TENANT AND THE LANDLORD

1 MARCH 11, 2018 LANDLORD RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

THERE ARE SOME RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES THAT APPLY TO LANDLORDS AND TENANTS. THE RIGHTS OF LANDLORDS, JUST LIKE THAT OF LARRY LANDLORD, ARE LIMITED BY STATE LAWS. LANDLORDS HAVE A NUMBER OF RIGHTS. AMONG THESE RIGHTS ARE DETERMINE THE TENANTS THAT WILL LIVE IN THEIR PROPERLY, EVICT TENANTS WHO CAUSE PROBLEMS (DUE TO NOT PAYING RENT OR DAMAGING RENTAL PROPERTY), FURNISH RENTAL UNITS AS THEY LIKE, AND SET LEASE TERMS (SUCH AS NUMBER OF PEOPLE TO RESIDE IN A RENTAL

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).
