The landlord did not fare better at trial. On the second day of trial, the court dismissed the landlord’s claim that the tenant had denied him access to the property for inspection purposes, after the tenant had complained that several items needed repair. After hearing testimony from the landlord, the court ruled that he had never actually “requested” permission to access the property, as required by the lease. Accordingly, the court granted the tenant’s motion for a directed verdict on that claimed breach. Thus, the only issue the jury considered was whether the tenant had denied potential purchasers access to the property during the time period encompassed by the notice. As noted earlier, the jury returned a verdict in the tenant’s favor.
