Landlord-Tenant Law: A Case Analysis The relationships between a landlord and a tenant do not have to be complicated; however, if at least one of the parties involved displays some degree of negligence, there is a possibility for large problems to emerge. The case in point pictures the scenario, in which the landlord not only deliberately misled the customer by claiming that the roof of the house does not leak but also failed to provide the necessary assistance once the damage to the tenant’s possessions was done due to misinformation. The implications of the case, as well as the conclusions to be made, are quite transparent. The landlord should have been honest about the leaky roof and addressed the repair issue as soon as the tenant started complaining. In fact, in the best-case scenario, the problem of the leaky roof should have been managed before the house was rented. The tenant, in his turn, should not have damaged the house. Therefore, both Roger and Larry will be responsible for the damages that they have caused, and both will have to provide reimbursement to each other so that the issue could be resolved. When considering the current U.S. legislation and the principles that may apply to the case, one must mention that the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act, which was adopted in 1972 as the uniform tool for resolving similar issues only provides the foundation for the regulations in different states. Therefore, the measures that may be taken to address the case in point may vary depending on the state in which the problem has occurred. Therefore, the issue in question needs to be reviewed from the perspective of the Uniform Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. According to the premises that the regulation is based on, the landlord must manage the issue immediately upon being informed: Seeing that the leakage was not the fault of the tenant and that the latter is the case in point provided the information about the leaking roof to the landlord instantly after the problem was discovered, the landlord should have managed the problem immediately by providing the necessary maintenance services, which he did not. The law also states, however, that the damage for which the tenant is responsible must be reimbursed correspondingly: “A breach of the warranty of habitability or a covenant within the lease may constitute constructive eviction, allow the tenant to withhold rent, repair the problem and deduct the cost from the rent, or recover damages” ( Landlord-Tenant Law , 1972, para. 4). Thus, it will be necessary to demand that Larry should provide compensation for the harm caused. In other words, he should provide the financial equivalent of what it will take to cover the costs of the repair. Moreover, seeing that the tenant has intentionally caused damage to the property of the owner, Roger has the right to evict Larry, therefore, breaking the contract. Although the harm that the tenant did to the house can be considered as minor, it, nevertheless, shows that Roger deliberately disregarded the principles that the contract was based on and infringed the rights of the owner. The fact that Roger had been deceived by the landlord before the accident occurred does not excuse the damage done to the property. Therefore, the choices made by the tenan
