Outcome of a lawsuit for breach of a lease agreement.

Patricia rented an apartment to David for $500 per month. Patricia and David signed a one-year lease, to be effective beginning January 1st. After three months, David decided that he did not like the apartment. He gave Patricia a 30-day written notice, stating that he would vacate the rental unit at the end of the thirty days, which was April 30th. Upon receipt of David’s notice, Patricia made reasonable efforts to find a new tenant. Nevertheless, the apartment remained vacant from May 1st through June 30th. Patricia re-rented the apartment beginning July 1st for one year. Patricia sues David in small claims court. What is the likely outcome?

A.   Patricia is entitled to the balance of the lease, or           $4,000, because David did not have a valid                   reason to breach the contract.

B.   Patricia is entitled to nothing because David                  gave Patricia thirty-days written notice.

C.  Patricia is entitled to $1,000, because she tried to        find another tenant immediately upon learning of        David’s intent to breach the contract but was                unable to re-lease the apartment until July 1st.

D. Patricia is entitled to $500, which represents one-        month’s rent.
