Landlord-Tenant Law
Larry Landlord has recently renovated an apartment and has put it on the market to be rented for $800.00 a month. Larry Landlord has been in business for approximately five (5) years and has had both positive and negative experiences with tenants. Larry Landlord is hoping to find a good, long-term tenant for his apartment. Roger Renter saw Larry’s sign for the apartment for rent and thought the location and the apartment would be perfect. Roger met Larry to look at the apartment and Roger fell in love with it. All of the interior fixtures had been replaced and the unit had a nice large closet. Roger noticed that although newly painted, the exterior of the apartment did show a little bit of wear. Because of the condition of the exterior of the building, Roger asked Larry about any roof leaks. Larry stated that he had never had a leak and was not aware of any leaks.
Roger and Larry entered into a valid contract for the rental of the apartment. (Note: The issue of whether or not a contract exists is NOT part of this question. For purposes of this question assume the contract is valid and there are no issues with the contract.)
Roger Renter was very happy in his new location; the apartment was quiet and the neighbors were friendly. Larry Landlord was also very happy because Roger Renter was a model tenant. Roger Renter paid on time and was quiet and respectful to other tenants.
The part of the country where Roger rented was rainy in the summertime. Roger rented and moved into the apartment in October. In June, a tremendous rainstorm occurred and Roger’s roof began to leak. The leak was minor at first and Roger merely put a trash can under the leak and had no other issues that month. When handing over his monthly rent check, Roger told Larry about the small leak. Larry thanked Roger for letting him know about the leak and told Roger he would have it fixed.
The next month the rains came again and the leak grew larger in Roger’s apartment. Roger was not home at the time of the rain and therefore the leak damaged some of Roger’s furniture. Roger called Larry to let him know that there was a leak and asked when it might be fixed. Roger also stated that he thought Larry had fixed the roof. Larry curtly stated, “When it rains, sometimes it pours. When it pours, sometimes it leaks.” Roger did not like Larry’s tone or response and called back to ask when the roof might be fixed. Larry stated, “When I get to it.” The following day, Roger sent Larry a note about the roof leak and asked Larry to please address the issue.
The week before the rent was due, another rainstorm occurred and the leak was even larger. This time the leak damaged Roger’s clothing, furniture, and some precious items he had inherited from family members. Roger called Larry and asked Larry to fix roof immediately. Larry responded in a similar and condescending manner. Roger hung up the phone and threw his baseball bat against the wall, damaging the drywall and knocking out an electrical socket.
Since it was the rainy season, Roger knew it would rain again and therefore simply moved his items away from the leak and did nothing to help mitigate the damage from the leaking roof.
Larry came into the apartment to investigate the leak and found damage from not only the leak but also from the thrown baseball bat. Roger states that the baseball bat damage was a direct result of Larry’s inability to fix the leak based on his anger from Larry’s curt response.

UNIT, PET POLICY, AND AMOUNT OF RENT) (BROWN, PORTMAN,
FREEDMAN, & ROSENQUEST, 2017). SO AS TO AVOID CONFUSION AS
WELL LEGAL DISPUTES WITH TENANTS, IT IS NECESSARY THAT
LANDLORDS GET TO KNOW THEIR LEGAL RESPONSIBILITIES. THE
LIMITS TO THE RIGHTS ARE SET BY LEGAL RESPONSIBILITIES. THE
LEGAL RESPONSIBILITIES REQUIRE LANDLORDS TO COMPLY WITH THE
FOLLOWING; HOUSING LAWS THAT ARE FAIR. 2 THESE LAWS SHOULD
PROHIBIT HOUSING DISCRIMINATION BASED ON GENDER AND RACE
AMONG OTHER FACTORS, RENT RULES SHOULD COVER FORMS AND
PROCEDURE FOR TERMINATING TENANCY DUE TO NOT PAYING RENT,
LATE RENT FEES, AND THE AMOUNT OF RENT THAT CAN BE CHARGED
BY A TENANT, LIMITS FOR SECURITY DEPOSITS, RETURN POLICIES AND
USES, HABITABILITY REQUIREMENTS AND STANDARDS, MANDATED
DISCLOSURES OF LEASE, SUCH AS SHARED UTILITY ARRANGEMENT,
LIMITS ON ACCESS TO RENTAL PROPERLY BY A LANDLORD, FORMS,
PROCEDURES, AND RULES THAT ARE SPECIFIC NEEDED WHEN
EVICTING OR TERMINATING A TENANT, AND ANTI-RETALIATION LAWS
(THESE ARE LAWS THAT ARE MEANT TO PREVENT LANDLORDS FROM
EVICTING TENANTS OR RAISING RENT BECAUSE OF COMPLAINTS THAT
ARE RAISED BY TENANTS).
1 ON THE OTHER HAND, TENANTS ALSO HAVE RIGHTS AND
RESPONSIBILITIES. A TENANT, SUCH AS ROGER RENTER, HAS THE
RIGHT TO EXCLUSIVE POSSESSION. THIS MEANS THAT IRRESPECTIVE
OF THE LANDLORD OWNING THE RENTAL PROPERTY, THE TENANT HAS
THE RIGHT TO HIS OR HER PRIVACY. NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO
INVADE THE HOUSE OF A TENANT WITHOUT LEGAL AUTHORITY
(EASTHOPE, 2014). A 24 HOURS NOTICE HAS TO BE GIVEN BY A
LANDLORD BEFORE HE OR SHE DECIDES TO ENTER A RENTAL UNIT
UNLESS THERE IS AN EMERGENCY. THE SECOND RIGHT OF A TENANT IS
ONE RELATING TO A HABITABLE HOME. ACCORDING TO THIS, A RENTAL
UNIT SHOULD BE SANITARY AND SAFE. WHEN A TENANT IS MOVING IN,
THE PLACE SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY KIND OF PEST, PROPER

WEATHERPROOFING, WIRING, HEATING, AND PLUMBING. THESE
CONDITIONS SHOULD BE MAINTAINED BY A LANDLORD THROUGHOUT
THE RENTAL PERIOD. APART FROM THE RIGHTS, THERE ARE SOME
RESPONSIBILITIES THAT ARE TO BE EXECUTED BY TENANTS, SUCH AS
ROGER RENTER. A TENANT SHOULD USE RENTAL PROPERTY AS A
HOME. MOREOVER, ONE SHOULD PAY RENT ON TIME, AND THE RENTAL
PROPERTY SHOULD KEEP CLEAN. ONE SHOULD NOT DAMAGE
PROPERTY, SUCH AS TAMPERING WITH SOCKETS OR SMOKE ALARMS. A
TENANT ALSO HAS A RESPONSIBILITY OF BEHAVING IN A MANNER
THAT DOES NOT AFFECT NEIGHBORS. AT THE END OF THE TENANCY,
THE RENTAL UNIT MUST BE RETURNED TO THE LANDLORD IN THE
SAME CONDITION AS IT WAS, OR THERE SHOULD BE REASONABLE
WEAR AND TEAR. THIS MEANS THAT THE PROPERTY SHOULD NOT
HAVE MANY THINGS IN IT THAT BROKEN OR DAMAGED.
WHETHER OR NOT THE LANDLORD AND/OR THE TENANT HAD A LEGAL
DUTY TO MITIGATE DAMAGES
The landlord has the legal obligation to alleviate reparation. 1 THE OBLIGATION TO
MITIGATE DAMAGES COVERS THE WHOLE PERIOD TENANCY. IT DOES
NOT MATTER THE CAUSE OF DAMAGE. A LANDLORD SHOULD WORK ON
DAMAGES ON A RENTED PROPERTY WITHIN REASONABLE TIME AFTER
BEING NOTIFIED BY A TENANT. EVEN THOSE PROPERTIES THAT HAVE
BEEN DAMAGED BY TENANT SHOULD BE REPAIRED. HOWEVER, THE
COST OF REPAIR SHOULD BE CHARGED TO THE TENANT.
IN THE SCENARIO AT HAND, THE HOUSE WAS IN GOOD CONDITION
BEFORE LARRY LANDLORD, AND ROGER RENTER DECIDED TO ENTER
INTO THE CONTRACT. THE ROOF TO THE RENTAL PROPERTY WAS NOT
LEAKING. HOWEVER, THE ROOF STARTED LEAKING AFTER A
RAINSTORM IN THE MONTH OF JUNE. DUE TO THE LEAKAGE, ROGER
WAS FORCED TO PUT A CAN WHERE THE ROOF WAS LEAKING. THE
NEXT THING HE DID WAS NOTIFYING LARRY ABOUT THE PROBLEM.

AFTER BEING NOTIFIED, LARRY PROMISED TO FIX THE PROBLEM.
LARRY LANDLORD HAD THE LEGAL OBLIGATION OF FIXING THE
PROBLEM, WHICH WAS REPAIRING THE ROOF IN ORDER TO DO AWAY
WITH ROOF LEAKAGE. LARRY SHOULD HAVE SPOKEN TO ROGER AND
AGREE ON A GOOD TIME TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. SINCE THE PROBLEM
WAS NOT FIXED BY LARRY, MORE PROPERTIES BELONGING TO ROGER
WERE DESTROYED BY WATER SINCE THE LEAKING HOLE GREW EVEN
LARGER. AMONG SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WERE DESTROYED WERE
FURNITURE AND PRECIOUS ITEMS THAT WERE INHERITED.
LARRY WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT THE PROBLEM IN TIME. ALSO, MORE
TIME HAD BEEN GIVEN BY ROGERS SINCE LARRY WAS INFORMED OF
THE PROBLEM WHILE IT WAS STILL SMALL. LEGALLY, THE OBLIGATION
OF REPAIRING THE DAMAGED ROOF LIES ON LARRY. HOWEVER, ROGER
CAN REPAIR THE ROOF AND GIVE WRITTEN NOTICE TO LARRY ABOUT
THIS. THE COST OF REPAIRING CAN BE DEDUCTED FROM THE RENT
FEE. THIS IS POSSIBLE SINCE LARRY WAS TAKING LONG TO REPAIR THE
ROOF AND THE LEAKAGE WAS CAUSING A LOT OF PROBLEMS TO ROGER.
WHETHER OR NOT LARRY HAS LEGAL GROUNDS TO EVICT ROGER
THERE ARE FIVE LEGAL GROUNDS FOR EVICTING A TENANT. THESE
GROUNDS ARE NONPAYMENT OF RENT, LEASE VIOLATION, PROPERTY
DAMAGE, ILLEGAL OR DRUG-RELATED ACTIVITY, AND THE EXPIRATION
OF A LEASE. IN THIS SCENARIO, THE GROUND FOR EVICTING A TENANT
THAT IS BEING EVIDENT IS PROPERTY DAMAGE.
HOWEVER, MANY FAULTS RELATING TO THE WHOLE PROBLEM CAN BE
DIRECTED TO LARRY. THIS IS BECAUSE LARRY DID NOT ACT
ACCORDINGLY REGARDING THE COMPLAINTS THAT WERE RAISED BY
ROGER RELATING TO THE LEAKING ROOF AS HE HAD PROMISED. THE
REACTION OF ROGER RELATING TO DAMAGING A SOCKET HAS MADE
HIM BE PLACED IN A SITUATION WHERE HE CAN BE HELD LIABLE FOR

THE DAMAGE HE HAD CAUSED (EASTHOPE, 2014).
CONSIDERING THE GROUNDS FOR LEGAL EVICTION, ESPECIALLY
PROPERTY DAMAGE, LARRY CAN LEGALLY EVICT ROGER. ROGER
DAMAGED THE HOUSE THROUGH THE USE OF BASEBALL BAT. THIS CAN
BE A VALID REASON TO EVICT ROGER FROM THE HOUSE. LARRY HAS TO
GIVE ROGER A 30-DAY WRITTEN NOTICE TO EVICT THE PREMISE.
ROGER WAS A MODEL TENANT, BUT HIS ACTION LEADING TO
DAMAGING OF THE PROPERTY HAS CHANGED THIS STATUS. LARRY
SHOULD DIRECT ATTENTION TO REPAIRING THE HOUSE. THIS WILL BE
VERY IMPORTANT IN PREVENTING FURTHER DISAGREEMENT WITH
ROGER. EXECUTING HIS RESPONSIBILITIES PROPERLY WILL HELP TO
SOLVE THE BAD RELATIONSHIP THAT IS STARTING TO EMERGE
BETWEEN HIM AND ROGER. CREATING A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WILL
HELP MAKE ROGER BECOME A LONG-TERM TENANT. ONE THING THAT
LARRY SHOULD CONSIDER BEFORE MAKING THE DECISION RELATING
TO EVICTION IS THAT ROGER IS A GOOD TENANT. SINCE THE TIME HE
STARTED STAYING IN THE RENTAL UNIT, HE HAS BEEN COMPLYING
WITH RULES AND REGULATION PROPERLY. WHAT ANGERED HIM IS
THE ISSUE OF HIS THINGS BEING DESTROYED BY WATER AND LARRY
NOT ACTING AS PER HIS COMPLAINTS.
WHETHER OR NOT ROGER HAS A LEGAL OBLIGATION TO PAY FOR THE
DAMAGE
LEGALLY, ROGER HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGES
HE CAUSED TO THE RENTAL UNIT BELONGING TO LARRY. ROGER
DAMAGED THE PROPERTY WILLFULLY. THIS IS BECAUSE HE THREW A
BASEBALL BAT AND DAMAGED ELECTRICAL SOCKET AS WELL AS
DRYWALL. HE HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF REPAIRING THE HOUSE
AND MAKING SURE IT IS RETURNED TO THE STATE IT WAS AS HE
RENTED THE HOUSE. HE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS ACTION
THAT BROUGHT ABOUT DAMAGES TO THE PROPERTY.

LARRY IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGES THAT WERE BROUGHT
ABOUT BY ROGER, THAT IS, THROWING A BASEBALL BAT AND
DESTROYING THE WALL AND ELECTRICAL SOCKET. DAMAGES THAT
LARRY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ARE THOSE RELATED TO ROOF LEAKAGE.
DAMAGES CAUSED BY ROOF LEAKAGE DESTROYED ROGER’S
FURNITURE AS WELL AS PRECIOUS ITEMS HE HAS INHERITED. THE
REASON FOR THIS IS BECAUSE THE LAW CALLS FOR PROPERTY
OWNERS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEIR PROPERTIES ARE IN A HABITABLE
STATE. LANDLORDS SHOULD MAKE SURE THAT NECESSARY REPAIRS
ARE CARRIED OUT IN GOOD TIME AND IN THE REQUIRED MANNER.
LANDLORDS AND TENANTS HAVE TO ENSURE THEY CARRY OUT THEIR
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES. DOING THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT
WILL HELP AVOID PROBLEMS (BOYER & RYAN, 2016).
