I am trying to rent a condo in GTA, and I was sent a document called schedule A, that contains this: "The Tenant agrees to be responsible for the repairs of all fixtures and appliances in the
premises up to and including the first hundred dollars [$100] for each and every repair
(including the change of light bulbs, fan coil filters, toilet seat covers, window
coverings). Landlord agrees to pay the balance of those repairs except in the case of the
Tenant’s negligence."
Have anybody seen something like this before? According to this page https://www.ontario.ca/page/guide-ontarios-standard-lease-newcomers this falls under void and unenforceable terms. Why would landlords or realtors put something like this in the lease if that's not enforceable anyway? How would they benefit from it? According to the realtor, the motivation is to keep tenants from submitting a repair request for every light bulb.
