Clauses 3.02(a) and 3.04 of the 3rd Tenancy Agreement unambiguously imposed on the tenant a continuing duty to keep the interior (including windows) in good repair and to replace broken or damaged windows even if damage was beyond the tenant's control; the tenant breached those covenants and the landlord was entitled to set off proven repair costs and loss of rental against the security deposit; the proper assessed liability after deductions, discounts and allowance for loss of rental resulted in a net judgment for the Defendant of HK$17,250 plus interest and costs.
