The first clause you quote refers to the lessee (you).
Quoting silly2988
That's damage -- but it's damage resulting from ordinary wear and tear.Quoting silly2988
The second clause refers to the lessor (your landlord):
The motor is a mechanical pool part. If the lease makes the lessor responsible for replacing the motor, then you're not responsible for the cost. As a general rule (a) any ambiguity in a contract is construed in favor of the party that did not write the contract, and (b) when a contract contains both a general clause and a specific clause governing the same matter, the specific clause is to be applied.Quoting silly2988
