[Costly Repairs] When Emilene Moved into Her New Office Space

Question 66

Multiple Choice

[Costly Repairs] When Emilene moved into her new office space, she noticed there was a hole in the wall with electrical wires exposed and the electricity in the unit was not working properly. She told her new landlord, Rodney, who told her it was her responsibility. She also noticed there were no sprinkler systems in the building, but she had them in her prior office and she knew they were required in her part of the city. However, Rodney told her that the building never had sprinklers and she could install them herself if she thought they were important. She also noticed that the hallway outside her office leading to the elevator had three stairs that were crumbling and very dangerous. When she told Rodney about the stairs in the hallway used by all of the tenants, he told her that she could have them fixed since they were on her floor.
