      PROPERTY 2D LANDLORD AND TENANT



           PART   I. CREATION   OF THE  LANDLORD-TENANT RELATIONSHIP

    CHAPTER 1.   NATURE AND DURATION OF LANDLORD-TENANT RELATIONSHIP

§ 1.5 Periodic Tenancy

Ky.App.2022. Com.  (f) cit. in ftn. Landlords filed a forcible-detainer complaint against month-to-month
tenants who paid rent at the beginning of each month, alleging that tenants failed to vacate the property
within 30 days of receiving written notice from landlords. The trial court found tenants guilty of forcible
detainer. Reversing and remanding, this court held that landlords' notice was insufficient; while
landlords gave tenants notice on August 8, more than 30 days before they filed their complaint on
September 8, notice had to be given 30 days prior to the closest periodic rental date, which was
September 1. The court explained that the state's forcible-detainer statute and Restatement Second of
Property: Landlord & Tenant § 1.5 both required that the notice be provided not only 30 days in advance
but also wholly prior to a specified periodic rental date. Young v. House, 648 S.W.3d 706, 710.

§ 1.6 Tenancy at Will

E.D.N.C.2022. Cit. in sup. Tenants who lived in one unit of a duplex sued landlord, property manager,
broker, and landlord's nephew, who lived in the other unit, alleging that nephew racially harassed them
and that landlord, property manager, and broker were liable for his conduct under the Fair Housing Act
and state law. This court denied in part landlord's motion for summary judgment, holding that a genuine
issue of material fact existed concerning who knew what, and when, for purposes of determining
whether landlord knew or should have known of nephew's racial harassment, and whether property
manager and broker's knowledge could be imputed to landlord. The court cited Restatement Second of
Property: Landlord & Tenant § 1.6 in noting that, while nothing indicated that nephew worked for
landlord or was her agent, landlord could be directly liable for his conduct because she managed the unit
in which he lived and she had substantial control over him as her tenant. Harris v. Vanderburg, 584
F.Supp.3d 82, 95.
