I’m reading the lease for the apartment I want to move into and I come across this clause:
Tenant is responsible for all plumbing repairs including faucets, leaks, stopped up pipes, frozen pipes, water damage, and bathroom caulking.
Surely this is illegal right? Like if I sign this lease I’m not gonna have to pay for water damage on a house I don’t own. I’m leaning towards not signing the lease but lmk if this is a slam dunk obvious example of an illegal clause that would get thrown out in court
Bring it up and try to get them to strike the clause, waste their time when they make a big stink about it, then find another place anyways because you don't want to be in any sort of contractual relationship with these people.
