Explanation / Answer
Ans: D - landlord-tenant relationship;
I have selected this answer because based on the definition of landlord-tenant relationship according to property law, it states that when an owner of property for any reason be it exclusively or temporarily then such kind of relationship will be called as landlord and tenant relationship.
Ans: D – Pay Rent
Based on the excerpt of the video interview in the question above, tenant followed everything except for that of paying rent.
Ans: A – 30-Day; leasehold
It’s also true based on the California property law, 30-day notice is a must for tenants to vacate leased premises if there is any violation of agreement.
Ans: C - eviction; when the landlord paid approximately? $1,700 to entice the tenant couple to leave.
Based on the video excerpt, “Sandhu finally agreeing to pay $1,750.50 to get the pair to leave her own house, figuring it's less than a lengthy eviction process.”
Thus, it clearly is the option “C”.
Ans: E - It may change its policy to financially penalize anyone who overstays an Airbnb reservation.
Based on the excerpt from the video “Airbnb telling ABC News, we strongly encourage hosts to only book through airbnb. They may change policy to financially penalize anyone who overstays an Airbnb reservation”, option “E” overruled all the other options.
