This Is A Hypothetical Assignment In Which You Are Pretending To Be Na

This is a hypothetical assignment in which you are pretending to be Napoleon Dynamite. After moving into an apartment, which you and your best friend Pedro are renting pursuant to a lease agreement, you realize that there are some problems with the apartment. As such, you call your landlord, Mr. Yunioshi, to complain about the problems, and he assures you that he is sending someone up to fix them. However, a month goes by and no one has shown up to fix the issues, so you decide to write Mr. Yunioshi a legal complaint letter. The assignment is to draft Napoleon’s letter to Mr. Yunioshi.

In your letter, I would like you to: (1) Begin with a brief, general and professional introductory paragraph (e.g., Hello, this is Napoleon Dynamite, and I write to complain about some problems with my apartment...) (2) Reference your prior telephone conversation with Mr. Yunioshi (which is transcribed in the aforementioned attachment). (3) Specify exactly what you want repaired. (4) Reference the relevant portions of the applicable lease agreement (linked in your assignment e-mail and on Moodle). (5) Reference the governing warranty of habitability law (linked in your assignment email and on Moodle). (6) Tell Mr. Yunioshi how he can contact you. You should use a professional and courteous tone and avoid being too contentious and adversarial.

Note that the applicable lease agreement is extremely landlord-friendly. You may find it challenging to identify lease provisions supporting your argument; therefore, you are encouraged to creatively interpret lease provisions to support a pro-tenant position. Do not hesitate to ask questions if you need clarification or assistance.
