Unless inconsistent with state/local law, Owner shall not be liable for the loss or damage to Resident’s personal property from theft, vandalism, fire, water damage, smoke, Owner supplied appliances, operating systems, interruption of utility services, or other cause, unless due to the specific negligence of Owner. If for any reason Owner agrees to render services such as handling furniture, cleaning, delivering or accepting packages, or providing access, Resident specifically agrees to hold Owner harmless from all liability in connection with such services. In the event of damage to the Premises or Property through fire, water, or other casualty, which are of sufficient nature that occupancy cannot be reasonably continued; Owner may offer Resident alternative premises if such space is available. Resident may, at his/her option, accept the alternative premises, in which event the Lease terms, including but not limited to the timely payment of rent, shall continue in full force and effect. Notwithstanding other provisions in this Lease to the contrary, in the event that no alternative premises is available or Resident elects not to accept alternative premises offered by the Owner, the Lease may be terminated by Resident without notice. In this event, neither party shall have any further obligation to each other. Any rent paid for the month shall be prorated and the unearned portion refunded to Resident. Owner shall not be liable to Resident for any lack of access to the Premises, the Neighborhood, or any other land under the control of the Federal Government.
