Jack breached the duty not to commit waste by bringing heavy machinery into the apartment and damaging the flooring. The duty to deliver possession refers to the landlord's obligation to provide the tenant with access to the property; the duty to pay rent requires the tenant to pay rent on time; and the duty not to use leased premises for illegal or nonstipulated purposes means that the tenant cannot use the property in a way that violates the lease agreement or the law.
