2


ending at 12:00 midnight on the one-year anniversary of the beginning date, unless sooner terminated by Owner or Property Manager as provided in Article 10 of this Agreement. At the expiration of said term, this Agreement will be renewed automatically for successive periods of one (1) year each, unless written notice of non-renewal is given by Owner to Property Manager at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the then-existing term, or by Property Manager to Owner at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the then-existing term; such renewal terms shall be subject to termination as provided in Article 10 of this Agreement.

2.02.      Services of Property Manager. Property Manager shall direct, supervise, manage, operate, maintain and repair the Property and develop, institute and follow programs and policies to facilitate the efficient operation of the Property in compliance with this Agreement, the Rental Guidelines and all written directions of Owner on as profitable a basis as reasonably possible. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject at all times to such procedures and directions that shall be set forth in this Agreement and the Rental Guidelines (as revised or amended from time to time), Property Manager shall do all of the following:

(a)        Employees. Property Manager shall select, employ, pay, supervise and discharge all employees and personnel necessary for the operation, maintenance and protection of the Property (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 4.01 hereof). All persons so employed by Property Manager shall be employees of Property Manager or independent contractors retained by Property Manager, and not by Owner. All costs of gross salary and wages, payroll taxes, medical and dental insurance, worker’s compensation insurance, incentive leasing bonuses and other costs and employee benefit expenses payable on account of such employees, shall be included in the Approved Operating Budget. Property Manager shall fully comply with all applicable laws and regulations having to do with workers’ compensation, social security, unemployment insurance, hours of labor, wages, working conditions and other employer/employee-related subjects.

(b)        Records and Budgets. Property Manager shall keep or cause to be kept at the Records Office suitable books of control as provided in this Agreement. Property Manager shall prepare on Microsoft Excel worksheets (using Yardi templates) and submit to Owner and Legacy such monthly, quarterly, annual or other operating and capital budgets as shall be required by Owner. Without limitation, Property Manager shall prepare and submit to Owner and Legacy a proposed operating budget and a proposed capital budget for the Property for the management and operation of the Property for the forthcoming Fiscal Year no later than November 1 of each year during the term hereof. All proposed operating budgets and capital budgets shall be on a form submitted by Property Manager and approved by Owner. Owner will consider the proposed budgets and endeavor to approve such budgets by December 1 of each year during the term hereof. The proposed budgets shall become the Approved Capital Budget and the Approved Operating Budget only when approved by Owner.

In the event an annual operating budget for a Property has not been approved by Owner prior to the commencement of any Fiscal Year during the term hereof, the operating budget for each month (the “Current Month”) until the annual operating budget is approved shall be the amount of the most recent Approved Operating Budget for the Property for the

 

3


same calendar month (“Base Month”), as adjusted to reflect (a) any increase or decrease between the Base Month and the Current Month in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers for the metropolitan area in which the Property is located (base year 1982-84=100) published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics and (b) any increase or decrease in the occupancy of the Property between the Base Month and the Current Month and (c) any increase or decrease in the taxes, insurance and utilities of the Property.

Owner may revoke its approval of either Budget at any time upon twenty (20) days’ prior written notice to Property Manager and Legacy. Owner may amend its approval of either Budget and cause the Budget to be amended to conform to such approval at any time upon twenty (20) days’ prior written notice to Property Manager and, in such event, only the Budget as so amended shall be deemed approved.

With respect to the first Fiscal Year of the term, if not a full twelve months, Property Manager shall submit to Owner and Legacy for approval an operating and capital budget for the balance of such calendar year as soon as possible and no later than thirty (30) days after the date hereof.

Property Manager shall have the right, from time to time, during each calendar year to submit revised Budgets to Owner and Legacy for approval. Property Manager agrees to use diligence and all reasonable efforts to ensure that the actual costs of maintaining and operating the Property shall not exceed the Approved Operating Budget or the Approved Capital Budget pertaining thereto, as applicable.

(c)        Leasing. Property Manager shall coordinate the leasing activities of the Property and, subject to Section 9.03 below, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain responsible tenants for all unleased units and to renew existing leases at rental rates at least equal to the Rental Guidelines. Property Manager may negotiate and execute leases using the standard lease forms for Owner approved by Owner and attached hereto as Exhibit C. Any deviation from the standard lease forms or the Rental Guidelines shall require the prior written consent of Owner.

(d)        Rent. Property Manager shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that all rents and all other monies payable under the leases are paid by the tenants of the Property as and when the same shall become due and payable directly to Property Manager. Property Manager shall adjust rentals and other required payments where adjustment is contemplated by the leases, shall notify Owner and tenants of such adjustments and shall sign and serve in the name of Owner such notices (except as limited by Section 2.02(e) below), including without limitation letters demanding past due and currently owed rents and other monies, as are deemed appropriate or necessary by Property Manager. Property Manager shall collect and identify any income due Owner from miscellaneous services provided to tenants or the public, including, but not limited to, parking income, tenant storage and cable television charges. All rents and other monies so collected by Property Manager shall be immediately deposited in the Property Bank Account (as defined below).

 

4


(e)        Collections. Property Manager shall undertake the collection of rents and monetary payments of every kind and of any form due from tenants of the Property. Monthly rent shall be collected from new or renewing tenants of the Property using Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) or Automatic Clearing House (ACH) debits from tenant’s accounts in accordance with the approved form of lease; Property Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect rent from existing tenants of the Property using EFT or ACH debits from tenant’s accounts. Manager shall thereafter actively pursue collection of all such rent and payments. Except as allowed by applicable law, Property Manager shall not terminate any lease, lock out a tenant, institute a suit for rent or for use and occupancy, or institute proceedings for recovery of possession. In the event that any tenant at the Property shall be delinquent in any payment due to Owner beyond any applicable grace periods or otherwise be in default under the terms of its lease, Property Manager shall employ such methods as are commercially reasonable to either collect unpaid rent or to evict the tenant from the premises. Property Manager shall employ a collection agency to pursue payment collection and, except as otherwise required by applicable law, shall utilize legal counsel only if a tenant refuses to vacate an apartment unit following proper notice. The commencement of any litigation (other than for routine residential tenant eviction and residential rent collection matters, including bringing suit for and recovery of any delinquent rents or damages and possession of the premises in the name of Owner as an agent with a beneficial interest), shall require the prior written approval of Owner. In connection with all suits or proceedings (other than for routine residential tenant eviction and residential rent collection matters, including bringing suit for and recovery of any delinquent rents or damages and possession of the premises in the name of Owner as an agent with a beneficial interest), only legal counsel approved by Owner shall be retained, but Property Manager shall recommend legal counsel and furnish Owner with the estimated costs of legal services to be incurred in bringing such suit or proceeding.

(f)        Maintenance. Property Manager shall maintain or cause to be maintained (to the extent not maintained by tenants) the Property and common areas thereof, external and internal, including, without limitation, sidewalks, signs, mechanical, electrical and other systems, parking lots and landscaping, in good and clean condition and repair, provided no maintenance expense, repairs or alterations other than emergency repairs, which are not specifically identified within the Approved Operating Budget, shall be undertaken without the prior written consent of Owner. Property Manager shall coordinate and supervise all construction activities (including, without limitation, tenant improvements, tenant refurbishment, common area refurbishment, maintenance and repairs) on the Property. All maintenance expenses, repairs or alterations (including, without limitation, alterations required for the occupancy of new tenants) requiring expenditures in excess of $25,000 shall, at Owner’s election, be planned and supervised by an architect, designer, inspector or general contractor designated by Property Manager and approved in writing by Owner. Property Manager shall institute and effectuate a preventative maintenance program. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an emergency in which there is an immediate danger to persons or property or in which action is required in order to avoid suspension of services, Property Manager shall take such action as is reasonable and prudent under the circumstances and

 

5


shall be reimbursed for any expense incurred in such action, even if not in the Approved Operating Budget, so long as Property Manager attempts to consult with Owner in advance and, in any event, notifies Owner within 48 hours of taking such action explaining the reasons therefor. Property Manager shall obtain all necessary receipts, releases, waivers, discharges and assurances necessary to keep the Property free of any mechanics’, laborers’, materials suppliers’ or vendors’ liens in connection with the maintenance or operation of the Property. All such documentation shall be in such form as required by Owner.

(g)         Contracts. Property Manager shall not enter into any contract without Owner’s prior written approval (including approval of the provisions of any equipment lease); provided, however, that Owner’s prior written approval shall not be required with respect to any utility or service contract which is (i) entered into in the usual course of business, (ii) for a term of one year or less, and (iii) specifically provided for in the Approved Operating Budget. Without limiting the foregoing, each contract entered into by Property Manager pursuant to this Section 2.02(g) shall contain a thirty (30) day (or less) cancellation clause exercisable by Owner without cause and without penalty or fee, unless otherwise approved in writing by Owner. All utility, supply, service, vending and related contracts or equipment leases are to be entered into by Property Manager on behalf of Owner. Property Manager shall assure that any contractor performing work on the Property maintains insurance satisfactory to Owner, including, but not limited to, Workers’ Compensation Insurance (and, when required by law, compulsory Non-Occupational Disability Insurance) and insurance against liability for injury to persons and property arising out of all such contractor’s operations naming Property Manager and Owner as additional insureds. Property Manager shall obtain certificates of insurance for all such insurance before the work begins. Property Manager shall furnish copies of the certificates to Owner if requested by Owner.

(h)         Purchases. Property Manager shall supervise and purchase or arrange for the purchase of all reasonable inventories, provisions, supplies and operating equipment which are provided for in the Approved Operating Budget or otherwise specifically approved by Owner in writing. To the extent available, Property Manager shall give, or obtain for Owner, all volume purchasing benefits and discounts available to Property Manager or to properties of the size and class of the Property.

(i)         Operating Expenses. Property Manager shall approve payment of all normal operating expenses specifically provided for in the Approved Operating Budget not paid for by tenants of the Property; Owner (or Legacy in its capacity as agent of Owner) shall pay such expenses in a manner commercially reasonable for the Property . Property Manager shall recommend that Owner purchase major items of new or replacement equipment when Property Manager believes such purchase to be necessary or desirable. Owner may arrange to purchase and install such items itself or may authorize Property Manager to do so subject to any supervision and specification requirements and conditions prescribed by Owner. Prior to purchasing, Property Manager must obtain Owner’s specific written authorization for all capital expenditures that are not included in the Approved Capital Budget as well as for all capital expenditures of $25,000 or more that are included and itemized with specificity in any one (1) line item in the Approved Capital Budget. Unless otherwise directed by Owner,

 

6


Property Manager shall obtain at least three (3) written estimates from qualified bidders for any capital improvement project if the cost of such project is reasonably expected to exceed $25,000. All capital improvement projects requiring expenditures in excess of $25,000 shall, at Owner’s election, be planned and supervised by an architect, designer, inspector or general contractor designated by Property Manager and approved in writing by Owner.

(j)         Conservation Techniques. Property Manager shall provide proper energy management and utilize utility conservation techniques.

(k)         Security. Property Manager shall use reasonable efforts to maintain security adequate to the needs of the Property as directed by Owner from time to time.

(l)         Taxes. Property Manager shall obtain and caused to be verified bills for real estate and personal property taxes, sales taxes on rental payments, improvement assessments and other like charges which are or may become liens against any portion of the Property (collectively, “Taxes”). Property Manager shall remit all bills for Taxes to Owner and Legacy within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt of such bills.

(m)         Compliance. Property Manager shall operate the Property in compliance with all terms and conditions of applicable law, any ground lease, space lease, mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument affecting the Property and of which Property Manager has knowledge, but Property Manager shall not be required to make any payment (except those provided in the Approved Operating Budget) on account thereof unless specifically instructed to do so by Owner in writing. Property Manager shall also comply or supervise compliance with the provisions of any insurance policy or policies insuring Owner in relation to the Property (so as not to decrease the insurance coverage or increase the insurance premiums). Property Manager shall be responsible for performance by Owner under all license agreements, easement agreements, covenants, conditions, restrictions, documents of record, use permits, development agreements, operating agreements or other similar documents governing or applicable to the title, operation, management, occupancy, promotion and leasing of the Property known to Property Manager.

(n)         Licenses and Permits. Property Manager shall assist in obtaining at Owner’s expense all licenses, permits or other instruments required for the operation of the Property or any portion thereof (collectively, “Licenses”). Property Manager shall send to Owner a copy of all initial or renewal license applications. Licenses shall be obtained in Owner’s name whenever possible. Any Licenses held in the name of Property Manager shall be held by it on behalf of Owner, and upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement, Property Manager shall transfer or assign any such Licenses to Owner or to such person as Owner may direct. Property Manager shall keep in full force and effect all licenses, permits, consents and authorizations as may be necessary for the proper performance by Property Manager of its duties and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, qualification to do business) or as may be required under any lease covering any portion of the Property.

 

7


All such licenses, permits, consents and authorizations shall be in the name of Property Manager.

(o)         Notice and Cooperation in Legal Proceedings. Owner and Property Manager shall forthwith give notice to each other of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against Owner or against Property Manager with respect to the operations of the Property or otherwise affecting the Property. Property Manager shall fully cooperate, and shall cause all its employees to fully cooperate, in connection with the prosecution or defense of all legal proceedings affecting the Property.

(p)         Other Complaints and Notices. Property Manager shall handle promptly complaints and requests from tenants, concessionaires and licensees and notify Owner of any major complaint made by a tenant, concessionaire or licensee. Property Manager shall notify Owner promptly of: (i) any notice received by Property Manager or known to Property Manager of violation of any governmental requirements (and make recommendations regarding compliance therewith); (ii) any defect or unsafe condition in the Property known to Property Manager; (iii) any notice received by Property Manager or known to Property Manager of violation of covenants, conditions and restrictions affecting the Property or noncompliance with loan documents affecting the Property, if any; (iv) any fire, accident or other casualty or damage to the Property; (v) any condemnation proceedings, rezoning or other governmental order, lawsuit or threat thereof involving the Property; (vi) any violations relative to the leasing, use, repair and maintenance of the Property under governmental laws, rules, regulations, ordinances or like provisions; (vii) defaults under any leases or other agreements affecting the Property (excluding resident leases); or (viii) any violation of any insurance requirement. Property Manager shall promptly deliver to Owner copies of any documentation in its possession relating to such matters. Property Manager shall keep Owner reasonably informed of the status of the particular matter through the final resolution thereof.

With respect to the first Fiscal Year of the term, Property Manager shall submit to Owner for approval a draft of a business plan for the balance of such calendar year as soon as possible and no later than thirty (30) days after the date hereof. Owner will consider the business plans and endeavor to approve

 

8


such business plans by December 1 of each year during the term hereof. The proposed business plans shall become the Annual Business Plan only when approved by Owner. In addition, Property Manager shall participate in Owner’s property review programs to the extent requested by Owner. Such review shall include asset, investment, financial and strategy profiles in form and substance satisfactory to Owner and such assistance as Owner may request in connection with appraisals of the Property. Property Manager shall respond, within 10 days, to Owner’s management evaluation reports concerning actions to be taken by Property Manager to correct or modify its management standards for the operations or financial services provided for the Property.

(r)         General. Property Manager shall afford such supervision, professional management and in-house staff services as may be necessary or desirable to operate the Property in the same manner as is customary and usual in the operation of other properties of substantially comparable location, class, size and standing, and shall provide such services at the Property as are consistent with the Property’s size and existing facilities. Subject only to those express limitations set forth in this Agreement, Property Manager shall have control and discretion in the management and operation of the Property and in the performance of the foregoing services. Without limiting the foregoing, if applicable, Property Manager shall review and, if so directed by Owner, conduct an audit of each retail tenant’s compliance with its obligation to pay a percentage rent or any other amount determined on the basis of the tenant’s sales or gross or net income.

(c)         If the Property includes retail space, Owner may agree to pay a leasing commission (the “Retail Commission”) to Property Manager, at a rate to be agreed upon, for retail leases executed during the term of this Agreement between Owner and the retail tenants procured or obtained by Property Manager. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion to reject any prospective retail lease, renewal or extension agreement and, in such event, no Retail Commission or other compensation shall be earned or payable in connection with such proposed retail lease, renewal or extension agreement or the activities of Property Manager, or any other broker in connection therewith.

(d)         Except with respect to other services provided by Affiliates of Property Manager in accordance with Section 3.01(e), which shall be reimbursed by Owner pursuant to Section 3.01(e), Property Manager shall pay from the Management Fee all costs associated with or relating to its own office overhead and management personnel not located or employed at the Property, including without limitation, the salaries, wages and all other compensation, together with associated unemployment and social security taxes and contributions, as well as expenses specifically stated in this Agreement to be borne by Property Manager.

(e)         If included in the Approved Capital Budget or with the prior approval and direction of Owner, Property Manager may obtain services and materials including, but not limited to, advertising, consulting, training, computer hardware and software, forms for use at the Property, contract services and building materials through the organization, subsidiaries or Affiliates of Property Manager for the benefit of the Property, provided the quality of service and the price thereof is competitive with comparable prices and services offered by third parties, and the costs therefore shall be reimbursed by Owner. All discounts, rebates and other savings realized thereon by Property Manager are to be passed on to Owner, in full.

An additional charge of $5.00 shall be incurred each day after the 6th of the month until payment has been made in full. Rent shall be considered received, if mailed, on the date of receipt. A fee of $50.00 shall be paid by the Lessee for each returned check.

SECURITY DEPOSIT: Lessee has deposited with Lessor the security deposit as set forth above, to be retained by Lessor to ensure that Lessee shall fully perform each and every term and obligation provided in this Lease.

If Lessee has failed to perform or comply with any of the provisions in this Lease, then Lessor shall deduct any damages from the security deposit. The security deposit shall not be treated as an advance payment of rent, and Lessee may not apply the security deposit as rent.

Non-performance of any of Lessee’s obligations shall, without notice, constitute a default and forfeiture of this Lease, and Lessor’s failure to take action on account of Lessee’s default shall not constitute a waiver of said default.

16. NOTICES: If Lessor or his agent elects to serve a demand or notice, any demand or notice may be served by delivering a copy to the Lessee, or by leaving the same with some person above the age of twelve years, residing on or in possession of the premises; or by sending a copy of said notice to the Lessee by certified mail. The mailing of same shall constitute delivery; or if no one answers the door, by posting the same on Lessee’s door to the premises.

17. FIRE AND CASUALTY: If the premises shall be rendered unrentable by fire or by other casualty, Lessor may, at his option, terminate this Lease or repair said premises within sixty days. In the event the building has been completely destroyed or Lessor does not within said sixty days repair the premises, then this Lease shall be terminated.

18. DISHONOR: In the event that Lessee’s rental payment is dishonored when negotiated by Lessor or his agents, Lessor shall have no obligation to redeposit same, and reserves the right to demand that all future rental payments be made by money order or certified funds. Lessee shall pay Lessor the sum of $50.00 as additional rent for any dishonored payment.

19. SURRENDER OF PREMISES AND RETURN OF POSSESSION: At the termination of this Lease, by lapse of time or otherwise, Lessee shall yield up and surrender immediate possession to Lessor, and deliver all keys to Lessor or his agent. If Lessee fails to vacate the premises upon termination then:

(B) Lessor may, by giving Tenant written notice thereof, extend the term of this Lease upon all the terms and conditions herein for one year, but with a rental of 20% greater than the rental contained herein; or

Mold Addendum

 

1. ADDENDUM. This is an addendum to the Lease Contract executed by you, the resident(s), on the dwelling you have agreed to rent.

 

2. ABOUT MOLD. Mold is virtually everywhere in our environment—both indoors and outdoors and in both new and old structures. Molds are naturally occurring microscopic organisms which reproduce by spores and have existed practically from the beginning of time. All of us have lived with mold spores all our lives. Without molds we would all be struggling with large amounts of dead organic matter.

 

3. Molds break down organic matter in the environment and uses the end product for its food. Mold spores (like plant pollen) spread through the air and are commonly transported by shoes, clothing and other materials. When excess moisture is present inside a dwelling mold can grow. There is confliction scientific evidence as to what constitutes a sufficient accumulation of mold which could lead to adverse health effects. Nonetheless, appropriate precautions need to be taken.

 

4. PREVENTING MOLD BEGINS WITH YOU. In order to minimize the potential for mold growth in your dwelling, you must do the following:

 

  a. Keep your dwelling clean particularly the kitchen, the bathroom(s), carpets and floors. Regular vacuuming, mopping and using a household cleaner to clean hard surfaces is important to remove the household dirt and debris that harbor mold or food for mold. Immediately throw away moldy food.

 

  b. Remove visible moisture accumulation on windows, walls, ceilings, floors and other surfaces as soon as reasonably possible. Look for leaks in washing machine hoses and discharge lines-especially if the leak is large enough for water to infiltrate nearby walls. Turn on any exhaust fans in the bathroom and kitchen before you start showering or cooking with open pots. When showering, be sure to keep the shower curtain inside the tub or fully close the shower doors. Also, the experts recommend that after taking a shower or bath, you: (1) wipe moisture off of shower walls, shower doors, the bathtub and the bathroom floor, (2) leave the bathroom door open until all moisture on the mirrors and bathroom walls and tile surfaces has dissipated; and (3) hang up your towels and bath mats so they will completely dry out.

 

  c. Promptly notify us in writing about any air conditioning or heating system problems you discover. Follow our rules, if any, regarding replacement of air filters. Also, if it is recommended that you periodically open windows and doors on days when the outdoor weather is dry (i.e., humidity is below 50 percent) to help humid areas of your dwelling dry out.

 

  d. Promptly notify us in writing about any signs of water leaks, water infiltration or mold. We will respond in accordance with state law and the Lease Contract to repair or remedy the situation, as necessary.

 

5. IN ORDER TO AVOID MOLD GROWTH, It is important to prevent excessive moisture buildup in your dwelling. Failure to promptly pay attention to leaks and moisture that might get inside walls or ceilings can encourage mold growth. Prolonged moisture can result from a wide variety of sources, such as:

 

6. Rainwater leaking from roofs, windows, doors and outside walls, as well as flood waters rising above floor level;

 

7. Overflows from showers, bathtubs, toilets, lavatories, sinks, washing machines, dehumidifiers, refrigerator or A/C drip pans or clogged up A/C condensation lines;

 

8. Leaks from plumbing lines or fixtures, and leaks into walls from bad or missing grouting/ caulking around showers, tubs or sinks;

 

9. Washing machines hose leaks, plant watering overflows, pet urine, cooking spills, beverage spills and steam from excessive open-pot cooking;

 

10. Leaks from clothing dryer discharge vents (which can put lots of moisture into the air); and


11. Insufficient drying of carpets, carpet pads, shower walls and bathroom floors.

 

12. IF SMALL AREAS OF MOLD HAVE ALREADY OCCURRED ON NON-POROUS SURFACES (such as ceramic tile, Formica, vinyl flooring, metal, wood or plastic), the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends that you first clean the areas with soap (or detergent) and water, let the surface dry, and then within 24 hours apply a pre-mixed, spray-on-type Disinfectant (original pine-scented), Tilex Mildew Remover or Clorox Cleanup. (Note: Only a few of the common household cleaners will actually kill mold). Tilex and Clorox contain bleach which can discolor or stain. Be sure to follow the instructions on the container. Applying biocides without first cleaning away the dirt and oils from the surface is like painting over old paint without first cleaning and preparing the surface.

Always clean and apply a biocide to an area 5 or 6 times larger than any visible mold because mold may be adjacent in quantities not yet visible to the naked eye. A vacuum cleaner with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter can be used to help remove non-visible mold products from porous items, such as fibers in sofa’s, chairs, drapes and carpets- provided the fibers are completely dry. Machine washing or dry cleaning will remove mold from clothes.

 

1)

DO NOT CLEAN OR APPLY BIOCIDES TO: (1) visible mold on porous surfaces, such as sheetrock walls or ceilings, or (2) large areas of visible mold on non-porous surfaces. Instead, notify us in writing, and we will take appropriate action.

 

2)

COMPLIANCE. Complying with this addendum will help prevent mold growth in your dwelling, and both you and we will be able to respond correctly if problems develop that could lead to mold growth. If you have questions regarding this addendum, please contact us at the management office or at the phone number shown in your Lease Contract.

If you fail to comply with this Addendum, you can be held responsible for property damage to the dwelling and any health problems that may result. We can’t fix problems in your dwelling unless we know about them.

Please note: It is our goal to maintain a quality living environment for our residents. To help achieve this goal, it is important to work together to minimize any mold growth in your dwelling. That is why this addendum contains important information for you, and responsibilities for both you and us.

3.  The cost of providing water/sewer and trash removal services to the Apartment is considered additional rent. In the event such bill is not paid within 30 days of the due date, such failure to pay, at Management’s election, shall constitute a default under the lease. Outstanding balances will be deducted from Security Deposit at lease termination.

4.  A late fee (which may be changed from time to time) will be added to all delinquent bills and an NSF charge (which may be changed from time to time) will be assessed for any returned checks. A one-time Account Activation fee of $10.00 will be charged to all new accounts.

5.  Resident agrees that an administrative charge (which may be changed from time to time) will be included in the cost of providing, and billing for, water/wastewater and trash removal service to the Apartment.
