1. Term. In consideration of the provisions of this Lease, we lease to you and you lease from us the Property for
the Term. Note that the last month of your Term may be less than a full calendar month. In such instances, we
have divided the Rent in to equal monthly installments as a convenience only and Rent will not be prorated for the
final month.
If you or we wish to cancel this Lease at the end of the Term, the party that wishes to cancel must give the
other party at least 30 days’ written notice prior to the end of the Term.
Otherwise, this Lease will convert to a month-to-month tenancy on the same terms and conditions as this
Lease, provided, however that the Rent shall increase to 110% of the Rent at the end of the Term. If Tenant does
not vacate the Property by the end of the Term, prorated Rent plus $100.00 per day will be assessed for each
hold-over day.
We will not discuss the terms of this Lease with any guarantor or other party on behalf of Tenant.
If we are able to give you possession of the Property before the first day of the Term and you desire to take
possession of the same, you shall pay Rent equal to one-thirtieth (1/30) of the monthly installment multiplied by
the number of days of the partial month. All other provisions of this Lease shall apply during that period as though
the Term were extended to cover it.
If we cannot have the Property ready for you by the first day of the Term for any reason, we are not liable
to you for damages, but you will not be required to pay any Rent until the Property is available. If we are not able
to deliver possession of the Property to you within 30 calendar days after the first day of the Term, we or you may
cancel the Lease without any further obligation and be refunded your Security Deposit.
2. Rent. You agree to pay us Rent equal to the total monthly rent amount stated at the beginning of this Lease.
Rent shall be paid by check, credit card or cashiers’ check only and shall be due monthly in advance on the first
(1st) day of each month of the Term, without deduction or offset unless permitted by law. Payments shall be made
to Landlord at the following address: 311 Howell Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio 45220. If this Lease is with multiple
Tenants, we will only accept the full Rent amount in the form of a single payment.
If you fail to pay the Rent in full on or before the first (1st) day of the month, we may, at our option, accept
a late Rent payment. If we decide at our sole discretion to accept a late Rent payment and you make your late Rent
payment after the fifth (5th) day of the month, you agree to pay us, in each instance and as additional Rent, the Late
Charge for our extra expenses, which amount shall be immediately due and payable.
If you pay your Rent by check and the check is returned to us for any reason, you agree to pay us, in each
instance and as additional Rent, $40.00 for extra expenses.
The additional Rent payments described in the preceding two paragraphs shall be cumulative.
3. Security Deposit. You are depositing the Security Deposit with us as security for the faithful performance of
the Lease. The Security Deposit will serve as a fund from which we may reimburse ourselves to compensate for
unreasonable wear and tear of the Property on your part, unpaid Rent and/or fees, for cleaning of the Property, for
key or lock replacement, and/or for any other amounts due and owing or that may become due and owing after the
end of the Term or under other sections of this Lease, including amounts due us for damages we suffer by your
failure to comply with the applicable state law. You may not use the Security Deposit as Rent.
You shall walk through the Property, complete, and return to us the move-in form that has been provided
to you within seven (7) days of the Start Date. If you do not complete and return a move-in form within 7 days, we
will assume that the Property is in good condition and repair and without damage. At the end of the Term, you
must have the carpets in the Property professionally cleaned and present us with a receipt for the same after you
have vacated the Property and prior to returning your keys to us. If the Security Deposit is insufficient to
compensate us for damages we suffer, amounts due and owing to us after the end of the Term, or amounts due and

owing or that may become due and owing under other sections of this Lease, you agree to pay us any deficiency
within 30 days after our notice to you. If you fail to pay any amount due under this Lease, we may, in our
discretion, report the same to credit reporting agencies. We reserve the right to add 2% to any balance owed after
move out to help us recover our collection costs.
We agree to provide you with a written accounting of any portion of the Security Deposit that we retain.
Any portion of the Security Deposit that is not used or not required shall be issued in the name of the Contact
Person within 30 days after termination of this Lease if you provide us with an address to which the remainder, if
any, of the Security Deposit may be sent. We will issue a joint check for the Security Deposit balance, if any, in
the name of all of the Tenants only if we receive notice to do so in writing from any Tenant at least 5 business days
prior to us disbursing the Security Deposit.
4. Damage and Destruction; Condemnation. If the Property is damaged, destroyed or taken by condemnation
proceedings, partially or totally, we may, at our sole discretion, terminate this Lease effective on the date of
casualty or condemnation. In the event that the Lease is not terminated, the Rent shall be abated in proportion to
any temporary interference with your use of the Property.
5. Subordination. This Lease shall at all times be subject and subordinate to the lien of any mortgage(s) or
encumbrance(s) now on the Property or that may later be placed on the Property. You further agree to execute and
deliver to us any instruments that we or any lender may reasonably request to subordinate this Lease to any such
mortgage or encumbrance, or to certify that we have complied with our obligations under the Lease.
6. Termination. If you vacate the Property prior to the end of the Term or do not take possession of the Property,
you agree to pay, in addition to any other sums owed to us under this Lease, a termination fee equal to two months’
Rent plus a forfeiture of the Security Deposit. In addition, you agree to pay the turnover costs (including, but not
limited to, the costs of painting the Property, generally cleaning your Property, shampooing the carpet in Property
and advertising costs relating to the reletting of the Property), and the full monthly installment of Rent payable for
the last month during any part of which you occupied the Property.

all applicable laws statutes, ordinances, and insurance regulations, including Ohio Revised Code § 5321.05. You

carpets or rugs. Should you fail to notify us, or fail to comply with abatement procedures, you agree to be
responsible for any and all costs and damages arising out of such failure or occurrence. This liability extends to all
costs, expenses or damages incurred by us in treating/exterminating both the Property and other portions of the
building in which the Property is located if said costs, expenses, or damages can be connected to the bugs or pests
in your Property.
Any personal property or other items remaining in the Property or on the apartment building’s premises
after the termination of this Lease or after you vacate the premises will be deemed to have been abandoned and we
shall have the right to dispose of such property in any manner and in our sole discretion. You agree to release us

community. You further agree not to disturb or annoy other residents of the apartment community or the
neighborhood.
You agree that you will use and occupy the Property as a dwelling for, and give keys for the Property to,
only those individuals who are listed above as Tenants, but the fact that you may want to use it for more than those

12. Remedies. If the Rent is late, or unpaid, or if we discover that you have made any false statements in
connection with this Lease, or if you vacate the Property prior to expiration of the Term of the Lease, or if any of
the terms and conditions of the Lease or the Rules and Regulations are violated, we may, at any time, exercise any
or all of our remedies at law, enter and take possession of the Property with or without terminating the Lease, sue
for and recover all of the Rent earned to the date of such entry, and re-rent the Property for the remainder of the
Term at the best Rent we can obtain for your account. You shall be jointly and severally liable for any deficiency
or for the full amount of Rent for the remainder of the Term in the event that we are unable to relet the Property for
the remainder of the Term, and for any damages we may suffer.
Every demand for Rent after it falls due shall have the same effect in law as if made at the time that
performance was due. The remedies provided to us anywhere in this Lease shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to and not limit or supersede any remedy at law or at equity otherwise available to us.
13. Responsibility for Damage, Injury and Property/Renter’s Liability Insurance. You agree that, to the
extent the law permits, you (and anyone else whom you permit to use or occupy the Property) will release us from
and not hold us or the owner of the apartment community liable for claims for damages, death, or injury to you or
your property, or to any other persons or their property for any reason, including, but not limited to, those arising
from theft, accident or other occurrence in the Property or the buildings or common areas of the apartment
community.
You are responsible for paying for any repairs as a result of any damage to the Property, the common
areas, and/or the buildings caused by misuse, abuse or neglect, including, but not limited to, any and all damage
caused by or attributable to your failure to maintain the temperature of the Property at a level high enough to
prevent pipes from bursting in cold weather. As a result, you are required to maintain liability coverage protection
during the Term. Coverage is required in the amount of $100,000 for damages to us, the owner of the apartment
community, and third party property with provisions that cover at least perils of fire, explosion, sewer backup,
smoke, and accidental water discharge. You shall request that the owner of the apartment community be named as
an additional insured on the policy. You shall provide us with proof of said insurance from time to time upon
request. Said insurance is for your own protection and you are not a coinsured or beneficiary under any insurance
obtained by us or the owner of the apartment community. Any temporary interruption of the services provided by
us or any public utility from any cause shall not be an eviction of you nor shall you have the right to any damages
or rental deductions as a result.
14. Personal Property Insurance and Liability. In addition to the insurance listed in Paragraph 13, above, you
agree to obtain renter's insurance commonly referred to as an HO-4 policy covering damage to personal property
and liability for damage and injury to others. All personal property kept in the Property, apartment building and/or
common areas by you (or anyone else whom you permit to use or occupy the Property) shall be kept at your own
risk. You agree that, to the extent the law permits, you and your insurance carrier will not hold us liable for claims
for damages or injury normally covered by renter's insurance, even if we are negligent, and you will look solely to
your insurance to compensate for that damage or injury.
15. Pets. No dog, cat or other animals are to be kept on the Property except for “the Pets.” A photograph of the
Pets shall be kept on file with Landlord. Violation shall be grounds for immediate termination of the Lease.
If you have Pets, you understand that your Rent includes a monthly Pet Fee. You will also be liable for the
cost of any damage done by the Pets. You also understand that our consent to the Pets may be withdrawn if we
determine that the pet is destructive to or is littering in any way the Property, the apartment community, and/or that
the Pets are menacing any person or other animal, that the Pet, if a dog, is not being kept on a leash, that the Pet is
not being kept under control, or that the Pet is making sufficiently excessive noise to be disturbing to others.

16. Nonwaiver. No waiver by us of any breach of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease shall be deemed a
waiver of the same or any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant or condition. The acceptance
of Rent by us shall not be deemed a waiver of any earlier breach by you of any term, covenant or condition
regardless of our knowledge of such breach when such Rent is accepted. No covenant, term or condition of this
Lease shall be deemed waived by us or you unless waived in writing. The receipt by us of any Rent or any other
sum of money or any other consideration paid by you after the termination of this Lease, after the giving by us of
any termination notice or after the initiation of any legal proceedings by us against you, shall not reinstate,
continue or extend this Lease or in any manner affect any other rights that we may have either in law or in equity
or as a result of default by you.

respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

applicable state law are made part of this Lease unless those rights or obligations have been waived in this Lease
and are permitted to be waived under state law.

any reason any provisions are invalid, unenforceable or contrary to any existing or future law, that invalidity shall
not affect the applicability or validity of any other provisions of this Lease. This Lease may be executed in

clearly written on your Rent payment to help us properly credit your Rent.
NOISE: Be forewarned that excessive noise and parties will not be tolerated. You are responsible for the conduct
of yourselves and your guests. After 10:00 p.m. is considered quiet time. More than one written complaint for
noisy behavior may be considered grounds for eviction. If you find that you are disturbed or bothered by the
behavior of other tenants and you have failed in your attempts to remedy the situation, please contact the
management and/or the police so that we can address the situation. All complaints to management will be held in
confidence.
CRIMINAL CONDUCT/ILLEGAL USE OF PREMISES: All Tenants agree not to engage in, or permit their
guests to engage in, criminal or unlawful activities. This includes, but is not limited to, underage drinking and
illegal drug use in the Property or the common areas or grounds of the apartment community.
BALCONIES AND PORCHES: Tenants shall not store garbage on their balconies or porches. Only furniture
designed for outside use is allowed on the porch or balcony. Tenants shall not hang laundry outside. Plants may
not be placed directly on top of balcony railings. All porches and balconies must be kept neat and clean in
appearance.
SERVICE REQUESTS: All service and maintenance requests shall be handled as promptly as possible. Please
e-mail your requests or for immediate assistance call the office. Please do not give maintenance requests directly
to the maintenance staff, as this will upset the system that we have in place to best serve our residents. Requests
for routine maintenance or repairs should be made during normal business hours. If you have an emergency
maintenance request before or after our office hours, the emergency maintenance number is
(513)
861.0646. Please use this number only outside of regular business hours. Our answering service will take your
information and relay your request to the maintenance personnel. Please do not use the emergency number for
non-emergency or routine matters. Emergencies include water flooding into the Property, security issues, or
toilets that do not flush after plunging or are overflowing. You are responsible for providing the supplies
and labor necessary for changing your light bulbs. The temperature of the Property must be maintained to at
least 55 degrees to avoid pipes freezing on the Property. If you fail to maintain the temperature, you will be
deemed to be in breach of the Lease and, in addition to the remedies that we have under the Lease, we will hold
you responsible for damages to the Property and the apartment community.
KEYS: Lost keys will be replaced at a cost of $5.00 each except that some exterior door keys cost $10.00 to be
replaced. Some mailbox keys cannot be replaced, in which case the cost for a new lock is $25.00. If you desire for
your lock to be changed, the cost is $50.00 per lock. If you get locked out of your apartment during normal
business hours, we will be happy to open the door at no charge as soon as possible. After normal business hours
and on weekends there is a limited lockout service available. Monday through Friday between 5:00 p.m. and
11:00 p.m. and on weekends/Holidays between 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m., lockout service is available for a charge
payable in advance of $50.00. Lockout service is not available between 11:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m.
MOVE OUT PRIOR TO EXPIRATION OF LEASE: Moving out prior to the expiration of the Lease does not
release either the individual or other Tenants (and guarantors if applicable) of their obligations under the Lease.
All Tenants are jointly and severally liable for the performance of all lease obligations. This means you are each
responsible for the actions of your roommates as the Lease treats you all as a group. Please refer to the Lease for
more information regarding your obligations. If a Tenant moves out of the Property and the other Tenants remain,
all of the parties on the Lease will continue to be bound by the terms of the Lease. If you would like to assign part
of the Lease to a new individual, you must come to the office and have a release signed by all Tenants on the
current Lease, and a new Lease must be signed (including an approved application with complete papers) from the
new Tenant.

PARKING: If there is parking at Property, these policies apply. All cars parked on the premises must be fully
operational (no flat tires) and have a valid registration and license plates. No recreation vehicles, boats, campers,
jet skis, or non-operational vehicles are permitted on the property. Vehicles must be parked in designated parking
spaces only. No cars may be left on a jack. Any vehicle that does not have proper tags or that is disabled will be
towed at your expense. Vehicle maintenance may not be conducted on the premises except that flat tires may be
changed and batteries jumped as necessary. At no time shall parts be installed or oil changed in the lot. Some lots
do require parking permits. Please display the permit on the front windshield of the vehicle. If the permit is not
visible, it falls off, or if it is missing, then the vehicle may be towed at your expense. We will not be responsible
for towing charges for any reason including, but not limited to, the fact that the permit fell off, or the vehicle was
a rental car, or the vehicle was only parked in the lot momentarily. Failure to return your parking permit at the end
of your occupancy will result in a charge of $50.00.
SPACE HEATERS: Portable space heaters of any kind are not permitted on the Property.
CARPET: All Tenants are responsible to have carpets professionally cleaned after vacating the Property and
before the Property’s keys are turned in. Please plan accordingly. Tenants must turn in a copy of the cleaning
receipt or invoice when the keys for the Property are returned to us. Failure to have the carpet professionally
cleaned and/or to turn in a receipt or invoice will result in the Tenant being charged a carpet cleaning fee to be
taken out against the deposit. We can arrange for the cleaning of the carpets at your cost as a service to you.
SATELLITE DISHES: Satellite Dishes are not permitted on the Property or in the apartment community.
RENTERS INSURANCE: You are required to obtain various types of insurance under the Lease. Please refer to
your Lease for more information regarding your insurance obligations.
CLEANLINESS: You are responsible for keeping the Property in a clean and sanitary manner. Trash must be
disposed of in the dumpster or cans provided outside the building. You must inform us if there are any pests in the
Property. If you do not inform us in a timely manner, you will be held accountable for any damages that occur.
Non-compliance shall constitute a breach of your Lease and will be grounds for eviction. You can also be held
liable for charges to remedy the problem and will be subject to eviction if you fail to comply or cooperate with the
treatment of the Property. Foil may not be used on the stove under any circumstance.
PLUMBING: You must not flush anything down the toilets other than toilet paper. Even if products claim to be
“flushable” (such as condoms, feminine hygiene products, cat litter, moist wipes, etc.), they still cannot be
flushed. It is very important that all Tenants cooperate in this manner to keep the plumbing systems working
properly. Also, every Tenant must purchase a toilet plunger prior to move-in and know how to use it properly.
Tenants may be held liable for unnecessary maintenance calls as well as any damage charges incurred by failing to
comply with these procedures.
SHOWER CURTAINS: You must have a plastic shower curtain liner installed in your bathroom and hanging in a
way so that the curtain falls on the inside of the bathtub and avoids water from spilling outside the bathtub. If not
used properly, serious water damage to the building can result. Tenants may not wash any clothing or bedding in
the bathtub. Tenants can be held responsible for any water damage cause by not using a shower liner properly or
at all or for any damages caused by washing clothing or bedding in the bathtub. Management can direct you to
where to purchase a shower liner, how to properly use a shower liner, and appropriate facilities for washing your
clothing or bedding.
SMOKING: If smoking is allowed in your building and you choose to smoke on the Property or within the
apartment community you do so at your own risk. In all buildings, smoking is not allowed in common areas.
Smoking in units may not be excessive to disturb other tenants.
