Write a summary based on this article: WASHINGTON — In the face of a storm of controversy and a slew of challengers, U.S. Rep. Blake Farenthold indicated Monday he's still running for re-election. This time around, it will likely be a lonely battle for the Corpus Christi Republican. "It's lonelier than it's been in past times, but he's not alone," said Farenthold's chief of staff, Bob Haueter, on Monday evening. Farenthold found himself at the center of the sexual harassment firestorm engulfing the U.S. Capitol on Dec. 1 when Politico reported that he had settled a sexual harassment lawsuit using 84,000 in taxpayer funds. The Texas Tribune thanks its sponsors. Become one. Farenthold fiercely denies the accusations, both in public and in private, and he quickly pledged to pay back the 84,000 involved in the settlement. The issue initially faded away in 2014 after the settlement and after the U.S. House Office of Congressional Ethics, an advisory arm of the House, recommended the member-driven U.S. House Ethics Committee dismiss the charges against Farenthold. The controversy continued to dog him after the U.S. House Ethics Committee announced recently that it would give the allegations a closer examination. Then on Friday, the Houston Chronicle reported that Farenthold and his entire congressional staff underwent sexual harassment training in 2016 after the he was accused of gender discrimination. And late Monday, The New York Times published fresh accounts culled from former staffers and legal documents describing Farenthold's office as a "hostile work environment, rife with sexual innuendo." All this sets the stage for the fight of Farenthold's career. Five Republicans have launched bids to unseat Farenthold in his 27th Congressional district, most prominently former Texas Water Development Board chairman Bech Bruun, who resigned from that post and filed to run as a Republican for the congressional seat Friday. Others include Michael Cloud, a member of the State Republican Executive Committee and former chairman of the Victoria County GOP. On the Democratic side, at least four Democrats have lined up for potential campaigns. The Texas Tribune thanks its sponsors. Become one. Democrats are candid about the seat being out of reach for them, meaning Farenthold’s biggest hurdle is in the GOP primary. The crowded field increases the odds of a runoff, and a rule of thumb in Texas politics is that it is near-impossible for an incumbent to survive the second round of a primary. Farenthold's political troubles come amid — and in large part due to — an environment of increased sensitivity to sexual misconduct in Washington, D.C. Two female Republican members from out of state, U.S. Reps. Mia Love of Utah and Barbara Comstock of Virginia, have called on Farenthold to not just retire but resign. Democrats last week purged two favorites from their ranks: U.S. Sen. Al Franken of Minnesota and U.S. Rep. John Conyers of Michigan announced their resignations. Franken did so in a highly reluctant matter, suggesting he was a sacrificial lamb to allow Democrats to attain the moral high ground on the issue of sexual harassment. Liberals then quickly made Farenthold the poster boy of alleged harassment, and they demanded he resign. Failing that, they urged GOP leadership to push him out. But leading Republicans — and Texas delegation members — remained silent. Democrats were quick to construe that as tacit approval of Farenthold's alleged behavior. In interviews with a dozen or so delegation insiders, they say it is a different story behind the scenes. Texas Republican members would prefer for Farenthold to step aside (he has until Tuesday to withdraw, but there are few signs he intends to do so). At the same time, there is little interest in publicly knifing him — that’s just not how things are done in the tight-knit delegation. Even so, if a new and credible allegation surfaces, Farenthold could see the political ground swiftly shift underneath him. The Texas Tribune thanks its sponsors. Become one. Most Texas Republican operatives predict his fundraising will dry up amid the bad publicity, and it’s unlikely GOP colleagues will rush to donate to his campaign, the common practice when a longtime incumbent is in political trouble. Despite all of those developments, Farenthold’s close advisers are sticking with him, and there is a clear sense of ire within his inner circle that the Office of Congressional Ethics' investigation and dismissal recommendation did not put the story to rest. A group of past and current employees circulated a letter defending Farenthold, describing him as having “always treated us fairly and with dignity and respect." And he has the support of a prominent figure in Texas state politics: pollster Chris Wilson. “We wouldn’t work for someone who has been demonstrated to abuse women,” Wilson said. “But an accusation, especially one that has already been investigated, doesn’t make him guilty.” “I sat down with the congressman, his wife and his staff and after learning more about the process undertaken by the Office of Congressional Ethics, I agree with the OCE’s findings that the charges were unfounded,” he added. “And I’m proud to be part of his re-election effort as I believe Farenthold to be an honorable man.” Cassandra Pollock and Patrick Svitek contributed to this report.

Farenthold acknowledges gender discrimination complaints by two more women 1 / 59 Back to Gallery WASHINGTON –Embattled Texas Republican Blake Farenthold, under fire in an ongoing sexual harassment probe, said Friday that he and his entire congressional staff underwent sensitivity and sexual harassment training last year after two female staffers complained of gender discrimination and "sexualized commentary" in his Capitol Hill office. The women's complaints in 2016 followed that of former spokeswoman Lauren Greene, who had recently settled a federal lawsuit that accused Farenthold of sexual harassment and of firing her in retaliation for her complaint. ICON OUT: Conyers resigns from Congress amid claims The new revelations, which Farenthold acknowledged to the Chronicle on Friday, bring to at least three the number of women who have complained of either sexual harassment, gender discrimination, or a hostile work environment in his office. Now Playing: Farenthold, a four-term congressman from Corpus Christi, has denied any wrongdoing in any of the cases, which come at a time when concerns about the treatment of women have exploded in Congress. Although Farenthold admitted no wrongdoing in Greene's case, he settled the lawsuit out of court in late 2015 for 84,000 - using taxpayer funds that he has recently said he will repay. Despite his pledge, Farenthold has begun to hear murmurs about stepping down, including from fellow Republican Mia Love of Utah. "This is about people taking responsibility for what they do and changing the culture in Washington," she said on CNN Thursday. Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland called for Farenthold's resignation Friday. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, the fourth-ranking Republican in the House of Representatives, also said on Fox News Friday that Farenthold should resign if an ethics investigation finds that sexual misconduct accusations against him have merit. Three other members of Congress have announced plans to quit this week in response to sexual harassment allegations: Democratic Rep. John Conyers of Michigan, Sen. Al Franken, a Minnesota Democrat, and Arizona Rep. Trent Franks, a Republican. Despite Farenthold's decision to pay the settlement with his own money, he still has maintained that he did nothing wrong and that Greene was fired for "poor performance." Greene's lawyer, meanwhile, said Friday that she has agreed for the first time to fully cooperate with the House Ethics Committee, which reopened an investigation this week into her 2014 complaint. Until now, Greene had sought to avoid working with the panel, saying she wanted to get on with her life after her 2015 confidential settlement with Farenthold. SCATHING: Internet goes wild with Sen. Al Franken resignation Citing new revelations, the Ethics Committee announced Thursday that it is extending its probe into Greene's original allegations, which have laid dormant in the two years since the independent Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) investigation. Farenthold has relied on the OCE's recommendation that the Ethics Committee drop Greene's case after investigators said in 2015 that they found no "substantial reason to believe" that the congressman had engaged in any wrongdoing. The Ethics Committee, however, has kept the case open, though not actively under investigation until now. "I don't believe the OCE's recommendation not to continue the case was a judgment on the ultimate merits of Ms. Greene's claims," said her Washington lawyer, Les Alderman. One proof of that, he added, is the Ethics panel's decision to take a fresh look at the case. After details of their 84,000 taxpayer-funded settlement came to light last week, both Farenthold and Greene have called for greater public transparency in their dispute. But Farenthold, 55, has since been hit with a new public account from another former spokeswoman, Elizabeth Peace, who left his office last March. Although Peace came to Farenthold's office after Greene had left, she provided a similar account of a hostile and sexualized work environment. Neither accused Farenthold of improper sexual contact. In her lawsuit, Greene, then 27, painted a picture of a socially awkward, hard-drinking, middle-aged man who reportedly had "sexual fantasies" and "wet dreams" about her. She also accused his chief of staff, Bob Haueter, of regularly belitting and humiliating her. Peace, a former television news anchor, told the Chronicle in an interview this week that even after Greene had left, Farenthold "allowed the hostility in his office to continue. He allowed us to work in a place that was just emotionally damaging, and that should never be allowed in any office." Peace, now 37, said that while Farenthold didn't sexually harass her directly, "his comments were inappropriate and his unwillingness to immediately take action to allow us to work in a safe environment is inappropriate." Incidents of abusive behavior were not uncommon, according to another woman, former college intern Olivia de la Peña, who worked in Farenthold's office in the fall of 2015. Peña, now 23, said she experienced no sexually inappropriate behavior in the office, but instead learned to navigate what she called the congressman's "anger issues." She said she once received an angry call from Farenthold about a travel mix-up that reduced her and the congressman's scheduler to tears. She said Farenthold later apologized. Asked about Peace's account, Farenthold's office provided a statement recounting that two unnamed women complained separately to the congressman sometime in 2016 about allegedly discriminatory treatment they received in the office, particularly from Haueter. According to Farenthold's office, the first woman brought forward her complaint of inappropriate behavior and gender-based treatment, saying Haueter treated her "differently." Then another woman came forward to report that the first woman had herself engaged in "inappropriate sexualized commentary in the workplace." The Chronicle has confirmed that the second woman was Peace. The other woman, reached by the Chronicle, declined to confirm her involvement, saying she had "nothing to add." In response to the complaints, Farenthold said he brought in an "independent investigative team" to address the two women's concerns. "The investigation resulted in the first complaining employee admitting that her problem with Mr. Haueter was based on a personality conflict, and not any gender bias," Farenthold's current communications director, Stacey Daniels, said in a statement. "With regard to the second complaint, the investigators did not find corroboration of the alleged sexualized comments attributed to the complaining employee," Daniels said. Daniels said that the outside investigators determined that "there was no evidence of gender bias, or inappropriate sexualized comments by office personnel." Despite that conclusion, she said Farenthold and the entire office staff took sensitivity and anti-harassment training to ensure "full compliance with office policy and the law." ||||| WASHINGTON — When Lauren Greene, a former communications director for Representative Blake Farenthold, sued him claiming sexual harassment, among her complaints was that he “disclosed that a female lobbyist had propositioned him for ‘a threesome.’” Mr. Farenthold, in legal documents, said that Ms. Greene had it wrong. The woman wasn’t a lobbyist, he said. As allegations of sexual misconduct rock Capitol Hill — three lawmakers announced their resignations last week alone — Mr. Farenthold, Republican of Texas, stands out as the survivor. He was sued over accusations of sexual harassment three years ago, paid out an 84,000 settlement, financed by taxpayers, and has an open Ethics Committee investigation into his behavior. Yet only a few Republicans have called for his resignation. A peek into the inner workings of his office reveals the kind of hostile work environment, rife with sexual innuendo, that prompted Representative Jackie Speier, Democrat of California, to call Congress “the worst” place for women to work. ||||| Summary:

answer:US Rep. Blake Farenthold is facing sexual harassment allegations and challenges from five Republicans as well as four Democrats in his bid for re-election in his 27th Congressional district. Despite the increased sensitivity to sexual misconduct in Washington, Farenthold has remained defiant and has pledged to pay back the 84,000 involved in the settlement of a sexual harassment lawsuit. The issue sources back to 2014 when the U.S. House Office of Congressional Ethics recommended the U.S. House Ethics Committee to dismiss the charges against Farenthold. However, the U.S. House Ethics Committee has recently announced that it would give the allegations a closer examination. If Farenthold survives this hurdle, he will still have to face numerous candidates looking to unseat him in the 27th Congressional district.

question:You are an AI assistant. You will be given a task. You must generate a detailed and long answer. Is it mandatory to stay for 11 months in a rented house if the rental agreement was made for 11 months? What are the disadvantages faced by the house owner when a rent agreement for a period of more than 11 months is made? Are these two questions paraphrases of each other?

answer:No, these two questions are not paraphrases of each other, as they address different aspects of a rental situation. The first question is about the obligations of a tenant who has signed an 11-month rental agreement, while the second question pertains to the potential disadvantages faced by the house owner if a rental agreement is made for a period longer than 11 months. Question 1: Is it mandatory to stay for 11 months in a rented house if the rental agreement was made for 11 months? Answer: It is not mandatory for a tenant to stay in a rented house for the entire duration of an 11-month rental agreement. However, the agreement serves as a legally binding contract between the landlord and the tenant that stipulates the terms of the tenancy, including the duration of the lease and the conditions for lease termination. While it is not mandatory to stay for the entire lease term, it is expected that both parties honor the agreement and its terms. In the event that a tenant wishes or needs to vacate the premises before the 11 months are up, proper communication with the landlord is essential. Tenants should review the lease terms and identify specific conditions that deal with early termination of the lease. Typically, there may be an early termination clause that may require the tenant to provide notice in advance or pay a termination fee, which could be equivalent to one or two months' rent. However, the specifics of notice period and termination fee may vary depending on the rental agreement. Question 2: What are the disadvantages faced by the house owner when a rent agreement for a period of more than 11 months is made? Answer: A rental agreement for a period of more than 11 months may impose certain disadvantages on the house owner, though these disadvantages may vary depending on the regulations and laws of the specific jurisdiction. Some potential disadvantages may include the following: 1. Legal and tax implications: In certain jurisdictions, rental agreements longer than 11 months are considered long-term leases and may have different legal, tax, and stamp duty obligations than short-term leases. This may involve extra paperwork and result in higher taxation. 2. Lower flexibility: A longer lease term can limit the landlord's flexibility in adjusting rent according to changing market conditions or their own financial needs. If the rental market is experiencing growth, it may be more difficult for the landlord to increase rents if they are locked into a long-term lease agreement. 3. Difficulty in evicting problematic tenants: If a lease term is longer than 11 months, the house owner may face more difficulties in evicting a problematic tenant. Long-term lease agreements may offer stronger legal protections for tenants, making it harder for landlords to resolve issues without resorting to time-consuming and costly court proceedings. 4. Reduced ability to sell or renovate: A long-term rental agreement may limit the house owner's ability to renovate, sell, or move back into the property if circumstances change. Longer leases can complicate the selling process, especially if potential buyers want vacant possession of the property. It is important to note that these disadvantages are not universal, as laws and regulations vary between jurisdictions. House owners should consult with local legal and real estate professionals to understand the implications of a specific rental agreement term in their area.
