for the days that Tenant was temporarily displaced.
X. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR. Landlord shall keep all portions of the Premises
in good order, condition and repair. Where a repair is the responsibility of the Landlord, Tenant
must notify Landlord in writing stating what item needs servicing or repair. Tenant must give
Landlord a reasonable opportunity to service or repair said item. Tenant acknowledges that rent
will not be withheld unless a written notice has been served on Landlord giving Landlord a
reasonable time to fix said item. Under no circumstances may Tenant withhold rent unless said
item constitutes a substantial breach of the warranty of habitability. If any part of the Premises
or the building is damaged by any act or omission of the Tenant, Tenant shall pay Landlord the
cost of repairing or replacing such damaged property, whether or not Landlord would otherwise
be obligated to pay the cost of maintaining or repairing such property.
X. DAMAGES TO PREMISES. In the event the Premises are destroyed or rendered
wholly untenantable by fire, storm, earthquake, or other casualty not caused by the negligence of
Tenant, this Lease shall terminate from such time except for the purpose of enforcing rights that
may have then accrued hereunder. In such case, the rent provided for herein shall be accounted
for by and between Landlord and Tenant up until the time of such destruction and Tenant shall
pay rent up to said date and Landlord shall refuse rent collected beyond such date. Should only a
portion of the Premises thereby be rendered untenantable, Landlord shall have the option of
either repairing such portion or terminating this Lease. In the event Landlord exercises the right
to repair such portion, the rent shall abate in the proportion that the damaged portion bears to the
whole Premises, and the damaged portion shall be restored by Landlord as speedily as
practicable, after which the full rent shall recommence and this Lease continue according to its
terms.
X. QUIET ENJOYMENT. Upon payment of all the sums referred to herein as being
payable by Tenant, and Tenant’s performance of all Tenant’s agreements contained herein and
Tenant’s observance of all rules and regulations, shall and may peacefully and quietly have,
hold, and enjoy said Premises for the term hereof. Tenant covenants that neither he/she nor
his/her guests and invitees shall commit or permit a nuisance in or upon the premises, shall not
disturb, annoy, endanger, or inconvenience other tenants of the building, neighbors, the Landlord
or his agents, or workmen, nor violate any law, nor commit or permit waste in or about the
premises and shall not maliciously or by reason of gross negligence damage the Premises,
outbuildings, or grounds, or engage in conduct so as to interfere substantially with the comfort
and safety of residents of adjacent buildings.
X. TENANT HOLDOVER ON TERMINATION OF LEASE. If Tenant remains in
possession of the Premises after the expiration of this Lease, upon the express written approval
of the Landlord, a new month-to-month tenancy shall be created between Landlord and Tenant,
which shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions hereof except that rent shall then be due
