Common use of Needed Repairs Clause in Contracts

Needed Repairs. You agree to immediately notify us of any needed physical repairs, defects, damages, dangerous conditions, or malfunctions of any part of the Property, appliances, fixtures, or plumbing problems. If you don’t notify us, then you may be responsible for subsequent damages caused by these problems. For example, if the toilet starts to leak and you don’t report the leak, then the continuing leak may cause the bathroom floor to rot. If you had promptly reported the original leak, it could have been simply and inexpensively repaired. However, by not reporting the leak immediately, you allowed, by your negligence, substantial and expensive damage to occur for which you may be held responsible. From time-to-time, things break: The AC stops working, the refrigerator stops cooling, the dryer stops drying, the Internet looses its connection, etc. It’s not necessarily our fault or yours, it just happens. When things go wrong, and they typically happen at the most inconvenient time, we will make every effort to get the problem corrected as soon as practically possible. However, in no instance is the Property Owner, or Charlottesville Apartments, LLC, liable for any loss, injury, inconvenience, or discomfort that you may suffer or incur due to the loss of functionality of any equipment or connection in your Residence. It’s possible that renter’s insurance may cover food spoilage from a failed refrigerator; check with your agent. While these issues don’t happen often, they do happen. You agree to be a quiet, considerate, and tidy neighbor. Good neighbors make a good neighborhood. You also agree not to exceed four times the leased occupancy with guests, whether or not you know them (“I didn’t know them”, is not an excuse). Excessively large parties tend to get out of control, cause damage, and create excessive noise for neighbors. The City of Charlottesville has a Noise Ordinance that prohibits late night parties or gatherings that disturb your neighbors. Accordingly, you and your guests must respect your neighbors’ right to a certain amount of peace and quiet and must conduct yourselves in a manner that will not disturb their peaceful enjoyment of their neighborhood or apartment. Therefore, you will be in violation of this Lease if you, or any of your guests, do anything that disturbs the peace and quiet of the neighborhood or of the adjoining Residences. This activity may be singing, loud talking, playing an amplified musical instrument, etc. Anything that creates a noise level that is found to be disturbing to others may, at our discretion, be required to be removed from the Property immediately. If you live in an apartment you may not use a subwoofer for your TV or music system. Bass notes are almost impossible to isolate. It may be fun for you, but it is not fun for the people living around you. If you must have deep bass and loud music, use a good pair of earphones. Similarly, you may not play or practice with an amplified or loud musical instrument such as an electric guitar, a drum set, horn, etc., because they produce too much volume for an apartment building. If we have to visit your Property to control noise or guest density between the hours of 7:00 P.M. and 7:00 A.M. you will be charged $100, of which $50 will be donated to the local Neighborhood Association. Lastly, neither you nor your guests may do anything objectionable or improper that annoys your neighbors. You may not do anything unlawful or conduct any profit-oriented business on the Property. These activities are a violation of this Lease and may be grounds for eviction.
