CONDITIONS OF PREMISES A. Within seven (7) days after you move-in, you are required to submit an online Room Condition Update to notify us in writing of any defects or damages in your assigned space (including common area, fixtures, appliances and furniture). Failure to do so will result in the assigned space being considered to be in a clean, safe and good working condition and you will be responsible for defects or damages that may have occurred before you moved in.
B. With the exception of the items emailed to you or that you have submitted through the online Room Condition Update, you accept your assigned space, the fixtures, appliances and furniture in their “AS-IS” condition, with any faults. With regard to your assigned space, and the fixtures, appliances and furniture within, we make no express warranties and disclaim any and all implied warranties (other than the warranty of habitability).
C. Excluding ordinary wear and tear from normal usage, you will be solely responsible to the Housing Office for damages to your assigned space and the furnishings provided in the assigned space. You are responsible for the cost of all repairs made necessary by you and/or your guest(s) or, as set forth below, any other person in violation of the License. This includes the negligent or careless use of your assigned space or any part of the residence hall, including, without limitation, damage from waste water stoppages caused by foreign or improper objects in lines serving the bathroom used by you, damages to furniture, appliances, doors, windows or screens, damage from windows or doors being left open and repairs or replacements to security devices necessitated by misuse or damage. You may be required to prepay for these repairs, or, if we decide to advance the funds for the repairs, you will be responsible for repaying us within ten (10) days. In addition, you could be charged for damages that may have been caused by other Residents if we cannot determine who did it, and you will be jointly and severally liable for all damages to other shared areas of the assigned space and any furnishings provided in those shared areas. If the party responsible for damages is identified, we may nonetheless determine, in our sole discretion, if you and other potentially responsible parties are allowed to renew for the next year. Your obligations to pay the charges described in this paragraph will continue after the end of this License.
D. Furnishings Removal. You assume full responsibility for items furnished by us and agree to return them to us at the end of the License Term in as good condition as when you receive them, reasonable wear and tear excepted. You will be responsible for returning all furniture to its original position prior to vacating your assigned space. You will not remove our furniture, fixtures, and/or furnishings from the assigned space for any purpose.
Alterations, Additions, and Improvements Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions or improvements which affect the structure of the Building or which decrease the square footage of the Building or which reduce the value of the Premises, in each case without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the above, and provided Tenant complies with all Legal Requirements in connection therewith, Tenant shall have the right at all times to make all other alterations, additions or improvements to the Building without Landlord’s prior written approval. Tenant shall not be required to restore any alterations or additions permitted under this paragraph to the Premises or remove improvements at the end of the Term. All alterations, additions and improvements permitted under this paragraph or consented to in writing by Landlord are referred to as “Permitted Alterations”. All alterations, additions or improvements made by Tenant which are permanently attached to and made part of the Premises shall become the property of Landlord at the expiration of the Term, except for signs, trade fixtures, furnishings, machinery and equipment used in or on the Premises and furnished by Tenant which Tenant may remove, provided Tenant repairs any damage to the Premises caused thereby (reasonable and ordinary wear and tear excepted). For federal income tax purposes, Tenant’s signs, trade fixtures and furnishings are defined herein as equipment. Tenant shall pay, when due, all claims for labor or materials furnished or alleged to have been furnished to or for Tenant for use in the Premises, which claims are or may be secured by any mechanics’ or materialmen’s lien against the Premises or any interest therein.
Maintenance, Alteration and Repair (a) Resident is responsible for and agrees to take good care of the premises, fixtures and all common areas. Resident may not remove any of Owner’s property and will not perform any repairs, upgrades, painting, wallpapering, electric changes or other alterations of the premises without prior written consent from Owner. Resident will be responsible for damage from waste stoppages caused by foreign or improper objects or improper use in lines serving bathrooms, damage to fixtures, appliances, doors, windows, screens, damage from water faucets left on or from doors left open, and repairs or replacements to alarm devices necessitated by misuse or damage by Resident and/or guests. Extraordinary appliances or furnishings such as satellite dishes, hot tubs, pool tables, water beds or high utility- consuming devices may not be installed or placed on the premises or anywhere at the Property without Owner’s prior written consent, in its sole discretion.
(b) In the case of a malfunction of any utilities or damage by fire, water or similar cause, or any water leak, suspected mold or microbial growth, electrical problem, broken glass, broken lock or any other condition that Resident reasonably believes poses a hazard to health and safety, Resident must promptly notify Owner in writing. Owner will act with reasonable time and diligence in making repairs and reconnections; Resident may not withhold or reduce payment of rent or other charges during such time. Maintenance and repair requested by Resident will generally be performed between 8am and 8pm, unless the work is considered an emergency, in which case work may take place at any time. Owner may temporarily disconnect equipment or utilities to avoid property damage and/or to perform repairs requiring such interruption, in Owner’s sole discretion. Owner will not be liable for any inconvenience, discomfort, disruption or interference with Resident use of the premises because of ongoing repairs, alterations or improvements to the Property or any apartment.
(c) Following move-in, Resident is responsible for providing and changing all light bulbs and batteries (for smoke detectors and remote controls) in the assigned apartment. A written maintenance report requesting assistance in changing these items may be submitted for maintenance staff assistance, with extra charges payable by Resident as applicable per Owner’s published rates. From time to time, maintenance staff may enter the assigned apartment with or without notice to inspect and change furnace filters and to provide pest control.
