Module 3 | Fact Pattern 3

17 year-old Nyla, has graduated high school a year early - she skipped second grade. She is now moving to the city to attend an urban college that does not have dorms. She finds a studio apartment in a two-family house and enters into an oral contract to rent the apartment for two years at a rent of $1,000 per month.

The landlord also wants her dad to guarantee her rent, which he does via a phone conversation. Nyla is upset about this because she believes that this constitutes illegal discrimination by the landlord against her based on her age.

She also joins a local gym so that she can keep up with her exercise regime. The gym is rather pricey. It charges $250 per month, but the price goes down to $150 per month if she signs a one-year contract. So that is exactly what she does!

She is also looking for a used e-bike. She noticed that her neighbor has one that is never used. She drops the following note beneath her neighbor's front door:

"Hi, I just moved in next door, and I pass your beautiful e-bike every day. I was wondering if you would be interested in selling it"

A few days later, she finds the following note beneath her door:

"I never thought of selling the bike until now, but, depending on the number, I would consider it. What did you have in mind?"

Nyla writes back:

"I was thinking about $150...."

Her neighbor writes back:

"I wouldn't consider selling it for less than $500 cash."

Nyla writes back 3 days later:

"I accept! I'll stop by this evening after 5:00 with the money."

That evening, Nyla rings her neighbor's doorbell holding an envelope with 5 crisp $100 bills. Her neighbor answers the door, but when she sees Nyla, she looks a bit embarrassed and says, "Ooh, it's you. So nice to meet you. I guess you are here about that bike. Sorry!!! Someone offered me $650 for the bike this afternoon, and I sold it."

That night, her landlord informs her that he decided that the rent for the apartment was just too low, and he is jacking up her rent to $1,500 per month.

Two months into her big city sojourn, all she wants to do is go back home. Plus, she hates her classes and her teachers. She tells her landlord that she is leaving. He shrugs and says, "It is a two-year lease, and I have your dad's guarantee. So do whatever you want, young lady." As she is packing up, she opens a monthly bill from her health club demanding the next month's membership fee.
