Accidental Damage Waiver
An Accidental Damage Waiver (ADW) fee is included in the rate for each property.
ADW is a non-refundable fee whereby Midgett Realty assumes the liability associated with minor accidental damages to the leased premises or its contents during the Tenant’s occupancy. ADW is not insurance, nor should it be interpreted as such. This allows Midgett Realty to waive your responsibility for reported accidental damage up to a maximum aggregate amount of $2,500.00. The damage waiver becomes effective upon check-in and terminates at departure or 10:00 A.M. on the last day of the lease term (“check-out time”), whichever occurs first.
Unreported damages, non-accidental damages, excluded damages or damages exceeding $2,500.00 dollars will be the sole responsibility of the Tenant. The non-refundable waiver does not in any way negate your responsibility as Tenant. The cost to repair damage attributable to the Tenant or Tenant’s invitees due to Acts of God, intentional acts, willful conduct, gross negligence, abuse of the property, violation of lease terms, or pets will not be paid under the ADW and remain the responsibility of the Tenant.
Damage must be reported to Midgett Realty prior to “check-out time." The ADW applies only to loss or damage to the leased premises or its contents. The applicability of ADW to damaged property, any determination of the extent of damage and any determination of the cost of repairs to damaged property shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of Midgett Realty.
