neutral  Tony M: There is a danger of ambiguity with 'accept', and 'suffer' also leads one to think the repairs might be done to them! 'Put up with' would not fit in the register here.

agree  AllegroTrans: accept (but not "put up with" which is wrong register for a legal doc)

neutral  writeaway: tolerate or allow

agree  Didier Fourcot: "souffrir" in French is rather "accept the inconvenience", with a negative meaning

disagree  Tony M: But the object here is 'les réparations grosses et petites', so how would that fit with your suggestions? — which is in any case not appropriate in register for the context here.
4 mins
disagree  AllegroTrans: this does not fit with the text, nor is it remotely the wording one would see in a legal text

agree  Tony M: Yes! My point exactly, thank you for your expert input!
42 mins
  -> Thanks.
neutral  Jennifer White: tolerate has already been suggested./Quite. Much hot air here over a straightforward answer./ Do you have to resort to personal insults? Pathetic.
58 mins
  -> Yes. You are qzite right. In my haste, I had posted my suggestion before spotting writeaway's tolerate tucked//Stop being catty.//Ridiculous for the second part of my answer to be criticised for coinciding with a neutral comment on another answer.
agree  AllegroTrans: this works but it doesn't invalidate "accept" which is perfectly comprehensible (and which I have seen in UK leases btw)
