One for the legal eagles
The lease I signed for my apartment was a very interesting legal document. One of the most bizarre passages read as follows:
"The Leased Premises shall be for the exclusive use of Ms. Sophie Ford, his immediate family, and household help. The Lesee shall exercise the diligence of a good father of a family in the use of the premises and of the furnishings and appliances supplied."
I did point out to the Real Estate agent that I wasn't a father and would be sharing with another volunteer- perhaps she could change the wording? Instead she assurred me this was a standard contract for the Philippines and the paragraph remains....hmmmm
