All tenants shall inform their guests of the NO SMOKING RULE. Tenant shall promptly give Landlord notice of any incident of smoking or migrating second hand and third hand smoke. THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES: Tenants agree that other tenants at the complex are the third-party beneficiaries of these No Smoking Rules and, accordingly, a tenant has the right to sue another tenant for an injunction to prohibit smoking or for damages. Any exercise of these rights shall not create a presumption that the Landlord breached these rules. DISCLAIMER: Tenant acknowledges the following: a) that the adoption and/or enforcement of the no smoking rule shall not make the Landlord a guarantor of Tenant’s health or of the smoke-free condition of the Tenant’s apartment and the common areas; b) the adoption and/or enforcement of the no smoking rule shall not, in any way, change the warranty of habitability, the covenant of quiet enjoyment, or other duty of care owed to the Tenant; and c) that Landlord’s ability to police, monitor, or enforce the no smoking rule is dependent in significant part on compliance by the Tenant and Tenant’s guests. Landlord specifically disclaims any implied or express warranties that the building(s), common areas, or Tenant’s premises will have any higher or improved air quality standards than any other rental property. Landlord cannot and does not warranty or promise that the rental premises or common areas will be free from second hand and third hand smoke.

IMPORTANT: EFFECT OF BREACH AND RIGHT TO TERMINATE LEASE: A breach of this Lease Addendum shall give each party all the rights contained herein, as well as the rights in the Lease.
