Carmen White signed a lease with Sienna Ridge Apartments in San Antonio, Texas.

The lease required White to reimburse Sienna Ridge for any damage to the apartment not caused by the landlord’s negligence or fault. After moving in, White received a new washer and dryer from her parents. She did not read the instruction manual before overloading the dryer with bedding, including an unwashed pillow, which started a fire. Sienna Ridge filed a claim for the resulting damage with Philadelphia Indemnity Insurance Company. Philadelphia paid the claim and filed a suit in a Texas state court against White, alleging that she had breached the lease by failing to reimburse Sienna Ridge for the damage. White argued that the lease was unenforceable for lack of consideration. Is White correct? Is it unethical for her to resist payment? Discuss.
