On May 8, 2008, Mr. Pajie entered a twelve-month lease agreement with Foote Properties to rent an apartment at 4275 Foote Street, NE in the District for $1,450 per month. Paragraph 28 of the lease contained a provision purporting to commit Mr. Pajie to pay attorneys’ fees “[sjhould it become necessary for Landlord to employ an attorney to enforce any of the conditions or covenants hereof, including the collection of rentals.”1 Upon signing the lease, Mr. Pajie paid Foote Properties $2,980: $1,030 prorated rent for the remaining days in May 2008, $1,450 for the last month’s rent, and a $500 security deposit. Mr. Pajie moved out of the apartment ten months later, on March 7, 2009.
