Seeking advice on a lease agreement.

Asked by timothykinney (2743points) July 16th, 2008

“RESIDENT agrees to reimburse OWNER for any loss by fire, for any property damage, or for repairs or service which were caused by the negligence or improper use on the part of RESIDENT, their family or guests. These charges are payable at the time of the next rental payment.”

How can I change this so that I’m only liable for the damage that is my fault? There are other tenants who live along the same hallway and it sounds like I’m also responsible if they start a fire.
