Synopsis
In a dispute over misrepresented rental amounts in a property sale agreement, the landlord moved to dismiss the tenant's second amended complaint. The court clarified that misrepresentations about rental amounts did not constitute encumbrances, rejecting an expansive interpretation. With no relief available beyond the survival period in the sale agreement, the motion to dismiss was granted, establishing key legal points on encumbrances and res judicata.
