Just reviewing a lease and the rider requires me to pay up to $100 in repairs per repair occurrence. This is surprising to me. Is it something that landlord can ask? Is it common?
There are several provisions in the lease that are contrary to NYC rent regulations (repping I have no child under ten, giving me 30 days to make a lead paint complaint, putting me in charge of hiring my own exterminator). For the most part I'm just letting those slide, since no point arguing unless a problem arises in which case I should be protected.
But this $100 per repair thing concerns me. Is that a responsibility the landlord can place on me?
