help me, please to understand what it means: "Lessor makes no warranties or representations.."?

Question

"Lessor makes no warranties or representations of whatsoever whether express or implied to Lessee..."

tell me if warranty here means - statement
and representation - declaration???

or if warranty here is rather a service and representation...what could it mean?

Answer 1

Warranty seems to mean declaration like as in the condition of goods, property etc that is being leased.

Answer 2

OK, here we go. If this is a commercial lease, then the clause is more valid. But in ANY lease situation, (and I'm assuming we are in the United States,) there are certain covenants and warranties that are implied and codified and enforceable even if the lease claims they are not. Some of them are:

Warranty of habitability-That means if the place becomes uninhabitable through no fault of the tenant, landlord has to fix it or release you from responsibility for rent, and may have to pay you for any excess rent you incur.

Warranty of quiet enjoyment- That means you have the right to use the property without neighbors blasting stereos and the like. Landlord has to maintain this and is responsible to control.

There are others, and most of them cant be waived by a lease or landlord's statement. If you have questions, you should have the lease reviewed by an attorney to make sure you have these rights in your state. But better yet, dont deal with a landlord who is trying to get you to waive your rights.

Answer 3

In plain English, it means that once you lease (rent) it from him, you're on your own. He's not saying that it's in any sort of a good condition (you need to judge that for yourself) and won't take responsibility if it breaks down on you.
