The Uniform Landlord-Tenant Act abandoned the "conveyance" aspect of landlord/tenant law as unsuitable for modern times in favor of "an interdependent, or contract, view of lease covenants." Id. at 386, 17 P.3d 641 (citing Uniform Landlord-Tenant Act § 1.102 cmt.). The purpose of the Uniform Landlord-Tenant Act was twofold: "`simplify, clarify, modernize and revise'" landlord and tenant law, and to "`encourage landlords to maintain and improve the quality of housing.'"[11]Id. (quoting Uniform Landlord-Tenant Act § 1.102) (emphasis added).
