were denied that right, and we accordingly remand for a new trial.
