Vern Shoepke bought a two-story home in of Roche, Maine. The 

warranty deed did not specify what covenants would be 

included in the conveyance. The property was adjacent to a 

public park that included a popular Frisbee golf course. 

(Frisbee golf is a sport similar to golf but using 

Frisbees.) Wayakichi Creek ran along the north end of the 

park and along Shoepke’s property as part of a two-mile 

public trail system. The deed allowed Roche citizens the 

right to walk across a five-foot-wide section of the lot 

beside Wayakichi Creek.

Teenagers regularly threw Frisbee golf discs from the 

walking path behind Shoepke’s property over his yard to the 

adjacent park. Shoepke habitually shouted and cursed at the 

teenagers, demanding that they not throw objects over his 

yard.

Two months after moving into his Roche home, Shoepke leased 

the second floor out to Lauren Slater for nine months. (The 

lease agreement did not specify that Shoepke’s consent would 

be required to sublease the second floor.) After three 

months of tenancy, Slater sublet the second floor to a local 

artist, Javier Indalecio. Over the remaining six months, 

Indalecio’s use of oil paints damaged the carpeting in 

Shoepke’s home. Using the information presented in the 

chapter, answer the following questions.

1. What is the term for the right of Roche citizens to walk 

across Shoepke’s land on the trail?

2. What covenants would most courts infer were included in 

the warranty deed that Shoepke received when he bought the 

home?

3. Can Shoepke hold Slater financially responsible for the 

damage to the carpeting caused by Indalecio? Explain.

4. Suppose that Slater—to offset her liability for the 

carpet damage caused by Indalecio—files a counterclaim 

against Shoepke for breach of the covenant of quiet 

enjoyment. Could the fact that teenagers continually throw 

Frisbees over Shoepke’s yard outside the second-floor 

windows arguably be a breach of the covenant of quiet 

enjoyment? Why or why not?
