Case 1:

Lisa rents an apartment in an undesirable part of town. While others, such as her Aunt Deanna, find it unsuitable, Lisa seems fine with her living situation. She never experiences any problems with the neighbors, and the rent is cheap. One day during a phone call, Aunt Deanna tells her that she wants to gift her $10,000 for anything of her choosing. Lisa figures that this is her aunt's backhanded way of getting her to move, so she decides to search for a home. Upon finding a home, Lisa calls her Aunt Deanna and asks for the money. Deanna changes her mind and tells Lisa that she no longer wants to give her the money. Angrily, Lisa hangs up the phone and heads to the courthouse to sue her aunt for the $10,000.
