Please house, kindly help me explain this line of the new agreement am about to sign.

Tenant is To pay all rates, taxes, imposition, levies, charges and all other outgoings whatsoever whether municipal, state or federal which are now or may hereafter become imposed or charged upon the owner or occupier of the Demised Premises.

Is this how it should be or not?

Thanks all

Do not sign the agreement else you have incurred hot charcoal on your he'd, get your lawyer to review it with you and write them appropriately, but also consider getting another apartment as that's where it's ikely to lead to at the long run.

Yeah even though u have paid, don't sign, you did what most Nigerians don't do by going ahead to sign agreements without going through it, that's a smart move from you, when the landlord comes asking, tell me there are some clauses there you consider hidden ambush and you don't agree, that's why you can't sign.
Signing it means you have read through and agreed, but not signing means you did not agree so there's no agreement until the grey areas are ironed out, please get a lawyer to assist you.
