Common use of Fire and Other Casualty Clause in Contracts

Fire and Other Casualty. The Tenant is liable for the acts and neglect of the Tenant, the Tenant's pets, family members, guests, visitors and contractors (even if consented to by Landlord). The Tenant shall notify the Landlord at once if there is damage to the Apartment by fire, water, organic (e.g., mold) or other hazard. If the damage is caused by the Tenant's negligence or misconduct or that of the Tenant's pets, family members, guests, visitors or contractors (even if consented to by Landlord), the Tenant shall remain liable for the payment of the rent during the period the Apartment is being repaired. If the fire or other casualty is caused by the act or neglect of the Tenant or that of the Tenant's pets, family members, guests, visitors or contractors (if consented to by Landlord), the Tenant shall pay for repairs and all other damages. This includes the damage to the Apartment and fixtures installed by the Landlord as well as any loss of rent attributable to the fire or casualty originating in the Tenant's Apartment. The Landlord need not repair or replace anything installed by the Tenant. The Landlord may cancel this Lease if the Apartment is so damaged by fire or other casualty that it cannot be repaired within fifteen (15) days. The Tenant may not cancel this Lease if the fire or other casualty is caused by the act or neglect of the Tenant or that of the Tenant's pets, family members, guests, visitors or contractors (even if consented to by Landlord).
