§3.12 Review

1. Tammy Tucker was served with a 3-day notice to pay or quit. The notice named a sum of back rent and provided a postal address where it must be sent, but failed to provide an address where it could be personally delivered. Tucker mailed the rent due on the third day following service of the notice. Is she in compliance?

Yes
No

2. Lenny Lightfoot served a 3-day notice to quit on Thelma Throttlefoot. The notice stated that Throttlefoot was dealing drugs out of the rental unit and must leave on that basis. At the trial on the UD action Lightfoot produced evidence, including testimony from neighboring tenants, that Throttlefoot had been dealing drugs out of the unit. Throttlefoot challenged Lightfoot’s failure to give her the opportunity to cure the breach. How would you rule on whether Throttlefoot was given proper notice?

a. Throttlefoot should have been given the right to cure the breach.
b. The breach is legally incurable, so Lightfoot’s notice was proper.
c. None of the above

3. If a landlord believes that a tenant has abandoned a rental unit, the landlord must file a UD action to recover the rental unit.

True
False
