58
Q

2(a) L conveys to T (3yrs at $1000/mo), 1 year later T subleases, transfers, and assigns to T1 for a period of 1 year from that date. Thereafter, neither T nor T1 pays rent to L. What rights does L have against T and T1?

A

1st Question : Sublease or assignment ?
Sublease becuase 1 year left on the lease.
Can LL sue T ? Yes under POC becuase we dont have a novation.
Becuase we have determined that this is a sublease, LL has POE with T. Not a situation where L can sue T1.
No facts that tell us that T1 expressly assumed and no facts that tell us this is a 3rd party. LL can only sue T under POE and POC.

59
Q

2(b) L conveys to T (3yrs at $1000/mo), lease says T covenants to pay the rent in advance on the 1st of each month, and that there is to be no sublease or assignment without L’s permission. Six months later, with L’s permission, T transfers to T1 for the balance of the term. T1 pays directly to L for several months and then defaults. L sues T. What result & why?

A

Assignment. LL can do that under theory of POC becuase there is no novation. Could LL have sued T1 is LL wanted to ? yes becuase it is an assignment and have POE. LL has POE becuase it is an assignment.

60
Q

2© L leases to T (3yrs at $1000/mo), lease says T covenants to pay the rent in advance on the 1st of each month, and covenants to keep the premises in good repair. Six months later T conveys to T1 (assigns full interest and T1 agrees to assume all covenants in the lease). Three months later T1 conveys to T2 (assigns full interest). Three months later T2 conveys to T3 (assigns full interest). T3 defaults and fails to keep in good repair. Who can L sue ?

A

Can the LL sue the T? Yes under POC. Because there is no novation.

If you are writing your answer to this, you are explaining fully not just which person can be sued under which theory and why they can be sued on that theory =.

LL/Tenant will be assessed on MC but also have a PE coming up which could involve LL/T and midterm that involves LL/T.

T1 received property in an assignment but no longer in possession but expressly assumed the covenants in the lase can LL sue T1? Maybe if 3rd party beneficiary rule state. Didn’t tell us so they might be able to sue T1 under POC because T1 expressly assumed the covenants in the lease. If we are in a 3rd party beneficiary rule state.

T2 – did not expressly assume and is no longer in possession can LL sue T2? No.

T3 – received through assignment. T3 is in possession LL can sue T3 under POE.

Add a T4 or T5 that is all that could make it worse.

Mix LL Tenant with Easement and Covenants.
