I would prefer you not sue me if you get sick for any reason. Though I am not a multi-million dollar corporation responsible for toxic waste under your bed.

I don't want to pay the cost of environmental remediation through my rent. I would rather an agreement was reached to either deem the area uninhabitable or clean it thoroughly and deem it safe, in which case the non-liability clause oughtn't be necessary. I dislike the lack of guarantee either way.

I didn't mean to trivialize a complicated issue. It was more so hyperbolic musing that in an area that supposedly epitomizes Western civilization, technological progress and elevates humanism, we can't even guarantee basic safety from the elements.

Because I young, broke and desperately looking for a place to live that was convenient and affordable.

How weird - I used to live in that same house that's featured in that article. 1908 Colony St. in Mountain View, CA. I remember the landlord made me sign an agreement that indemnifies them from legal responsibility in the event I get sick from drinking the water, or leaky vapors, or whatever. It basically read that if I get sick for any reason, I can't sue anyone for it. What a lovely and generous place SV is!
