This family has four children whereas the previous tenant had none, so it's pretty clear who caused the issue.My lease is clear:Owner will not pay to repair conditions caused by the Tenant, his guest or invitee or damage due to windows or doors left open, sewer/septic stoppages caused by foreign or improper objects in lines, or cosmetic items that do not impact the functionality or use of the item.
