1.Is the main question functional, clear, delineated, and feasible?

The main question has not addressed all of the issues:

● First, whether the tenant's behavior of causing damage to the landlord is a

factor for terminating the contract? In other words, is it a condition for the
landlord to evict the tenant?
● Second, the tenant's condition (mental illness) has not been addressed.

2.Are the sub-questions clear and logical providing the answer to the main
question?

*The sub-questions are clear and reasonable to answer the main question but
still lack some elements.

Question 1: What is the legal status of the landlord and tenant?

Explains the legal rights and obligations of both parties in a rental contract. This
helps to understand better the conditions that a landlord must meet in order to
evict a tenant.

Question 2: What are the options to negotiate termination clauses in case of

violation?

Considers the options that the parties can negotiate in the rental contract. This
helps to understand better how a landlord can protect themselves from tenants
who do not pay rent or damage property.

Question 3: What official procedures must be followed to evict a tenant?

*Describes the steps that a landlord must take to evict a tenant. This helps to
understand the eviction process and the barriers that a landlord must overcome.

-Additional questions: The sub-questions have not considered the factor of

"landlords in the Netherlands". This is a civil law system. Therefore, there may
be additional sub-questions as follows:
 ● What are the differences between government regulations on tenant
eviction in the Netherlands and the United States?
● Why are the regulations on tenant eviction in the Netherlands and the
United States different?
● Can the differences in the Dutch legal system make it easier for landlords
to evict tenants?

3. Does he/she have a reasonable justification for their choice?

According to the outline you provided, there is not yet a reasonable justification
for their choice.

- He/she hasn't placed this law in the cultural context of the two countries,
leading to different behaviors in the two nations.
- He/she has only mentioned the laws on paper in both countries, without
addressing the practical application of these laws.
- There is a comparison, but there is no analysis or critique of that
comparison.

4. Are there any other issues in this outline?

Does the overly protective legal system for tenants affect the rights of the
landlord?

Your friend is facing some difficulties with the structure of their comparative
article that they are working on with their group. They are not sure because
there are several requirements: the research question should be functional, clear,
described, and feasible. Moreover, everything should be justified. They are
asking you to review the outline about the eviction of tenants.

The possibility of a landlord evicting a tenant for non-payment (Netherlands vs.

the United States).
