        "text": "Mr. JUSTICE ROMITI\ndelivered the opinion of the court:\nPlaintiff, Investors Shelter Corporation, entered into a 1-year residential lease with defendant, Richard Chernick. The lease contained a cognovit provision. Defendant vacated the premises with 3 months remaining in the term of the lease. Plaintiff confessed judgment against defendant for $912.50 which included attorney\u2019s fees. However, at a subsequent hearing judgment was entered for defendant. Plaintiff appeals contending that defendant failed to prove his claim of a constructive eviction.\nWe affirm.\nThe record merely recites that the trial court heard evidence, arguments of counsel and was \u201cfully advised in the premises\u201d before judgment was entered for defendant. The record does not contain a verbatim transcript of the trial proceedings, a factual stipulation by the parties or bystanders\u2019 report of proceedings as required by Supreme Court Rule 323. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1975, ch. 110A, par. 323.) And the briefs filed by the parties contain factual assertions which are not in agreement concerning the issue of whether a constructive eviction occurred thereby negating defendant\u2019s lease obligation.\nThe burden is on the plaintiff, as appellant, to present a record of sufficient completeness in order to question the quantum of the evidence pertaining to an issue raised at trial. (Angel v. Angelos (1976), 35 Ill. App. 3d 905, 907, 342 N.E.2d 748.) Factual allegations contained in a post-trial motion may not be used as a substitute for a proper report of proceedings. (Belcher v. Spillman (1975), 28 Ill. App. 3d 973, 975, 329 N.E.2d 550.) And in the absence of a proper record it is presumed sufficient evidence was properly presented to support the trial court\u2019s judgment thus requiring its affirmance. Amalgamated Trust & Savings Bank v. Conrad Kern Co. (1975), 34 Ill. App. 3d 430, 433-34, 340 N.E.2d 36; Aurora Packing Co. v. Bolingbrook Inn Co. (1975), 27 Ill. App. 3d 186, 188, 325 N.E.2d 639.\nIn the present case the record on appeal is not sufficient for this court to ascertain the correctness of the trial court\u2019s determination. Accordingly, the presumption of correctness applies and the judgment of the circuit court is affirmed.\nJudgment affirmed.\nJOHNSON, P. J., and LINN, J., concur.",
