TTTBE #73: Early Answer for Patrons
Added 2018-04-29 23:25:34 +0000 UTCThe answer is "A," which almost no one got correct. Many people (including Thomas) were tripped up by the fact that the liability here is joint and several, meaning that the landlord can recover up to the full $3,500 from either the tenant or the friend -- not that the landlord can double-dip and get $3,500 from each defendant.
None of the other answers are correct. This was an assignment, not a sublease, so (D) is wrong. (B) and (C) misstate key principles of law.
Like all real property questions, this was a tough one. Thomas is now 41-for-73 (56.2%) and will look to right the ship this Friday!
