Lou the landlord and his tenants signed two contracts. One was a formal lease for his
Friendly Dawg owner tenant, who is now deceased. The other agreement was a verbal lease
between Lou and Sunshine Yoga's proprietor. Both have the components of a contract that must
be present: an understanding, a consideration, the ability to contract, and a legal object (Kubasek,
Browne, Herron, Dhooge, and Barkacs 2020). After the owner of Friendly Dawgs passed away,
his son took over the company. This led to disputes between the tenants, and it is now unclear if
either firm is subject to any contractual responsibilities.
The Friendly Dawg's proprietor sadly died, thus a new agreement with landlord Lou is
required. There is no agreement between Dave and Lou about the rental of the property because
the original contract was drafted and signed by Dave Dawgs' father, who is now deceased. The
offeror's offer to engage into the contract was rejected by a present offeree, hence the
requirements of a contract have not been satisfied. These factors, together with consideration,
contractual capacity, and a legal object, must be included in each new contract that is made
because the prior offeree has passed away.
Sunshine Yoga and landlord Lou have an agreement in which Sunshine Yoga agrees to
pay rent to Lou in return for Lou providing a location for Sunshine Yoga to conduct business.
Sunshine Yoga was a legitimate offer made by Lou to Jasmine, thus it didn't matter if the
agreement was verbal or written down. Lou lacks the justification necessary to evict her because
the contract is valid and binding.
