      PROPERTY 2D: LANDLORD AND TENANT





Generally

E.D.Ark.2016. Cit. generally in sup. In a declaratory-judgment action brought by lessors of a mining
lease against lessee, this court granted summary judgment for lessee, holding that a habendum clause in
the lease established that the lease was terminable on the occurrence of an event, and, even though the
event was wholly within the control of lessee, did not render the lease terminable at will by lessors. The
court relied on Restatement Second of Property: Landlord and Tenant in determining that the lease
created an estate for years terminable thereafter on the occurrence of an event fully within the control of
lessee. Roberts v. Unimin Corporation, 214 F.Supp.3d 743, 745, 747.



            PART  I. CREATION OF THE LANDLORD-TENANT RELATIONSHIP

    CHAPTER 1. NATURE AND DURATION OF LANDLORD-TENANT RELATIONSHIP

§ 1.2 Requirement That Right to Possession Be Transferred

Kan.App.2017.  Quot. in sup. Tenant who rented pastureland from landlord sued landlord, claiming that
she was entitled to damages because landlord allowed his neighbor's horses to graze on the land and
denied her access to the land for several months; landlord counterclaimed for unpaid rent. After a bench
trial, the trial court found in favor of landlord, reasoning that, because tenant had not paid rent, landlord
was required to mitigate his damages under Kansas law. Reversing and remanding, this court held that
the trial court erroneously concluded that landlord had a duty to mitigate without considering whether
tenant had abandoned the lease. The court reasoned, in part, that imposing a duty to mitigate damages in
the absence of abandonment would allow a landlord to interfere with a tenant's exclusive right to
possession of the rented property described in Restatement Second of Property: Landlord and Tenant §
1.2. Miller v. Burnett, 397 P.3d 448, 452.

§ 1.5 Periodic Tenancy

Ind.App.2017. Cit. in sup.; com. (f) and illus. 5 and 6 quot. in sup. Residential landlord filed a pro se
complaint against tenant in small claims court, seeking immediate possession of the rental property and
rent due under the lease. After conducting an informal hearing-in which no one was sworn in to testify
and no exhibits were entered into evidence-the trial court granted landlord's request for eviction. This
court dismissed without prejudice and remanded for the trial court to conduct a proper, if informal,
evidentiary hearing on landlord's complaint, holding that questions of fact remained as to whether
tenant's one-year lease had been converted into a month-to-month lease, such that landlord was required
to have provided tenant with notice of intent to terminate the lease. The court noted that, under
Restatement Second of Property: Landlord and Tenant § 1.5, notice of termination of a month-to-month
