Question

madison a tenant, moves from her apartment in breach of the lease agreement. The landlord, lenny, has no duty to mitigate his damages by attempting to rent the apartment true/false

Answer 1

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Lenny should try to mitigate or lower his damages by seeking another tenant and renting the apartment as soon as possible.

Lenny is entitled to use Madison's security deposit to cover all the possible damages generated by her contract breach, and if necessary he could sue her if the damages were too large.

Generally most landlords will not sue their tenants because unless the damages are too large, usually the security deposit should cover most of them. Filing a lawsuit costs money and if the loss is not significant enough, it is not worth it.
