Respuesta :
The doctor and the accountant are jointly and severally liable for the debt i.e. both parties are liable for the unpaid rent of $5,000. The doctor is liable because he entered into the sublease agreement and the accountant is liable because he agreed to pay the rent.
It means that landlord is able to choose to pursue either the doctor or the accountant for the full amount of the debt, or pursue both parties for a portion of the debt. The joint and several liability must ensures that the landlord is able to collect the full amount of the debt.
In this scenario, the doctor and the accountant entered into a lease agreement, which include a clause for prohibiting subleases. Despite the fact, the doctor subleased the property to a third party. The third party later on failed to pay the rent which resulted in the landlord taking action against the doctor and the accountant for the unpaid rent.
