      PROPERTY 2D: LANDLORD AND TENANT



            PART  I. CREATION OF THE LANDLORD-TENANT RELATIONSHIP

    CHAPTER 1. NATURE AND DURATION OF LANDLORD-TENANT RELATIONSHIP

§ 1.2 Requirement That Right to Possession Be Transferred

Minn.2020.  Quot. in sup., cit. in case quot. in sup. Mining company sued county, alleging that the
revision of county's ordinances to prohibit industrial mineral operations was an unconstitutional taking
of its property interests in five leases entitling it to mine silica sand and process it for use as frac sand
on properties in the county. The trial court granted summary judgment for county, and the court of
appeals affirmed. Affirming, this court held that mining company's interest in the right to mine frac sand
under the leases was inchoate under Minnesota law, and thus could not sustain a takings claim. The
court pointed out that the leases contained reservations clauses providing that mining company had no
right to use or possess the land until it was able to engage in silica-sand mining, and explained that,
under Restatement Second of Property: Landlord & Tenant § 1.2, a transfer of possession and control
was required in order for a leasehold interest to arise. Minnesota Sands, LLC v. County of Winona, 940
N.W.2d  183, 203.

Va.App.2019.  Cit. in sup. Defendant was charged with, among other things, statutory burglary in
connection with an incident in which she kicked in the door of a mobile home where a man with whom
she was romantically involved resided and became involved in a physical altercation with another
woman  in the home. After a non-jury trial, the trial court denied defendant's motion to strike, in which
she argued that she could not be guilty of statutory burglary because she lived in the home, and
convicted defendant. Affirming, this court held that the evidence was sufficient to show that the home,
which was owned  by the man's roommate, was the dwelling of another, because defendant did not
own or lease any portion of the home or have any right to occupy it under Restatement of Property § 7
or Restatement Second of Property: Landlord & Tenant § 1.2. While defendant kept some personal
items at the home, assisted in paying utility bills, and had a key to the home, the evidence showed that
she had her own residence, that she only spent certain evenings with the man at the home, and that she
only had permission to be at the home when specifically invited. Pooler v. Commonwealth, 834 S.E.2d
530, 534.

§ 1.8 Tenancy Not to Commence   Until Occurrence of an Event

Minn.2020.  Cit. in ftn.; com. (a) quot. in ftn. Mining company sued county, alleging that the revision of
