Do emails supersede Landlord Tenant Leases?
No. At best, an email is comparable to correspondence sent in writing. I don't know if the courts recognize emails as comparable to a letter sent by mail. Regardless, a lease is a contract and one party cannot unilaterally alter that contract. They can send a notice or perhaps cancel the lease (or try to) but they can't simply change the lease unilaterally. Either consult legal advise or treat it as a letter received in the mail.

What happens when a contract is not performed?
When one party to a contract does not perform his duties they are in breach of contract and there are legal implications. Each party to a contract makes a promise to either perform a certain duty or pay a certain amount. If one party fails to act as promised, and the other party has fulfilled the duties under the contract, the other party is entitled to legal relief. When one party has breached the contract, the party who has performed is entitled to various remedies for the breach. * Consequential damages - This requires the breaching party to pay the non-breaching party an amount that puts the non-breaching party in the same position they would have been in if the contract was performed * Punitive damages - Courts can force the breaching party to make a payment as a punishment for the breach of contract * Liquidated damages - The parties agree, at the time they make the contract, that if one party breaches the contract, the breaching party should pay a specified sum. Thus, this is an amount written in the contract * Nominal damages - This is a minimal amount provided to the non-breaching party if that party won the case but did not financially lose much In certain situations, they can also get specific performance of the contract.
What happens in a contract when only one party makes a promise to do or not to do something?

If Only one party to an insurance contract has made a legally enforceable promise what kind of contract is it?
If only one party to an insurance contract has made a legally enforceable promise, it is considered a unilateral contract. In a unilateral contract, one party (usually the insurer) makes a promise in exchange for an act or performance by the other party (the insured), but the insured is not obligated to perform. The contract becomes binding only when the insured fulfills the required action, such as paying a premium or filing a claim.
Can a contract be voided if the date has been changed without knowledge?
Yes, a contract can potentially be voided if the date has been changed without the knowledge of one party, particularly if the change affects a material term of the agreement. A party that was unaware of the alteration may argue that they did not consent to the modified terms, which can undermine the contract's enforceability. However, the specific circumstances and the governing laws will dictate the outcome, so legal advice may be necessary to assess the situation accurately.
