Highlight “indemnify”, or the whole clause. Then highlight a word in the answer to go deeper.

Residential tenancy agreement, clause 14

The tenant shall indemnify the landlord against all losses, liabilities and claims arising from any breach of this agreement by the tenant, and the landlord’s right of re-entry shall not be prejudiced by any waiver or acceptance of rent.

What it means for you

Not a definition of “indemnify” — what this clause would have you do, and when.

Ask the question you have

“Can they keep my bond for this?” “What if I leave early?” Ask in your own words, about this clause.
