AND
CONDITIONS:
1. TERM: The term hereof shall commence on the above date and end on the ending date above. The Tenant shall be liable for all lease payments due through
the lease ending date above, regardless of whether or not the Tenant resides in the apartment. At the end of the lease ending date above, the lease shall be
renewable (in writing only) for any period ending with last day of the month of April, August or December only and must be signed by both parties by 60 days prior
to the ending date above. A stay of less than one semester will cause forfeiture of the deposit.
2. LEASE RATE: $600.00 per month; payable in advance, upon the first day of each calendar month to Owner or his authorized agent, through the
Rentmatic payment system, or at such other places as may be designated by Owner from time to time. In the event lease is not paid within three (3) calendar
days after due date, Tenant agrees to pay a late charge of $50.00 plus interest at 1.5% per month on the delinquent amount. Tenant further agrees to pay
$30.00 for each dishonored bank check. The late charge period is not a grace period, and Owner is entitled to make written demand for any lease payment unpaid
on the second day of the lease payment period. Any unpaid balances remaining after termination of occupancy are subject to 1.5% interest per month.
3. MULTIPLE OCCUPANCY: It is expressly understood that this agreement is between the Owner and each signatory jointly and severally. In the event of
default by any one signatory each and every remaining signatory shall be responsible for timely payment of lease payments and all other provisions of this
agreement.
4. UTILITIES: Tenant shall be responsible for the payment of all utilities and services, except: water, sewer and garbage, which shall be paid by Owner.
5. USE: The premises shall be used exclusively as a residence for no more than four (4) persons. Guests staying more than a total of 10 days in a calendar year
without written consent of Owner shall constitute a violation of this agreement.
6. ANIMALS: No animals of any kind, including insects, fish, reptiles, birds, etc., shall be brought on the premises without the prior consent of the Owner.
7. HOUSE RULES: Tenant agrees to abide by any and all house rules, whether promulgated before or after the execution hereof, including, but not limited to,
rules with respect to noise, odors, disposal of refuse, animals, parking, and use of common areas. Tenant has signed and agreed to all of the terms in the attached
“Rules & Regulations – House Rules” addendum.
8. ORDINANCES AND STATUTES: Tenant shall comply with all statutes, ordinances and requirements of all municipal, state and federal
authorities now in force, or which may hereafter are in force, pertaining to the use of the premises.
9. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING: Tenant shall not assign this agreement or sublet any portion of the premises without prior written consent of the
Owner. Tenant must receive written consent from owner at least 60 days prior to the end of their lease term if Tenant desires to assign this contract. There will be
a $50 charge for selling, trading, or any other types of contract changes if approved by Owner. Tenant shall still be responsible for cleaning the apartment and the
Security Deposit shall be returned to the Tenant as per the terms in Section 19 below.
10. MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS, OR ALTERATIONS: Tenant acknowledges that the premises are in good order and repair, unless otherwise indicated
herein. Tenant shall, at his own expense, and at all times, maintain the premises in a clean and sanitary manner including all equipment, appliances, furniture and
furnishings therein and shall surrender the same, at termination hereof, in as good condition as received, normal wear and tear excepted. Tenant shall be
responsible for damages caused by his negligence and that of his family, invitees or guests. Tenant shall not paint, paper or otherwise redecorate or make
alterations, including wiring of any kind, to the premises without the prior written consent of the Owner. Tenant shall not commit any waste upon said premises, or
any nuisance or act which may disturb the quiet enjoyment of any tenant in the building.
11. INVENTORY: A stove, fridge, and dishwasher will be furnished by Owner.
12. PARKING: Only One (1) parking space is made available for each apartment by assignment. Additional parking may be available in Visitor Parking, but
cannot be guaranteed.
13. DAMAGES TO PREMISES: If the premises are so damaged by fire or from any other cause as to render them untenantable, then either party shall have
the right to terminate this Lease as of the date on which such damage occurs, through written notice to the other party, to be given within fifteen (15) days after
occurrence of such damage; except that should such damage or destruction occur as the result of the abuse or negligence of Tenant, or its invitees or guests, then
Owner only shall have the right to termination. Should this right be exercised by either Owner or Tenant, then the lease payment for the current month shall be
prorated between the parties as of the date the damage occurred and any prepaid lease payment and unused security deposit shall be refunded to Tenant. It this
Lease is not terminated, then Owner shall promptly repair the premises and there shall be a proportionate reduction of lease payment until the premises are
repaired and ready for Tenant's occupancy. The proportionate reduction shall be based on the extent to which the making of repairs interferes with Tenant's
reasonable use of the premises.
14. ENTRY AND INSPECTION: Owner shall have the right to enter the premises: (a) in case of emergency; (b) to make necessary or agreed repairs,
decorations, alterations, improvements, supply necessary or agreed services, exhibit the premises to prospective or actual purchasers, mortgagees, tenants,
workmen, or contractors; (c) when tenant has abandoned or surrendered the premises. Except under (a) and (c), entry may only be made during normal waking
hours (8 am to 8 pm) and only with at least 24 hours prior notice to Tenant, unless Tenant agrees to such.
15. INDEMNIFICATION: Owner shall not be liable for any damage or injury to Tenant, or any other person, or to any property, occurring on the premises or
any part thereof, or in common areas thereof, unless such damage is the proximate result of the negligence or unlawful act of Owner, his agents, or his
employees. Tenant agrees to hold Owner harmless from any claims for damages, no matter how caused, except for injury or damages for which Owner is legally
responsible.
16. PHYSICAL POSSESSION: If Owner is unable to deliver possession of the premises at the commencement hereof, Owner shall not be liable for any
damage caused thereby, nor shall this agreement be void or void able, but Tenant shall not be liable for any lease payment until possession Is delivered or made
available for delivery. Tenant may terminate this agreement if possession is not delivered within 5 days of the commencement of the term hereof.
17. DEFAULT: If Tenant shall fail to pay the lease payment when due, or perform any term hereof, after not less than three (3) days written notice of such
default given in the manner required by law, the Owner, at his option, may terminate all rights of Tenant hereunder, unless Tenant, within said time, shall cure such
default. If Tenant abandons or vacates the property, while in default on the lease, Owner may consider any property left on the premises to be abandoned and
may dispose of the same in any manner allowed by law. In the event the Owner reasonably believes that such abandoned property has no value, it may be
discarded. All property on the premises is hereby subject to a lien in favor of Owner for the payment of all sums due hereunder, to the maximum extent allowed by
law. In the event of a default by Tenant, Owner may elect to (a) continue the lease in effect and enforce all his rights and remedies hereunder, including the right
to recover the lease payment(s) as it becomes due, or (b) at any time, terminate all of Tenant's rights hereunder and recover from Tenant all damages he may
incur by reason of the breach of the lease, including the cost of recovering the premises, and including the worth at the time of such termination, or at the time of
an award if suit be instituted to enforce this provision, of the amount by which the unpaid lease payments for the balance of the term exceeds the amount of such
lease payment loss which the Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided.
18. SECURITY: The security deposit set forth, if any, shall secure the performance of Tenant's obligations hereunder. Owner may, but shall not be obligated to,
apply all portions of said deposit on account of Tenant's obligations hereunder. Any balance remaining upon termination shall be returned to Tenant. Tenant shall
not have the right to apply the security deposit in payment of the last month's lease payment. A stay of less than one semester will cause forfeiture of the entire
security deposit. Tenant shall also forfeit the entire deposit after signing this lease agreement, even if tenant does not move into the property.
19. DEPOSIT REFUNDS: The balance of all deposits shall be refunded within eight weeks from date possession is delivered to Owner or his Authorized
Agent, together with a statement showing any charges made against such deposits by Owner. A carpet-cleaning fee of $50 shall be deducted from your deposit.
Any additional required cleaning shall also be billed accordingly. Deposit Refunds are at the discretion of owner based upon damages to the premise.
20. ATTORNEY'S FEES: In any legal action brought by either party to enforce the terms hereof or relating to the demised premises, the prevailing party shall
be entitled to all costs incurred in connection with such action, including a reasonable attorney's fee.
21. WAIVER: No failure of Owner to enforce any term hereof shall be deemed a waiver. Acceptance by Owner shall not waive his right to enforce any term
hereof.
22. NOTICES: Any notice which either party may give or is required to give, may be given by mailing the same, postage prepaid, to Tenant at the premises or to
Owner at the address shown herein or at such other places as may be designated by the parties from time to time.
