What is the 'make good' clause? 'Make good' refers to the clause/s in a lease that set out how a tenant should leave a property at the end of the lease term. Basically, when the day comes to hand back the keys to the landlord, the property should be in the condition that is stipulated in the lease.

tomonth tenancy may be terminated by either party giving 30 days' notice in writing, prior to the next rent due date, of his intention to terminate the same, unless the rental agreement provides for a different notice period.

For example, the original tenant might have put holes in the wall to make a new passageway or undertaken other major work on the property. At the end of the lease, the new tenant must fix those issues and return the property to the condition that it was in at the start of the lease.

For example, if Company X stops paying rent June 1 and Company X leaves June 1, the good guy is completely off the hook. If Company X stops paying rent June 1 and Company X leaves July 1, the good guy owes the landlord rent for the month of June.
