The abridged version:
An international FedEx package, which required a signature, was delievered to my apartment complex office when I was not home to receive it. The office lost the package (or perhaps gave it to another tenant) and now refuse to take responsibility for it even though they signed for the package. The manager says according to the lease they cannot be held responsible even though I never requested the package be handled by the office. Is this true or can they be held accountable?
The lease reads like this:
"If any employee of Lessor renders any other service (such as parking, washing or delivery of automobiles, handling of furniture or other articles, cleaning the rented premises, package delivery or any other service) for or at the request of Resident, his/her family, employees or guests, then for the purpose of such service, such employee shall be deemed the agent of Resident, regardless of whether or not payment is arranged for such service and Resident agrees to relieve Lessor and hold Lessor harmless from any and all liability in connection with such services."
