       PROPERTY 2D: LANDLORD AND TENANT





                      PART   IV. LANDLORD'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

   CHAPTER 12. TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS THAT INHERE IN THE LANDLORD-TENANT
                                        RELATIONSHIP

  § 12.2 Tenant's Rights and Obligations As to Changes in the Physical Condition of the Leased
  Property

  Vt.2016. Subsec. (2) cit. in sup.; coms. (d), (g), (h), and (i) cit. in sup.; illus. 5 and 20 cit. in sup.; Rtpr's
  Note 10 cit. in sup. Lessor under a multi-year ground lease of property next to a lake sued lessee,
  seeking to void the lease and reenter the premises on the ground that lessee had violated its lease
  obligations by failing to maintain the embankments abutting the lake to protect them from erosion. After
  a bench trial, the trial court found in favor of lessor, but declined to terminate the lease. Reversing in
  part, this court held that lessor was entitled to terminate the lease as a matter of law in light of, among
  other things, the trial court's findings that the erosion of the embankments went beyond ordinary wear
  and tear and constituted waste. The court cited Restatement Second of Property: Landlord & Tenant §
  12.2 in noting that ordinary wear and tear was defined with reference to reasonable conduct by the lessee
  and that a lessee could be obligated to take affirmative steps to protect the leased property from damage
  inflicted by the elements or unrelated third parties. Mongeon Bay Properties, LLC v. Mallets Bay
  Homeowner's  Ass'n, 149 A.3d 940, 949, 950, 956.



                 CHAPTER 13.   NONPERFORMANCE OF TENANT'S PROMISE

  § 13.1 Nonperformance of Tenant's Promise-Remedies   Available

  Vt.2016. Cit. in sup.; com. (c) cit. in sup.; com. (k) and Rptr's Note 9 quot. in sup. Lessor under a multi-
  year ground lease of property next to a lake sued lessee, seeking to void the lease and reenter the
  premises on the ground that lessee had violated its lease obligations by failing to maintain the
  embankments  abutting the lake to protect them from erosion. After a bench trial, the trial court found in
  favor of lessor, but declined to terminate the lease. Reversing in part, this court held that lessor was
  entitled to terminate the lease as a matter of law, given the trial court's findings that lessee substantially
  defaulted under the lease and given that lessor timely and clearly asserted its election to terminate the
  lease under its terms. The court noted that, under Restatement Second of Property: Landlord and Tenant
  § 13.1, the election to terminate a lease belonged to the landlord, rather than the defaulting tenant or the
  trial court. Mongeon Bay Properties, LLC v. Mallets Bay Homeowner's Ass'n, 149 A.3d 940, 956.
