Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New Jersey
Lease, Apt. NJ Clause #11
"Tenant will, at its sole expense, keep and maintain the Premises and appurtenances in good and sanitary condition and repair during the term of this Agreement and any renewal thereof." Landlord refuses to specify what kind of repairs I am responsible for...Is this right?

"Right" is what's in the contract. This is not a customary term for an apartment but it is not unlawful. It makes the tenant responsible for all repairs with the possible exception of extraordinary things such as repair of fire damage. If you have not signed the lease, propose a change. If you have signed the lease, it is a little late to be objecting to the terms.
