Residential House Lease
The following prompt is based on the Residential House Lease
found in the Contracts Module. Please reference the Lease by section
number as you answer the prompt. Remember to reference the textbook by
chapter and section. Essay (3-4 complete paragraphs with text or contract references to support your answers)
Tamika, the landlord, refuses to fix a small leak in the roof that
was there prior to the current tenant. Sam, the current tenant, has
just discovered the leak after a heavy rain. The consequence is that
black mold has been forming in the attic for quite some time. Sam still
has significant time remaining on his lease. Sam has notified Tamika
in writing by email of the mold and leak issue but has received no
response. He is concerned about the premises becoming unsafe to live
in. It has been 14 days since he emailed her his notification. What are all of Sam’s options if Tamika declines to do the repairs?
Please discuss all remedies Sam may seek.
Please remember to reference the lease and text to support your
analysis. The majority of your analysis should detail Sam’s remedies.
There are correct legal theory answers for the
prompt. If a student discusses a different legal theory for answering
the prompt, partial points will be given. In cases of complete or
partial answers, textbook references are mandatory to
support the remedy proposed by the student. A textbook reference that
has no bearing on the remedy or legal arguments will be counted as “no
text”. For example, if the contract has an exculpatory section,
referencing the text on contract formation will not meet the
requirement. You must only use Chapter 35 for this analysis. Do not
use any chapter on Contracts!
The lease itself also contains specific remedies. Please identify this lease section when preparing this analysis.
Please remember to reference the applicable parts of the contract that you are using to answer the prompt.
