Your Answer: Option(s)
Correct Answer: Option(s) D
Rationale
Constructive eviction occurs when a landlord's failure to maintain essential services, like heat, makes the premises uninhabitable, allowing the tenant to legally vacate without further rent obligation. Actual eviction (A) involves physically removing the tenant, which didn't happen here. Abandonment (B) is when a tenant leaves without cause, but here the tenant has a valid reason (no heat). Ejectment (C) is a legal action to recover property, not applicable to this tenant-landlord dispute.

Question 4
When buyers move into their new house, they see that the ceiling fan in the dining room is gone and bare wires are hanging from the hole. The ceiling fan was NOT mentioned in the offer to purchase. Did the sellers have the right to take the ceiling fan?
Your Answer: Option(s)
Correct Answer: Option(s) A
Rationale
A ceiling fan, being physically attached to the property, is a fixture and conveys with the house unless explicitly excluded in the contract. Choice B is incorrect because chattel refers to movable personal property, not something attached like a ceiling fan. Choices C and D are incorrect because fixtures are not personal property and their absence from the contract does not allow removal, as fixtures are assumed to stay.
