**Docket Number:** 3086485
**Court:** [Insert Court Name]
**Date of Decision:** [Insert Date]
**Parties Involved:**
- **Plaintiff:** Bankier Apartments, LLC
- **Defendant:** Patel
**Background:**
The case of Bankier Apartments v. Patel involves a dispute between a landlord (Bankier Apartments) and a tenant (Patel). The landlord operates a residential apartment complex and seeks to recover unpaid rent and associated damages from Patel, who allegedly breached the lease agreement.
**Facts:**
Bankier Apartments entered into a lease agreement with Patel for a residential unit in their apartment complex. The lease specified monthly rent payments, due on the first of each month. Patel fell behind on these payments, leading Bankier Apartments to issue notices for overdue rent. Despite attempts to resolve the matter amicably, Patel failed to remit the outstanding payments, prompting Bankier Apartments to initiate legal action to recover the owed amounts.
**Legal Issues:**
1. Whether Patel defaulted on the lease agreement by failing to pay rent as stipulated.
2. The entitlement of Bankier Apartments to recover unpaid rent and damages associated with the lease breach.
**Court Proceedings:**
The case was heard in [Insert Court or Tribunal], where both parties presented their evidence and arguments. Bankier Apartments provided documentation of the lease agreement, records of rental payments received, and notices sent to Patel regarding the delinquency. Patel contested the claims, citing reasons for the non-payment and arguing for a reduced rental obligation due to alleged issues with the apartment's condition.
**Decision:**
The court ruled in favor of Bankier Apartments, finding Patel in breach of the lease agreement. The judge ordered Patel to pay the overdue rent along with any additional fees stipulated in the lease for late payment. The court noted that Patel’s defenses regarding the condition of the apartment did not sufficiently mitigate the obligation to pay rent.
**Conclusion:**
The ruling reinforced the enforceability of terms within lease agreements and emphasized the responsibilities of tenants to uphold their rental obligations. Bankier Apartments was granted a judgment for the unpaid rent and associated damages, illustrating the importance of compliance with lease terms for both landlords and tenants.
