Structure & Exterior Sample Clauses
The "Structure & Exterior" clause defines the responsibilities and obligations related to the maintenance, repair, and condition of a building's structural elements and external features. Typically, this clause specifies which party—often the landlord in a lease agreement—is responsible for keeping the roof, walls, foundations, windows, and other exterior components in good repair. For example, it may require the landlord to address structural defects or weather-related damage, while the tenant may be responsible for reporting issues promptly. The core function of this clause is to clearly allocate maintenance duties, prevent disputes over repair responsibilities, and ensure the building remains safe and functional throughout the agreement.
Structure & Exterior. The landlord must keep the structure of the building in good repair. This includes: • drains, gutters and outside pipes; • roof; • outside walls, doors, windowsills, window catches, sash cords, and window frames; • inside walls, floors, ceilings, doors, door frames, inside stair cases and landings; • chimneys, chimney stacks, and flues; • pathways, steps or other means of access; • plaster work; • boundary walls and fences. Sometimes the landlord might be responsible, along with owners of homes nearby, to keep certain common parts of a building or walls between two properties in good repair. Examples of this might be where the property is a flat in a tenement building. In that case the common parts would usually include items such as the roof, common doors, the staircase giving access to all flats and the back court area. The landlord would need to carry out repairs to these things - but this would be shared with the owners of all of the other flats within the tenement.
