MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS, OR ALTERATIONS The Tenant shall, at their own expense and at all times, maintain premises in a clean and sanitary manner, and shall surrender the same at termination hereof, in as good condition as received, normal wear and tear excepted. The Tenant may not make any alterations to the leased premises without the consent in writing of the Landlord. The Landlord shall be responsible for repairs to the interior and exterior of the building. If the Premises includes a washer, dryer, freezer, dehumidifier unit and/or air conditioning unit, the Landlord makes no warranty as to the repair or replacement of units if one or all shall fail to operate. The Landlord will place fresh batteries in all battery-operated smoke detectors when the Tenant moves into the premises. After the initial placement of the fresh batteries it is the responsibility of the Tenant to replace batteries when needed. A monthly "cursory" inspection may be required for all fire extinguishers to make sure they are fully charged.
Alterations Tenant shall not permit alterations in or to the Leased Premises unless and until the plans have been approved by Landlord in writing, which approval as to interior non-structural alterations shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right without Landlord's consent, and in compliance with all other provisions of this Section, to make any non-structural alterations to the Leased Premises which do not materially impact the Building's mechanical or electrical systems, do not adversely affect the Building's appearance or value, and the cost of which does not exceed Forty Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($45,000.00) in the aggregate, provided that Tenant gives Landlord fifteen (15) days prior written notice of any such alterations, along with copies of plans and specifications relating thereto. As a condition of such approval (or, with respect to any alterations permitted to be made by Tenant hereunder without Landlord's approval), Landlord hereby agrees that, upon written request by Tenant, at the time that Tenant is contemplating alterations, Landlord will inform Tenant as to whether such proposed alterations will be required to be removed by Tenant and restore the Leased Premises at the end of the Lease Term; otherwise, all such alterations shall at Landlord's option become a part of the realty and the property of Landlord, and shall not be removed by Tenant. Tenant shall ensure that all alterations shall be made in accordance with all applicable laws, regulations and building codes, in a good and workmanlike manner and of quality equal to or better than the original construction of the Building. No person shall be entitled to any lien derived through or under Tenant for any labor or material furnished to the Leased Premises, and nothing in this Lease shall be construed to constitute a consent by Landlord to the creation of any lien. If any lien is filed against the Leased Premises for work claimed to have been done for or material claimed to have been furnished to Tenant, Tenant shall cause such lien to be discharged of record within thirty (30) days after filing. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord from all costs, losses, expenses and attorneys' fees in connection with any construction or alteration under this Section 7.03, not performed by Landlord or an affiliate, and any related lien.
