**Brief Description:**
The Create Account use case allows the Landlord to create a login and become a Registered Landlord.

There is an active network connection to the application.
The prospective Landlord has not already created an acount.

**Basic Flow of Events**

2. The Landlord enters the required Landlord account information and requests that the
application saves the values entered.
3. The application validates that its constraints against the values entered.
4. The values for the Landlord account information are stored into the Landlord’s account. The application notifies the Landlord that the account has been created via e-mail.

**Alternative Flows**
1. Values entered do not meet our constraints:
The application gives an error message and prompts the Landlord to re-enter valid information. The Landlord re-enters the information and the application checks its constraints against the values entered. This is recursive.
