Competencies In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competencies: · Apply relevant aspects of law to current business situations · Differentiate between matters of law and matters of ethics in business situations Scenario The Friendly Dawg is a retail pet supply store owned by Dave Dawgs. Dave has worked in the store since high school and took over running the store after his father died two years ago. Originally the store sold only pet food and supplies, such as animal food, bird cages, water bowls, pet beds, and so forth. Upon taking ownership, Dave added fish tanks with fish for sale. Recently he built a kennel and cages in a former storage area in the rear of the store in order to sell live animals, such as snakes, birds, dogs, and cats. Landlord Lou came by during renovations and asked what was going on. One of Dave’s employees told Lou that The Friendly Dawg was expanding its inventory and needed the space. Landlord Lou told the employee, “Very exciting! Good luck!” A few weeks later, landlord Lou began receiving complaints from the neighboring tenant, the Sunshine Yoga studio, that the noise from the dogs and parrots was very disruptive. The signed lease between Dave Dawg’s deceased father and Lou describes the business as a pet supply store only and does not mention selling live animals. The lease specifies a rent in the amount of $500 a month. Sunshine Yoga does not have a written lease. The owner of Sunshine Yoga, Jasmine, met Lou one night in a bar two years ago where he verbally offered to rent her the space for $300 a month. Jasmine claims that landlord Lou told her that night that she could rent from him forever and that he would never evict her. Lou called Dave, asking him to quiet the animals. Dave said he would try, but the complaints from Jasmine continued. Dave also demanded that Lou improve the air-conditioning system, claiming it was too hot in the rear of the store for his animals and it was causing them to become agitated. Landlord Lou refused, claiming that air-conditioning was not meant to cool that area and it was not his job as landlord to take care of live animals. Dave stopped paying his rent, claiming that he was not obligated to do so because Lou was breaching his obligation under the lease to maintain the property in good repair. The next day, a dangerous snake escaped through the air vents and slithered into the neighboring yoga studio, frightening Jasmine, the owner, such that she had a heart attack. After recovering, Jasmine stopped paying her rent, claiming that the premises were unsafe due to the presence of wild animals. She also claimed that she has been very depressed and anxious as a result of the ongoing situation. And she contends that she has lost clients because of the noise coming from The Friendly Dawg. The Friendly Dawg has been a good tenant, enjoys a strong customer base, and pays more in rent than Sunshine Yoga. Sunshine Yoga has always been late with rent, and Jasmine constantly bothers Lou over minor issues. Directions Write two short papers—one on contract law and one on tort law.

1. Contract between landlord Lou & The Friendly Dawg
a. Valid Contract:
Four requirements are listed i
n the text that must be met for a contract to be judged enforceable (Kubasek, 2021). First, there must be a valid offer. Next, there must have been contemplation. Third, there must be contractual capability. Fourth, the legal object must not be illegal or contrary to public policy. The two parties reached an agreement when landlord Lou suggested to Dave's dad leasing a retail space. The desire to forge legally binding ties between the parties is another element, so that an offer as well as an acceptance signify a "meeting of the minds." Another requirement for a legal contract is consideration. Exchanges of valuable items or services must be agreed upon by the parties. For instance, The Friendly Dawg pays the owner Lou rent in return for the use of the premises it uses to run its pet food and supplies business. The parties must be able to act legally and understand what they are doing. The agreement's objectives must not be prohibited by law in order for it to be considered legally binding. Any agreement that lacks any of these is null and void (Kubasek, 2021). After giving the subject some thought, Dave decided to sign the lease after buying the Friendly Dawg from his father. There is a valid tenant and lease agreement between Dave and the landlord Lou.
b. Potential claims, obligations, defences, and remedies
Dave is permitted by law to operate...
