Scary Scary Lease Agreement

[sclyrejected]

Today I officially recieved my lease agreement for Cardinal Village. I have got to say this thing is ridiculously scary. Ten pages of tiny, mind numbing font running seemingly seamlessly through, blurting out things like TENANT IS ADVISED TO SECURE APARTMENT-DWELLERS OR SIMILAR INSURANCE TO COVER ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE TO PERSONAL PROPERTY and leaving

"The Landlord may assume that Tenant has abandoned the assigned room if... Tenant has not been in the room for five (5) consecutive days"

I guess you're not coming home for Christmas then.

You probably don't have renter's insurance... Daddy said i didn't when we looked into it after the fire. However, you also probably have less that $2000 worth of stuff in your room. So it would be cheaper and easier to just replace it when it gets stolen/vandalized/flooded/burned/ect... than it would be to hold renter's insurance on your stuff.
Plus in the event of a theft/fire/flood/vandal/break-in/ect i'm sure the rents will be willing to help you out.
Unless of course you are the theif/arson/cause of flood/vandal/God that caused said disaster. In that case you should learn to think before you act, or get on some serious drugs.

Oh and i don't believe that getting mugged is covered under renter's insurance, so that really doesn't matter.
