Here, the lease agreement specifically provided that landlord was to repair the roof and replace the air conditioning units. The lease, however, also provided that landlord was not responsible for tenant’s personal property. The lease agreement can be construed to give effect to both the exculpatory clause and the covenants to repair by construing the exculpatory clause to exonerate landlord from liability for personal property, except for damages caused by his failure to repair the roof or replace the air conditioning unit. To hold otherwise, would render the covenants to repair meaningless. See Parker v. Pulitzer Publishing Co., 882 S.W.2d 245, 250 (Mo.App.1994).
