1. Use. The Apartment must be used only as a private residence of the Resident and Residents approved occupants. Only a Resident
named above may use the Apartment. However, this still remains subject to limits on who may legally occupy an Apartment of this size.
This Lease Agreement covers the following occupants and no others as permanent residents in the apartment. Any change in the number
of occupants must be obtained in writing from Landlord. If Resident fails to obtain permission and there are unauthorized occupants in
the apartment, Landlord may end this lease by giving Resident thirty days written notice to vacate.

Julia Perry, Annie Flood and Garrett Hale


And no others.

2. Rent, added rent. The rent for each month must be paid by the first day, at Landlord's notice address. Landlord need not give
notice to pay the rent. Rent must be paid in full without deduction. The first month's rent (and any partial month's rent) will be paid when
Resident signs this Lease. ABSOLUTELY NO CASH ACCEPTED! RESIDENT MUST PERSONALLY FILL OUT AND SIGN
ALL CHECKS AND\OR MONEY ORDERS. Resident may be required to pay other charges to Landlord under the terms of this Lease
and for additional services not covered in this Lease Agreement. Whether or not stated as such, those other charges are considered
added rent. Added rent will be billed and is payable as rent, together with the next monthly rent due. If Resident fails to pay the added
rent on time, Landlord shall have the same rights against Resident as if Resident failed to pay rent.

3. Delinquent Rent. Landlord's ability to provide Resident with services rests in large part on Landlord's receiving monthly rental
income promptly. If Landlord fails to receive monthly installments, or any other payment due under this Lease, before the close of
business on the 5th calendar day of the month, Resident shall pay a late charge in the sum of five percent of the payment due. This will
compensate Landlord for the added expense of processing such delinquent accounts. If the delinquency continues and Landlord is
required to start legal action to recover the same, Resident shall be responsible for all costs, including all legal fees and costs incurred by
Landlord.

1
4. Returned Checks. In the event any check given by Resident to Landlord is returned by Resident's bank for any reason, Landlord
shall charge a minimum of $20.00 or the charge imposed upon Landlord by Landlord's bank, whichever is greater. In the event Resident's
check is returned by Landlord's bank, Landlord may declare a default and may exercise any of the remedies outlined below. If Resident
does not pay rent by the due date, Landlord may declare a default and may exercise any of the remedies outlined below.

5. Lease renewal. At the end of the original term, this Lease shall be automatically renewed on a year to year basis unless either party
gives sixty days written notice that they do not intend to renew the terms of this Lease. Landlord has the right to increase the rent for any
renewal period by giving Resident seventy days written notice prior to the expiration of the existing Lease term. Notice will include the
amount of the increase. Resident shall have ten calendar days from the date of such notice to either accept or reject the increase. If
Resident rejects the increase, the Lease will automatically end at the end of the existing term.

6. Emergency rent increase. Landlord reserves the right to pass on directly to Resident any unreasonable, unforeseeable and/or
excessive price increases charged to Landlord. This may include real estate and other local taxes, heating and fuel costs, electricity,
insurance, etc. In the event Resident does not agree to such increase, Resident and/or Landlord shall have the right to terminate the Lease
in writing within sixty days.

7. Release from Lease obligations. After giving sixty days written notice, Resident may terminate this Lease at any time during the first
six months and be released from all terms and conditions of this Agreement by paying a sum equal to three months rent, and during the
second six months by paying a sum equal to two months rent. During any renewal term of the Lease, Resident may terminate the Lease
by paying a sum equal to one month rent after giving sixty days written notice to Landlord. If sixty days written notice is not given, a per
diem charge will be based on the total current monthly rent payment. The sum paid as liquidated damages is in addition to the monthly
rentals due to the date of termination. All monies are due with final rent payment prior to Resident's removal from the premises.

8. Notices. Any bill, statement, approval, consent, permission or notice must be in writing. If to Resident, it must be delivered or mailed
to the Resident at the Apartment. If to Landlord, it must be mailed or delivered to Landlord's address. It will be considered delivered on
the day mailed (or if not mailed, when left at the proper address). They must be given by (I) certified or registered mail, return receipt
requested or (ii) hand delivery with written receipt. Each party must accept and claim the notice given by the other. Landlord will notify
Resident if Landlord's address changes. DO NOT enclose termination notice with rental or any other payment since these payments go
directly to a lock-box at a bank and the notice will not be received.

9. Security. Resident gave security to Landlord in the amount stated above. The security has been deposited in the Bank named above
and delivery of this Lease is notice of the deposit.

If Resident fails to timely perform any term in this Lease (such as paying rent on time), Landlord may use the security. If the
Landlord uses the security, Resident shall (upon notice from Landlord) restore the security within five calendar days. That amount is due
as added rent and therefore may enforce default proceedings as stated within. At all times Landlord shall have the amount of security
stated above.

If Resident fully performs all terms of this Lease, then Landlord will return the security being held, in accordance with law.
Resident may not apply security to pay rent. The security deposit will be returned in full within the time provided by law but only upon
the condition that Resident provides, in writing, a forwarding address. This notice must be made upon termination of the Lease or upon
surrender and acceptance of the leasehold premises by Landlord. Landlord may deduct from the security:

(a) Cost of repairs or replacement for damages to fixtures, carpets, walls, systems, appliances, or any other items in apartment or
the common areas, caused by anything other than ordinary wear and tear.
(b) Unpaid late charges and any other outstanding rent collections, costs or fees.
(c) Any rental payments or portions required by and through the terms of the Lease Agreement and not paid at the time of
departure and termination.
(d) Cost of removal of trash and other items left abandoned in apartment after the move-out date.
(e) Moving and storage costs for items of value left in the apartment.
(f) The cost of changing the locks if the key is not returned.
(g) Unpaid lock-out bills and any other bills paid by Landlord on Resident's behalf which remain unpaid at the time of
Resident's termination and departure from the premises.

If Landlord sells or leases the Building, Landlord may give the security to the new buyer or lessee. In that case, Resident will
look only to the new buyer or lessee to return the security and Landlord will be deemed released from all liability and obligations.

2
Landlord may put the security anywhere permitted by law. Resident's security will earn interest less a 1% administrative fee on a yearly
basis and credited to Residents account as required by the PA Landlord Tenant Code.

10. Alterations. Resident shall not remodel or make any structural changes to the apartment. Resident shall not attach or remove
fixtures in the apartment. Resident shall not erect any outside aerials, wires, or install awnings, signs, notices, legend or advertising,
window boxes, or any other attachments to the premises or the building without prior written permission from Landlord. If Resident
desires to paint walls in different colors other than standard color, Landlord's written permission must be obtained and resident must
return walls to original condition, or landlord will charge resident to repaint. If this occurs, it will be considered as added rent.

11. Repairs. Resident must take good care of the Apartment and all equipment, property and fixtures in it. Landlord will repair the
plumbing, heating and electrical systems, unless caused by Resident's act or neglect. Resident may not make repairs without written
authorization from owner. Landlord must make all repairs and replacements necessary.

Damage to the equipment or appliances supplied by Landlord, caused by Resident's act or neglect, may be repaired by Landlord
at Resident's expense. The repair costs will be added rent. Resident must not use a dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, freezer, heater,
ventilator, air cooling equipment or other appliance unless installed by Landlord or with Landlord's written consent. Resident must not
use more electric current than the apartment or the building can safely carry. If Landlord's consent is given, Resident hereby agrees to pay
as additional rent the estimated cost of electric utility for such device.

The use of kerosene space heaters in the apartment and the storage of kerosene fuel in the apartment, balcony or anywhere else
in the apartment community are strictly prohibited. Violations of this provision will result in the immediate termination of this Lease
Agreement. Notice to vacate the apartment unit will be given.

12. Fire, accident, defects, damage. Resident must give Landlord immediate notice of fire, accident, damage, or dangerous or defective
condition. If the Apartment cannot be used because of fire or other casualty, Resident is not required to pay rent for the time the
Apartment is unusable (as long as not caused by Resident). If part of the Apartment cannot be used, Resident must pay rent for the usable
part. Landlord shall have the right to decide which part of the Apartment is usable.

If the Apartment or Building is damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord may cancel the Lease. If Landlord decides to cancel,
Landlord will notify Resident within 30 days of the fire or casualty. If not, Landlord shall have a reasonable time to repair. In
determining what is a reasonable time, consideration shall be given to delays such as settling insurance claims, weather, public authorities,
Resident's act or neglect, obtaining estimates, labor or supply problems, or any other cause not fully within Landlord's reasonable control.
If the fire or other casualty is caused by an act or neglect of Resident (or Resident's family, employee, guest or invitee), then all repairs
will be made at Resident's expense. However, Resident must still pay the full rent with no adjustment. The cost of the repairs will be
added rent. If Landlord repairs, Landlord is never required to repair or replace any fixtures, furnishings, personal property or decorations,
but only equipment that is originally installed by Landlord.

If cancelled, the Lease will end 30 calendar days after Landlord's cancellation notice to Resident. Resident must deliver the
Apartment to Landlord on or before the cancellation date in the notice, and pay all rent due through the date of the notice. The
cancellation does not release Resident of liability in connection with the fire or casualty.

13. Liability. Landlord is not liable for loss, expense or damage to any person or property, unless due to Landlord's negligence.
Landlord is not liable to Resident for permitting or refusing entry of anyone into the Building.

Resident must pay for damages suffered and expenses of Landlord relating to any claim arising from any act or neglect of
Resident. If an action is brought against Landlord because of Resident's act or neglect, Resident will defend Landlord at Resident's
expenses, with an attorney of Landlord's choice.

Resident is responsible for all acts or neglect of Resident's family, employees, guests or invitees.

14. Entry by Landlord. Landlord may enter the Apartment at reasonable hours for emergencies or for other purposes Landlord decides
are necessary or desirable for protective maintenance purposes or inspections. At reasonable hours Landlord may show the Apartment to
possible buyers, lenders or lessees.

3
15. Assignment and sublease. Resident must not assign, mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber all or part of this Lease, or sublet all
or part of the Apartment. For example, Resident will not permit any other person to use the Apartment or to try to exercise any of
Resident's rights and obligations in this Agreement.

16. Subordination and attornment. This Lease and Resident's rights are subject and subordinate (inferior) to all present and future:
(a) leases for the Building or the land on which it stands,
(b) Mortgages on the leases or the Building or land,
(c) Agreements securing money paid or to be paid to a lender, and
(d) Terms, conditions, renewals, changes of any kind and extensions of the mortgages, leases or lender agreements.

For example, if the Building or land is sold in a court proceeding known as "foreclosure," the new owner may cancel this Lease before the
Term ends. Resident must promptly execute any certificate(s) that Landlord requests to show that this Lease is subject and subordinate.
Resident authorizes Landlord to sign these certificate(s) for Resident. A new owner may want Resident to remain as a Resident under this
Lease. If the new owner requests, Resident will sign an agreement recognizing that. This is known as "attornment."

17. Condemnation. "Condemnation" means that a legal authority can take the Apartment, Building or land by paying Landlord. If all of
the Apartments, Buildings and land are taken, the Term and Resident's rights shall end when the authority takes title. If any part of the
Apartment, Building or land is taken, Landlord may cancel this Lease on notice to Resident. The cancellation date will be at least 30
calendar days after the notice. If the Lease is cancelled, Resident must deliver the Apartment to Landlord on the cancellation date,
together with all rent due to that date. The entire payment for any taking belongs to Landlord. Resident assigns to Landlord any interest
Resident may have to any part of the payment. Resident shall not make a claim for the value of the remaining Term, or for Resident's
interest in the Lease.

18. No liability for Resident's property. Landlord is not responsible for (a) loss, theft or damage to the Resident's property, or (b) injury
caused by the Resident's property or its use. Landlord does not carry insurance for Resident's personal property. Resident will obtain and
pay for that insurance. Residents are advised to protect themselves and their property by purchasing proper insurance coverage.

19. Playground, pool, parking and other recreation areas. Resident may use playgrounds, pool, parking or other recreation areas, at
Resident's own risk and must pay all fees Landlord charges. Landlord's permission may be cancelled at any time. Pool may be used only
during posted hours.

20. Correcting Resident's defaults. If Resident fails to timely correct a default, Landlord may correct it at Resident's expense.
Landlord's costs to correct the default shall be added rent.

21. Resident's duty to obey laws and regulations. Resident must, at Resident's expense, promptly comply with all laws, orders, rules
requests and directions of all governmental authorities, Landlord's insurers, Board of Fire Underwriters, or similar groups. Resident will
promptly deliver to Landlord notices from any authority or group. Resident will not do anything to increase Landlord's insurance
premiums. If Resident does, Resident must pay the increase in premium as added rent.

22. Resident's default. The following are not the only rights and remedies. They are in addition to those provided or permitted by law.
If Resident fails to pay rent or any other sums when due, or shall default in any other provision of this Lease or the attached Rules and
Regulations, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease and services upon five days written notice. The following are rights and
remedies available to Landlord in addition to those provided or permitted by law:

A. Resident's Waiver of Notices. Landlord may give Resident a termination notice (but Landlord is not obligated to give
that notice). If given, the termination notice will state the date the Term will end. Resident must leave the Apartment
and give Landlord the keys on or before the termination date.

Resident continues to be responsible as stated in this Lease.

B. If Resident's application for the Apartment contains any material misstatements of fact that is a default.

C. If
(1) the Lease is terminated; or
(2) rent or added rent is not paid on time; or
(3) Resident vacates the Apartment; or

4
(4) the Term has ended; or
(5) Resident has defaulted in any obligation under this Lease,

Landlord may, in addition to other rights and remedies, take any of the following steps:

(a) peacefully enter the Apartment and remove Resident and any person or property,
(b) use eviction or other lawful method to take back the Apartment and
(c) sue for money damages.

D. If this Lease is terminated, or Landlord takes back the Apartment, the following takes place:

(1) Rent and added rent for the unexpired Term becomes due and payable at once.
(2) Landlord may relet the Apartment and anything in it. The reletting may be for any term. Landlord may charge any
rent (or no rent) and give allowances to the new Resident. Landlord may, at Resident's expense, do any work Landlord
reasonably feels needed to put the Apartment in good repair and to prepare it for renting. Resident remains liable and is
not released except as provided by law.
(3) Any rent received by Landlord for the re-renting shall be used first to pay Landlord's expenses and last to pay any
amounts Resident owes under this Lease. Landlord's expenses include the costs of getting possession and re-renting
the Apartment, including, but not only, reasonable legal fees, broker's fees, cleaning and repairing costs, decorating
costs and advertising costs.
(4) From time to time Landlord may bring actions for damages. Delay or failure to bring an action shall not be a
waiver of Landlord's rights. Resident is not entitled to any excess of rents collected over the rent paid by Resident to
Landlord under this Lease.
(5) Money received by Landlord from the next Resident (other than the monthly rent) shall not be considered as part of
the rent paid to Landlord. Landlord is entitled to all of it. If Landlord relets the Apartment, the fact that all or part of
the next Resident's rent is not collected does not affect Resident's liability. Landlord has no duty to collect the next
Resident's rent. Resident must continue to pay rent, damages, losses and expenses, without offset.

E. Resident will pay Landlord all reasonable costs and expenses Landlord incurs to enforce this Lease. This includes
attorney's fees and court costs.

23. No jury trial. Landlord and Resident waive their right to a trial by jury in any action or proceeding brought by either against the
other, for any matter concerning this Lease or the Apartment.

24. No waiver, illegality. Landlord's acceptance of rent or failure to enforce any term in this Lease is not a waiver of any of Landlord's
rights. If a term in this Lease is illegal or unenforceable, the rest of this Lease remains in full force.

25. Insolvency. If (1) Resident assigns property for the benefit of creditors, or (2) a non-bankruptcy trustee or receiver of Resident or
Resident's property is appointed, Landlord may give Resident 30 days' notice of termination of this Lease. If any of the above is not fully
dismissed within the 30 days, the Term shall end as of the date stated in the notice. Resident must continue to pay rent, damages, losses
and expenses, without offset.

26. Rules. Resident must comply with Landlord's Rules and Regulations which are attached to this Lease. Notice of new Rules will be
given to Resident. Landlord need not enforce Rules against other Residents. Landlord is not liable to Resident if another Resident
violates these Rules. Resident receives no rights under these Rules.

27. Representations, changes in Lease. Resident has read this Lease. All promises made by the Landlord are in this Lease. There are
no others. This Lease may be changed only by an agreement in writing signed by and delivered to each party.

NO ORAL STATEMENT MADE BY LANDLORD'S EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS SHALL BE BINDING UPON LANDLORD.
ALL STATEMENTS AND REPRESENTATIONS MUST BE IN WRITING.

28. Landlord unable to perform. Landlord may be delayed or unable to:

(a) carry out Landlord's promises or agreements,


(b) provide any service or utility required to be provided,

5
(c) make any required repair or change to the Apartment or Building, or
(d) supply any equipment or appliances required to be supplied.

Resident's obligations are not affected if that results from settling insurance claims, obtaining estimates, weather, labor or supply
problems, public authorities, Resident's act or neglect, or any other cause not fully within Landlord's reasonable control.

29. End of term. At the end of the Term, Resident must leave the Apartment clean and in good condition, subject to ordinary wear and
tear. Resident will remove all of Resident's property, installations, alterations and decorations.
Resident will repair all damages to the Apartment and Building caused by moving. Resident will restore the Apartment to the same or
better condition as at the beginning of the Term.

30. Holding Over. In the event that this Lease is terminated by its own terms or by either party before the end of the term, and Resident
remains in possession, Resident will be considered a hold over Resident. If Resident fails to vacate the premises at the end of the term,
rent will be charged for each day Resident continues to occupy the apartment. Rent shall be calculated for each day Resident remains in
possession and shall be at an amount of two times the total monthly rental charged under this Lease on the date of termination. For
example, if the monthly rental is $600.00 per month and Resident remains in possession after the termination date, Resident will pay
$40.00 per day ($600 divided by 30 days = $20.00 times 2) as long as Resident remains in possession. This charge shall be in addition to
all other sums owed by Resident under this Agreement.

31. Removal of personal property. If Resident fails to remove any personal property after termination of the Lease, Landlord shall
have the right to place any such property which Landlord determines to be of value into storage for a period not exceeding thirty (30)
calendar days. Resident may obtain these items upon full payment of all storage and/or moving charges to Landlord. If Landlord
determines, in Landlord's sole discretion, that the property is of little value or if the Resident fails to pay storage and/or moving charges
and remove the property within thirty (30) calendar days, then the items shall be considered abandoned and may be disposed of as
Landlord see fit.

32. Space "as is". Resident has inspected the Apartment and Building. Resident states they are in good order and repair and takes the
Apartment as is.

33. Quiet Enjoyment. Subject to the terms of this Lease, as long as Resident is not in default, Resident may peaceably and quietly have,
hold and enjoy the Apartment for the Term.

34. Limit of recovery against Landlord. Resident is limited to Landlord's interest in the Building for payment of a judgment or other
court remedy against Landlord.

35. Parties bound by lease. This Lease is binding on the Landlord and the Resident and all parties who lawfully succeed to their rights
or take their places.

36. Paragraph headings. The paragraph headings are for convenience only. They should not be used to interpret the Lease.

Section II
Utilities: Water, Sewer, Gas, Trash and Electric Service
1. Resident Responsibility and Metering. The responsibility for payment of utilities, and the method of metering or otherwise
measuring the cost of the utility, will be as indicated below:

a.) Electric service to your apartment will be paid by you either:


no electricity charge
directly to the utility service provider; or
the apartment is sub-metered: the utility service provider will bill Landlord and then the resident portion will be allocated
based on the actual meter reading
b.) Gas service to your apartment will be paid by you either:
no gas charge
directly to the utility service provider; or
the apartment is sub-metered: the utility service provider will bill Landlord and then the resident portion will be allocated
based on the actual meter reading
c.) Water service to your apartment will be paid by you either:
no water charge
directly to the utility service provider; or
the apartment is sub-metered: the utility service provider will bill Landlord and then the resident portion will be allocated
based on the actual meter reading
the allocation will be based on the number of persons in your apartment unit
d.) Sewer service to your apartment will be paid by you either:
no sewer charge
directly to the utility service provider; or
sewer bills will be billed by the service provider to us and then allocated to you based on a flat rate per month
e.) Trash service to your apartment will be paid by you either:
no trash charge
directly to the utility service provider; or
rash bills will be billed by the service provider to us and then allocated to you based on a flat rate per month

2. Utilities and services. Unless the Landlord furnishes utilities for the apartment complex, Resident is responsible to arrange and pay
for all utilities. Landlord has no obligation to provide (or liability for not providing) for utilities. Landlord has the right to temporarily
stop any service (plumbing, heating, air-conditioning, electrical, etc.) because of accident, emergency, repairs or changes, until the work is
complete.

3. Allocation. If an allocation formula above is used, we or our billing company will calculate your allocated share of the utility services
in accordance with state and local laws. If allowed by state law, we at our sole discretion may change the above methods of determining
your allocated share of the utility service, by written notice to you. If a flat fee method for trash service is used, Resident and Owner
agree that the charges indicated in this agreement (as may be amended with written notice specified above) represent a fair and reasonable
amount for the service(s) provided and that the amount billed is not based on a monthly per unit cost.

4. Billing. When billed by us directly or through our billing company, you must pay utility bills by the first of the month, or the payment
will be late. If a payment is late, you will be responsible for a late fee of 5% percent of the bill due. The late payment of a bill or failure
to pay any utility bill is material and substantial breach of the Lease and we will exercise all remedies available under the Lease, up to and
including eviction for nonpayment. To the extent there is a billing fee for the production of any utility bill or set-up charge or initiation
fee by our billing company, you shall pay a set-up or initiation fee in the amount of $ and a service fee of $.

5. Length of Billing. You will be charged for the full period of time that you were living in, occupying, or responsible for the payment of
rent or utility charges on the apartment. If you breach the Lease, you will be responsible for utility charges for the period of time you
were obligated to pay the utility charges under the Lease, subject to our mitigation of damages. In the event you fail to timely establish
utility services, we may charge you for any utility service billed to us for your apartment and may charge an administration fee for billing
for the utility service.
6. Moving Out. When you move out, you will receive a final bill which may be estimated based on your prior utility usage. This bill can
be paid at the time you move out or it will be deducted from the security deposit.

7. Outages, Interruptions, or Fluctuations in Service. We are not liable for any losses or damages you incur as a result of outages,
interruptions, or fluctuations in utility services provided to the apartment unless such loss or damage was the direct result of negligence by
us or our employees. You release us from any and all such claims and waive any claims for offset or reduction of rent or diminished rent
value of the apartment due to such outages, interruptions, or fluctuations.

8. Tampering with Equipment. You agree not to tamper with, adjust, or disconnect any utility sub-metering system or device. Violation
of this provision is a material breach of your Lease and may subject you to eviction or other remedies available to use under your Lease.

9. Additional Rent. Where lawful, all utilities, charges, and fees of any kind under this lease shall be considered additional rent, and if
partial payments are accepted by the Owner, they will be allocated first to non-rent charges and to rent last.
Section III
Apartment Rules and Regulations
1. Abandoned Vehicles and Property. Any vehicle or personal property belonging to Resident, which in the opinion of Landlord, is
considered abandoned, shall be removed by Resident within 1 day after being tagged with a sticker. If Resident does not remove it,
Landlord may remove the property from the area, at Resident's cost. Landlord is not liable for damage to, or caused by, any vehicles.
This includes property damage and bodily injury. Resident will indemnify and defend Landlord for all liabilities.

2. Additional Appliances. Resident must have Landlord's written authorization to install any clothes washer or dryer, dishwasher or any
other special utility consuming device. If consent is given Resident hereby agrees to pay as additional rent under this Lease, a sum
estimated by Landlord for the consumption of utilities for the device. If Resident fails to get Landlord's permission, the installation date
and due date for the utility charge shall be the commencement date of this Lease.

3. Balconies. Storage of furniture, tires, cleaning equipment, bicycles, etc. or items other than outdoor furniture on balconies are
prohibited. Indoor Outdoor carpeting or any other material is also prohibited from patio and/or balcony surfaces.

4. Car Wash. It is not in keeping with our communities and therefore cleaning and polishing of any motor vehicle cannot be done in the
garage or parking area unless specific places are provided for such purpose.

5. Deliveries. In view of Landlord's security system, Landlord will not give keys to any delivery men such as milkmen, cleaners,
paperboys, etc. to make regular rounds. Deliveries are never to be left in hallways or lobbies. If Resident wishes to have deliveries left in
Resident's apartment when Resident is away, or a cleaning woman let in, Resident must stop in Landlord's office and provide Landlord
with Resident's signed authorization to enter and a set of duplicate keys to hand out. Landlord cannot accompany repair or delivery men
to Resident's apartment; therefore Resident has to make the proper arrangements in advance. Resident agrees to assume all liability in this
regard.

6. Disturbing Noises, Smells and Lights. The comfort or rights of other Residents must not be interfered with. This means that
annoying sounds, smells and lights are not allowed. Resident shall keep the volume of any radio, TV or musical instrument in your
premises sufficiently reduced at all times so as not to disturb other residents in the building and shall not conduct or permit to be
conducted vocal or instrumental practice or instruction.

7. Drapes. To keep a nice outside appearance, all drapes over sliding glass doors must be white or white lined.

8. Electric Light Bulbs. Landlord will supply Resident's apartment with electric light bulbs, fuses and fluorescent starters at the time
Resident moves in. Resident agrees to furnish replacements thereafter and make sure the set is complete upon move-out.

9. Elevator Use. Smoking is not permitted in elevators. Messengers and trade people must only use service elevators and service
entrances. Bicycles are not allowed on passenger elevators. They must be stored in designated areas.

10. Smoking. Is not permitted in common areas of the buildings.

11. Explosives and Obnoxious Substances. Resident is not allowed to keep or bring or allow to be brought into the apartment or
building or any other area of the community, explosives or obnoxious substances.

12. Fire Extinguishers. Landlord provides fire extinguishers in most of the hallways which Landlord maintains on a regular basis.
Landlord also requires that Resident provide a small unit for Resident's kitchen as additional protection. If there is a unit provided in your
community for Resident's apartment, Landlord checks it upon your move-in but Resident is responsible for its presence and maintenance
during your stay.

13. Laundry. Landlord will provide laundry washing and drying equipment in the community which may be operated at Resident's
expense. If the machines are out of order, call us. Landlord cannot service if Landlord does not know. Resident agrees not to hang or
place laundry on the exterior of any building or lawn.

14. Lights Out. If Resident sees a light out in the parking lot or hallway, call the Rental Office so that Landlord knows about it.
15. Littering. Don't. Resident will be charged $50.00 per hour to have it picked up by Landlord.

16. Locks and Keys.


1. Landlord provides a deadbolt lock on Resident's apartment door which is considered safe by our industry. This lock is keyed
to Landlord's master system. Resident may not alter or remove this lock.

2. Landlord recommends Resident have a locksmith install an additional security lock of Resident's choosing above Landlord's
lock on the door. However, Resident may not take it with him when he moves out. Landlord must have a key for the next resident. If
Resident fails to do so Landlord will have to install a new lock at Resident's expense to cover the opening in the door.

3. If Resident already has two deadbolt locks on the entrance door, a locksmith can change the tumbler inside of the upper lock.
This will give Resident a private lock for which only Resident has the key.

4. In order to be in compliance with the paragraph of Resident's Lease titled "Access", Resident must provide Landlord with a
key to this extra security lock. This key will be kept in a locked cabinet and will only be used in case of emergency.

5. Apartments which share a common foyer may not install an extra security lock on the main door to the foyer. Of course, an
additional security lock may be installed on the door to the apartment itself, in accordance with the above provisions.

17. Lockouts. Landlord engages the services of a locksmith to take care of after hour lockouts, who will charge the prevailing rate for

Section IV
LEAD BASED PAINT DISCLOSURE

Resident has received a copy of the lead based paint pamphlet Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home. The Federal
Government warns residents that housing built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint. Lead from paint, paint chips, and dust can
pose health hazards. Lead exposure is especially harmful to young children and pregnant women. If the Landlord has tested the
property for lead based paint a copy of the report is on file at the Rental Office and can be obtained for the Residents review.
Otherwise, Landlord has no knowledge of lead based paint and\or lead based paint hazards.
Section V
MOLD AND MILDEW
PURPOSE OF ADDENDUM

It is the goal of this Addendum to provide sufficient information, and instructions to enable the parties to protect the quality
of the rented units environment from effects of mold and mildew in its various forms. It is also the goal of this Addendum to clearly
set forth the responsibilities of each of the parties to the rental agreement.

INFORMATION ON MOLD

Mold is found everywhere in the environment, both indoors and outdoors. In fact, mold is a significant portion of the earths
bio-mass. Without mold, dead organic material would rapidly accumulate in the environment. If that were to occur, life as we know it
would be impossible to sustain. Therefore, mold is both natural and an essential part of the earths biology.
Mold is especially effective in digesting cellulose materials such as wood, leaves, grass, drywall, paper, and dust. Part of
what mold does is to break these complex materials down into simpler substances that can be easily recycled back in to the eco-
system.
Once mold has completed the process of eating, by breaking down the complex materials into digestible substances, its next
purpose is to reproduce. As part of the reproductive cycle, mold produces tiny airborne reproductives which are called spores.
Mold spores are literally everywhere in our environment. They are found in the air throughout the year. The number of spores in the
environment swells in the warm humid months of the summer. It is physically impossible to remove mold spores from the air without
special filtration equipment.
Experts are not in agreement as to the cause, but it appears that more people are developing sensitivities to airborne pollens,
mold spore, dust, and animal dander than has historically been seen. Some people are affected by mold spores in relatively benign
ways such as watery eyes or a runny nose. Other people can become seriously ill from exposure to mold, its spores and/or toxins.
Mold is unlike other environmentally dangerous substances such as lead that can be objectively measured to determine dangerous
levels. Molds impact varies tremendously from person to person. If you listen to the daily weather reports, mold and pollens are
often noted, as measured by so many parts per volume of air. The higher the number of mold spores, the greater the number of people
that may be affected.
Why is mold such a complex health issue when it is a naturally occurring life form which is found almost everywhere? Mold
produces not only spores but it also produces a by-product which is generically described as toxins. Each form of mold competes
for food and survival with other life forms such as bacteria and other molds. In an effort to defend itself from its enemies, mold
produces toxins that kill bacteria and other forms of mold. We are familiar with penicillin, a mold toxin, and its ability to kill bacteria.
Unfortunately, mold toxins can cause medical problems, even death to those people sensitive to mold by-products.
Mold must eat to survive. We now know the various forms of mold can digest drywall, paper, hair, dust, and soap scum. Just
about anything organic in your rental unit can be directed by mold. Two critical factors must be present for mold to grow. The most
important factor other than food to the growth of mold is water. Without water, either in form of liquid or humidity in the air, most
cannot live and grow. Mold growth rate when food and water are abundant increases when the ambient temperature rises. Hot and
humid weather is ideal for mold growth.
We now know something about molds life processes and it functions in the environment. We also know that mold must
have food, water and warm temperatures to survive. With this knowledge we can take necessary steps to keep mold where it belongs,
outside your rental unit!

EFFECTIVELY PREVENTING MOLD

The most effective way to prevent mold is to focus on what it needs to survive and thrive. Water is the most important factor
for mold growth inside buildings. If you can effectively remove sources of water then mold growth will be prevented. As a Resident,
you must especially be alert and on guard whenever there is a water leak. Plumbing leaks, roof leaks, foundation leaks or any other
source of water that penetrates in to the rental unit MUST BE REPORTED, IN WRITING, to the Leasing Office. As a Resident,
you are obligated pursuant to the Residential Landlord Tenant Code 4 5505 to report, in writing, as soon as practical, any defective
condition on the premises which comes to your attention and which you believe is the duty of the Landlord to repair. Failure to make
such a report in writing is a breach of your Lease, this Addendum, and the Residential Landlord Tenant Code. A prompt report in
writing will give the Landlord the opportunity to repair the water penetration promptly and thereby prevent the growth of mold.
Humidity is another source of water. Mold will live off the humidity in the air when it condenses on any cold surface. When
the humidity level in the air reaches 60% and temperatures are above 80 degrees Fahrenheit, mold activity will increase. At relative
humidity of 90% and temperature above 90 degrees Fahrenheit mold growth and resulting reproduction will dramatically increase.
We urge you as a precaution to use your Air Conditioner whenever relative humidity is 60% or higher and the temperatures
are 80 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. You are required by the terms of this Addendum and your Lease agreement to use your air
conditioner to remove excessive humidity and thereby thwart mold growth, whenever the outside temperature is 90 degrees
Fahrenheit and the outside humidity is 80% or higher. Ideally, you should keep humidity levels within the apartment at less than
60%. Moving air with fans will help by creating drying, but high levels of humidity can only be effectively controlled through the use
of an air conditioner or dehumidifier during periods of high temperature or humidity. If you do not use the air conditioner or
dehumidifier under these circumstances, mold will eventually grow.
It is also important that you keep your apartment clean to deny mold potential food sources. The bathroom is the most
important area since it is continually used for bathing and showers. The kitchen is another area of concern as a result of its use for
cooking and washing dishes. Regular mopping and/or vacuuming are required in both of these areas. Products such as Tilex that
contain chlorine will kill mold, and are recommended for bathroom use. For other areas, you should use products like Tilex that will
kill mold and that are also good surface cleaners. Please read the labels of your cleaning products and use common sense. It is your
responsibility to remove standing water whenever you see it standing on windowsills, frames, or walls. You must remove water and
make sure that you let things properly dry out. For example, leave your bathroom door open after showers. Properly hang your
towels to dry. Wipe down wet surfaces such as shower walls. If you have an exhaust fan in your bathroom, make sure it works and
then use it.
If you become aware of any excessive mold growth, especially on walls and ceilings, you must immediately notify the
Landlord in writing so that we can examine the growth, determine the cause of the growth and effect proper repairs. Again, you are
required by this Addendum, the Lease agreement and the Residential Landlord Tenant Code to give the Landlord this notice as soon as
it is practical.

well as injury to Resident and Occupants resulting from Residents failure to comply with these terms of this Addendum.
A default under the terms of this Addendum shall be deemed a material default under the terms of the Lease, and the Lessor
shall be entitled to exercise all rights and remedies at law. Except as specifically stated therein, all other terms and conditions of the
lease shall remain unchanged. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Addendum and the terms of the Lease, the terms
of the Addendum shall control. Any term that is capitalized and defined in the Lease shall have the same meaning for the purposes of
this Addendum as it has for purposes of the Lease.
