Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A survival clause is a clause in a lease agreement that allows the lease to continue even after the tenant has been evicted or moved out. In this case, since Ed signed a 10-year lease with a survival clause and was evicted after 2 years, he would be required to pay rent only for the period of time until the unit is re-let to another tenant. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
