房东提供的租房lease版本不存在非法之说, 因为房子是他的私有财产, 他可以提出对他有利的要求。你所能做的就是在签字与不签字之间选择。这里很多交易都是这样的购车和银行服务等等, 那些条款都是请律师写的, 如果你细读, 都会发现很多条款对接受服务者很苛刻的。你可以选择不签, 但人家不会因为你而改条款。

感谢回复。我这是个residential lease,找个房子住。这租约看起来太吓人了,大冬天我得俩眼盯着温度计,天一冷就得开水龙头防冻管。 'whenever'这词读的我心惊肉跳的。

Regarding the water lines in winter time, is it the common practice and only option in the residential area to leave the water running to avoid water-line freezing and /or bursting due to the cold temperature?  Are all water pipe lines in the city not insulated or only in this property the water pipe line is not insulated?  In case we have a sustained cold air strike, the water is kept running for weeks or longer, the cost to protect the water pipe lines is liable on me, which is not acceptable. I could have avoided this extra cost if you installed insulated water lines.  After all, insulated water line is a necessity to foreseeable risk factor like cold air strike.  
Although we both understand this is an extremely unlikely event, I do not agree the sole responsibility of keeping the water lines from freezing and the cost of consequential damages from a bursting water-pipe line.  According to the terms in this clause, I need to keep my eyes widely open on the thermometer and hands on the water faucet during the whole winter to protect the water pipe lines from cold air attack.  As I need to do so “whenever the outside temperature falls below 30 F”.  Could you please describe the responsibilities under the following imaginary scenario:  (1) my family left for Christmas vacation, and before our departure I notified you that we will be absent for more than 21 days. Unfortunately, cold air strikes  during our absence, the water line frozen and bursted . (2), It has a sudden temperature drop overnight and the water line was frozen before I was aware of the unexpected temperature drop, (3) The house was built in 1973, the over 44 year old water lines broke due to rust erosion.   All these events  flooded the house, including my personal properties, for example, a computer.  Who is paying for the repair?  Will my loss be compensated, and by which party?  
I would like to add one more term in clause 6, “Tenant are waived from aforementioned liabilities  if all appropriate precautionary measurements were taken in a timely manner. ”

看来必须加上一句太极式的 appropriate precautionary measurements了。

后面这些liability 摘的太干净了。找律师的话,是咨询地产律师么? 谢谢您

4 Notice of damage and defects:  I do not agree with the terms after prompt notification of any known defect, breakage, malfunction or damage of the property,  landlord is not obligated or expected to repair or correct such defects, breakage, malfunction or damage.  Please describe responsibilities under the following imaginary scenario:  a reckless driver bumped a big hole in the wall of the property and ran away.  I notified you of this damage immediately.  What is next?
5. Damage by fire, etc : Have your purchased any theft, fire/flood insurance for the house? Is my property covered from any of these insurances? For example, what shall we do in case a tornado blows the roof off?  Or the house is flooded when St Laurence river deluges?  Or the house was set on fire/sabotaged during a riot?   I assume no responsibility for any damages to the property incurred from such natural disaster events or any other unresistible factors.
这么回复合适么,感觉一条条反驳起来好无力。房子位置挺好,孩子上学方便。租个房搞得跟跳火坑似的,心累蛋疼。
还望高人不吝赐教,
无知法盲,百拜敬上

只要不是房东拿着枪逼你签这份合同,那就不能称之为不公平。如果你觉得不公平,你可以不签,就这么简单。如果你签了字就得按合同办。

没有其它好讲的。

This is the move in inspection I requested:

A move in inspection is to be performed at the presence of both landlord (or lawful representative) and tenant to  assure the property is suitable for dwelling purpose. All appliances including but not limited to the refrigerator, dishwasher and oven are fully functional, and all appliances should be in good conditions to sustain the anticipated two year lease term given normal wear and tear.  Tenant is not responsible for any pre-existed damage or malfunction of any appliance, and may request repair/replacement /removal at landlord’s expense before move in.  The move in inspection will not be considered complete till both parties (Tenant and landlord) agreed the premise is in safe, clean and tenantable condition.  Visual proofs like digital pictures/videos will be taken and stored by both parties as future references to evaluate damage and repair cost to the property upon lease expiration.
这要求不过分吧?
