Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If Rita abandons the premises before the lease expires, Studio Apartments may be required to mitigate its damages by making a reasonable effort to re-rent the apartment. This means that Studio cannot simply sit back and collect rent from Rita while leaving the apartment vacant. If they do not attempt to find a new tenant, they may not be able to recover the full amount of rent owed from Rita. However, Rita is still obligated to pay the rent for the remainder of the lease term, unless Studio is able to lease the apartment to a new tenant. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect.
