Can we specify in the lease not to use fireplace in our rental house? Is there any sample lease agreement clause to that effect?

I would just do something to make it unusable. In one of mine I just caulked a metal decorative plate over the opening.

I would create an "Addendum - Fireplace Use" for them to sign/date stating that they are not to use the fireplace and if they do they would be responsible for all damages. You can also state that using the fireplace is a lease violation and a cause for eviction. Have your lease refer to the Addendum ---- Disclaimer: Since I’ve been answering a lot of questions, I thought I would make the following statement. I’m not affiliated with EZlandlord Forms. I’m just here (not sure how long) to help those that have questions. Having 40+ yrs with Rental Property and done well, it’s my way of “Pay it Forward (check out the movie).” However, it is up to you to become familiar with your State/Local laws. I always like to know if the suggestions I offer are helpful. Feel free to comment anytime. Thanks in Advance.
