A vacant UNIT will be deemed abandoned after three (3) days without a lock. By contract, the OCCUPANT is required to utilize a locking device at all times. If said abandoned property or any part thereof is sold, LANDLORD may receive and retain the proceeds of such sale and apply the same, at their option, against the expense of the sale, the cost of moving and storage, and any arrears of rent or additional rent payable hereunder and damages to which owner may be entitled.

Chapter 21 and any sale or disposition of a vessel, snowmobile, or all-terrain vehicle shall be performed pursuant to 23 V.S.A Chapter 36.

No representative of the LANDLORD is authorized to make any representations or warranties except as expressly set forth herein.

LANDLORD may accept a partial rent payment, while the OCCUPANT is in default, however the OCCUPANT'S status will remain in default from the date the payment in full was due, and any such payment on account will not constitute a waiver of LANDLORD'S rights to proceed with lien, foreclosure, and sale of the stored personal property as provided by State law. The LANDLORD reserves the right to require any past due payment be made in cash, cashier's check, or money order.

29. COVENANT OR CONDITION WAIVER: The waiver by either party of any breach of any term, covenant, or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant, or condition upon any subsequent breach of the same term, covenant, or condition. Any subsequent acceptance of performance shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach of any term, covenant, or condition of this AGREEMENT, other than the failure to perform the duties subsequently accepted, regardless of knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such performance.

30. BANKRUPTCY AND OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDINGS: In the event the OCCUPANT should file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or if the OCCUPANT becomes subject to any other type of legal action or proceeding where the right to occupy the PREMISES is an issue, the OCCUPANT agrees to notify the LANDLORD in writing within three (3) days via certified mail, return receipt requested, to the address shown on the top of this AGREEMENT. LANDLORD shall have the right to recourse against the OCCUPANT to the fullest extent allowed by State & Federal law. The filing of bankruptcy does not automatically void this AGREEMENT.
