D. Landlord shall not be required to repair or replace any property brought onto the Premises by Tenant(s).

Tenant(s) agrees to comply with all instructions and requirements necessary to prepare Premises to accommodate pest control, fumigation or other work,

12Landlord Initials (____)
Tenant(s) Initials (____)(____)(____)(____)



including bagging or storage of food and medicine, and removal of perishables and valuables. To the extent possible, Landlord shall give Tenant(s) at least 10 Days written notice of the need to vacate the Premises, which notice shall include Landlord’s best estimation of the length of time Landlord anticipates Tenant(s) will need to be absent from the Premises.

B. Tenant(s) agrees to vacate the Premises for the time necessary for the work to be completed, and if Tenant(s) needs to be absent from the Premises for more than 8 hours in any 24 hour period, relocate to alternative housing of the Landlord’s choosing. Landlord shall be responsible to pay for the alternative housing; however, Tenant(s) will remain responsible for all rent while Landlord is paying for alternative accommodations. If Tenant(s) elects to relocate temporarily to lodging other than that designated by Landlord, then Landlord shall have no obligation to pay the cost of such housing, which shall be at Tenant(s)’s sole cost and expense; although Tenant(s) shall have no obligation to pay rent during the time the Premises is not available to Tenant(s) during the repairs if Landlord is not paying for the alternative lodging, except as provided below in 31-C.

C. If the work or repairs are required because of the conduct of Tenant(s) or the conduct of Tenant(s)’s household, invitees or guests (such as misuse of plumbing, causing a fire, etc.), then Landlord shall be relieved of its obligation to pay for alternative accommodations set forth above and Tenant(s) shall remain responsible for both rent and the cost of alternative lodging during the time when Tenant(s) must vacate the Premises for any work to be completed.

D. Failure to vacate the Premises or otherwise cooperate with Landlord’s efforts to conduct repairs, renovations or other improvements at the Property is a material breach of this Lease and grounds for termination of this Lease Agreement.

Landlord recommends that Tenant(s) obtain a renter's insurance policy from a recognized insurance firm to cover Tenants' liability, personal property damage and damage to the Premises. Tenant(s) shall comply with any requirement imposed on Tenant(s) by Landlord’s insurer to avoid: (a) an increase in Landlord’s insurance premium (or Tenant shall pay for the increase in premium); or (b) loss of insurance.

▢Tenant(s) is/are encouraged to obtain renter’s insurance in an amount sufficient to cover any personal possessions of Tenant(s) together with a reasonable level of liability coverage for the actions of Tenant(s) or Tenant(s)’s guests or invitees.

Tenant(s) further acknowledges that Landlord has limited control over the living sanitary conditions of the Premises and that the sanitary conditions of the Premises are at the sole responsibility of the residing Tenant(s). Consequently, rats, mice, possums, and other rodents, will be taken care of at Landlord’s expense, under the condition that minimum sanitary conditions of the Premises are met and maintained by the Tenant(s). Any such lack of minimum sanitary standards, will mandate that all rodents, pests, insects, and vermin eradication to be paid for by Tenant(s).

Such actions and other necessary steps will impact the return of any security deposit. The Premises or common areas may be subject to a local non-smoking ordinance.

B. Tenant(s) must comply with all applicable laws and rules regarding smoking on the Premises. Landlord may change its Rules regarding smoking at any time by providing Tenant(s) with 30 day written notice. At the inception of this Lease Agreement (mark one of the following):

43. DUTY TO CLEAN AND VENTILATE:

Tenant(s) understands that the growth of mold & mildew is primarily due to conditions over which Tenant(s), not Landlord, has control, namely moisture and ventilation. Tenant(s) hereby acknowledges that mold and mildew can grow in the Premises if the Premises is not properly maintained and ventilated. Tenant(s) acknowledges that it is important that Tenant(s) regularly allow air to circulate in the Premises. Tenant(s) agrees to regularly allow air to circulate in the Premises by using bathroom fan(s), using ceiling fans, where available, and regularly opening the windows and/or sliding doors where available. Since it is common for mold and mildew to grow if even a small amount of moisture builds up, Tenant(s) also agrees to clean all toilets, sinks, countertops, showers, bathtubs and tile or linoleum floors with a household cleaner on a regular basis. Tenant(s) further agrees to notify Landlord immediately whenever Tenant(s) learns of any condition which could lead to a build up of moisture in Tenant(s)’s apartment, including, but not limited to plumbing leaks, broken window or door seals, accumulation of rainwater or other moisture around windows or doors, broken water lines or sprinklers, inoperable fans, doors or windows and/or any failure or malfunction in the heating, ventilation or air-conditioning system in the Premises.

45. WAIVER:

Landlord’s failure on any occasion to require strict compliance with any provision of this Lease or to exercise any rights arising under this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right subsequently to enforce any such provision or to insist upon any such right. The fact that Landlord may have accepted late payment(s) on one or more occasions shall not be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to insist upon timely payment of rent or to exercise any remedy available for late payment of rent. Acceptance of rent following a breach of this Lease Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of such breach. No custom or practice, which may develop between the Parties in the course of the tenancy shall be construed to waive the right of Landlord to enforce any provision of this Lease.

46. NOTICES:

Any notice that Landlord gives to Tenant(s) shall be deemed properly served (whether or not actually received by Tenant(s)) if served in the manner prescribed in Code of Civil Procedure Section 1162 (REPLACE BEFORE MENTIONED WITH YOUR STATE CIVIL CODE). Except as prohibited by law, if Landlord fails to serve the notice in accordance with the provisions of Code of Civil Procedure Section 1162 (REPLACE BEFORE MENTIONED WITH YOUR STATE CIVIL CODE), but Tenant(s) actually receives the notice, the actual receipt shall be deemed to cure any defects in the manner of service, and the notice shall be deemed properly and personally served. Service upon any of the Tenants of the Premises shall be deemed valid service upon all Tenants - it is not necessary to serve each Tenant individually unless otherwise required by law.

48. SAFETY CONCERNS:

A. Landlord makes no representations or guarantees to Tenant(s) concerning the security of the Premises or the Apartment Community.

Tenant(s) is responsible for planning and taking action with respect to the safety of Tenant(s) and their property.

B. Landlord has no obligation to obtain criminal background checks on any Tenant(s) or applicant(s) (whether past, present or future) and bears no responsibility or liability related to the criminal background or actions (whether past, present or future) of any person, even if Landlord has actually

18Landlord Initials (____)
Tenant(s) Initials (____)(____)(____)(____)



run a criminal background check on applicants. Tenant(s) shall not rely on the fact that Landlord may have run a criminal background check on Tenant(s) or any other applicant when deciding whether to enter into this Lease Agreement. Background checks are not a guarantee that a person with a criminal background does not reside at the Apartment Community or that someone living on the Property will not commit a crime in the future. Landlord has not made and does not make any representations as to the background of any existing or future Tenant(s).

C. Tenant(s) agrees to immediately report all suspected or actual criminal activity to the appropriate local law enforcement agencies and, after doing so, to Landlord, and shall provide Landlord with such law enforcement agency’s incident report number upon request. If Tenant(s) receives a copy of any law enforcement agency’s incident report for an incident that occurred on the Property and said incident impacted the Premises, the Property or other Tenants at the Property, Tenant(s) shall provide a copy of said incident report to Landlord upon request.

49. LIABILITY:

Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant(s) or to any guests or invitees of Tenant(s) for any damage or losses to person or property arising from any cause including, but not limited to, theft, burglary, assault, vandalism, fire, flood, water leaks, rain, hail, ice, snow, smoke, lightning, wind, explosion, interruption of utilities, earthquake, or any other condition over which the Landlord has no control.

50. INDEMNITY/HOLD HARMLESS:

Tenant(s) agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless, including costs of defense, from any claims arising out of any death or injury to any person, or any damage to property, if such injury or damage is caused directly or indirectly by the act, omission, negligence, or fault of Tenant(s) or Tenant(s)’s guests or invitee(s).

51. CHOICE OF LAW, JURISDICTION, AND VENUE:

This Lease Agreement is entered into in the city of [INSERT YOUR CITY & STATE], county of [INSERT YOUR COUNTY & STATE].

52. NON-DISCRIMINATION:

There shall be no discrimination against or segregation of, any persons on account of race, color, national origin, ancestry, creed, religion, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, genetic information, marital status, familial status, age, source of income, handicap, disability or any other protected classification under state or federal law, in the sale, lease, sublease, transfer, use, occupancy, tenure or enjoyment of the Premises.

53. SEVERABILITY AND PROVISIONS REQUIRED BY LAW:

If a provision, paragraph, or sentence of this Lease is legally invalid, or declared by a court to be unenforceable, such provision, paragraph, or sentence will be deemed deleted, and the rest of this Lease will remain in effect. To the extent any provision of this Lease Agreement is in direct conflict with any provisions of applicable law, such

19Landlord Initials (____)
Tenant(s) Initials (____)(____)(____)(____)



provision is hereby deleted. Any provision specifically required by applicable law, which is not included in this Lease, is hereby inserted as an additional provision of this Lease, but only to the extent required by applicable law and then only so long as the provision of the applicable law is not repealed or held invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction.

54. SUBORDINATION:

This Lease and all rights of Tenant(s) arising under it are expressly agreed to be subject and subordinate in all respects to the lien of any present or future mortgages which are or may be placed upon the Property and to all other rights acquired by the holder of any such mortgage(s). As used in this paragraph, the term “mortgage” shall include deeds of trust or any similar security interest.

55. SUCCESSORS IN INTEREST:

If the Property is sold or the ownership interest otherwise transferred, the successor in interest of Landlord shall be deemed the assignee of all rights arising under this Lease, and shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of this Lease against Tenant(s). Nothing in this provision shall be construed as conflicting or superseding the foregoing subordination or as requiring a continuation of the tenancy in the event of a foreclosure or other involuntary transfer of ownership.

56. CREDIT REPORTING:

Tenant(s) is notified that Tenant(s)’s performance as a tenant of this property may be reported to credit reporting agencies. And thus, failure to pay rent when due and/or in the event of an unlawful detainer action against Tenant(s) to regain possession of the Premises due to, but not limited to, default of payment of rent, may negatively affect Tenant(s) credit rating.

(2) Any repairs or alterations made to the Premises as a result of this inspection (collectively, “Repairs”) shall be made at Tenant(s)’s expense.
