REQUESTS, REPAIRS, AND MALFUNCTIONS:

 

IF YOU OR ANY OCCUPANT NEEDS TO SEND A NOTICE OR REQUEST FOR REPAIRS, INSTALLATIONS, OR SERVICES, IT MUST MADE IN WRITING (emails will suffice) TO OUR DESIGNATED REPRESENTATIVE (except in case of fire, smoke, gas, explosion, overflowing sewage, uncontrollable running water, electrical shorts, or crime in progress). Our written notes on your oral requests do not constitute a written request from you. Our complying with or responding to any oral request doesn't waive the strict requirement for written notices under this Lease Contract. You must promptly notify us in writing of: water leaks; electrical problems; malfunctioning lights; broken or missing locks or latches; and other conditions that pose a hazard to property, health, or safety. If utilities malfunction or are damaged by fire, water, or similar cause, you must notify our representative immediately. Air conditioning problems are not emergencies. If air conditioning or other equipment malfunctions, you must notify our representative as soon as possible on a business day. We'll act with customary diligence to make repairs and reconnections. Rent will not abate in whole or in part unless authorized under Louisiana law. If we believe that fire or catastrophic damage is substantial, or that performance of needed repairs poses a danger to you, we may terminate this Lease Contract within a reasonable time by giving you written notice. If the Lease Contract is so terminated, we'll refund prorated rent and all deposits, less lawful deductions.
