Passage Summary: A rental agreement says you aren't responsible for damage if you wrote it down when you moved in, or if the damage happened later due to something you couldn't help.

Reasoning: The lease provides two specific conditions under which a tenant is exempt from paying for damage: if the damage was recorded on the preexisting damage list, or if the damage was caused by factors beyond the tenant's control.

Analysis: This is a 'Principle Application' task. We need to find a scenario that triggers one of the two 'get out of jail free' cards mentioned in the lease. To support the view that the tenant doesn't have to pay, the answer choice must clearly show either that the damage was documented before they moved in or that the damage was an 'act of God' or some other external force. If the damage isn't on the list and the tenant caused it (or could have prevented it), they're on the hook for the bill.
