Common use of Damage and Liability Clause in Contracts

Damage and Liability. 12.1 When damage has occurred or is likely to occur in, on, or to the leased property, including damage or potential damage to pipes, cables, tubes, drains, sewerage, installations, and equipment, the tenant must promptly notify the landlord in writing. 12.2 If immediate damage is threatened or existing damage is likely to spread, the tenant must immediately report this to the landlord and is obliged to take suitable measures without delay to prevent and limit (further) damage to or in the leased property. This applies particularly when damage is caused or threatened due to weather conditions. 12.3 If the leased property is part of a shared building or a complex of houses, the provisions in Articles 12.1 and 12.2 also apply to the entire building or complex, especially regarding shared spaces and neighboring properties. Direct action by the tenant is only required in these cases when it is reasonably expected of them. 12.4 The landlord is not liable for damage and loss of enjoyment of the property suffered by the tenant and/or their household, or for damage to the tenant's and/or their household's property as a result of visible or invisible defects in the leased property unless the damage or loss of enjoyment is attributable to the landlord, or if the damage is caused by a defect that was present at the time of entering into the short stay rental agreement and that the landlord was aware of or should have been aware of. 12.5 The landlord is not liable for damage to the tenant or their household, or their property caused by storms, frost, lightning strikes, severe snowfall, floods, groundwater level rise or fall, natural disasters, nuclear reactions, armed conflicts, civil wars, uprisings, riots, acts of war, and other calamities. 12.6 The tenant is liable for damage to the leased property caused by their own failure to comply with an obligation under the short stay rental agreement that can be attributed to them. All damage, except for fire damage, is presumed to have arisen as a result of this. Under this clause, the term "tenant" also includes the tenant's household members and third parties present in the leased property. 12.7 The tenant is required to take out and maintain adequate household insurance on standard terms. For damage covered by the scope and coverage of an insurance policy taken out by the tenant, the tenant must first contact their insurer.
