FACT SCENARIO/QUESTION SET #2:

Fact Scenario: Sisters Bianca and Jade co-own a large luxury single family residence in the Doheny

Estates area of Los Angeles, with their father, Mick. These three family members hold title to this

property as joint tenants with right of survivorship.

Bianca and Jade have embarked on a two-year charitable missionary commitment to the most remote

regions of Nepal ("No phone, no lights, no motor cars - not a single luxury"), leaving Mick in sole

possession of the Doheny Estates property.

Because Mick's lavish lifestyle has caused him to run short on cash, Mick has been renting out "his"

Doheny Estates property on a short-term basis through Internet rental services (such as AirBnB and

VRBO) during Bianca and Jade's long absence.

Intelligent and well-educated (a graduate of the prestigious London School of Economics), Mick has

profited handsomely - some $1,200,000 - by renting the property for short-term stays by celebrities,

for lavish parties, and for business events - all to the detriment of the property, which has suffered

damage/loss/theft to dwelling, landscaping, and furnishings amounting to $600,000.

Having completed their charity work, Bianca and Jade return to the Doheny Estates property, find

it in a rundown condition, and confront Mick - demanding payment of "their shares" of the rental

income he had collected, plus substantial money for rehabilitation of the property.

Question Set: (1) Does Mick have to share the rental income he collected from short-term rentals

of "his" Doheny Estates property with Bianca and/or Jade? If so, how much? If not, why not?

Answer fully by stating an amount of money and identifying the legal basis/explanation for your

conclusion.

(2) Does Mick owe any money for "rehabilitation" of the Doheny Estates property, based on the

damage and loss caused by the short-term rentals? If so, how much? If not, why not? Answer fully

by stating an amount of money and identifying the legal basis/explanation for your conclusion.
