Question

Violating an Apartment Lease occurs when a tenant does something banned by the legally binding document that he or she has signed with a landlord. Which situation below is the best example of Violating an Apartment Lease?

• A. Priyanka has decided to move to another city, so he calls his landlord to tell him that he is not interested in renewing his lease when it expires next month.
• B. Sharad recently lost her job and, for the last three months, has neglected to pay his landlord the monthly rent they agreed upon in writing when he moved into her apartment eight months ago.
• C. Uday writes a letter to his landlord that lists numerous complaints about the apartment he has agreed to rent for two years.
• D. Anna thinks that her landlord is neglecting the building in which she rents an apartment. He calls her attorney to ask for advice.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

• Option (A) involves notifying the landlord about not renewing the lease, which is not a violation of the lease agreement.
• Option (B) describes Sharad failing to pay rent as agreed in the lease, which is a clear violation of the lease terms. This is the correct example.
• Option (C) describes Uday listing complaints about the apartment, which does not violate the lease.
• Option (D) involves Anna seeking legal advice but does not indicate a violation of the lease agreement.

Thus, Option (B) is the best example of violating an apartment lease.
