DAMAGES AND REIMBURSEMENT: Students agree that if more than one (1) person occupies the premises, the damages, at the Owners discretion, may be apportioned between all the Students and subtracted from the Security deposits as well as any additional monies that may be charged if the Security deposits are insufficient.
