Tenant's Responsibilities

NATURAL DISASTERS (FROM YOUR LEASE)...

Tenant is responsible to protect, secure and prepare for any and all natural disasters affecting the geographical location (the county and adjoining counties in which the premises are located in), with regard to the premises, personal property and persons. If Tenant attempts to protect the premises (e.g. by boarding and/or taping windows, etc), Tenant is responsible to ensure that such is reasonably and professionally done so as not to cause damage to the premises and shall reimburse Owner/Manager if Tenant does cause damage. If the premises are damaged by a disaster, the “Damage” sections herein apply. Items damaged that are not under the “warranty of habitability” are the responsibility of Tenant. Tenant is responsible to perform clean-up tasks after such disasters (e.g. fallen branches, leaves, small trees, etc.), except that Owner/Manager shall be responsible to remove any large trees (larger than 20' feet) damaged by a disaster (unless otherwise agreed). Owner/Manager’s obligations of this provision will be performed in a reasonable manner and time, considering the circumstances at the time. Tenant agrees to obey all voluntary and involuntary evacuations.
