Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, rental contracts explicitly list a "cláusula de daños" (damage clause). Landlords often require a "fianza" (security deposit) that can be used to pay for any damage not covered by insurance, so the phrase is common in both legal documents and everyday conversation about renting.
