§ 1494 Conditional Performance Offers

This law says that when someone makes an offer to do something, they can't add extra conditions that the other person must meet unless that person was already required to do it.

Key Takeaways

•An offer can't include conditions that the other party isn't already obligated to fulfill.
•The offer must be free of any extra demands that aren't already required.
•If a condition is added, it's not valid and can't be enforced.

Example

A landlord offers to repair a leaky roof for a tenant, but says the tenant must pay extra money for the repair.

The tenant isn't already required to pay extra for the repair, so the landlord can't attach that condition to the offer. The offer must be unconditional on the tenant's part.
