Premises in Good Condition Clause Samples

The "Premises in Good Condition" clause establishes that the leased property must be in a satisfactory and usable state at the start of the lease term. Typically, this means the landlord is responsible for ensuring that all structural elements, systems (such as plumbing and electrical), and common areas are safe and functional when the tenant takes possession. This clause protects tenants by ensuring they are not immediately burdened with repairs or unsafe conditions, thereby allocating responsibility for the property's initial condition and preventing disputes over pre-existing issues.
