Common use of WHEN THE LEASE ENDS Clause in Contracts

WHEN THE LEASE ENDS. When the lease ends, the tenant agrees to return the residence in the same condition as it was at the start of the lease, except for normal wear and tear and except for those inspection items which were noted in Section 20 of this lease and not repaired. The tenant will have to pay for damage to the residence only if the damage was caused by the tenant or the tenant’s family, invitees or guests. The tenant must return the keys to the residence or else the tenant can be considered a “hold-over” tenant and still obligated to pay monthly rent.
