Question 1: Legal Principles
According to the Residential Tenancies Act 2006, a landlord is eligible to receive the
rent for the property that he has rented to a tenant. While, the tenant must be given a safe
place to reside for which he has paid or will pay the rent. The agreement between the landlord
and the tenant must be turned into a written Tenancy Agreement. The Tenancy Agreement
should include the rent that needs to be paid, either on weekly, monthly, quarterly or on
annual basis, along with the specific day on which it needs to be paid. The agreement shall
also comprise of the delivery method in which the payment should be made along with the
specific method of payment which is suitable to both the parties. Along with these basic
requisites, the Tenancy agreement should also specify the rights and obligations of the parties
pertaining to the rented property. In addition, it must talk about the deposit amount and the
circumstances under which the landlord shall be obliged to deduct a sum out of it.
Question 2: Case 1
Melissa is eligible to sue David for his failure to make payment of 1 months’ rent, breaching
the Residential Tenancies Act 2006. Melissa has the power to serve a notice under section 59
of the above-stated Act to David, directing him to clear the due payment (Residential
Tenancies Act 2006). She may also pray to the Landlord and Tenancy Board to collect the
rent on her behalf. Melissa may decide to evict David for such non-payment ("Landlord and
Tenant Board | SJTO", 2019).
Question 3: Case 1
It is expected from the above case that David would pay the due rent, either directly to
Melissa or to the Board. If David pays the due rent within 7 days after receiving the notice,
the notice would be void as per section 67 of the Act (Residential Tenancies Act 2006).
