[RPPTL LandTen] Personal property liability - Residential

[Harry Heist]

Most leases have a clause whereby the landlord and tenant agree that the landlord is not responsible for damage or loss to the tenant’s personal property. Often it urges or requires the tenant to get renter’s insurance. 

 

I have never seen this really tested.

 

Then there is the implied warranty of habitability lurking out there.

 

What are your thoughts on the enforceability of the lease clause for instance in the case of a pipe break through no fault of the tenant or a mold bloom through no fault of the tenant?

 

Any cases? Experiences in court?

 

Harry
