Any request for maintenance or repairs shall be deemed to give Management authority to enter the premises without requiring notice or further permission.
Limited Liability: Management will not be liable or responsible in any way for loss or damage to person or property of Tenant or their guests unless due to gross negligence of Management. Management recommends that Tenant secure insurance against such losses. Tenant agrees to be responsible for its own property and for its own safety.

Barbecue grills, trash or other items cannot be stored in hallways or outside the building. It is specifically mutually agreed that Management shall NOT be liable for any damages (personal injury or to property) directly or indirectly caused by any other occupant, resident, tenant or guest.

MANAGEMENT STRONGLY SUGGESTS THAT TENANT SECURE RENTERS INSURANCE TO PROTECT AGAINST ALL OF THE ABOVE OCCURRENCES. Management shall hold Tenant liable for any damages caused by Tenant, its occupants, guests and/or invitees including but not limited to fire, flood, explosion, water damage, and pests. Management strongly suggests and recommends that Tenant obtain additional insurance to protect its own belongings. Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Management and its representatives from any and all liability for actions or inactions of Tenant which cause damage or injury to any party or person. Tenant agrees that locks and latches are acceptable subject to Manager’s duty to make needed repairs upon request of Tenant. It is acknowledged and agreed that Tenant had other options available for obtaining housing and chose to enter into this agreement with the limitation on liability of Management. Further, tenant acknowledges that it had to qualify to enter into this agreement.

Tenant may not place its own locks on the Premises or devices which prevent Management entry. Tenant shall pay for and replace smoke detector and/or carbon monoxide detector batteries as needed. If Management’s employees are requested to render services not contemplated in this Agreement, Tenant agrees to hold management harmless for all liability regarding the same. Management may provide security patrols and/or security equipment for the purpose of protecting its property. However, Management will not provide any security for Tenants. Each Tenant is responsible for its own personal security and the security of its property. It is acknowledged that the premises have been occupied and used by other individuals and that Management cannot represent what such persons have had or done within the premises. Tenant acknowledges that it will not hold Management, its agents, or employees liable for prior actions within the premises by other occupants or their guests, including such actions that may have unknown continuing residual effects on the premises. Management does not warrant that other tenants will have or maintain renter’s insurance, and shall not be liable for damages resulting from the actions of such other tenants. Rental insurance obtained by tenant must have a non-subrogation provision as against Management and Management’s insurance. Tenant expressly agrees and understands that Tenant will not be considered a co-insured under Management’s commercial insurance policy for purposes of subrogation, and Tenant agrees to be responsible for damage resulting from a fire, flood, explosion and water damage caused by Tenant, its guests, occupants, and invitees. It is the intent of the parties that this section be applied so as to provide the maximum allowable protection from actions against Management and that any provisions determined to violate law or policy be severed only to the minimal extent possible leaving all other provisions intact. Because of the nature of Student Housing, Management does not warrant the reputation or conduct of any Tenant. Tenant is responsible for its own safety and for the safety and security of its property and valuables. Tenant specifically indemnifies and holds harmless Management from any and all liability resulting from the actions, inactions, or other issues relating to other tenants, guests, or occupants.
Property Damage: All missing or damaged articles which are furnished with the premises by the Management shall be charged against the Tenant at replacement cost. Tenant is responsible for all damages to the premises and furnishings caused by action or negligence by themselves or their guests including fire and water damage.
