Tenancy contracts and agreements are the norms in any society, particularly concerning rental property issues. The tenancy agreement parties are the renter, the property owner, or his designated agent. The requirements that parties to a tenancy agreement must satisfy are outlined in the law (Mann & Roberts, 2013). The law also specifies the rights each of the two parties is entitled to. An example using Roger as a tenant and Larry as a landlord helps to illustrate the rights and obligations and the consequences of breaking them.
Question 1
Both tenants and landlords are subject to legal obligations.
In a tenancy, both the landlord and the tenant are subject to the rights and obligations outlined by federal and state law. The tenant’s first duty is to make the agreed-upon rent payment on time or earlier. The tenant must pay the timing and amount of rent due according to the terms of the lease. The duration could be weekly, monthly, or yearly depending on the mutually agreed upon date. The upkeep of the apartment or rental property’s cleanliness and general condition is a double duty (Mann & Roberts, 2013). The tenant keeps the rental clean and prevents the spread of trash. Third, any harm incurred while the tenant occupied the property must be repaired. Last but not least, the tenant must notify the landlord of any damages that need to be repaired.
The tenant has specific legal rights. First and foremost, he or she has the right to enter and use the rental property. The landlord and other tenants should maintain the tenant’s enjoyment of the space. Second, the tenant has the right to speak with the landlord or the responsible agent whenever it is deemed reasonable if a problem arises.
