Question 16
16. Soccoro owns and leases an apartment building where Rami is one of the tenants
under a two-year lease. The first year went by with no issue as Rami paid his rent
on time, if not earlier. However, when he lost his job after the pandemic, Rami
failed to pay his rent beginning the third month of the second year of the lease.
Soccoro repeatedly demanded payment from him but to no avail. Thus, she filed
a case for ejectment against Rami. When Rami received the summons, he locked
himself in the apartment unit. This infuriated Soccoro so much so that she
padlocked the apartment unit and cut off its utilities when Rami momentarily left
to go to the supermarket. What crime, if any, did Soccoro commit? Discuss.
