Question:
Gi Hwa Park entered into a lease with Landmark HHH, LLC, for space in the Plaza at Landmark, a shopping center. The lease required the landlord to keep the roof “in good repair.” In the space, Park opened a store—The Four Seasons—specializing in imported men’s clothing. Within a month, water began leaking intermittently through the roof, causing damage. Nearly eight years later, Landmark installed a new roof, but water continued to leak. On a night of record rainfall, The Four Seasons suffered substantial water damage, and Park was forced to close the store. Who is liable for the loss? Why? [Landmark HHH, LLC v. Gi Hwa Park, 277 Va. 50, 671 S.E.2d 143 (2009)]
