Leasing and Tenancy
Overview: It is one thing to know the basic laws of tenancy
and another to apply them. In this fictional scenario, you look at
a tenant’s rights and a landlord’s rights regarding a leasing
situation. In an area where property ownership is out of the
realm of possibility for certain economic groups, leasing tends
to become the norm. Knowing what laws apply can be useful
both as a consumer and as a real estate sales or leasing
agent.
The following Course Outcomes are assessed in this
assignment:
MT432-3: Recommend a landlord–tenant legal dispute
resolution.
GEL-1.02: Demonstrate college-level communications through
the composition of original materials in Standard English.
Read the fictional scenario and respond to the checklist items
in a case study analysis in a thorough manner.
Scenario:
Susa Hansson leased an apartment in Austin, Texas, for
$1,000 per month, signing a periodic tenancy agreement with
the landlord. In December, the first month of occupancy, Susa
found that the heat was sporadic. She did not inform the
landlord because her neighbors had already put in a request to
fix the heat in the building.

Then a month later she found the water pressure insufficient to
take a shower. In the fourth month, there were all sorts of
vermin running throughout the building.
By May 30, she had had enough problems and sent an email
to the landlord saying she was moving out the next day since
she found the apartment uninhabitable. She further stated that
she wanted her 2-month deposit back and left her parents’
address for the landlord to send payment. Susa abandoned the
apartment the next day after having sent the email. The
landlord refused to return her deposit and is taking her to small
claims court. In the interim, he rented her apartment starting
July 1.
