ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS: Tenant agrees not to make any improvements
or alterations to the Premises without prior written consent of the Landlord. If any
alterations, improvement or changes are made to or built on or around the Premises,
with the exception of fixtures and personal property that can be removed without
damage to the Premises, they shall become the property of Landlord and shall remain
at the expiration of the Lease, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
DAMAGE TO PREMISES: If the Premises or part of the Premises are damaged or
destroyed by fire or other casualty not due to Tenant’s negligence, the rent will be
abated during the time that the Premises are uninhabitable. If Landlord decides not to
repair or rebuild the Premises, then this Lease shall terminate and the rent shall be
prorated up to the time of the damage. Any unearned rent paid in advance shall be
refunded to Tenant.
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR: Tenant will, at Tenant’s sole expense, keep and
maintain the Premises in good, clean and sanitary condition and repair during the term
of this Lease and any renewal thereof. Tenant shall be responsible to make all repairs
to the Premises, fixtures, appliances and equipment therein that may have been
damaged by Tenant’s misuse, waste or neglect, or that of the Tenant’s family, agents or
visitors. Tenant agrees that no painting will be done on or about the Premises without
the prior written consent of Landlord. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of any
damage, defect or destruction of the Premises or in the event of the failure of any of the
appliances or equipment. Landlord will use its best efforts to repair or replace any such
damaged or defective areas, appliances or equipment.
RIGHT OF INSPECTION: Tenant agrees to make the Premises available to Landlord or
Landlord’s agents for the purposes of inspection, making repairs or improvements, or to
supply agreed services or show the premises to prospective buyers or tenants, or in
case of emergency. Except in case of emergency, Landlord shall give Tenant
reasonable notice of intent to enter. For these purposes, the minimum statutory notice
allowed or twenty-four (24) hours, whichever is less, shall be deemed reasonable.
Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent, add, alter or re-key any locks
to the Premises. At all times Landlord shall be provided with a key or keys capable of
unlocking all such locks and gaining entry. Tenant further agrees to notify Landlord in
writing if Tenant installs any burglar alarm system, including instructions on how to
disarm it in case of emergency entry.
ABANDONMENT: If Tenant abandons the Premises of any personal property during
the term of this Lease, Landlord may, at their option, enter the Premises by any legal
means without liability to Tenant and may at Landlord’s option terminate the Lease.
Abandonment is defined as absence of the Tenant from the Premises for at least ____
consecutive days without notice to Landlord. If Tenant abandons the Premises while the
rent is outstanding for more than 15 days and there is not reasonable evidence, other
than the presence of the Tenants’ personal property, that the Tenant is occupying the
unit, Landlord may at Landlord’s option terminate this Lease Agreement and regain
possession in the manner prescribed by law. Landlord will dispose of all abandoned
personal property on the Premises in any manner allowed by law.
