Hi,
The following sections on smoke detector, insurance and ending a lease were copied from a lease sent to me as an example:
"SMOKE DETECTORS: The Tenant acknowledges receipt of smoke alarm maintenance information and agrees to immediately notify the Landlord in writing of any damage to or malfunction of any smoke detector supplied by the Landlord and the Landlord agrees to service same, provided:
(i)The Landlord shall furnish a battery for each smoke detector requiring same at the time the Tenant takes possession of the Rented Premises, which battery shall thereafter be replaced as needed from time to time by the Tenant;
[/size]34. The tenant shall be responsible for providing property damage insurance for the contents of the rental unit and reasonable liability insurance. Such insurance shall exclude the exercise of any claim by the insurer, whether by subrogation or otherwise against the landlord and against those for whom the landlord is in law responsible.
35. If the tenant wishes to terminate the tenancy at the end of the term, he or she must give notice in writing prior to expiration of the term. If no such notice is delivered and no further agreement entered into, the tenancy continues on a month to month statutory tenancy. A statutory tenancy must give 60 days written notice to end a monthly tenancy."

Would you mention anything about smoke detectors and/or 34. and or 35. above in the agreement?
I see reasons for and against including the above in a lease. Thanks.
