preceding your request and we have complied with your request.
Special Provisions and "What If' Clause
11. SPECIAL PROVISIONS The following special provisions and any addenda or written rules furnished to you at
or before signing will become a part of this Lease Contract. These "Special Provisions" will override any sections
of this lease in conflict with the Special Provisions.
Good Neighbor Policy Mold addenda Early Move Out Crime Free Lease Resident Cost Sheet Utility
Addendum. Renter's Insurance Addendum
See page 9 for any additional special provisions.
12. EARLY MOVE-OUT RERENTING CHARGE You'll be liable to us for re-renting charges of $975.00 (not to
exceed 100% of the highest monthly rent during the Lease Contract term) if you:
(1) Fail to give written move-out notice as required in paragraphs 24 38; or
(2) Move out without paying rent in full for the entire Lease Contract term or renewal period; or
Initials of all Residents: f'/ ?/?? 111"e11 3
(3) Move out at our demand because of your default; or
(4) Are judicially evicted.
The re-renting charge is not a cancellation fee and does not relase you from your obligations under this Lease
Contract.
See the next paragraph.
Not a Release. The re-renting charge is not a Lease Contract cancellation fee or buyout fee. It is an agreed-to
estimate covering only part of our damages, that is, our time, effort, and expense in finding and processing a
replacement. These damages are uncertain and difficult to ascertain-particularly those relating to inconvenience,
paperwork, advertising, showing apartments, utilities for showing, checking prospects, office over-head, marketing
costs, and locator-service fees. You agree that the re-renting charge is a reasonable estimate of such damages
and that the charge is due whether or not our re-renting attempts succeed. If no amount is written in this lease
contract, you must pay our actual re-renting costs so far as they can be determined. The re-renting charge does
not release you from continued liability for: future or past due rent; charges for cleaning, repairing, repainting, or
unreturned keys; or other sums due.
13. DAMAGES AND REIMBURSEMENT You must promptly reimburse us for loss, damage, government fines, or
cost of repairs or service in the apartment community due to a violation of the Lease Contract or rules, improper
use, negligence, or intentional conduct by you or your invitees, guests or occupants. Unless the damage or
wastewater stoppage is due to our negligence we're not liable for-and you must pay for repairs replacement
costs, and damage to the following if occurring during the Lease Contract term or renewal period: (1) damage to
doors, windows, or screens (2) damage from windows or doors left open: and (3) damage from wastewater
stoppages caused by improper objects in lines exclusively serving your apartment We may require payment at
any time, including advanced payment of repairs for which you're liable. We have not waived our right to collect
these payments from you if there is a delay in our demanding payment from you. These damages and charges
are considered additional rent and payment is considered a condition of this Lease Contract.
14. PROPERTY LEFT IN APARTMENT "Apartment" excludes common areas but includes interior living areas
and exterior patios, balconies, attached garages, and storerooms for your exclusive use.
Removal After Surrender, Abandonment, or Eviction: We or law officers may remove and/or store all property
remaining in the apartment or in common areas (including any vehicles you or any occupant or guest owns or
uses) if you are judicially evicted or if you surrender or abandon the apartment (see definitions in paragraph 43).
Storage: We may store, but have no duty to store, property removed after judicial eviction, surrender, or
abandonment of the apartment. We're not liable for casualty loss, damage, or theft. You must pay reasonable
charges for our packing, removing, or storing any property.
Redemption: If we've removed and stored property after surrender, abandonment or judicial eviction, you may
redeem only by paying packing, removal and storage charges. We may return redeemed property at the place of
storage, the management office, or the apartment (at our option). We may require payment by cash, money order,
or certified check.
Disposition or Sale: Except for animals and property removed after the death of a sole resident, we may throw
away or give to a charitable organization all items of personal property that are: (1) left in the apartment after
surrender or abandonment; or (2) left outside more than 1 hour after eviction is completed. Animals removed after
surrender, abandonment, or eviction may be kenneled or turned over to local authorities or humane societies.
15. FAILING TO PAY FIRST MONTH'S RENT If you don't pay the first month's rent when or before the Lease
Contract begins, all future rent will be immediately due without notice. We also may end your right of occupancy
and recover damages, future rent, re-renting charges, attorney's fees, court costs, and other lawful charges. Our
rights and remedies under paragraphs 12 and 33 apply to acceleration of rent payments under this paragraph.
16. RENT INCREASES AND LEASE CONTRACT CHANGES No rent increases or Lease Contract changes are
allowed before the initial Lease Contract term ends, except for changes allowed by any special provisions in
paragraph 11, by a written addendum or amendment signed by you and us, or by reasonable changes of
a
Initials of all Residents: J?/G? 4
apartment rules allowed under paragraph 19. If, at least 5 days before the advance notice period referred to in
paragraph 4, we give you written notice of rent increases or Lease Contract term or renewal period ends, this
Lease Contract will automatically continue month-to-month with the increased rent or Lease Contract changes.
The new modified Lease Contract will begin on the date stated in the notice (without necessity of your signature)
unless you give us written move-out notice under paragraph 38.
17. DELAY OF OCCUPANCY If occupancy is or will be delayed for construction, repairs, cleaning, or a previous
resident's holding over, we're not responsible for the delay. The Lease Contract will remain in force subject to: (1)
reduction of rent on a daily basis during delay; and (2) your right to remain as set forth below. Termination notice
must be in writing. After termination, you are entitled only to refund of deposit(s) and any rent paid. Rent reduction
or Lease Contract termination does not apply if delay is for cleaning or repairs that don't prevent you from
occupying the apartment.
If there is a delay and we haven't given notice of delay as set forth immediately below, you may terminate up to
the date when the apartment is ready for occupancy, but not later.
(1) If we give written notice to any of you when or after the initial term as set forth in this lease contract -
and the notice states that occupancy has been delayed because of construction or a previous
resident's holding over, and that the apartment will be ready on a specific date-you may terminate the
Lease Contract within 3 days of your receiving the notice, but not later.
(2) If we give written notice to any of you before the initial term as set forth in Paragraph 4 and the notice
states that construction delay is expected and that the apartment will be ready for you to occupy on a
specific date, you may terminate the Lease Contract within 7 days after any of you receives written
notice, but not later. The readiness date is considered the new initial term as set forth in Paragraph 4
for all purposes. This new date may not be moved to an earlier date unless we and you agree.
18. DISCLOSURE RIGHTS If someone requests information on you or your rental history for law-
enforcement, governmental, or business purposes, we may provide it.
While you are living in the Apartment
19. COMMUNITY POLICIES OR RULES You and all guests and occupants must comply with any written
apartment rules and community policies, including instructions for care of our property. Our rules are
considered part of this Lease Contract. We may make reasonable changes to written rules, effective
immediately, if they are distributed and applicable to all units in the apartment community and do not change
dollar amounts on page 1 of this Lease Contract.
20. LIMITATIONS ON CONDUCT The apartment and other areas reserved for your private use must be kept
clean. Trash must be disposed of at least weekly in appropriate receptacles in accordance with local
ordinances. Passageways may be used only for entry or exit. Any swimming pools, saunas, spas, tanning
beds, exercise rooms, storerooms, laundry rooms, and similar areas must be used with care in accordance
with apartment rules and posted signs. Glass containers are prohibited in or near pools and all common
areas. You, your occupants, or guests may not anywhere in the apartment community: use candles or use
kerosene lamps without our prior written approval; cook on balconies or outside; or solicit business or

apartment community is prohibited-except that any lawful business conducted "at home" by computer, mail, or
telephone is permissible if customers, clients, patients, or other business associates do not come to your
apartment for business purposes. We may regulate: (1) the use of patios, balconies, and porches; (2) the
conduct of furniture movers and delivery persons; and (3) recreational activities in common areas.
We may exclude from the apartment community, to the extent permitted by Pennsylvania statutes, guests or
other who, in our judgment, have been violating the law, violating this Lease Contract or any apartment rules,

released from this Lease Contract for any reason-including but not limited to voluntary or involuntary school
withdrawal or transfer, voluntary or involuntary job transfer, marriage, separation, divorce, reconciliation, loss
of co-residents, loss of employment, bad health, or death.
24. MILITARY PERSONNEL CLAUSE You may terminate the Lease Contract if you enlist or are drafted or
commissioned and on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces. You also may terminate the Lease Contract if:
(1) you are (i) a member of the U.S. Armed Forces or reserves on active duty or (ii) a member of the
National Guard serving on full-time duty or as a civil service technician with a National Guard Unit;
and
(2) you (i) receive orders for permanent change-of-station, (ii) receive orders to deploy with a military unit
on a military operation for 90 days or more, or (iii) are relieved or released from active duty.(iv) have
received orderes for mandatory housing assignment to government-supplied quarters resulting in
forfeiture of basic allowance for housing.
After you deliver to us your written termination notice, the Lease Contract will be terminated under this military
clause 30 days after the receipt of notice. You must furnish us a copy of your military orders, such as
Initials of all Residents: kP__ f?t?l 6
permanent change-of-station orders, call-up orders, or deployment orders or written notification from your
commanding officer. Military permission for base housing does not constitute change-of-station order. After
you move out, we'll return your security deposit, less lawful deductions. For the purposes of this Lease
Contract, orders described in (2) above will only release the resident who qualifies under (1) and (2) above
and receives the orders during the Lease Contract term and such resident's household. A co-resident who is
not your spouse or legal dependents cannot terminate under this military clause. Unless you state otherwise
in paragraph 10, you represent when signing this Lease Contract that: (1) you do not already have
deployment or change-of-station orders; (2) you will not be retiring from the military during the Lease Contract
term; (3) the term of your enlistment or obligation will not end before the Lease Contract term ends. Even if
you are entitled to terminate this Lease Contract under this paragraph, liquidated damages for making a false
representation of the above will be the amount of unpaid rent for the remainder of the lease term when and if
you move out, less rents from others received in mitigation under paragraph 33. You must immediately notify
us if you are called to active duty or receive deployment or permanent change-of-station orders.
25. RESIDENT SAFETY AND PROPERTY LOSS You and all occupants and guests must exercise due care
for your own and others' safety and security, especially in the use of smoke detectors, keyed deadbolt locks,
keyless bolting devices, window latches, and other safety or security devices. You agree to make every effort
to follow the Security Guidelines on page 7.
Smoke Detectors: We'll furnish smoke detectors as required by statute, and we'll test them and provide
working batteries when you first take possession. After that, you must pay for and replace batteries as
needed, unless the law provides otherwise. You must test automatic fire alarms at the beginning of your lease
term and monthly thereafter. We may replace dead or missing batteries at your expense, without prior notice
to you. You must immediately report smoke detector malfunctions to us. Neither you nor others may disable
smoke detectors. If you damage or disable the smoke detector or remove a battery without replacing it with a
working battery, you may be liable to us for $100 plus one month's rent, actual damages, and attorney's fees.
If you disable or damage the smoke detector, or fail to replace a dead battery or report malfunctions to us,
you will be liable to us and others for any loss, damage, or fines from fire, smoke, or water.
Casualty Loss: We're not liable to any resident, guest or occupant for personal injury or damage or loss of
personal property from an cause, including but not limited to : fire, smoke, rain, flood, water and pipe leaks,
hail, ice snow, lightning, wind, explosions, interruption of utilities, theft, or vandalism unless otherwise required
by law. We have no duty to remove any ice, sleet, or snow but may remove any amount with or without
notice. Unless we instruct otherwise, you must-for 24 hours a day during freezing weather-(1) keep the
apartment heated to at least 50degrees; (2) keep cabinet and closet doors open; and (3) drip hot and cold
water faucets. You'll be liable for damage to our and other's property if damage is caused by broken water
pipes due to your violating these requirements. If you ask our representatives to perform services not
contemplated in this Lease Contract, you will indemnify us and hold us harmless from all liability for these
services.
Crime or Emergency: Dial 911 or immediately call local medical emergency, fire, or police personnel in case
of accident, fire, smoke, or suspected criminal activity, or other emergency involving imminent harm. You
should then contact our representative. You won't treat any of our security measures as an express or implied
warranty of security, or as a guarantee against crime or of reduced risk of crime. Unless otherwise provided
by law, we're not liable to you or any guests or occupants for injury, damage, or loss to person or property
caused by criminal conduct of other persons, including, theft, burglary, assault, vandalism, or other crimes.
We're not obliged to furnish security personnel, security lighting, security gates or fences, or other forms of
security unless required by statute. We're not responsible for obtaining criminal-history checks on any
residents, occupants, guests, or contractors in the apartment community. If you or any occupant or guest is
affected by a crime, you must make a written report to our representative and to the appropriate local law-
enforcement agency. You also must furnish us with the law-enforcement agency's incident report number
upon request.
26. CONDITION OF THE PREMISES AND ALTERATIONS You accept the apartment, fixtures, and furniture
as is, except for conditions materially affecting the health or safety of ordinary persons. We disclaim all
implied warranties except those required by Pennsylvania statutes. You'll be given an Inventory and Condition
form on or before move-in. Within 48 hours after move-in, you must note on the form all defects or damage
and return it to our representative. Otherwise, everything will be considered to be in a.c.lean, safe,-and good .
working condition.
Initials of all Residents: /41

You must use customary diligence in maintaining the apartment and not damaging or littering the common
areas. Unless authorized by statute or by us in writing, you must not perform any repairs, painting,
wallpapering, carpeting, electrical changes, or otherwise alter our property. No holes or stickers are allowed
inside or outside the apartment, but we'll permit a reasonable number of small nail holes for hanging pictures
on sheetrock wall and in grooves of wood-paneled walls, unless our rules state otherwise. No water furniture,
washing machines, additional phone or TV-cable outlets, alarm systems, or lock changes, additions, or
rekeying is permitted unless statutorily allowed or we've consented in writing. You may install a satellite dish
condition upon signing a addendum which complies with reasonable restrictions allowed by federal law. You
agree not to alter, damage, or remove our property, including alarm systems, smoke detectors, furniture,
telephone and cable TV wiring, screens, locks and security devices. When you move in, we'll supply light
bulbs for fixtures we furnish, including exterior fixtures operated from inside the apartment; after that, you'll
replace them at your expense with bulbs of the same type and wattage. Your improvements to the apartment
(whether or not we consent) become ours unless we agree otherwise in writing.
27. REQUESTS. REPAIRS AND MALFUNCTIONS IF YOU OR ANY OCCUPANT NEEDS TO SEND A
NOTICE OR REQUEST-FOR EXAMPLE FOR REPAIRS INSTALLATIONS SERVICES OR SECURITY
RELATED MATTERS-IT MUST BE SIGNED AND IN WRITING TO OUR DESIGNATED REPRESENTATIVE
(except in case of fire, smoke, gas, explosion, overflowing sewage, uncontrollable running water, electrical
shorts, or crime in progress). Our written notes on your oral request do not constitute a written request from
you.
Our complying with or responding to any oral request regarding security or non-security matters doesn't waive
the strict requirement for written notices under this Lease Contract. You must promptly notify us in writing of:
water leaks; electrical problems; malfunctioning lights; broken or missing locks or latches; and other
conditions that pose a hazard to property, health, or safety. We may change or install utility lines or equipment
serving the apartment if the work is done reasonably without substantially increasing your utility costs. We
may turn off equipment and interrupt utilities as needed to avoid property damage or to perform work. If
utilities malfunction or are damaged by fire, water, or similar cause, you must notify our representative as
soon as possible on a business day. We'll act with customary diligence to make repairs and reconnections.
Rent will not abate in whole or in part unless authorized under Pennsylvania law.
If we believe that fire or catastrophic damage is substantial, or that performance of needed repairs poses a
danger to you, we may terminate this Lease Contract within a reasonable time by giving you written notice. If
the Lease contract is so terminated, we'll refund prorated rent and all deposits, less lawful deductions.
28. ANIMALS No animals (including mammals, reptiles, birds, fish, rodents and insects) are allowed, even
temporarily, anywhere in the apartment or apartment community unless we've so authorized in writing. If we
allow an animal, you must sign a separate animal addendum, which may require additional deposit, rents,
fees or other changes. You must remove an illegal animal within 24 hours of notice from us, or you will be
considered in default of this Lease Contract. We will authorize a support animal for a disabled (handicapped)
person. We may require a written statement from a qualified professional verifying the need for the support
animal. You must not feed stray or wild animals.
If you or any guest or occupant violates animal restrictions (with or without your knowledge), you'll be subject
to charges, damages, eviction, and other remedies provided in this Lease Contract. If an animal has been in
the apartment at any time during your term of occupancy (with or without our consent), we'll charge you for
defleaing, deodorizing, and shampooing. Initial and daily animal-violation charges and animal-removal
charges are liquidated damages for our time, inconvenience, and overhead (except for attorney's fees and
litigation costs) in enforcing animal restrictions and rules. We may remove an unauthorized animal by
following the procedures of paragraph 33.
29. WHEN WE MAY ENTER If you or any guest or occupant is present, the repairs, servicers, contractors,
our representatives, or other persons listed in (2) below may peacefully enter the apartment at reasonable
times for the purposes listed in (2) below. If nobody is in the apartment, then such persons may enter
peacefully and at reasonable times by duplicate or master key (or by breaking a window or other means when
necessary) if:
(9) written notice of the entry- is left in a conspicuous place in the apartment immediately after the entry;
and
Initials of all Residents:

(2) entry is for: responding to your request; making repairs or replacements; estimating repair or
refurbishing costs; performing pest control; doing preventive maintenance; changing filters; testing or
replacing smoke-detector batteries; retrieving unreturned tools, equipment, or appliances; preventing
waste of utilities; leaving notices; delivering, installing, reconnecting, or replacing appliances,
furniture, equipment, or security devices; removing or rekeying unauthorized security devices;

resident (after move-out or vacate notice has been given); or showing apartment to government
inspectors, fire marshals, lenders, appraisers, contractors, prospective buyers, or insurance agents.
30. MULTIPLE RESIDENT OR OCCUPANTS You are individually responsible for all Lease Contract
obligations. You are also responsible for all other residents' Lease Contract obligations. If you or any guest or
occupant violates the Lease Contract or rules, all residents are considered to have violated the Lease
Contract. Our requests and notices (including sale notices) to any resident constitute notice to all residents
and occupants. Notices and requests from any resident or occupant (including notices of Lease Contract
termination, repair request, and entry permissions) constitute notice from all residents. In eviction suits, each
resident is considered the agent of all other residents in the apartment for service of process. Security deposit
refunds may be by one check jointly payable to all residents; the check and any deduction itemizations may
be mailed to one resident only.
Replacements
31. REPLACEMENTS AND SUBLETTING Replacing a resident, sub-letting, or assignment is allowed only
when we consent in writing. If departing or remaining residents find a replacement resident acceptable to us
before moving out and we expressly consent to the replacement, subletting, or assignment, then:
(1) a re-renting charge will not be due;
(2) an administrative (paperwork) fee will be due, and a rekeying fee will be due if rekeying is requested
or required; and
(3) you will remain liable for all Lease Contract obligations for the rest of the original Lease Contract
term.
Procedures for Replacement: If we approve a replacement resident, then, at our option: (1) the replacement
resident must sign this Lease Contract with or without an increase in the total security deposit; or (2) the
remaining and replacement residents must sign an entirely new Lease Contract. Unless we agree otherwise
in writing, your security deposit will automatically transfer to the replacement resident as of the date we
approve. The departing resident will no longer have a right to occupancy or a security deposit refund, but will
remain liable for the remainder of the original Lease Contract term unless we agree otherwise in writing-even
if a new Lease Contract is signed.
Responsibilities of Owner and Resident
32. RESPONSIBILITIES OF OWNER We'll act with customary diligence to:
(1) keep common areas reasonably clean, subject to paragraph 26;
(2) maintain fixtures, furniture, hot water, heating and A/C equipment;
(3) substantially comply with applicable federal, state, and local laws regarding safety, sanitatim, and fair
housing; and
(4) make all reasonable repairs, subject to your obligation to pay for damages for which you are liable.
Initials of all Residents:
9
If we violate any of the above, you may terminate this Lease Contract and exercise other remedies under
state statute by following this procedure:
(a) you must make a written request for repairs or remedy of the condition, and all rent must be
current at the time;
(b) after receiving the request, we have a reasonable time to repair, considering the nature of the
problem and the reasonable availability of materials, labor and utilities.
33. DEFAULT BY RESIDENT You'll be in default if you or any guest or occupant violates any terms of this Lease
Contract including but not limited to the following violations: (1) you don't pay rent or other amounts that you owe
when due; (2) you or any guest or occupant violates the apartment rules, or fire, safety, health, or criminal laws,
regardless of whether arrest or conviction occurs; (3) you abandon the apartment; (4) you give incorrect or false
answers in a rental application; (5) you or any occupant is arrested, convicted, or given deferred adjudication for a
felony offense involving actual or potential physical harm to a person, or involving possession, manufacture, or
delivery of a controlled substance, marihuana, or drug paraphernalia; (6) any illegal drugs or paraphernalia are
found in your apartment; (7) you or any guest or occupant engages in any of the prohibited conduct described in
paragraph 21; or (8) you or any occupant, in bad faith, makes an invalid complaint to an official or employee of a
utility company or the government.
Eviction: Termination of your possession rights or subsequent re-renting doesn't release you from liability for
future rent or other Lease Contract obligations. After filing an eviction suit, we may still accept rent or other sums
due; the filing or acceptance doesn't waive or diminish our right of eviction, or any other contractual or statutory
right. Accepting money at any time doesn't waive our right to damages; pastor future rent or other sums; or to
continue with eviction proceedings. However, we will accept past due rent and costs at any time prior to eviction
being completed as required by Pennsylvania statutes.
WAIVER OF NOTICE: If the Landlord desires to start a Court action to recover possession for nonpayment of
rent or for any other reason, the Tenant specifically waives any notice period contained in Section 501 of the
Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951, as amended, 68 P.S. 250.101 et seq., or any other notice period established by
law. THEREFORE, THE LANDLORD MAY FILE SUIT AGAINST THE TENANT WITHOUT NOTICE IF THE
TENANT BREACHES THIS LEASE AGREEMENT, AND TENNAT AGREES THAT NO NOTICE IS REQUIRED.
Acceleration: All monthly rent for the rest of the Lease Contract term or renewal period will be accelerated
automatically without notice or demand (before or after acceleration) and will be immediately due and delinquent
if, without our written consent: (1) you move out, remove property in preparing to move out, or give written notice
(by you or any occupant) of intent to move out before the Lease Contract term or renewal period ends; and (2)
you've not paid all rent for the entire Lease Contract term or renewal period. Such conduct is considered a default
for which we need not give you notice. Remaining rent also will be accelerated if you're judicially evicted or move
out when we demand because you've defaulted. You will be refunded any future rent payments you have made
because you defaulted on the lease as long as a new tenant is found. You will still be liable for rent for the period
of time during which no tenant is living in the unit. We will attempt, to the extent required under Pennsylvania Law,
to find a new tenant to rent the unit.
Holdover: You or any occupant, invitee, or guest must not hold over beyond the date contained in your move-out
notice or our notice to vacate (or beyond a different move-out date agreed to by the parties in writing). If a
holdover occurs, then; (1) holdover rent is due in advance on a daily basis and may become delinquent without
notice or demand; (2) rent for the holdover period will be increased by 150% over the then-existing rent, without
notice; (3) you'll be liable to us for all rent for the full term of the previously signed Lease Contract of a new
resident who can't occupy because of the holdover; and (4) at our option, we may extend the Lease Contract
term-for up to one month from the date of notice of Lease Contract extension-by delivering written notice to you or
your apartment while you continue to hold over.
Other Remedies: If your rent is delinquent and we give you prior written notice, we may terminate electricity that
we've furnished at our expense, by following applicable Pennsylvania law, unless governmental regulaticns on
submetering or utility proration provide otherwise. We may report unpaid amounts to credit agencies. If you
default and move out early, you will pay us any amounts stated to be rental discounts in paragraph 11, in addition
to other sums due..Upon your default, we have all other legal remedies, including Lease Contract termination. If
allowed by Pennsylvania law, the prevailing party, in a lawsuit under this contract, may recover from the non-
Initials of all Residents: ??/?i? 10
prevailing party attorney's fees and all other litigation costs. Late charges are liquidated damages for our time,
inconvenience, and overhead in collecting late rent (but are not for attorney's fees and litigation costs). All unpaid
amounts bear 18% interest per year from due date, compounded annually. You must pay all collection-agency
fees if you fail to pay all sums due within 10 days after we mail you a letter demanding payment and stating that
collection agency fees will be added if you don't pay all sums by that deadline.
Mitigation of Damages: If you move out early, you'll be subject to paragraph 12 and all other remedies. We'll
exercise customary diligence to re-rent and minimize the amount you owe us. We'll credit all subsequent rent that
we actually receive from subsequent resident against your liabilityfor past-due and future rent and other sums
due.
General Clauses
34. MISCELLANEOUS Neither we nor any of our representatives have made any oral promises,
representations, or agreements. This Lease Contract is the entire agreement between you and us. Our
representatives (including management personnel, employees, and agents) have no authority to waive,
amend, or terminate this Lease Contract or any part of it, unless in writing and no authority to make
promises, representations, or agreements that impose security duties or other obligations on us or our
representatives unless in writing. No action or omission of our representative will be considered a waiver
or any subsequent violation, default, or time or place of performance. Our not enforcing or belatedly
enforcing written-notice requirement, rental due dates, acceleration, liens, or other rights isn't a waiver
under any circumstances. Except when notice or demand is required by statute, you waive any notice and
demand for performance from us if you default. Written notice to or from our managers constitutes notice
to or from us. Any person giving a notice under this Lease Contract should retain a copy of the memo,
letter, or fax that was given. Fax signatures are binding. All notices must be signed. Notices may not be
given by email.
If we exercise our legal right against you, we still have all other legal rights available in any legal proceeding
against you. No employee, agent, or Management Company is personally liable for any of our contractual,
statutory, or other obligations merely by virtue of acting on our behalf. This Lease Contract binds subsequent
owners. Neither an invalid clause nor the omission of initials on any page invalidates this Lease Contract. All
notices and documents may be in English and, at our option, in any language that you read or speak. All previous
regarding our non-liability and non-duty apply to our employees, agents and management companies. This Lease
Contract is subordinate or superior to existing and future recorded mortgages, at lender's option. All Lease
Contract obligations must be performed in the county where the apartment is located.
Cable channels that are provided may be changed during the Lease Contract term if the change applies to all
residents. Utilities may be used only for normal household purposes and must not be wasted. If your electricity is
ever interrupted, you must use only battery-operated lighting.
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL: To minimize legal expenses and, to the extent allowed by law, you and we agree that
a trial of any lawsuit based on statute common law, and/or related to this Lease Contract shall be to a judge and
not a jury.
35. PAYMENTS You are required to pay rent whether or not we fulfill our lease obligations under this contract. At
our option and without notice, we may apply money received (other than sale proceeds under paragraph 14 or
utility payments subject to governmental regulations) first to any of your unpaid obligations, then to current rent
regardless of notations on checks or money orders and regardless of when the obligations arose. All sums other
than rent are due upon our demand. After the due date, we do not have to accept the rent or any other payments.
36. NAA MEMBERSHIP We represent that, at the time of signing this Lease Contract or a Lease Contract
Renewal Form: (1) we; (2) the management company that represents us; (3) any locator service that procured
you is a member in good standing of both the National Apartment Association and the affiliated local Apartment
Association for the area where the apartment is located.
Security Guidelines for Residents
Initials of all Residents: _A5 I;? //,? /?-- ??
37. SECURITY GUIDELINES In cooperation with the National Apartment Association, we'd like to give you some
important safety guidelines. We recommended that you follow these guidelines and use common sense in
practicing safe condpct. Inform all other occupants in your dwelling, including any children you may have, about
these guidelines.
PERSONAL SECURITY- WHILE INSIDE YOUR APARTMENT
1. Lock your doors and windows-even while you're inside.
2. Engage the keyless deadbolts on all doors while you're inside.
3. When answering the door, see who is there by looking through a window or peephole. If you don't know
the person, first talk with him or her without opening the door. Don't open the door if you have any doubts.
4. If children (who are old enough to take care of themselves) are left alone in your apartment, tell them to
use the keyless deadbolt and refuse to let anyone inside while you are gone-regardless of whether the
person is a stranger or an apartment maintenance or management employee.
5. Don't put your name, address, or phone number on your key ring.
6. If you're concerned because you've lost your key or because someone you distrust has a key, ask the
management to rekey the locks. You have a statutory right to have that done, long as you pay for the
rekeying.
7. Dial 911 for emergencies. If the 911 number does not operate in your area, keep phone numbers handy
for the police, fire, and emergency medical services. If an emergency arises, call the appropriate
governmental authorities first, and then call the management.
8. Check your smoke detector monthly to make sure it is working properly and the batteries are still okay.
9. Check your door locks, window latches, and other devices regularly to be sure they are working properly.
10. If your doors or windows are unsecure due to break-ins or malfunctioning locks or latches, stay with
friends or neighbors until the problem is fixed.
11. Immediately report to management-in writing, dated and signed-any needed repairs of locks, latches,
doors, windows, smoke detectors, and alarm systems.
12. Immediately report to management-in writing, dated and signed-any malfunction of other safety devices
outside your apartment, such as broken gate locks, burned-out lights in stairwells and parking lots,
blocked passages, broken railings, etc.
13. Close curtains, blinds, and window shades at night.
14. Mark or engrave your driver's license number or other identification on valuable personal property.
PERSONAL SECURITY- WHILE OUTSIDE YOUR APARTMENT
15. Lock your doors while you're gone. Lock any door handle lock, keyed deadbolt lock, sliding door pin
lock, sliding door handle latch, and sliding door bar that you have.
16. Leave a radio TV playing softly while you're gone.
17. Close and latch your windows while you're gone, particularly when you're on vacation.
18. Tell your roommate or spouse where you're going and when you'll be back.
19. Don't walk alone at night. Don't allow your family to do so.
n
Initials of all Residents: I, `lY 12
20. Don't hide a key under the doormat or a nearby flowerpot. These are the first places a burglar will look.
21. Don't give entry keys, codes or electronic gate cards to anyone.
22. Use lamp timers when you go out in the evening or go away on vacation. They can be purchased at
most hardware stores.
23. Let the manager and your friends know if you'll be gone for an extended time. Ask your neighbors to
watch your apartment since the management cannot assume that responsibility.
24. While on vacation, temporarily stop your newspaper and mail delivery, or have your mail and newspaper
picked up daily by a friend.
PERSONAL SECURITY WHILE USING YOUR CAR
25. Carry your door key in your hand, whether it is daylight or dark, when walking to your entry door. You are
more vulnerable when looking for your keys at the door.
26. Lock your car doors while driving. Lock your car doors and roll up the windows when leaving your car
parked.
27. Don't leave exposed items in your car, such as compact discs, wrapped packages, briefcases, money,
or purses.
28. Don't leave your keys in the car.
29. Carry your key ring in your hand whenever you are walking to your car-whether it is daylight or dark and
whether you are at home, school, work, or on vacation.
30. Always park in a well-lighted area. If possible, try to park your car in an off-street parking area rather
than on the street.
31. Check the backseat before getting into your car.
32. Be careful when stopping at gas stations or automatic-teller machines at night-or anytime when you
suspect danger.
PERSONAL SECURITY AWARENESS: No security system is failsafe. Even the best systems can't
prevent crime. Always act as if security systems don't exist since they are subject to malfunction,
tampering, and human error. We disclaim any expressed or implied warranties of security. The
best safety measures are the ones you perform as a matter of common sense habit.
When Moving Out
38. MOVE-OUT NOTICE Before moving out you must give our representative advance written move-out
notice as provided below. Your move-out notice will not release you from liability for the full term of the Lease

writing. You won't move out before the Lease Contract term or renewal period ends unless all rent for the

and acceleration of future rent under paragraphs 12 and 33. You're prohibited from applying any security
deposit to rent. You won't stay beyond the date you are supposed to move out. All residents, guests, and
occupants must abandon the apartment before the 30-day period for deposit refund begins. You must give us

kitchen appliances, patios, balconies, garages, carports, and storage rooms. You must follow move out
cleaning instructions if they have been provided. If you don't clean adequately, you'll be liable for reasonable
cleaning charges.
41. MOVE-OUT INSPECTION You should meet with our representative for a move-out inspection. Our
representative has no authority to bind or limit us regarding deductions for repairs, damages, or charges. Any
statements or estimate by us or our representative are subject to our correction, modification, or disapproval
before final refunding or accounting.
