There is a valuable lesson there for whatever fool wrote the contract. Don't promise someone uncapped use of something like that for a fixed price. Especially not electricity.

- mjevans 3y agoThat sounds lovely and refreshing... Please get that into the USA so I don't have to READ 40+ pages every year!
- callalex 3y agoHow does that work for shared spaces and excluded areas? For example I live in the bottom half of a house, and my and the other tenants leases very clearly specify what parts of the house can by used by whom and what decks and access gates are shared etc.
- Spivak 3y agoThe more realistic lesson is don't apply programmer logic to legal contracts where the courts will apply reasonableness tests, side with the landlord, and stick you with a many thousand dollar bill. It's like how pricing mistakes on websites are in the consumer's favor when they're small but in the sellers favor when they're large because it's unreasonable to assume someone would be selling a $450 item for $4.50.
- roenxi 3y agoIf an idiot landlord gets into court because a tenant took their contract literally, they're a fool who has hopefully learned a valuable albeit very expensive lesson about writing contracts.
