These damages are uncertain and <br />difficult to ascertain--particularly those relating to inconvenience, <br />paperwork, advertising, showing apartments, utilities for showing, <br />checking prospects, office overhead, marketing costs, and locator- <br />service fees. You agree that the reletting charge is a reasonable <br />estimate of such damages and that the charge is due whether or <br />not our reletting attempts succeed.If no amount is stipulated, <br />you must pay our actual reletting costs so far as they can be <br />determined. The reletting charge does not release you from <br />continued liability for: future or past-due rent; charges for cleaning, <br />repairing, repainting, or unreturned keys; or other sums due. <br />3.3 REIMBURSEMENT <br />You must promptly reimburse us for loss, damage, government <br />fines, or cost of repairs or service in the apartment community <br />due to a violation of the Lease Contract or rules, improper use, or <br />negligence by you or your guests or occupants.
