Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 62 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“As a condition to moving into the apartment complex, tenants agreed to abide by the terms set forth in their lease as well as the rules and regulations promulgated by the management. One of the terms to which tenants agreed was that [the apartment complex], as lessor, reserved the right to bar persons from its property. Any tenant’s attempt to invite an individual onto the property who had already been barred by management would result in breach of the lease.... As a result, any attempt by tenants to invite [persons] onto the premises would be invalid.”
