Contractual Rent Dispute Resolution

Summary

Norton and Anthonys lease agreement involves a legally binding $20,000 monthly rent. An oral agreement to reduce rent lacks specificity, making it difficult to enforce. Anthony may claim $5,000 arrears for January. Norton should negotiate a written agreement to clarify terms and avoid future disputes. In a separate case, Juniors claim against Lee Perry for using a different car wash brand may be challenging due to the lack of mention in the written agreement, though verbal assurance could be a separate promise.
