Facts: The owner of a shopping center replaced its roof in February 2006. Soon after, a tenant leased retail space in the center to operate her clothing store, but water began seeping in through leaks in the roof, and by June 2006 the entire store was flooded. As a result, much of the tenant's inventory was damaged.
After a brief and unsuccessful re-opening, the tenant's store closed permanently in November 2006. The tenant sued the owner for breach of its lease obligation to provide a serviceable roof.
