1. RENT PAYMENT POLICIES Typical rent payment is due on the 1st day of each month and will be considered late if not paid in full on or before 4 PM the 4th day of the month. Tenant(s) agrees to pay a late fee of $5.00 per day until the rental payment is paid in full. Tenant(s) shall make all monthly payments in one monthly check or cash payment. Tenant(s) shall add $1.00 for each additional check or cash payment per month. Tenant(s) agrees to pay a $20.00 charge for each returned check plus daily late fees until acceptable payment is received by Landlord. All monies received by Landlord shall be applied first to non-rent obligations of the Tenant(s), including late charges, charges for returned checks, pet penalties, utility reimbursements, and damage reimbursements, if any, then to rent, regardless of notations on the check. At Landlord’s option, Landlord may at any time, require that all rent and other sums be paid in cash, cashier’s check, certified check or money order.

2. MOVE OUT NOTICE/LEASE RENEWAL Written notice of termination must be given by either party at least 30 days before the end of the Lease Term or any renewal or extension period, or in the absence of such notice, this lease will be automatically renewed on a month-to-month basis unless another lease is signed by both parties. In the event of automatic renewal or extension, the Lease Term shall extend to, and the rent shall be paid through, the last day of the month following the expiration of the 30-day notice period; in other words, the last month’s rent must be for a full month without any prorations. Failure to give the 30 day written move-out notice will subject Tenant(s) to liability for further rentals, reletting charges, and other damages and charges to which Landlord is entitled.

3. RELETTING BY LANDLORD Should Tenant(s) vacate or abandon the leased premises without rent being paid in full for the entire lease term or renewal or extension period, Landlord shall use diligence to sublet and Tenant(s) shall be charged for costs of subletting regardless of whether or not subletting attempts are successful. However, Landlord will not be deemed to have accepted any abandonment as surrender unless written notice of an election to do so is given to Tenants. Acceptance of keys to the dwelling unit shall not constitute an acceptance of any abandonment or surrender. It is the mutual benefit of both Tenant(s) and Landlord to stipulate in advance the costs of reletting because it is difficult to evaluate such costs as inconvenience, paper work, pro-rate advertising, showing leased premises, checking prospects, administrative and office overhead, and locator service fees (all of which may vary greatly). Therefore, it is agreed that costs of reletting shall be the liquidated sum of $200.00 regardless of whether the actual costs are greater or lesser. This amount shall be in addition to past due rentals, future rentals and/or charges for utilities, cleaning, repairing, repainting or other sums due under this lease. All subsequent rentals received shall be credited against tenants liability for future rentals. In the event Tenant(s) abandons personal property in or about the dwelling unit, such shall become the property of the Landlord and the Landlord may retain it or dispose of it as the Landlord determines.

4. APPLICATION FEE AND SECURITY DEPOSIT Tenant(s) shall pay Landlord on or before the execution of this lease security deposit in the amount stipulated in Paragraph A-6 of the Lease Agreement in addition to the first month’s rent. Twenty-five dollars ($25.00) of the security deposit shall be kept by the Landlord as a service fee for the processing of the Application and Lease. The balance of the security deposit shall be the security deposit retained by the Landlord, in trust, to secure the performance of this Lease and shall be subject to refund by Landlord to Tenant(s) pursuant to the provisions of the Uniform Residential Landlord Tenant Act. The security deposit shall not be applied by Tenant(s) to the last month’s rent. The refundable portion of the security deposit will be remitted to the forwarding address provided by Tenant(s) if the Tenant(s) has complied with the terms of this Lease. (Also see paragraph #21 and #22 of the Rules and Regulations.)

5. MOVE IN INSPECTION Tenant(s) shall complete the move-in inspection report form provided by Landlord and return same to Landlord within 48 hours after move-in. Landlord will rely on said form when determining deductions from Tenant’s security deposit for damage to the premises. Tenant’s failure to return the move-in inspection form will constitute Tenant’s acceptance of the premises as entirely clean and damage free.

6. PET POLICY Tenant(s) shall not permit any pet on the leased premises or common areas, even temporarily. Violation of the pet policy will be considered a material noncompliance by Tenant(s) with the Lease Agreement and, in addition to other remedies provided herein, shall subject Tenant(s) to a penalty of $50.00 per day of violation and subject Tenant’s apartment to unannounced inspections for 6 months. A second pet violation will result in eviction.

7. ASSIGNMENT, SUBLETTING, AND ADDITIONAL TENANTS Tenant(s) shall not assign, sublet, or permit additional persons to occupy the premises without the prior written consent of the Landlord.

8. HOLDOVER If Tenant(s) remains in possession without Landlord’s consent after expiration of the term of the rental agreement or after notice of its termination is given to Tenant(s), Landlord may bring an action for possession and in addition, shall recover the greater of the actual damages sustained by the Landlord or liquidated damages of $75.00 per day for each day, or portion thereof, that the Tenant(s) fails to surrender possession. No consent under this paragraph shall be valid unless it is in writing and signed by Landlord. In addition to the foregoing damages, the Tenant(s) shall pay the Landlord the actual attorney’s fees incurred as a result of Tenant(s)’s holdover.

9. DELAY OF POSSESSION If Landlord is unable to give Tenant(s) possession at the beginning of the term, the rent shall be rebated on a pro rata basis until possession can be given, which rebated rent shall be accepted by Tenant(s) as full settlement of all damages occasioned by said delay, and if possession cannot be delivered within fifteen days of the beginning of said tern either party may thereupon terminate this lease by giving the other party notice of such termination.

10. REIMBURSEMENT Tenant(s) shall promptly reimburse Landlord for any loss, property damage, or cost of repairs of service to the dwelling caused by negligence or by improper use by Tenant(s), Tenant’s guests, or other occupants. Landlord’s failure or delay in demanding damage reimbursement, utility reimbursement, late payment charges, returned check charges, pet policy violation, or other sums due by Tenant(s) shall not be deemed a waiver and Landlord may require payment of same at any time, including deduction from Deposit. Landlord may require advance payment of repairs for which Tenant(s) is liable.

11. USE OF LEASED PREMISES The leased premises shall be used as a single family private dwelling only. Tenant(s) shall not permit the leased premises or any part thereof to be used for (i) the conduct of any offensive, noisy, unlawful, or dangerous activity (ii) repair of any vehicle (iii) the conduct of any business of any type, including child care (iv) the conduct of any activity which violates any applicable deed, homeowners or subdivision restrictions (v) any purpose or in any manner which will obstruct, interfere with, or infringe on the rights of other persons near the leased premises.

There is no charge for this service provided the key is returned. ($25.00 charge if key is not returned within one business day.) A charge of $40.00 will be assessed for lock-outs occurring outside regular office hours. There will be a charge of $5.00 for each lost key or additional key requested. If the lock must be changed because of Tenant(s) neglect, including loss of keys, or failure to return all keys at the end of the lease, then a charge of $60.00 shall be assessed to the Tenant(s) for each lock replacement.

14. LIABILITY Landlord or Landlord’s Representative shall not be liable to Tenant(s), Tenant’s guests, or other occupants, for any damages, injuries, or losses to person or property caused by fire, flood, water leaks, ice, snow, hail, winds, explosion, smoke, interruption of utilities, theft, burglary, robbery, assault, vandalism, other persons, condition of the leased premises, or other occurrences unless such damage or injury is caused by the gross negligence of Landlord or Landlord’s Representatives.
