RES exam question on Leasing of Private Property: A landlord of a Green Mark office building offers a prospective tenant a 'green lease'
A landlord of a Green Mark office building offers a prospective tenant a 'green lease'. Consider: (i) a green lease incorporates obligations and/or aspirational targets on environmental sustainability — energy efficiency, water conservation, and sharing of utility-consumption data (ii) a green lease automatically and legally guarantees a specific reduction in the building's carbon emissions over the term. (iii) it may oblige the landlord to share the building's energy and water consumption data with the tenant regularly (iv) it may require the tenant to fit out using materials meeting specified sustainability standards; Which statements are CORRECT?
- A(i), (ii) and (iii) only
- B(i), (iii) and (iv) only
- C(ii), (iii) and (iv) only
- D(i), (ii), (iii) and (iv)
Show answer & explanation
Answer
B. (i), (iii) and (iv) only
Explanation
(i), (iii) and (iv) describe genuine green-lease features.
Why the other options are wrong
- (ii) is wrong — a green lease sets obligations/targets but does not itself legally guarantee a fixed emissions cut, so only (i), (iii) and (iv) hold.
