EXTERMINATION DAMAGES Clause Samples
The EXTERMINATION DAMAGES clause defines the compensation or remedies available if a party suffers losses due to the need for extermination, typically relating to pest infestations in leased or managed properties. This clause outlines the circumstances under which extermination costs may be recovered, such as when an infestation is caused by a tenant's actions or negligence, and may specify the process for assessing and claiming such damages. Its core function is to allocate responsibility for pest control expenses, ensuring that the party at fault bears the financial burden and protecting the other party from unexpected costs.
EXTERMINATION DAMAGES. Tenant shall be responsible for the extermination and all related expenses for the removal of bedbugs and other pests if the Landlord, in Landlord’s sole discretion, determines that the presence of such bedbugs and/or other pests are due to the negligence of Tenant or that of Tenant’s family members, visitors or guests. All pest remediation expenses incurred by Landlord will be considered additional rent and must be paid to the Landlord with the next Rent payment due and owing. Additionally, Tenant shall comply with and agree to follow all instructions as provided by the Landlord’s pest control contractor. Failure to do so will result in a breach of this Apartment Lease.
