Daniel owns a rental property (house). At the front there are seven steps up to the front door. Abel, who uses a wheelchair, tells Daniel he would lease the property to live in if Daniel builds a ramp up to the front door, suitable for wheelchair use. Daniel orally agrees to this and a week later emails Abel saying that the building work will start the following day. Abel does not reply. The ramp is completed six days later at a cost to Daniel of $4,000. One week after that Abel tells Daniel he has decided not to lease the house. If Daniel wishes to obtain a court order that the agreement he had with Abel should be enforced (or he should be compensated for his spending on the ramp) his legal argument would be:

Select one:

a.

unsuccessful, because no consideration was paid by Daniel to Abel (ie, the $4,000 paid by Daniel went to the builder who installed the ramp) so no enforceable contract exists between Daniel and Abel

b.

that bels broken promise to lease the house is breach of warranty

c.

that installing a ramp for Abels use was a condition precedent

d.

that Abel should be estopped from not keeping his promise to lease the house if a ramp were installed
