options

  4. the student, because he was not aware of the original lease agreement.
  5. the new owner, because the student was not part of the original lease agreement.

  7. the tenant, because he was the one who originally agreed to pay the taxes.
  8. the student, because he did not contract with the tenant to pay the taxes on the property.
