<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am of two minds with regard to the following provision and hoped to solicit some of your sage wisdom…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The standard residential lease provides an option for liquidate damages as follows:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>I agree, as provided in the rental agreement, to pay ___ (an amount that does not exceed two months’ rent) as liquidated damages or an early termination fee if I elect to terminate the rental agreement and the landlord waives the right
to seek additional rent beyond the month in which landlord retakes possession.<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So who does this provision most benefit landlord or tenant? The word that has me struggling with construction here is “and”.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here the tenant is agreeing to the liquidated amount if tenant elects to terminate but the use of the word “and” there either means that (a) a precondition of the liquidated damages provision is landlord’s prospective waiver of the right
to seek additional rent (which would favor landlord) or (b) the landlord is already agreeing to the waiver.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My understanding is that there is a general consensus that (b) is implicit in the language but I think if that is the case it is poorly worded.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thoughts?<o:p></o:p></p>
