As the seminal landlord-tenant case in this jurisdiction teaches, policy considerations are important in construing residential leases. Kline v. Burns, 111 N.H. 87, 276 A.2d 248 (1971). Even in the commercial context, however, a lease which binds the lessee “to make at his own expense all repairs of any kind, whether ordinary or extraordinary” does not require the lessee to repair a building that has become unusable for its purpose, and which has “inherent structural vices.” Fazzio v. Riverside Realty Company, 232 La. 794, 807, 95 So. 2d 315, 320 (1957).
