Practice question
A land demand letter grants only five days, but the lessor actually waits twenty days after proper demand before filing. No contrary stipulation or other defect exists. The tenant relies solely on the shorter period printed in the letter. What does Limbauan distinguish?
- The required time before commencing suit from the shorter period stated in the demand letter.
- Every short printed deadline necessarily defeats the case despite the actual wait.
- Only the letter's font determines timeliness.
- The court must ignore the actual filing date.
- The lessor must always wait twenty years.
