Lara owns a cottage in Littledale which she rents out to holiday-makers.

On 1st March Lara enters into a contract with Jaxon for Jaxon to rent the cottage from 1st July to 15th July. Lara and Jaxon agree that Jaxon will pay 2,000, the entire amount being payable on 15th July.

On 1st April, Lara agrees with Theo for Theo to rent the cottage from 1st August to 15th August. Lara usually bans dogs from the cottage but on this occasion she agrees that Theo may bring his dog, Gnasher, onto the property and further that she will install a new kennel for Gnasher to use. Theo agrees to pay a total of 2,500 and pays 1,000 immediately with the balance of 1,500 falling due on 15th August.

On 1st June, Lara spends 300 on a kennel which she installs in the backyard of the cottage, ready for use by Gnasher in August.

On 1st July, Jaxon moves into the cottage for his fortnight's holiday. On 8th July, following several hours of torrential rain, the nearby River Little bursts its banks. The cottage is badly flooded bringing Jaxon's holiday to a premature end. The kennel is also washed away. It will be many months before the cottage can be used again.

Jaxon fails to pay the agreed 2,000 on 15th July and Theo has demanded the return of his 1,000.

Advise Lara as to her rights and liabilities relating to Jaxon and Theo.
