Question

why might a landlord include information about utilities in a lease agreement? select the two correct answers. (1 point)
□ to avoid having to offer a grace period
□ to encourage tenants to pay their rent on time
□ to make sure tenants know whom to pay for electricity and water
□ to allow flexibility in the lease if the landlord wants tenants to move out early
□ to clarify whether trash pickup is included in the rent

Explanation:

1. Analyze each option:

• "to avoid having to offer a grace period": Grace period relates to rent payment timing, not utilities. Eliminate.
• "to encourage tenants to pay their rent on time": Utilities info doesn't directly encourage rent payment. Eliminate.
• "to make sure tenants know whom to pay for electricity and water": Lease utilities info clarifies utility payment responsibility. Correct.
• "to allow flexibility in the lease if the landlord wants tenants to move out early": Utilities info has no relation to lease flexibility for early move - out. Eliminate.
• "to clarify whether trash pickup is included in the rent": Trash pickup is a utility - related service, and including utilities info in the lease can clarify such inclusions. Correct.

Answer:

C. to make sure tenants know whom to pay for electricity and water, E. to clarify whether trash pickup is included in the rent
