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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“ABANDONMENT: If the Resident abandons (fails to reside on a daily basis for over fourteen (14) days) the Premises, Resident appoints Management as Resident's agent to re-let the Premises. Management may, at its option, take possession of the Premises and re-let same without such action being deemed an acceptance of Resident's abandonment or a surrender of this Lease. Resident shall remain liable to pay the rent specified in this Lease and any costs of re-letting the Premises in addition to any remedies of the Management at law or in equity.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“This type of clause benefits both parties; the landlord is allowed to make the premises productive without waiving any rights against the former tenant, while the former tenant receives the benefit of new tenants reducing or eliminating any deficiency.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“When the re-letting clause is not mandatory, the burden of proof is on the abandoning tenant to show as a matter of defense that due diligence was not exercised, but the duty to mitigate damages still rests upon the landlord.”
