If, in Owner’s opinion, there exists an emergency or a violation of this Agreement exists, Owner may enter without notice at any time for any inspection, repair, or to determine the condition or occupancy of the premises. It is the intent of the parties hereto that this provision grant to Owner immediate access if Resident is in default of any term of this Agreement, immediate access if in Owner’s sole opinion giving notice could change an investigation, and that this provision be interpreted with the existing law to grant as broad and timely access as possible and permissible.

In the event Resident fails to notify Owner of any needed accommodation, Owner shall not be liable for damages suffered by Resident. It is agreed that Owner is under no obligation to accommodate Resident until proper notification with supporting documentation (if necessary) is provided to Owner and Owner has had the opportunity to grant or deny the accommodation or modification. Owner may deny any request that does not meet the necessary requirements, is not reasonable, or where insufficient information has been provided to establish the required elements of the request.

2.8 LIMITED LIABILITY

It is agreed that Owner will not be liable for any damages or losses to person or property caused by any Resident or any other person including, but not limited to, any theft, burglary, assault, vandalism, or other crimes. Resident agrees to be responsible for its own property and for its own safety. It is acknowledged and agreed that although Owner is responsible for the upkeep of common areas, parking lots, sidewalks, and areas of the community not subject to control by Resident, Resident agrees to accept liability and responsibility in the use of these areas. It is agreed that once Owner gives notice to Resident by any means of any potential hazard, it is Resident’s obligation to avoid the hazard or it assumes the risks of the hazard. It is acknowledged and agreed that Resident’s duty of care shall be significant as it pertains to its awareness of use of areas under control of Owner. 

It is the agreed intent of this Agreement (to the greatest extent allowed by law) that Owner shall not be liable for personal injury or for damage to or loss of Resident’s personal property (furniture, jewelry, clothing, etc.) unless caused by gross negligence of Owner, its agents, management, or assigns.

It is specifically mutually agreed that Owner shall NOT be liable for any damages (personal injury or to property) directly or indirectly caused by any other occupant, resident, tenant or guest.

OWNER RECOMMENDS THAT RESIDENT SECURE RENTERS INSURANCE TO PROTECT AGAINST ALL OF THE ABOVE OCCURRENCES. 

Owner shall hold Resident liable for any damages caused by Resident, its occupants, guests and/or invitees including but not limited to fire, flood, explosion, water damage, and pests. Owner strongly suggests and recommends that Resident obtain additional insurance to protect its own belongings. Resident agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Owner and its representatives from any and all liability for actions or inactions of Resident which cause damage or injury to any party or person. Resident agrees that locks and latches are acceptable subject to Owner’s duty to make needed repairs upon request of Resident. It is acknowledged and agreed that Resident had other options available for obtaining housing and chose to enter into this agreement with the limitation on liability of Owner. Further, Resident acknowledges that it had to qualify to enter into this agreement. Upon payment of a reasonable charge, Resident shall have the right to require Owner to change (re-key) a door-lock for a fee. Resident may not place its own locks on the Premises or devices which prevent Owner entry. Resident shall pay for and replace smoke detector and/or carbon monoxide detector batteries as needed. If Owner’s employees are requested to render services not contemplated in this Agreement, Resident agrees to hold Owner harmless for all liability regarding the same. Owner may provide security patrols and/or security equipment for the purpose of protecting its property. However, Owner will not provide any security for residents. Each Resident is responsible for its own personal security and the security of its property. It is acknowledged that the premises have been occupied and used by other individuals and that Owner cannot represent what such persons have had or done within the premises. Resident acknowledges that it will not hold Owner, its agents, or employees liable for prior actions within the premises by other occupants or their guests, including such actions that may have unknown continuing residual effects on the premises. Owner does not warrant that other tenants will have or maintain renter’s insurance, and shall not be liable for damages resulting from the actions of such other tenants. Rental insurance obtained by Resident must have a non-subrogation provision as against Owner and Owner’s insurance. Resident expressly agrees and understands that Resident will not be considered a co-insured under Owner’s commercial insurance policy for purposes of subrogation, and Resident agrees to be responsible for damage resulting from a fire, flood, explosion and water damage caused by Resident, its guests, occupants, and invitees. It is the intent of the parties that this section be applied so as to provide the maximum allowable protection from actions against Owner and that any provisions determined to violate law or policy be severed only to the minimal extent possible leaving all other provisions intact. No officer, director, shareholder, employee, or agent shall have personal liability under the terms of this agreement.  Resident agrees to look solely to Owner’s equity, interest and rights in the Premises for satisfaction of any claims or damages or other remedies of Resident. Owner shall not be liable for consequential or punitive damages. Additionally, Resident hereby agrees to hold Owner harmless from and to pay on demand all reasonable costs of repair or restoration resulting from any damage or destruction to the Premises, or the buildings of which Premises are part, the common areas, or any part thereof resulting from any act or omission of Resident, Resident’s guests, and/or any person on the Premises through or under Resident, including but not limited to damage or destruction resulting from leaving windows open during rain and storms, flows or water from pipes faucets or other sources, failure to turn off gas or electrical appliances or lights when not in use and littering of the premises or adjoining common areas.

3.1  EARLY VACATE

If Resident does not fulfill the entire initial term (even if such failure is due to eviction by Owner), Resident shall be liable to Owner for the costs incurred by Owner as a result of the early termination. These costs are in addition to the other damages and rent (including future rent) that may be assessed pursuant to this Agreement. They may include, but are not limited to: leasing agent costs, advertising expenses, turnover expenses, and such other costs incidental to re-renting the premises. If Resident vacates prior to the end of the initial term, all future rents under this Agreement shall accelerate and become immediately due. Resident shall additionally be responsible for damages, repayment of concessions, and such other provisions as contained herein. It is agreed that an eviction notice shall terminate occupancy but NOT the obligations to pay rent and other obligations under this Agreement. It is agreed that termination  notices pursuant to an eviction due to non-payment of rent or nuisance shall not relieve Resident from obligations for future rent until such time as the premises have been re-let or the expiration of the initial term whichever occurs first. Eviction at the end of a term shall still obligate Resident to pay for the time notice should have been given as required by this agreement for vacating the premises.

3.2 RENT INCREASES

If, during the lease term, taxes (non-property), utilities, governmental fees, or other common expenses paid by Owner increase in any year in excess of five percent (5%), Owner may increase Resident’s monthly rental amount in a prorate amount (formula to be determined by Owner) with thirty (30) days written notice. In addition, if any utility or governmental entity creates a new fee, tax, or assessment at any time during the tenancy, such amount may be assessed directly to Resident in a pro-rata amount as stated herein or as otherwise assessed by such entity. Business license fees may be directly passed on to Resident as they are imposed by any municipality. Payment of such amount is due five (5) days after Owner sends the billing. Owner may not assess Residents an amount greater than Owner is assessed. Owner may make any such assessments based upon a reasonable formula that requires one hundred percent of the new assessment to be paid by the Residents.

3.3 OWNER DEFAULT

Owner agrees to act with diligence to: (a) keep common areas reasonably clean, (b) maintain fixtures, furniture, hot water, heating equipment; (c) remain in substantial compliance with accepted federal, state and local laws regarding safety and sanitation; and (d) make all reasonable habitability repairs subject to Resident’s obligation to pay for damages caused by Resident, its guests, third parties, or other occupants. Resident must comply with the appropriate obligations under state and local laws relating to notification of Owner and any fit premises laws or ordinances for Owner to be in default.

3.4 RESIDENT DEFAULT

The following events shall constitute events of default: (a) failure to pay any rent, deposits or other amounts agreed to herein or any other sums due and owing by Resident to Owner pursuant to any terms of this Agreement and addendum; (b) failure to perform all or any part of this Agreement or a violation of this Agreement or any of the rules and regulations adopted by Owner or of any law; (c) Resident’s abandonment of the premises–abandonment is hereby agreed to mean Resident’s absence from the premises for fifteen (15) consecutive days without first notifying Owner in writing and with the rent unpaid and no reasonable evidence that Resident is occupying premises other than items of personal belongings left in said Premises OR by vacating the premises without providing appropriate notice; (d) violation by Resident, an occupant, or any guest of any state, federal, or local law or ordinance including the violation of any such law by an occupant or resident while living in the premises regardless of where the violation occurs; (e) allowing the property to be named on any listing relating to sex offenders; (f) Resident taking any action or failing to take any action which may jeopardize Owner’s status within any good landlord program; (g) if Resident holds over and fails to vacate on or before the required move-out date (i.e., the end of current lease term, the end of the month or any renewal or extension period, or the move-out date agreed to by both parties) Resident shall be liable to pay rent for the hold-over period and to indemnify Owner and/or prospective Resident for damages including rental loss, lodging expenses and attorney’s fees. Hold-over rent shall be immediately due on a daily basis and delinquent without notice or demand. Resident shall be liable to Owner for any and all costs incurred as a result of any breach by Resident. Notice of termination of housing assistance by any housing authority (if Resident’s qualification included such assistance) shall be deemed a default of this Agreement and grounds for immediate termination and eviction.

3.5 ILLEGAL ACTS

Resident may be evicted from the Premises without further notice or opportunity to cure for any illegal activity conducted by Resident, any occupant, or guest whether or not such activity is cited by a police authority. It shall be considered a breach of this Agreement for any Resident or occupant to commit a criminal act on the premises or elsewhere while an occupant of these premises. Prior undisclosed or unresolved criminal acts shall also be a breach. It is the responsibility of Resident to fully disclose all prior criminal activity, including but not limited to, convictions, pending charges, and plea bargains of all Occupants including minors. Resident has an affirmative duty to keep its premises from being reported on any Sex Offender’s list. Any such listing is grounds for immediate eviction.

3.6 LIEN

By this Agreement, Resident grants to Owner a security interest in any and all property which is placed on the property of Owner pursuant to the Resident’s occupancy of the Premises. This shall include any and all property in the Premises, storage areas, parking lots, common areas, or other Premises of Owner. The right to execute and take possession upon this security interest shall become effective upon any rent or fees being due and unpaid. Owner shall have the right to retain such property and utilize it to satisfy any monies due under this Agreement. Owner may file a security filing with any governmental agency as notice of this Lien. This security interest shall be deemed effective against all property in the premises and shall be in addition to the statutory Landlord’s Lien. Owner may inspect the Premises at any time that there is an unpaid balance due for purposes of preparing an inventory of the secured items. Sale of items under this provision may take place with seven (7) days written notice to the last known address of Resident. Resident agrees to waiver of notice of the sale, to the sale being a public auction, to the sale taking place at a location determined by Owner within the State, notices to be posted at the location of the sale and listed in the electronic version of any paper within the State, and to be held at such time and day as determined by Owner.

3.7 ABANDONMENT

In the event, Resident abandons any personal property on the premises with Owner; such abandoned property may be sold, donated, or disposed of by Owner as allowed by law. This shall include any and all property in the Premises, storage areas, parking lots, common areas, or other Premises of Owner.

All costs of cleaning, de-fleaing or other damage or loss suffered on account of a violation of this section shall be promptly paid to Owner by Resident. Violation of this provision will allow Owner to commence eviction on the basis of nuisance without any further notice or opportunity to cure. Resident is required to get approval for any companion or service animal PRIOR to the animal coming onto the premises. Failure to obtain prior approval is a significant violation of this agreement which shall allow for immediate eviction. Owner may create and maintain such rules and regulations relating to animals as Owner, in its sole discretion, determines appropriate.

Tenants may not abandon or vacate the leased premises at any time without the proper 30 day notice to vacate.

If a tenant is going to be absent from the premises for a period exceeding seven (7) days, formal written notice should be given to the management. This includes vacations, business trips, etc. Although the management does not incur a greater obligation as a result of such notice, it does allow for a more expedited response to problems. Such notice will also allow the management to take proper steps to notify you or your designated representative in the event of a problem during your absence.

7.5 ACCESS

In order to provide both routine and emergency maintenance service, management keeps a pass key to each of the premises. Service requests and work orders placed by a tenant, will be answered as quickly as possible. The Residential Rental Agreement requires that all maintenance requests be in writing.

When making a request, it is important to let management know if maintenance can enter your apartment “at any time,” or if you want to set up an appointment. Prior notice will be given before entering premises for routine maintenance.

The Residential Rental Agreement provides for management’s access to each premises.

Generally, this access will be limited to maintenance and scheduled inspections. However, if management, in its sole discretion, determines to inspect a premises for any or no cause, such inspection may take place at any time with or without notice.

Tenant agrees to maintain the locks in such a condition to allow the required access.

premises are deemed accepted and in proper condition (with the exception of properly noticed defects) forty-eight (48) hours after taking possession of the premises.

7.7 CHANGE IN POLICIES

From time to time, as deemed necessary, it becomes important to modify or change the rules and regulations to better suit the community’s needs. Once the change is effective and tenant’s have been notified, the new policy will be considered a formal part of the apartment rental agreement.

Notice of any such changes in rules and regulations may be given by publishing the new rules in any monthly newsletter, by posting the new rule on all community bulletin boards, or by posting or delivering the new rule to each Tenant at the premises. Thirty (30) days after such change is noticed, all tenants will be required to comply with the new rule.

7.10 INSURANCE

You may also be liable for damage caused to other tenant’s by your negligence. This may also be covered by renter’s insurance.

We are NOT responsible for damage or loss of your personal property kept or stored in your apartment. We STRONGLY encourage you to protect your personal property by taking out a renter’s insurance policy. You should arrange for your policy to take effect the same day you plan to move in.

7.11 WRITTEN INTENT TO VACATE

According to the Residential Rental Agreement, tenants must turn in a 30 day written “Intent to Vacate” notice before leaving their apartment. This must be done in order to fulfill your lease agreement. This form can be obtained from the office, where management can answer any questions concerning the move-out.

Before moving and after the premises have been cleaned, an inspection of the apartment with the office personnel must be completed. Please contact the office to set up an appointment. Tenants are responsible for rent until all keys are turned into the office and the premises are completely vacated.

The Intent to Vacate notice must be given thirty days in advance even if you are vacating at the end of the lease term. Giving the notice during the lease term will not release any tenant from the remaining term of the Residential Rental Agreement.

Generally, the notice must be given such that the tenant will be liable for rent through the end of the month in which the tenant is vacating.

7.12 LATE PAYMENTS

YOUR RENT IS DUE THE FIRST DAY OF EACH MONTH. Late fees are assessed as

provided in the Residential Rental Agreement. Rent is late that is paid after the first.

Dishonored checks will carry a service fee as allowed by law which will be assessed in addition to any late charges.

Management may serve a legal notice at any time when tenants owe funds pursuant to the Residential Rental Agreement. Notice fees as provided in the Residential Rental Agreement shall be assessed upon service.

7.13 LEASE TERMINATION

The Residential Rental Agreement automatically becomes a month to month tenancy unless tenant notifies management, in writing, 30 days before the end of the term. In order to terminate tenancy, Tenants must fill out a NOTICE TO VACATE form.

Any termination of the Residential Rental Agreement that is either during the term or after the term and improperly noticed, will result in tenant being responsible for costs incurred in re-letting the premises, as well as future rent through the term of the Residential Rental Agreement.

An early termination does result in additional costs to the Owner. These costs will be passed on to the tenant who does not fulfill the entire lease term or who fails to give proper notice. These costs include, but are not limited to: advertising costs, leasing costs, general maintenance costs, and administrative costs. Because these costs cannot always be exactly determined on a per apartment basis, a formula which includes the actual costs from the previous year and the known costs for this year is divided by the number of vacant units from last year to determine the early termination fee. This fee amount will vary according to the formula factors. Tenants may obtain the current early termination fee from management.

7.14 CHANGE IN NUMBERS OF OCCUPANTS

Tenant shall be responsible for reporting changes in family size or composition to the

management. All occupants must be on the lease or tenants will be in violation and may face eviction. The premises shall be used solely as a private dwelling.

Your apartment is to be used solely as a private dwelling. The number of occupants is not to exceed the number shown on the Residential Rental Agreement without prior written approval. Occupancy is considered as residing in the apartment three days or more in any one week period or five days in any one month.

Tenants agree not to permit any unlawful or immoral practice on the premises. Nor shall tenants permit the apartment to be used for any purpose which will injure the reputation of the community or which will disturb the tenants of your building or the inhabitants of the community.

Occupancy changes which are a result of pregnancy or adoption of a child requires written notification to management. Because there are specific occupancy standards for each unit, the addition of a new family member may result in more occupants than allowed.

However, management does reserve the right to require reasonable changes in either occupants or a move to another larger unit to maintain its occupancy standards.

7.15 OWNER LIABILITY

This Addendum is attached to and becomes a part of the Residential Lease Agreement.  For the duration of the Lease Agreement, Lessee is required to maintain and provide the following minimum required insurance coverage:

$100,000 Limit of Liability for Lessee’s legal liability for damage to the landlord’s property for no less than the following causes of loss: fire, smoke, explosion, backup or overflow of sewer, drain or sump, and water damage (“Required Insurance”).

Lessee is required to furnish Lessor with evidence of Required Insurance prior to occupancy of leased premises and at the time of each lease renewal period.  If at any time Lessee does not have Required Insurance, Lessee is in breach of the Lease Agreement and Lessor shall have, in addition to any other rights under the Lease Agreement, the right but not the obligation to purchase Required Insurance coverage and seek reimbursement from the Lessee for all costs and expenses associated with such purchase. 

Lessee may obtain Required Insurance from an insurance agent or insurance company of Lessee’s choice.  If Lessee furnishes evidence of such insurance and maintains the insurance for the duration of the Lease Agreement, then nothing more is required.  If Lessee does not maintain Required Insurance, the insurance requirement of this Lease Agreement may be satisfied by Lessor, who may schedule the Lessee’s unit for coverage under the Landlord’s Required Resident Liability insurance policy (“LRRL”).  The coverage provided under the LRRL will provide the Required Insurance coverage listed above.  An amount equal to the total cost to the Lessor for the LRRL coverage shall be charged to Lessee by the Lessor.  Some important points of this coverage, which Lessee should understand are:

  1. LRRL is designed to fulfill the insurance requirement of the Lease Agreement.  Lessor is the Insured under the LRRL.  Lessee is not the insured under the LRRL policy. 
  2. LRRL coverage is not personal liability insurance or renters insurance. Lessor makes no representation that LRRL covers the Lessee’s additional living expenses or liability arising out of bodily injury or property damage to any third party.  If Lessee requires any of these coverages, then Lessee should contact an insurance agent or insurance company of Lessee’s choice. 
  3. Coverage under the LRRL policy may be more expensive than the cost of Required Insurance obtainable by Lessee elsewhere.  At any time, Lessee may contact an agent of their choice for insurance options to satisfy the Required Insurance under this Lease Agreement. 
  4. Licensed insurance agents may receive a commission on the LRRL policy. 
  5. The total cost to the Lessee for the LRRL coverage shall be nine dollars and fifty cents Dollars ($9.50) per month.

Scheduling under the LRRL policy is not mandatory and Lessee may purchase Required Insurance from an insurance agent or insurance company of Lessee’s choice at any time and coverage under the LRRL policy will be terminated by the Lessor.
