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 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.

Larry Landlord has recently renovated an apartment and has put it on.docx

  • 1. 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 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
  • 2. 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. Suppose you are a mediator.
