Which right may allow the lessor to recover unpaid rent if possible?

• A. Right to re-entry
• B. Right to eviction
• C. Right to consideration
• D. Right to sequester

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is how a landlord can security and collect rent that hasn’t been paid. The right to sequester refers to obtaining a court-ordered mechanism to take rents and profits from the leased property so the unpaid rent can be satisfied. This directly targets the money owed and provides a financial remedy that can keep the landlord paid while the lease remains in force or until the arrears are cleared.

From that perspective, other options focus on getting back possession rather than securing the owed money. Re-entry is about regaining access to the property, which doesn’t automatically ensure the rent is paid. Eviction removes the tenant from the premises, again addressing possession rather than the debt. The idea of consideration isn’t a standard remedy for collecting unpaid rent. So the option involving sequestration best fits the goal of recovering the unpaid rent.
