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.

Analyze the scenario to determine whether a valid contract still exists between The Friendly Dawg and landlord Lou. 
Explain the elements of a valid contract, and identify which  contract elements, if any, exist between The Friendly Dawg and landlord  Lou.
Analyze the potential rights, claims, defenses, obligations, and remedies available to both landlord Lou and The Friendly Dawg in this scenario.
