Let's say that you and the owner of a home have a valid contract to which you mow the owner's property weekly on Wednesday until October 1. You are paid $100 for each time you mow the lawn.

Address the following scenarios and argue whether or not you (as if you were not the person being sued) have breached the contract. When necessary, address the severity of the breach (whether material or not), any potential defenses, duty to mitigate by the owner, any other relevant areas of the law, and if in breach, an appropriate amount of damages or the appropriate type of remedy.

1. Due to an unexpected rainstorm that dropped two inches of rain in the area:

a. You wait until Friday to mow the lawn instead of the agreed upon Wednesday

b. You mow on Wednesday as scheduled in the rain, leaving deep track marks in the lawn from the mower wheels sinking in the wet grass.

2. You skip a week due to mower repairs. The owner does not have anyone mow in place of your services that week.

3. The date is Wednesday, October 1.

a. You mow on October 1. The owner refuses to pay (this is a question of breach by owner)

b. You do not mow on October 1. The owner hires someone to mow on October 3 for $200.
