An MPT asks you to advise whether a tenant can recover relocation expenses after a landlord shut off heat. The File includes the tenant's detailed interview, a repair invoice, a city inspector's notice, three rent receipts, and a landlord email stating, "I turned off heat because she was two months behind." The File also shows that the tenant waited 21 days before moving to a hotel, even though the statute in the Library requires relocation expenses to be "reasonable and promptly incurred."
A student plans to use only the landlord's email and inspector's notice because those facts support liability. The student intends to ignore the 21-day delay because it weakens damages and "the client did not ask about that."
How should the student use the File facts? Discuss material fact selection, unfavorable facts, missing or uncertain facts, and organizing facts around the Library's liability and damages standards.
