Question 1:A car left in a parking garage is damaged and the attendant disclaims responsibility. While in theory the owner of the car (the bailor) would seem to have the law on his or her side, how can the car owner prove the claim? In practice, will the owner be able to collect for the damages? Why or Why not?

Question 2:A renter of a power tool, ignoring safety warnings, injures himself. The renter later denies that he ahd seen or read the warnings. The company renting the tool denies any knowledge of the defects in the power tool despite being aware of the defects. Who should bear responsibility for the injury? Is one party behaving more unethically than the other? Why or why not?

Question 1:Most residential leases prohibit the premises being used for business purposes. Would activities such as writing, dressmaking, or accounting be sufficient reasons for eviction? Why or why not?

Question 2:Are tenants justified in withholding rent on the grounds that another tenant's behavior has interfered with their right to quiet enjoyment? Why or why not?
