  3. OHIO UNIVERSITY鈥橲 LIABILITY

    Tenant agrees that the University shall not be liable for personal or other property damage or personal injury occurring in the house or on or about University property or grounds upon which the house is located regardless of cause unless the damage or injury results from the University鈥檚 negligence.
