Practice question
A tenant produces a later-dated assignment from a purported administrator of a rival estate. Authenticity and authority are unproved, and the rival estate’s asserted ownership predates the lease. He argues the later document necessarily establishes the subsequent-change exception. Which is correct under Laqui?
- The later date alone does not establish the genuine title change required
- Every later document conclusively establishes a conveyance by the landlord
- An administrator’s title is always unlimited without proof
- Older rival ownership becomes new whenever typed again
- Tenant estoppel is erased by any paper filed after the lease
