The Tenant covenants that the Tenant shall not carry on any business within the leased Premises, nor

use the Premises for any purpose other than that of a private, single family residence, nor permit the Premises to be used for any disorderly or unlawful

purposes. The Tenant shall not sublet the Premises, nor assign this Lease without consent in writing of the Landlord or Landlord’s Agent which consent

may be withheld at Landlord’s sole discretion, with or without cause. The Tenant shall not use or permit the Premises to be used for any unlawful act in or

upon the Premises. Further, the Tenant shall not make nor permit to be made any disturbing noises, or do anything which will unreasonably interfere with

the rights, comforts or conveniences of neighbors, or act in any manner as to constitute or become a nuisance. Any breach of this provision shall be suffi-

standing.

38. CASUALTY DAMAGE:

If the Premises are destroyed by fire, act of nature, act of God, public enemies, or other casualty, the Term of this Lease

shall immediately cease upon payment of rent apportioned to the day of such happening. If, however, the Premises are only partially destroyed or dam-

aged and the Landlord decides to repair the Premises, such repairs shall be made by the Landlord or Landlord’s Agent without unreasonable delay, and

this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, without any abatement of rent. Should Tenant negligence or omission be the cause of the destruction or dam-

age, the Lease shall not cease nor shall there be any abatement in rent, and the Tenant shall be liable for the rent during the unexpired Term of this Lease,

without abatement unless Landlord elects to terminate this Lease.

pense, or store any illegal drugs on or about the Premises, nor shall any such person attempt, endeavor or conspire to manufacture, sell, distribute or store

any illegal drugs on or about the Premises. Any violation of this prohibition shall give Landlord the right to terminate this Lease immediately, in which event

Landlord shall give Tenant written notice to vacate the Premises. If Tenant fails to vacate the Premises in accordance with the notice, Landlord shall be

entitled to immediately seek repossession of the Premises in accordance with applicable law. Tenant agrees Landlord shall be entitled to repossession of

the Premises pursuant to this provision if Landlord or Landlord’s Agent has a reasonable basis to believe there has been a breach of this covenant to main-

tain a drug-free environment.
