Legal principles involved in the cases
Question 1
Under the Residential Tenancies Act 2006, the landlord has a right to receive his rent
on time from the tenant who has rented the property of the landlord for a given time. The
tenant, on the other hand has the right to get a safe place to live in. There should be a legal
agreement between the parties, that is the landlord and the tenant which should specify their
rights and obligations clearly (Werner & Kratovil, 2002). The tenancy agreement should
clearly specify the amount of rent agreed between the parties, the day on which it needs to be
paid, how it is going to be delivered to the landlord and the specific payment method feasible
for both the parties (Werner & Kratovil, 2002).. They must discuss about their respective
responsibilities towards the rented property, along with the fact about the deposit amount that
the landlord takes from the tenant as a security deposit and retains during the tenancy period
of the tenant in accordance to the Residential Tenancies Act 2006.
Case 1
Question 2
Melissa has the right to sue David for he did not pay the rent for 11 months straight
which violates the provisions of Residential Tenancies Act 2006. Melissa could serve a notice
to David under Section 59 of the Act directing David to clear the due amount or she could
apply to the Landlord And Tenant Board to collect the due amount from David. Melissa also
has a choice to evict David after selecting the due amount from him ("Landlord and Tenant
Board | SJTO", 2019).
