You Be the Lawyer!

Complex subleasing agreements can sometimes lead to friction and disagreement. In this video example, a tenant returns home to find his landlord occupying the bed. What are the tenant’s rights in this situation? (Answer below)

Answer: Since the tenant had temporarily vacated the bed, the landlord may occupy it under the doctrine established in Finders Keepers v. Losers Weepers, 1927. (Thanks to law clerk Andrew Y.)

    Where’s Judge Judy when you need her?? This was too cute, and dad does have a point – you sleep in my bed so why can’t I sleep in yours?

    I object your honour, the dog is entitled to his bed and the owners bed under the precedent establish by the first Fido which state that what’s yours is mine and what mine is mine.

      Case dismissed.

      I love how the kid on the couch is just completely oblivious. Something tells me this is not the first time dad has done stuff like this.

        I too liked the oblivious child. “My family is so weird. Best to just ignore them.”

    There’s been a lot of very, very cute animals today.

    Not to be a nuffer (and I didn’t vote down — no one has, yet), but you shouldn’t tell a dog “no” when you don’t mean no. They just learn to ignore you when you really DO mean no. It’s a tremendous temptation — I’ve done it myself back when I was around dogs. They do something technically they should not do, but which is cute, and you are saying “no” and breaking up laughing at the same time, and finally let them do it. They learn that if they are persistent, no doesn’t mean no. This is worse than that. He’s provoking the behavior and saying no when he WANTS it to continue. What word does he use when this dog actually needs not to do something?
