NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND CHARGEABLE DAMAGE Sample Clauses

The "Normal Wear and Tear and Chargeable Damage" clause defines the distinction between acceptable deterioration of property due to ordinary use and damage that is the responsibility of the tenant or user. In practice, this clause clarifies that minor scuffs, fading, or other gradual changes expected from regular use are not considered damage, while issues like broken fixtures, stains, or holes caused by negligence or misuse are chargeable to the responsible party. Its core function is to allocate responsibility for repair costs fairly, preventing disputes by clearly outlining what is considered normal versus chargeable damage.
