There are two parts for this Contract. We are looking for the ability to read and comprehend the contract so the appropriate contract clause can be applied to the questions connected with each contract. In order to answer the contract fact scenario, you will also need to be able to identify the legal concept that is applicable to the situation described. This is an analysis so please treat it as such. Your personal opinion is not appropriate.
There are correct answers for the prompt. If a student discusses a different legal theory for answering the prompt, partial points will be given. In cases of complete or partial answers, textbook references are mandatory to support the remedy proposed by the student. A textbook reference that has no bearing on the remedy or legal arguments will be counted as “no text”. For example, if any contract has an issue of risk of loss, referencing the text on contract formation will not meet the requirement. The sections of the textbook that you have read contain all the information you need for this analysis. You should only use Chapter 35.
Please remember to reference the applicable parts of the contract that you are using to answer the prompt.
A student will be given 6 points for the textbook reference, 6 points for the contract reference (the actual section), with 27 points for the analysis itself.
The remaining 6 points will be given as a spelling/grammar score. Following is the prompt.

It has been 14 days since he emailed her his notification. What are all of Sam’s options if Tamika declines to do the repairs?
Please discuss all remedies Sam may seek. Please remember to reference the lease and text to support your analysis.
