Green contracted in a signed writing to sell Greenacre, a 500-acre tract of farmland, to Farmer. The contract provided for exchange of the deed and purchase price of $500,000 in cash on January 15. Possession was to be given to Farmer on the same date. On January 15, Green notified Farmer that because the tenant on Greenacre wrongfully refused to quit the premises until January 30, Green would be unable to deliver possession of Greenacre until then, but he assured Farmer that he would tender the deed and possession on that date. When Green tendered the deed and possession on January 30, Farmer refused to accept either, and refused to pay the $500,000. Throughout the month of January, the market value of Greenacre was $510,000, and its fair monthly rental value was $5,000. Will Green probably succeed in an action against Farmer for specific performance? 
Yes, because the court will excuse the delay in tender on the ground that there was a temporary impossibility caused by the tenant's holding over.  Yes, because time is ordinarily not of the essence in a land-sale contract.  No, because Green breached by failing to tender the deed and possession on January 15.  No, because Green's remedy at law for monetary relief is adequate.
