There are two questions for this Contract 1. I am looking for the ability to
read and comprehend the contract so the appropriate contract clause can be
applied to the questions connected with each contract. In order to answer
the contract fact scenario, you will also need to be able to identify the legal
concept that is applicable to the situation described. This is an analysis so
please treat it as such. Your personal opinion is not appropriate.
There are
correct
answers for each question. If a student discusses a
different legal theory for answering the questions, partial points will be
given. In cases of complete or partial answers, text references are
mandatory to support the remedy proposed by the student. A text reference
that has no bearing on the remedy or legal arguments will be counted as
"no text". For example, if any contract has an issue of risk of loss,
referencing the text on contract formation will not meet the requirement.
The sections of the text that you have read contain all the information you
need for this analysis.
Please remember to reference the applicable parts of the contract that you
are using to answer each question.
Your response should be in IRAC
Writing Format.
A student will be given 3 points for the text reference, 3 points for the
contract reference, with 11 points for the analysis itself.
The remaining 3 points will be given as a spelling/grammar score. Following
is the prompt.
Residential House Lease
The following question is based on the Residential House Lease
found in the Contracts Module. Please reference the Lease by
clause number as you answer the questions.
Essay (
IRAC Format-
complete with
text
references to the
textbook and the contract to
support
your answers)
Jorge, the landlord, refuses to fix a small gap in a windowsill in the basement
window that was there prior to the current tenant. Ayan, the current tenant,
has just discovered the gap after a heavy rain. The consequence is that black
mold has been forming in the basement for quite some time. Ayan still has
significant time remaining on her lease. Ayan has notified Jorge in writing by
email of the mold and leak issue but has received no response. She is
concerned about the premises becoming unsafe to live in. It has been 14
days since she emailed him her notification.
What are all of Ayan's options if Jorge declines to do the repairs?
Please discuss all remedies Ayan may seek. Please remember to reference
the lease (clause and section) and text (chapter and section) to support your
analysis.
Why are text references important?
Contract language does not exist in a vacuum.
It is written based on the law.
It is critical, therefore, to cite to the text and
the contract to support your analysis.
IRAC Writing- Required
Reading
In the business and legal communities we commonly approach discussing
problems in the IRAC writing style. You'll be taking this approach to the
Contract 1 assignment, so please read chapter 22 of Basic Legal Writing for
Paralegals by Hope Viner Samborn provided to you below, and use it to guide
your draft of the Contract 1 Assignment.

Actions
Issue
statements
are a short typically 1-2 sentence questions phrased as
yes or no response about what the problem is you are planning to discuss.
Your
rule statement
is a presenation of the rules that will be applied in the
situation to determine the outcome. Frequently we find these as case law,
the clauses of a contract, the rules of the UCC or administrative agency rules
and regulations that produce relevant rules to the problem we are
addressing. This can be a clear place to site both your textbook and your
contract clauses when drafting your Contract 1 and 2 responses.
Application
is where the apply the rules stated above to the specific facts of
the situation/ problem we are discussing. This is the bulk of the discussion
when writing with the IRAC method. This is typically multiple paragraphs
depending on how complex the rule is you are applying to this problem.
The
conclusion
is where you discuss the result of applying the rule to the
situation. What may the likely outcome be or what results did you find
through your application of the facts.
