body: I am looking at signing a lease on an apartment, but there are a few phrases that give me pause:
  
  
  "Resident agrees that Resident is at all times responsible for the conduct and actions of all other persons regardless of any culpability or knowledge on Resident’s part."
  
  
  I imagine that the *intent* is to say all other persons *party to this lease or guests thereof*, but there is no qualification like this actually in the lease. 
  
  
  The second phrase that I'm getting hung up on is this:
  
  
  "To the greatest extent permitted by law, **Landlord shall not be liable to Resident**, even for negligent acts or omissions of Landlord or Landlord's agents or employees, **for any damage or injury**, whether to person or property, loss, or destruction to Resident's property, including but not limited to any damage or injury, whether to person or property, loss, or destruction of property **sustained by Resident from any cause** including but not limited to the causes and risks set forth herein."
  
  
  This *seems* to me to exempt the landlord from responsibility, even in the event that he or she breaks into my apartment and shoots me, given that it is always *permitted by law* that a victim choose not to press charges. Is this correct? 
  
  
  Also, related to this, if the landlord is **not** willing to change the wording of the lease agreement, are these pretty standard things to see on a lease that I shouldn't worry about? (Maybe because they're not enforceable?)
  
  
  Thanks very much
