Lease Agreement Clarification

Summary

The lease between Luis and Tanya is a term of years determinable, ending upon Tanyas graduation. In a commercial lease, under traditional common law, the original landlord can hold the first tenant liable due to privity of contract and the second tenant liable due to privity of estate. The third tenant is liable for their own actions under privity of estate. The correct choice for liability is the first and second tenant.

Full Conversation

*. A tenant of a commercial property has a lease with 10 years remaining. This tenant then "assigns, transfers, and subleases" all 10 years of their leasehold interest to a second tenant. The second tenant, after using the property for 1 year, "assigns, subleases, and transfers" * of the remaining 9 years on the lease to a third tenant. The third tenant then violates a term in the lease providing that the tenant will "maintain the grounds of the property in good condition". Who may the original landlord hold liable under a traditional common law system? o The first tenant only. o The first and second tenant but not the third. o The third tenant only o The second and third tenant only but not the first. o The second tenant only.
Under a traditional common law system, the original landlord may hold the first tenant liable. This is because the first tenant remains in privity of contract with the landlord, meaning they are still responsible for the lease terms despite any subleases or assignments.
