Related to Repairs and Maintenance; Utilities; Non-Liability of Landlord

• NON-LIABILITY OF LANDLORD Except in the event of negligence of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors, Landlord shall not be liable for any loss or damage for failure to furnish heat, air conditioning, electricity, elevator service, water, sprinkler system or janitorial service. Landlord shall not be liable for personal injury, death or any damage from any cause about the Premises or the Building except if caused by Landlord's gross negligence.

• Repairs and Maintenance It is the responsibility of the Tenant(s) to notify the Landlord immediately of any needed repair or unsafe condition existing around or in the Premises including but not limited to cracks in the foundation, cracks in plaster, moisture in walls and ceiling, buckling sheetrock or siding, or any leaks. If Xxxxxx(s) fails to immediately notify Landlord of visible problems, which result in damage to the unit, then Tenant(s) becomes liable for cost of resultant damage. All repairs necessary to maintain premises shall be done by or under the direction of the Landlord, at the Landlord’s expense, except those caused by negligence or acts of Tenant(s), Tenant’s agents, or invitees, which repairs shall be made at the sole cost of the Tenant(s). Such repairs shall be made to conform to the original condition of the Premises at the time the Tenant(s) took possession. Although the Landlord repairs normal wear and tear items, the adage “you broke it you pay to fix it” applies to the Tenant(s) and it applies during tenancy as well as at the end of tenancy. In addition, if a Tenant(s) calls for maintenance for which no such maintenance is needed (false call), Tenant(s) will be charged for the service call. Any repairs, including labor, material, and parts used, which are the responsibility of the Tenant(s), must be pre-approved in writing by the Landlord. Landlord shall be the sole judge as to what repairs are necessary. Landlord shall have no obligation to repair any defective condition, nor shall any defense or remedy be available to the Tenant(s), where the defective condition complained of was caused by the Tenant, Xxxxxx’s family, invitee, licensee, or other person acting under the control or direction of the Tenant(s), or where the Tenant unreasonably fails to notify the Landlord of the condition or allow the Landlord access to the Premises for purposes of the repair. Before exercising any of the remedies in accordance with the Landlord-Tenant Act, Tenant(s) must be current in rent. Tenant(s) shall be responsible for all broken glass. Tenant(s) shall not paint, re-wallpaper, or otherwise redecorate or make alterations to the Premises without the written consent of the Landlord. If written consent is given, such alterations shall be at the expense of the Tenant(s) and shall become part of the Premises and the Owner’s property upon termination of this Lease and tenancy. Tenant(s) shall not permit any act or thing deemed hazardous by Landlord due to potential risk of fire or which will increase the rate of insurance on said Premises. In case the Premises or surrounding areas shall be damaged by fire, rain, wind, or other cause beyond the control of the Landlord or the Tenant, then the Premises or surrounding areas shall be repaired within a reasonable time at the expense of the Landlord; and in case the damage is so extensive as to render the Premises unfit for human habitation, the rent shall cease until such time as the Premises will be put in repair. In case of total destruction, the rent shall be paid until the time of such destruction and from thenceforth this Lease Agreement shall cease and come to an end. In the event, the damage is caused by the act of the Tenant(s), or someone in or on the Premises by reason of Tenant’s permission or consent, there shall be no reduction of rent and Tenant(s) shall be liable for all costs of repair. Should Landlord notify Tenant(s) of intent to clean, replace carpets or paint the Premises, moving furniture and wall hangings shall be the duty and expense of the Tenant(s). Tenant(s) understands there will be no rent reductions, adjustments, or other compensation due to repairs or interruptions of service except as provided by law.

• Repair and Maintenance Except in the case of damage to or destruction of the Leased Premises, the Building, the Outside Areas or the Property caused by an act of God or other peril, in which case the provisions of Article 10 shall control, the parties shall have the following obligations and responsibilities with respect to the repair and maintenance of the Leased Premises, the Building, the Outside Areas, and the Property.

• Maintenance of Common Areas Landlord shall maintain the Common Areas in good order, condition and repair and shall operate the Project and Park, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, as a first-class industrial/commercial real property development.

Landlord may cause any or all of such services to be provided by third parties and the cost of such services shall be included in Common Area costs. Common Area costs shall not include depreciation of real property which forms part of the Common Areas. The parties acknowledge and agree that the costs for maintaining the emergency generator shall be divided pro-rata among the four buildings to which it is connected.

These costs shall be estimated on an annual basis by the Landlord and shall be adjusted upwards or downwards depending on the actual costs for the preceding twelve months. Tenant shall pay monthly, commencing with the first month of the Lease Term, as additional rent due under the terms hereof, a sum equal to Tenant's Prorata Share of the estimated costs for said twelve (12) month period, divided by 12. The estimated initial monthly costs are $ 1,040.00. Once each year the Landlord shall determine the actual costs of the foregoing expenses for the prior year and if the actual costs are greater than the estimated costs, the Tenant shall pay its Tenant's Prorata Share of the difference between the estimated costs and the actual costs to the Landlord with the next payment of Base Monthly Rent, or, if the actual costs are less than the estimated costs, the Landlord shall forthwith refund the amount of the Tenant's excess payment to the Tenant.

• TENANT'S INDEMNIFICATION OF LANDLORD Tenant shall indemnify, ------------------------------------ protect, defend and hold Landlord and Landlord's authorized representatives harmless from and against Claims arising from (a) the acts or omissions of Tenant or Tenant's Representatives or Visitors in or about the Property, or (b) any construction or other work undertaken by Tenant on the Premises (including any design defects), or (c) any breach or default under this Lease by Tenant, or (d) any loss, injury or damage, howsoever and by whomsoever caused, to any person or property, occurring in or about the Premises during the Term, excepting only Claims described in this clause (d) to the extent they are caused by the willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Landlord or its authorized representatives.

• Limitation of Landlord’s Liability The term “Landlord” as used in this Lease, so far as covenants or obligations to be performed by Landlord are concerned, shall be limited to mean and include only the owner or owners at the time in question of the Property, and in the event of any transfer or transfers of title to said property, the Landlord (and in case of any subsequent transfers or conveyances, the then grantor) shall be concurrently freed and relieved from and after the date of such transfer or conveyance, without any further instrument or agreement of all liability as respects the performance of any covenants or obligations on the part of the Landlord contained in this Lease thereafter to be performed, it being intended hereby that the covenants and obligations contained in this Lease on the part of Landlord, shall, subject as aforesaid, be binding on the Landlord, its successors and assigns, only during and in respect of their respective successive periods of ownership of said leasehold interest or fee, as the case may be. Tenant, its successors and assigns, shall not assert nor seek to enforce any claim for breach of this Lease against any of Landlord’s assets other than Landlord’s interest in the Property and in the rents, issues and profits thereof, and Tenant agrees to look solely to such interest for the satisfaction of any liability or claim against Landlord under this Lease, it being specifically agreed that in no event whatsoever shall Landlord (which term shall include, without limitation, any general or limited partner, trustees, beneficiaries, officers, directors, or stockholders of Landlord) ever be personally liable for any such liability.

• LIABILITY OF LANDLORD The word "LANDLORD" as used herein includes the Landlord named above as well as its successors and assigns, each of which shall have the same rights, remedies, powers, authorities and privileges as it would have had it originally signed this lease as Landlord. Any such person or entity, whether or not named herein, shall have no liability hereunder after it ceases to hold title to the Premises except for obligations already accrued (and, as to any unapplied portion of Tenant's Security Deposit, Landlord shall be relieved of all liability therefor upon transfer of such portion to its successor in interest) and Tenant shall look solely to Landlord's successor in interest for the performance of the covenants and obligations of the Landlord hereunder which thereafter shall accrue. Neither Landlord nor any principal of Landlord nor any owner of the Property, whether disclosed or undisclosed, shall have any personal liability with respect to any of the provisions of this lease or the Premises, and if Landlord is in breach or default with respect to Landlord's obligations under this lease or otherwise, Tenant shall look solely to the equity of Landlord in the Property for the satisfaction of Tenant's claims. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no mortgagee or ground lessor succeeding to the interest of Landlord hereunder (either in terms of ownership or possessory rights) shall be (a) liable for any previous act or omission of a prior landlord, (b) subject to any rental offsets or defenses against a prior landlord or (c) bound by any amendment of this lease made without its written consent, or by payment by Tenant of Minimum Annual Rent in advance in excess of one monthly installment.

• Construction and Maintenance There are on-going maintenance, renovation and construction projects taking place in and around the residences. The work typically takes place during regular business hours, but may begin earlier or extend into evenings or weekends. On-going construction or renovation projects will continue through midterm and final exam periods. The University will take measures to ensure that prudent construction practices are followed, but there may be noise, dust and temporary interruption of some services. Residents may be required to temporarily or permanently relocate to facilitate construction or renovation to their residence area. There will be no compensation or reduction to your residence fees due to disruption and/or relocation.
