What does it mean that a tenant shall not "commit waste?"
Often a lease will contain a provision stating that a tenant shall not "commit waste" with respect to the rental property. This means that the tenant has the responsibility to keep the rental property clean, to properly dispose of trash, and shall not deliberately or negligently allow damage to the property. Further, most leases require the tenant to return the rental property to the landlord in a clean and habitable condition, except for "reasonable wear and tear," at the end of the lease term.
