On August 1, 1980 Mobil Oil Credit Corporation (referred to as Mobil or the tenant) entered into a ten-year lease on an entire eight story office building, the lower three floors of which comprise a parking garage. The building is the Centennial Building located in downtown Kansas City. Mobil has used the premises as its national credit card center. In December, 1980 Mobil notified the then landlord and owner the concrete in the garage facility was cracking and spalling. Spalling basically occurs when the steel reinforcing bars over which the concrete is laid, become rusted by water and salt and expand, causing the concrete to pop or spall off the bars. Pursuant to an oral agreement, and so as to maintain a good landlord-tenant relationship, Mobil paid one-half of the $14,625.00 in repairs, although the landlord never claimed Mobil was responsible for the repairs under the terms of the lease.
