Unless its something they caused to break by misuse I pay for it as I want them to report it as soon as there is an issue as I had a friend do first 150 on tenant and he found that small things would just go unfixed because they wouldn't report it.

When property secured in an installment contract the deal is dead when the dealer takes possession, but there could be damages for destruction of the property and similar misuse.

I had asked the original question because I didn’t want to put the realtor in a situation where it would even appear that the realtor could be misusing his access to the MLS.  

When damage is caused by misuse or neglect, rather than as a consequence solely of normal and reasonable wear.a.)When sanitary napkins, garbage, grease, or foreign or harmful substances are placed into plumbing receptacles.b.)When damage results from activities or actions, which violate this agreement by Tenant or Tenant's guest(s).c.)When damage is caused by wind, rain, or other elements from leaving windows open or by the overflow of water in the property. d.)When and if the premises are burglarized or broken into. e.)Tenant agrees to be responsible for the cost of:i.all pest controlii.snow removaliii.any broken glass, no matter how it gets brokeniv.any broken door or lock - including storm doors, no matter how it gets broken.

A contractor that might miss something could cost them, we have had contractors that misused funds (materials ended up on other jobs) and such can happen with good intentions and just get behind, nothing illegal, just that you can get behind.

But I am glad to see that the focus of the thread is no longer about lies deceptions and outright malice and misrepresentations on the part of Marquis and has moved more towards my own personal ineptitude and misuse of terms and or typos.

I feel like they are mis-using the clause to make me take care of expenses they were required to pay when they foreclosed.Am I dreaming?

Matt I know I misused the term, basically what I mean is the house still has a bank mortgage against it.

So I personally have in my lease that any damage caused by tenant neglect or misuse is their financial responsibility.

I only harp on it because that messaging confuses a lot of people and people are misusing the words.
