monetary payments of every kind and of any form due from tenants of the

post-judgment motions, (b) contempt proceedings, (c) garnishment, levy, and

Effective Date. These Terms and Conditions, the Terms Sheet and any written
agreements incorporated into the Terms Sheet are collectively referred to as the

deposit so used so that the deposit throughout the term of this Lease shall at
all times remain at the amount set forth on the Terms Sheet.

Company, in writing, a sixty (60) day notice of its intention to terminate the
Lease. This notice must be accompanied by an early termination fee equal to the
amount specified on the terms sheet, which the parties agree, is proper
liquidated damages. Resident further must pay its rent in a timely manner during
the sixty (60) day period, as further consideration of the early termination.
Failure to pay the rent or liquidated damages set forth in the Terms sheet will
void the early termination. Such payment will release Resident only from any
further rental obligation beyond the date termination is effective. However, all
other items of the Lease must be completed through the date of vacating the
premises on or before the effective date of the cancellation. Company shall
retain all remedies for non-compliance with the Lease and Resident shall be
liable for any damages for noncompliance. In addition, any move-in rent
concession that Resident received in exchange for signing a Lease with Company
will be revoked and these monies will then be immediately payable to the
Company.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Payments: All payments required from Resident under this Section 25 shall be in
the form of cashier’s check or money order payable to the order of the Company,
without any intervening endorsement.
All parties to the Lease Agreement are responsible for the timely payment of the
rent. Moving out does not automatically relieve a party of this responsibility.
Company must be given and must approve a written notice, signed by all parties
to the Lease, that one party is vacating the apartment, and a new Lease
Agreement on the same terms and conditions (subject to Company’s approval, as
the original Lease) must be signed by the remaining party or parties, provided
remaining party or parties qualify.

as Resident is not in default under this Lease may use such facilities subject
to the current Rules and Regulations as Company may from time to time
promulgate. Recreational, and/or other common facilities shall be used only by
Resident unless otherwise permitted, in writing, by Company. Any use thereof by
Resident, his Occupants, Guests, Servants or Others permitted by Resident to be
upon such facilities as aforesaid shall be AT THE SOLE RISK OF SAID RESIDENT.
The failure of Company to provide any operative recreational or other common
facilities, due to fire, flood, accident, strike, weather conditions,
subcontractor’s failures or any other cause whatsoever including delays in the
construction thereof or incident to the making of repairs, alterations, or
improvements thereto, shall neither constitute a breach or default under this
Lease, nor shall it affect any obligation or undertaking by Resident, NOR SHALL
COMPANY BE HELD LIABLE ON SUCH ACCOUNT. Resident agrees to abide by Company’s
guidelines regarding recreational facilities as a condition of Resident’s use of
the facilities.
Section 27:     Military Clause. If Resident either becomes, during the Lease
Term, or is, at the time of Lease signing, an active duty member of the United
States Armed Forces or a member of the National Guard unit serving on full- time
duty or as a civil service technician with such unit, Resident may terminate the
Lease, without penalty, according to the Federal and State laws governing these
matters.
Section 28:     Holdover Rent. Resident hereby agrees that in the event Resident
shall not completely vacate the Premises and return to Company ALL keys thereto

fraction thereof at double the monthly rental rate reserved under this Lease as

retention, employment or use of attorneys by Company because of any violation,

agrees to pay and shall be liable for all reasonable attorney’s fees and costs
incurred by Company.

shall not assign or sublease or permit others to occupy the Premises, nor
advertise same or place notices therefore, without the prior written consent of

Section 32:     Re-Entry. Resident hereby agrees that at any time while this
Lease is in effect, should Resident abandon or vacate the Premises, or if any
execution or other process be levied upon the interest of Resident in this

possession of the Premises, to terminate Resident’s right to possession but not
its obligation to pay rent until the end of the Lease terms or the rerenting of
the Premises.
Section 33:     Forfeiture. Resident hereby agrees that should Resident fail to
pay as due hereunder, or violate any term or conditions, including the Rules and
Regulations of Company then in effect; or abandon the Premise, then in any such
event, Company may forfeit and cancel this Lease forthwith upon ten (10) day’s
written notice to Resident. Company may thereafter re-enter the Premises
pursuant to the provisions hereof. Such action shall in no way affect any
obligation or undertaking hereunder by Resident, nor shall receipt of rent after
default or broken condition be a waiver of Company’s right to declare a
forfeiture hereunder. If the Lease is so forfeited, or if Resident moves,
vacates, surrenders or abandons the Premises while this Lease is in effect,
Company may re-let same at any readily obtainable rental rate or terms. The
proceeds of same shall first go to Company’s expense and costs to make the
Premises ready to rent or lease, plus Company’s leasing expenses, then to all
other expenses incurred by Company as a result of such forfeiture, cancellation,
move, vacation, surrender or abandonment of same. The surrendering, depositing,
mailing or leaving of keys for the Premises with, or as directed to Company,
shall in no way create or produce a cancellation or release hereunder, nor a
cancellation of any monies due, or to become due, from Resident, nor shall
acceptance of such keys to, and possession of, the Premises be construed as an
acceptance of surrender of the Premises, nor shall such action release Resident
from any obligation under this Lease. In the event of forfeiture of this Lease,
in addition to the other remedies available to Company, any security deposit of
Resident hereunder shall be retained by Company to be applied toward the
expenses of Company herein described, which shall in no way affect or excuse any
amounts due from Resident to Company under the terms of this Lease. In addition
to all other provisions of Section 34. In the event a forfeiture occurs under
this Lease, Resident shall lose any rent concession Resident may have received
or otherwise been entitled to and the entire rent otherwise due and payable for
the abatement period shall become immediately due and payable upon occurrence or
such forfeiture and Company shall be entitled to recover as an element of its
damages the amount of any such rent concessions. After Company has regained
possession of the Premises, Company shall use its good faith efforts to re-let
the Premises and mitigate Residents damages.

without cause, upon ten (10) days written notice to Resident. Said ten (10) day
notice shall be given at least ten (10) days prior to the date of termination.
Upon the receipt by Resident of a Notice of Termination of the Lease, whether in
person or by posting, Resident shall vacate the leased premises within ten (10)
days, leaving it in good condition, excluding reasonable wear-and-tear, and
shall surrender the premises by vacating and turning over the keys to the
Company. If the Company elects to terminate the Lease under

10

Lease term and all other provisions contained therein shall remain in full force
and effect.

specified remedies to which Company may resort, under the terms of this Lease,
are cumulative and are not intended to be exclusive of any other remedies or
means of redress to which Company may be lawfully entitled in case of any breach
or a threatened breach, by Resident, of any provision or provisions of this
Lease.
Section 36:     Parties to Lease. Each Resident (and each Resident’s share of

of all deposits may be refunded in one check jointly payable to all Residents;
and such joint refund check and/or itemization of deductions may be mailed to
one Resident only. Each party to whom a deposit refund check is made payable
must endorse the check in order for it to be cashed. One Resident may not
endorse the check on behalf of another Resident. FORGERY IS A FELONY. Unless
otherwise agreed in writing by Company and Residents, deposit(s) will not be
refunded until all Residents and Occupants have surrendered possession of the
Premises. Resident hereby acknowledges that all terms, conditions, covenants,
agreements, and representations herein are binding upon and shall inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto, jointly and severally, their respective heirs,
executors, administrators, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

MILLS PROPERTIES’ COMMITMENT TO FAIR HOUSING
Fair Housing
Mills Properties is committed to the fair and ethical treatment of everyone at
our apartment communities, and we are committed to full compliance with fair
housing laws. We will not discriminate in the leasing and management of our
communities on the basis of race, color, ancestry, religion, age, gender,
national origin, familial status, marital status, sexual orientation or physical
or mental disability.
It is our commitment that we will apply the principles of Fair Housing, Mills
Properties’ policies and community policies and procedures uniformly for all
Residents. We will extend the same ‘We Care’ service, courtesy and fair
treatment to all persons and will ensure that all Residents have equal and full
enjoyment and use of their dwelling and the community facilities.
Mills Properties is dedicated to honoring Federal and State Fair Housing laws.
Accommodations will be permitted and made in accordance with and as required
under such fair housing laws. Prior to the making of any such accommodations,
Resident and Company shall enter into a modification agreement to govern the
approval and implementation of such accommodations as well as restoration
obligations, if any.
Occupancy Guidelines
The Fair Housing Act permits reasonable occupancy guidelines to be determined
and applied by apartment size, provided the guidelines are nondiscriminatory and
applied uniformly to all individuals. To assure a quality lifestyle for all our
Residents, we have established occupancy guidelines for the maximum number of
persons that can occupy each apartment type. We applied these guidelines at the
time you decided to rent your apartment at this community. If you experience a
change in family size that puts your family outside the guidelines for your
community, please contact the Leasing Office so they can assist you with future
housing plans. While we must equally administer our occupancy policy, we do
accommodate Residents who experience an increase in family size by offering a
six-month Lease renewal. Thereafter, we will assist you and your family in
renting a larger apartment consistent with the community’s occupancy policy.
CUSTOMER SERVICE INFORMATION
“We Care”
It’s what we’re all about! Mills Properties is deeply committed to superior
service and unwavering quality in all our endeavors. Mills Properties symbolizes
our Company-wide dedication to the pursuit of excellence and guarantees every
Resident will receive the finest quality product and extraordinary service
delivered in a caring manner.
Quite simply, we at Mills Properties value superior service, which exceeds our
customer’s expectations, so if you aren’t happy with your new home, please let
us know. We want to make it right. If you need maintenance service, we’ll
respond quickly. It’s our job to take care of any problems. If you have a
suggestion, we’ll listen, we value ideas and suggestions offered by our
Residents.
Leasing Office Information
Ready to serve! Our Associates are here to assist you with any questions or
concerns you may have. Please feel free to call or come in at any time. If you
are unable to come in during regular business hours, we’ll be happy to arrange
an appointment time that will meet both our needs.
Customer Service Associates
We’re here to assist you and we want you to be able to easily identify our
customer service associates. Whenever you need service or assistance, just look
for a smiling face wearing a Mills Properties’ name badge. All maintenance
associates will also be wearing uniform shirts clearly identifying either Mills
Properties or your apartment community and will have a photo ID clearly
displayed on the shirtfront. We never want you to feel uncomfortable; so don’t
hesitate to ask our staff for ID or to call the Leasing Office for verification.
Arranged Access
Expecting a repairman? If you need us to give a vendor access to your home, we
will be happy to accommodate you.

13

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You will need to contact the Leasing Office at least 24 hours in advance and
provide us with written authorization before we can give a vendor access to your
apartment when you’re not there. Please keep in mind that staff members are not
able to accompany vendors to your apartment.
Key Policy
If you find yourself locked out of your apartment during office hours, we are
happy to help. Just provide us with proper identification, and we will give you
a key or open the door for you. Also, if you have a minor living with you,
please provide us with written permission to authorize entry and release a key
or open a door in your absence. You can obtain an Authorized Entry form at the
Leasing Office. If you find yourself on the wrong side of your locked apartment
door after hours, you will need to contact a locksmith to gain access to your
apartment. Changing or altering any lock is prohibited without express written
permission. If we have to re-key your apartment due to Resident losing the key,
a service charge will be assessed.
Mailbox
The United States Postal Service may request that upon move-in you place a label
inside the front of your mailbox, listing the names of all persons who will be
receiving mail at your address. Your Property Manager will inform you if this is
required. Should you find a key in your mailbox, it is for one of the parcel
compartments. The parcel compartments and their keys are numbered
correspondingly. Outgoing mail may be dropped into one of the outgoing mail
compartments located at each mailbox section or in the Leasing Office. For
greater security of your outgoing mail, we suggest that you place it in a
Federal P.O. mailbox.
General Liability Insurance
MILLS PROPERTIES REQUIRES THAT ALL RESIDENTS PROVIDE PROOF OF $50,000 GENERAL
LIABILITY COVERAGE AS A CONDITION OF TENANCY. GENERAL LIABILITY COVERAGE OFFERS
YOU PROTECTION IF YOU ARE LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE PREMISES
OR TO SOMEONE ELSE’S PROPERTY OR SUED. UPON EXECUTION OF YOUR NEW LEASE AND AS A
CONDITION OF MOVE IN OR AS A CONDITION TO YOUR RENEWAL LEASE, YOU WILL BE
REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN A POLICY OF GENERAL LIABILITY INSURANCE WITH AT LEAST
$50,000 IN PERSONAL LIABILITY COVERAGE. RESIDENT MUST LIST THE COMPANY AS AN
INTERESTED PARTY AND CONTACT ENTITY FOR THE PURPOSE OF NOTIFICATION OF
CANCELLATION OR MODIFICATION OF THE LIABILITY COVERAGE. YOU MAY ALSO CONSIDER
OBTAINING A RENTER’S INSURANCE POLICY THAT COVERS THE LIABILITY REQUIREMENT BUT
ALSO ADDS COVERAGE FOR YOUR PERSONAL BELONGINGS.
Solicitors
For your peace of mind, distribution of advertising, informational or any other
flyer, door-to-door, on cars or anywhere else on the property is prohibited. For
safety’s sake, don’t open the door to a person unknown to you.
COMMUNITY FEATURES, AMENITIES AND RECREATION
We hope you will enjoy the recreational facilities of your community. Because
these recreational facilities are for the enjoyment of all Residents, Mills
Properties does reserve the right to deny privilege of use to anyone, at its
sole discretion, for violation of any rules or policies. It may also be
necessary to occasionally close facilities for maintenance.
Limited Access Gates
Some Mills Properties’ communities are furnished with electronically controlled
access gates. The system limits vehicular access to the parking areas and
pedestrian access through the perimeter fence, if present.
Limited access gates are designed to open with an access gate card, special code
or remote control device. A key is required to enter through the pedestrian
gates. At the Leasing Office, a Mills Properties associate will provide you with
an access card or remote control and explain how to use it to open the access
gates. Your Guests can gain entry by following the instructions on the gate
control panel or following the simple instructions posted for visitors adjacent
to the visitor telephones at the pedestrian entrances.
Unfortunately, although the access gates contribute to the peace of mind of our
Residents, the presence of the gates does not guarantee the safety and security
of any persons or property and should not be considered a “security system.” In
particular, please be aware that non-Residents may attempt entry by closely
following, or “tail-gating,” a Resident who is entering the community. In
addition to allowing unauthorized visitors access to the community, this
practice can damage the vehicles and compromise the function of the access
gates. For your safety, and the safety of

14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

other Residents, please report these incidents to the Leasing Office. Please
note that management DOES NOT ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY for damage or injury to
persons or vehicles resulting from the use or misuse of the limited access
system or gates.
In an emergency, should you need to call for the fire department, police, or
ambulance service, etc., be sure to make the dispatcher aware that there is a
limited access system at the community. Clearly give your apartment number and
directions to your home. If possible, open the access gate for emergency
personnel. Be aware, that many telephone systems are designed so that further
conversation is cut off once you dial or push the key on your phone to open the
access gates.
Community Clubhouse
Some apartment communities feature a Clubhouse for Resident use. If so, you will
find the hours it is open posted at the entrance. For reasons of safety and
hygiene, we ask that you not enter the clubhouse, recreation or business areas
barefooted or wearing a wet bathing suit. Children under the age of 14 must be
accompanied by their parent or guardian. Visitors need to be accompanied at all
times by their Resident host.
Private entertaining, for certain specific types of events, is allowed in some
Clubhouses; however, the serving of alcohol is restricted. Your Property Manager
can advise you if such facilities are available at your apartment community and
provide information regarding the required cleaning and security deposit.
Fitness Center
Here’s to your health! Stay in top form by using the Fitness Center if one is
available at your apartment community. Please observe the hours posted at the
entrance to the facility. Proper attire is required—shirts and shoes are a must!
Also, please bring a clean towel with you when you work out. We ask that you
wipe down the equipment after using it, so it’s clean and ready for the next
person’s workout. You are welcome to bring water and sport bottles but, please,
no food, glass or alcoholic beverages.
Be advised that the Fitness Center is not supervised, so Residents and Guests
use the premises and equipment AT THEIR OWN RISK. For safety reasons, persons
under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian when they use
the Fitness Center. If you are unfamiliar with the equipment, please refrain
from using it until you have received proper instruction. Residents with heart
or other health conditions are advised not to use the equipment without first
consulting with their physician.
Laundry Facilities
At many communities, coin/card-operated laundry facilities are available for the
exclusive use of the Residents. Please observe the laundry room hours posted. If
any laundry machines are not working properly, please let us know immediately
and we will call for service.
Swimming Pool and Spa
Whether it’s the clear, cool water of a sparkling pool or the relaxing
warm-water swirl of a therapy spa ... consider it your “at home” resort. Like
even the finest resorts, we have to enforce a few rules to maintain a safe,
pleasant environment for all the Guests.
Generally, the pool(s) and spa(s) are open daily. The hours are posted at each
pool. We ask for your understanding whenever it is necessary to occasionally
close the pool for chemical treatments or repairs.
No lifeguard is provided unless required by city ordinance. SWIM AT YOUR OWN
RISK. We are not responsible for accidents in and around the pool. Please
familiarize yourself with the location of the safety equipment.
Residents in the pool area may be required to show identification. Mills
Properties reserves the right to regulate the use of the pool(s) and spa(s).
Residents and Guests under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or
adult guardian when using the pool. All Guests must be accompanied by a
Resident. Visitors not accompanied by a Resident will be asked to leave.
Outdoor spas pose a particular health danger for children and we do restrict
their use to Residents over the age of 14. We ask your assistance in keeping
young people out of the spas. It is recommended that you observe a 10-minute
time limit when in the spa. If you are pregnant or have a medical condition, you
should check with your doctor before using an outdoor spa.

15

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two Guests per apartment may join you at the pool or spa. All Guests must be
accompanied by a Resident. Visitors not accompanied by a Resident will be asked
to leave.
Proper swim attire is required. Swimmers must wear bathing suits or trunks.
Cut-off or street clothes are considered inappropriate swim attire. Diapers may
not be worn in the pool. Remove jewelry, barrettes and hairpins to prevent their
loss and because they can cause serious damage to the pool equipment.
Please be considerate. We ask that you refrain from boisterous behavior and keep
music volume at a level that won’t disturb other Residents. Diving, running,
inflatables and sports equipment are not allowed at the pool. And, for safety’s
sake, we don’t permit glass containers in or around the pools.
No suds, please…it will spoil the fun for everyone. Bubble bath, bath oils,
soaps or other additives can seriously damage the pool and spa equipment, making
these amenities unusable for several days. It’s costly, too, because violators
will end up paying for the repair costs.
Animals, except those assisting the disabled, are prohibited at, or in, the pool
and spa areas.
Tanning Salon
Select apartment communities may have a tanning room available to help you
achieve and maintain your bronze glow. The hours you may use this facility will
be posted. Whether there are health and medical consequences from the use of a
tanning, or sun bed, is controversial; therefore, if you elect to use this
facility, know that you do so AT YOUR OWN RISK. Because this activity may be
potentially hazardous, we do strictly enforce the following regulations and
violations may result in loss of use.
The tanning facility is available only to Residents of this apartment community
who are 18 years of age or older. Residents’ use is limited by State law. Guests
are not permitted to use the tanning facilities. The maximum length of a session
is twenty (20) minutes by State law.
Only one person at a time is allowed in the tanning room. Eye goggles must be
worn in the tanning room. For your own health and safety, do not use the tanning
bed with wet skin or hair. We urge you to not use these machines while under the
influence of alcohol or drugs, as this may be particularly hazardous to your
health.
You need to schedule your tanning appointment twenty-four (24) hours in advance
and adhere to the list of rules posted in the tanning salon.
General Recreation
We hate to spoil the fun, but there are certain activities that create safety
hazards. That’s why we can’t permit the use of skateboards, scooters, roller
blades/skates, bicycles, tricycles, Big Wheels or ball playing within the
community and parking areas. The staff at the Leasing Office will be happy to
direct you to the nearest park or playground.
COMMUNITY STANDARDS AND POLICIES Community Standards
We hope it shows! We take pride in maintaining a consistently clean and
attractive apartment community.
Maintaining this consistency requires everyone’s cooperation—and we count on
your assistance. This means that the community does not allow the installation
of screen doors, radio or television antennas, wires, aerials, clothes drying or
other lines on any part of the building or premises. If you are feeling creative
and contemplating any interior or exterior renovations or additions, you need to
first contact the Leasing Office. Your Property Manager will let you know what
is permissible and discuss any specifications or special requirements you must
follow.
If you are a disabled Resident, your Property Manager will be happy to talk with
you about alterations or modifications needed to the apartment so you can fully
enjoy your new home.
Please contact the Leasing Office if any exterior light bulbs need replacing.
Patios and Balconies
To comply with local fire ordinances, you may not park or store motorcycles or
other motor vehicles in the apartment, on patios or balconies or under
stairways—they are a tremendous fire hazard. Insurance regulations require that
you not place plants, flowerpots or other objects on patio or balcony
ledges—they could fall and cause a serious injury to someone below. Walkways,
landings and stairs are to be kept clear of BBQ’s, bicycles, hibachis

16

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and other items or personal belongings. A standard doormat and a well-maintained
potted plant gracing your front entry would be a welcome addition.
When you look good, we look good. A good-looking community can’t exist without
your cooperation, especially when it comes to maintaining neat, clean,
attractive patios and balconies. We ask that you keep patios, balconies, walls
and railings free of hanging towels, rugs, clothing, or other objects. Attaching
of sunscreens, bamboo shades, netting, wire, any wind chimes that are reflective
in nature, or other material is prohibited. Patios and balconies shouldn’t be
used as storage areas so please, no appliances, household furniture, storage
boxes, exercise equipment or debris on your patio or balcony. Well maintained
plants, patio furniture and other patio related items are always welcome.
BBQ Grills
Mills Properties, Inc. would like to remind you that the safe and proper use of
charcoal grills and gas grills can prevent costly and potentially deadly fires
at your apartment community. Please take note that the following prohibitions
and restrictions on grill use exist:
It is AGAINST THE LAW to use ANY GRILL within 10 feet of any apartment building.
This means you cannot use charcoal, propane gas, or electric grills on your
balcony, deck or patio. Grill use is allowed in designated areas on the
property. Please contact the management office for information on where grilling
is allowed.
Landscaping, Grounds and Curb Appeal
We work hard to keep the grounds and public areas clean, neat and attractive for
everyone to enjoy. Not everyone has a green thumb, but here are a few basic
guidelines that you should follow to help us maintain a beautiful living
environment.
Please show respect for landscaped areas, shrubbery and trees—they live here,
too. As a community, we are asking you to clean up after yourself and dispose of
trash and litter property—especially cigarette butts.
Park bicycles in designated areas only and don’t park or chain them in
landscaped areas, on walkways, or to stairs or railings.
Take care to keep cleaning equipment and personal belongings from outside your
front door. We’ll appreciate items such as mops, brooms, trash cans, shoes and
toys being kept inside and out of public view—and we know your neighbors will
appreciate this courtesy, too.
Wanting to sell those pink leopard seat covers you purchased in a weak moment?
Advertisements, notices, or similar items may be affixed to community bulletin
boards provided for that purpose, but should not be distributed or displayed
elsewhere within the community.
Pets
Before giving into temptation and bringing that adorable critter home, please
check with your Property Manager.
Not all apartment communities accept pets and those that do have specific
requirements regarding the type and size of pet permitted. If your apartment
community is one that welcomes the patter of tiny paws, a pet deposit, pet fee
and monthly pet rent will be required and you must sign a Pet Addendum. Certain
types of pets cannot be permitted—these include any wild, exotic, endangered or
poisonous animals or reptiles. In addition, the following vicious dog breeds are
not permitted: Pit Bull, Rottweiler, German Shepherd, Chow, Doberman Pinscher,
Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Perro de Presa Canario, Wolf Dogs (hybrids) or any
breed management believes, in its sole discretion, is a cross breed or related
to any of the restricted breeds. Fish tanks shall not exceed 20 gallons and must
be properly supported.
Quiet Enjoyment
Some Residents might love to put on “the King” and sing along, while they
vacuum, Someone else might prefer to curl up and enjoy some peace and quiet with
a good book. We ask all of our Residents to be considerate of their neighbors
and take responsibility for Guests. Noise can be a nuisance. When entertaining,
using your TV or stereo, playing a musical instrument or using appliances, sound
should not carry beyond your own apartment. That might mean turning down the
volume and/or closing doors or windows. If you reside upstairs that also means
avoiding running, jumping or slamming doors.

17

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We want you to be able to enjoy your home, while being considerate of your
neighbors’ rights and comforts. If you have a noisy neighbor who seems to have
forgotten this part of our community policies, please call the Leasing Office.
We’ll take care of it.
Holiday Decorations
Go ahead and deck the halls. We do ask that your holiday decorations stay
tasteful and that they come down no more than one week after the holiday. No one
wants to be a Grinch, so please be considerate of others, particularly
concerning decorations that light up, make noise or play music. Your neighbors
will appreciate it!
Satellite Dishes
If you decide to install a satellite dish to receive direct broadcast signals
(OBS) on the premises you are leasing, there are several restrictions, We hate
to be tedious, but the FCC says we must tell you all the details and
restrictions; so, if you are contemplating an installation, please read and
refer to this section carefully.
To receive a good signal DBS dishes generally need to be facing south. If your
apartment faces north, you will probably not be able to receive an acceptable
signal.
You may install only one satellite dish on the premises. A satellite dish may
not exceed one meter (39.37 inches) in diameter.
A satellite dish may not protrude or overhang outside the vertical and
horizontal space that is leased for your exclusive use. That means that
installation is limited to inside your dwelling or in an outside area, such as a
balcony or patio. They may not be installed in any common areas, for instance
stairwells, a common walkway, exterior walls, roof, parking area, or any common
area outside your rented space.
Holes may not be drilled into decks, railings, walls, fences or any other part
of the building, in order to secure a satellite dish. For practical purposes,
this means that nails or bolts cannot be used and that satellite dishes must be
secured by a freestanding attachment to a portable heavy object providing it
does not protrude or overhang.
The installation must comply with reasonable safety standards that comply with
local building codes. The installation may not interfere with our cable,
telephone or electrical systems, or those of neighboring properties, may not be
connected to our telecommunication systems or to our electrical system, except
by plugging into a 110-volt duplex receptacle.
You are required to restore the property to its original condition normal wear
and tear accepted before you vacate.
Trash Removal
We’ve made sure trash enclosures are conveniently located throughout the
community for the sanitary containment of household trash and garbage. Multiple
trash pick-ups are scheduled several times each week; however, if the trash
receptacle nearest your apartment is full, please take it to another one.
Garbage bags left on the ground are a genuine health hazard and can attract
unwanted pests. If you regularly have trouble finding an empty receptacle,
report the problem to the Leasing Office so we can resolve the problem.
Here are a few other guidelines relating to trash:
We don’t want you to have to hold your nose when you walk outside! Please keep
the lids closed on the trash receptacles – it helps control odors and insects.
Trash removal vendors only dispose of the contents of the bins or dumpsters. We
ask that you not leave furniture, mattresses, or other similar items, in or near
the trash enclosures. Cardboard boxes must be broken down, flattened and placed
inside the bin. For safety’s sake, do not put hazardous waste or flammable
materials in the trash receptacles. If your child is not tall enough to open the
gates or raise the lid and put garbage bags inside the trash bins, please give
them some other chore to do!
Put trash, garbage, and other household rubbish only in the bins in the trash
enclosures. Please do not put it in the trash receptacles or cigarette urns at
the entrance, laundry rooms, and pool areas or elsewhere throughout our
community.

18

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Waterbeds and Fish Tanks
Water, water everywhere . . . leaks or ruptures can create major problems!
Before you place a waterbed in your apartment, you will need to contact the
Leasing Office to provide verification that you have a waterbed insurance policy
in effect. Waterbed insurance must be kept current as long as the waterbed is
present in your home. We suggest you routinely inspect waterbeds and fish tanks,
as you are held responsible for damage they might cause.
Windows/Screens
A clean, uncluttered look is a key element in maintaining the appearance of this
community. White or off-white window treatments are required for consistency. As
a result, please refrain from placing foil, decorative stickers, colored drapes,
colored window blinds or other colorful or unusual window treatments in the
window areas.
Apartment window screens are not designated to be removed. Please notify the
office if a screen is missing or damaged.
Weapons, Firearms and Threats
Carrying, displaying, or discharging fireworks, guns, slingshots or any type of
firearm or behaving in such a manner that is physically threatening to the
safety of others is strictly prohibited. We have no tolerance whatsoever for the
illegal use of weapons or threatening behaviors. Violation of this policy by any
Resident or Guest will result in immediate termination of the Lease agreement.
We accept no excuses and make no exceptions for weapons, firearms or threatening
behavior violations.
APARTMENT MAINTENANCE – Care and Operation of Appliances and Safety Equipment
Move-In Inspection Checklist Form
We want you to be happy with your new home right from the start! Once you’ve
signed the paperwork and received your keys, we want to ensure that everything
is in good order and that you are completely satisfied. We try our best to do
things right the first time. If something has been overlooked, we’ll be taking
immediate action to get the problem fixed . . . fast!
Service Requests
It’s our job to take care of your maintenance service requests as quickly as
possible. Report the problem to the
Leasing Office and our Maintenance Service Associates will do everything they
can to solve the problem within 48 hours – sooner, if possible. Sometimes a
special part or outside service is required. In that case, we will take care of
those arrangements and follow-up to ensure your request is completed as quickly
as possible. We’ll keep you informed, but, please, feel free to contact the
Leasing Office to check on the status of your service request at any time.
Preventive Maintenance
Mills Properties’ philosophy includes regularly scheduled maintenance service in
your apartment by your community maintenance associates. They will periodically
replace your air-conditioning and heating filter, check smoke detector systems,
and check your home for plumbing leaks and excess moisture. You will receive
advance notice of any preventive maintenance that is scheduled in your home.
Emergencies
If you have a true emergency, such as a fire or medical emergency, dial 911
immediately! Clearly give your apartment number and directions to your home. Be
sure to let the dispatcher know if there are entry gates limiting access to the
community. We are here to assist you as quickly with other emergencies,
including such other things as power failure, plumbing problems, water leaks or
other concerns. After office hours, you should still report maintenance type
emergencies to the Leasing Office. The voice mail system or answering machine
will provide the information and assistance you need.

19

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pest Control
We try hard not to “bug” you. An approved pest control operator treats the
community on a regular basis. If you need additional pest control assistance,
contact the Leasing Office. We will arrange to help get rid of any pests or
insects that are “bugging” you.
The pest control operators hired by this apartment community are licensed and
registered and apply pesticides which are registered and approved for use by the
State and the United States Environment Protection Agency.
Lighting
When you move into your new home, all the permanent light fixtures will be fully
equipped with light bulbs. After that, you are responsible for the replacement
of regular light bulbs. However, we will continue to provide replacement tubes
for fluorescent fixtures. Please call the Leasing Office when those need to be
replaced. We conduct an exterior lighting audit regularly, because we know that
good night lighting is important but we need your help too. Give the Leasing
Office a call if you spot an exterior light fixture that is not working, so we
can replace the bulb or take care of the repair and get the light working again
quickly.
Appliances
Never leave appliances that are in use unattended. If any appliance in your
apartment stops working, we will be happy to fix it for you. Please call the
office immediately if you have a problem with any appliance in your apartment.
Dishwasher
Please use only automatic dishwashing detergent in the machine. For optimum
performance, we recommend that you rinse dishes before loading and load dishes
so as not to interfere with the action of the rinsing arm. It’s always safest to
wash delicate or treasured items by hand, as the jet action of spraying water
could cause breakage of fine glassware and china.
Disposal
Always use cold water when running the disposal. Your garbage disposal is
designed to handle only soft foods. Such things as celery, cornhusks, coffee
grounds, potato peelings, artichokes, melon seeds, string, rubber bands or hard
items such as bones, glass or rocks will jam the unit or damage the blades. A
good way to deodorize your disposal is to run cold water and insert lemon, lime
or orange peels. Please do not use drain-cleaning chemicals, as they can cause
severe damage to the plumbing. If the disposal does not operate when turned on,
try depressing the red reset button on the underside of the disposal unit. If
the disposal still does not work, contact the Leasing Office.
Refrigerator
The temperature control dial may be set at whatever position best suits your
needs. If your refrigerator is not frostfree, please consult the Leasing Office
for defrosting instructions. A mild solution of baking soda and warm water is
recommended for cleaning the interior and exterior of the refrigerator. Abrasive
cleansers, gritty soaps or harsh cleaning solvents can scratch the finish or
leave sticky residue.
Range/Oven
Your range is equipped with separate controls for the oven, broiler and each of
the top burners. If your oven is selfcleaning, follow the cleaning instructions
on the oven door. If it is not self-cleaning, you can clean the interior with a
spray on wipe off oven cleaner available at most grocery stores. Use a
non-abrasive soft scrub product or warm soapy water to clean the stovetop, oven
exterior, drip pans and oven racks.
In-Unit Washers and Dryers
Check and clean the lint trap on your dryer before each use and do not dry
plastic items. Do not store anything on top or near the dryer and do not
obstruct dryer vents. Inspect your washer and dryer hoses and vents on a regular
basis and report any maintenance issues to the Property Manager. When using your
washer or dryer, follow manufacturer’s requirements on load limitations.

20

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A/C or Heating Unit
Most apartments are controlled by an individual central thermostat. To assure
comfort and conserve energy, set the thermostat at one temperature and leave it
there.
To keep your air conditioning and heating equipment working at peak performance,
follow these simple guidelines: 1.) Keep air conditioner filters clean. We will
replace or clean your filters as required. 2.) Do not obstruct or place any
personal property in front of any air conditioning or heating equipment or
vents. This could impair circulation; result in higher electric bills and cause
permanent damage to the unit.
In hot weather, set the selector switch to ‘COOL” and set the fan switch to
‘AUTO’. Set the controls between 74 and 78 degrees Fahrenheit to provide maximum
cooling. Setting them lower will not cool your apartment any faster, Your air
conditioner will only function efficiently when all doors and windows are
closed. Also, keep window coverings closed during the day to keep your apartment
cooler.
When it turns cold outside set the selector switch to ‘HEAT’ and set the fan
switch to ‘AUTO’. Set the controls between 68 and 74 degrees Fahrenheit to
provide maximum heating. Setting them higher will not heat your apartment any
quicker. In the winter, open your window coverings during the day to allow the
sun to warm your apartment and help reduce the power load. Do not switch your
thermostat directly from COOL to HEAT or from HEAT to COOL. This will cause
permanent damage to your unit and could result in a charge to you for repair
and/or replacement.
Fireplace
Whether your fireplace is gas or wood burning, always make sure the damper is
open before starting a fire. Gas fireplaces should be ignited immediately upon
the gas being turned on. For safety’s sake use a long fireplace match or butane
BBQ igniter. If the fireplace is wood burning, always use a fireplace grate. Do
not use any flammable liquid or accelerant when starting the fire. Keep the
fireplace screen closed until all embers are cold and wait at least 48 hours
before disposing of the ashes.
Fire Prevention
We urge you to make a regular inspection of your apartment for potential fire
hazards and take the following precautions to help eliminate fire hazards.
Immediately replace worn or frayed cords, plugs or wiring (or have them repaired
by a qualified electrician). Rearrange lights and other fixtures or appliances
so that extension cords are not needed and avoid overloading outlets with too
many appliances or plugs. Avoid smoking in bed and do not empty ashtrays into
wastebaskets, extinguish barbeque fires completely. Never leave burning candles
unattended. Do not leave food cooking on the stove or in the oven unattended.
Never throw water on a grease fire; rather, pour baking soda or salt into the
pan to extinguish the fire. Do not store any goods or materials in any storage
space if such goods or materials are combustible or would increase the risk of
fire or damage to your apartment or the community.
In case of a fire, call the fire department or 911 first, and then once you are
safe call the Leasing Office as soon as possible.
Do not pour water on an electrical fire! Use the fire extinguisher located in
your apartment unit. They are regularly inspected to insure that they are in
working order. Of course, should a fire ever break out, notify the fire
department first and then the Leasing Office.
Your apartment may be equipped with one or more smoke detectors. You should test
each smoke detector on a monthly basis and immediately replace dead or low
batteries, at your expense. If the detector is battery operated, you will hear
warning beeps when the battery needs replacing. If your smoke detector is
electrically operated, there is a red light to let you know it is operating
property. Please call the Leasing Office immediately to report smoke detector
malfunctions or deficiencies.
PARKING, GARAGE AND TOWING GUIDELINES Parking Regulations
To better accommodate our Residents, we’ve implemented a few rules regarding
parking. At apartment communities where parking spaces are assigned, vehicles
must park only in their assigned space(s). Sadly, we must tell you that we
cannot guarantee the safety of any vehicle parking in our lots. AS WE ASSUME NO
RESPONSIBILITY for loss or damage to vehicles or contents of vehicles parking at
the apartment community, we suggest you take reasonable precautions, such as
always locking your car and keeping valuables out of view.

21

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We know you have boxes to unpack and other things to do; but please take a
moment to read through the following to familiarize yourself with the guidelines
and regulations enforced as outlined below:
•
To make sure there is adequate parking for Residents; please inform your Guests
that they may park only in designated visitor spaces in the community parking
lots in uncovered or unassigned open spaces or they must park off the premises.
Cars parked on the property must be parked “head in” and not backed in to the
parking space.

•
Cars must be operable and have current registrations. The following vehicles may
not be parked in the community parking lots:

•
Boats, boat trailers or travel trailers, unless there is a lot designated
specifically for recreational vehicles

•
Vehicles over 20 feet long

•
Any vehicle that leaks oil or other fluids

•
Stored vehicles (unmoved for more than 5 days)

•
Car that are unlicensed or expired registration tags

•
Vehicles may be washed in designated car wash areas only.

•
You, or your Guests, may park in the ‘Future Resident Parking’ spaces outside
the Leasing Office, except during business hours.

•
Please do not perform car repairs or maintenance of the property. All vehicles
must appear in working condition.

•
Under certain circumstances, it may be necessary for us to move your vehicle. We
will attempt to provide you with advance notice of such requirements. However,
we cannot guarantee that such advance notice will be possible in all cases. If
we are required to move your vehicle, a professional towing company will be
used.

•
No vehicle may be parked on the grass, in front of dumpsters or in any other
area marked for no vehicle parking, or in a marked handicap space unless the
legally required handicap insignia is displayed.

•
By executing this Lease Agreement, Resident hereby gives permission to the
Company to tow Resident’s vehicle if Resident violates any of these guidelines.

Parking Permits
If a parking permit is issued, attach the permit inside on the lower right of
the rear window. Where this is not possible, attach the permit to the lower
right corner of the windshield. If the permit is a hanging tag, attach the tag
to the rear-view mirror. If you sell your vehicle, please return the old parking
permit to the Leasing Office and the staff will happily issue a new permit for
any newly acquired vehicle.
Parking Violations and Towing
All vehicles parked in community parking areas must be in working condition and
have current registration tags. Vehicles in violation of the parking regulations
will be towed without notice at the Resident’s expense.
Parking violations include but are not limited to:
•
Vehicles not permitted in community parking lots;

•
Abandoned or disabled vehicles, including those with flat tires;

•
Vehicles with expired license or registration tags;

22

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

•
Vehicles parked in fire lines;

•
Vehicles backed into parking spaces;

•
Vehicles parked in handicap zones without appropriate insignia;

•
Vehicles blocking trash receptacles or parked on the grass;

•
Vehicles parked in someone else’s assigned space or blocking other legally
parked vehicles;

•
Vehicles displaying invalid, expired, or duplicated parking permits or tags.

Garages
If garages are available at your community, you may contact the Leasing Office
to inquire about leasing one. If you lease a garage, or one is included with
your apartment, please ensure that your garage door is closed at all times,
other than when you are entering or leaving. Open garage doors are an open
invitation to theft, vandalism and intruders. Garages are for vehicle parking
and may not be used as storage units. You may, however, store nonflammable items
in your garage, as long as your vehicle can still be parked inside too. Due to
the limited availability of on-site parking, if you have been assigned a garage,
be sure to park in your garage and leave the open parking spaces for other
Residents or Guests.
Garage Door Openers
If you are provided with a garage door opener, you should replace the batteries
periodically. Should you experience problems with the operation of your garage
door opener other than battery replacement, stop by the Leasing Office.
You are responsible for the cost of replacement due to loss or damage.
Bicycles and Motorcycles
Park bicycles in designated areas only. Your Property Manager will be happy to
tell you of any bicycle enclosures or parking areas available at your community.
Bicycles may not be parked, chained, or stored in landscaped areas, on walkways,
stairs and railings or under stairwells. They may be stored in your apartment or
on your patio or balcony areas, provided it is completely enclosed.
Fire regulations prohibit the storage of motorcycles or any other motor-driven
type of vehicle inside your apartment home, patio, and balcony or on the
sidewalks, stairwells or in the breezeways. They must only be parked in
carports, garages or other designated parking areas.
Towing
We contract with a local towing service. You will find their name and telephone
number posted in the parking area or ask the office staff. The towing companies
are required to advise local law enforcement of vehicles towed. If you believe
your car or a Guest’s car has been towed, you can obtain this information by
calling local law enforcement, or you can also call the towing company. During
business hours, the Leasing Office can provide you with towing and contact
information. It is your responsibility to contact the towing company and pay the
towing charges. We do not assume responsibility for towed vehicles and you
specifically waive any cause of action and hold harmless the Owner, Community,
and the Community staff.
RENT PAYMENT AND LEASE INFORMATION
Rent Payment Guidelines
Please make your rent payments by personal check, certified check or money order
payable to the apartment community. Partial payments cannot be accepted. For the
safety of all, we will not accept cash payments. We keep no cash at the Leasing
Office and, therefore, are unable to make change.
•
Remember to clearly write your apartment number on your check or money order.

•
Rent is due on the 1st of each month. A late fee will be charged if your rent
has not been paid by midnight on the 3rd of the month. Delinquent rent payments
are subject to late charges, as well as legal fees and court costs. The amount
of the late fee is specified on your Terms Sheet.

23

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

•
A night drop box is provided at most communities for your convenience. Please
ask an associate in the Leasing Office for availability of a night drop box at
your community.

•
Checks returned by the bank will not be re-deposited. The Resident is charged an
NSF fee, in addition to a late fee, on all returned checks. The NSF fee amount
is specified on your Terms Sheet.

•
Checks returned by the bank must be redeemed within 48 hours with a cashier’s
check or money order. Two returned checks will necessitate that future rent
payments be made only by cashier’s check or money order for the balance of
Resident’s tenancy. However, Company retains the option, at its sole discretion,
to amend this to require future rent payments be made by cashier’s check or
money order for a 12 month period.

•
Your Lease is a legal contract. Please visit the Leasing Office if you need
further clarification on any provisions or consult with an attorney.

Lease Renewal
We hope we’ve exceeded your expectations and that you will want to renew the
Lease on your apartment home. You will be contacted by the Property Manager in
advance of your Lease expiration date and your renewal options will be
explained, along with any changes to rental rates or Lease terms offered. If you
choose, and we agree, to continue residency on a month-to-month basis at the end
of your original Lease term, you may be required to pay an additional monthly
fee. For those Residents not in compliance with the terms and conditions of
their Lease contract or the community guidelines, a Lease renewal may be denied.
Apartment Transfers
We want you to stay with us for a long time, so if you find your home no longer
meets your needs, consider transferring to another apartment home within the
community or to another Mills Properties managed community. The associates at
your Leasing Office will be happy to assist you in finding a new apartment that
meets your requirements.
For apartment transfers, you must be in compliance with the terms and conditions
of your current Lease, complete an acceptable inspection of your apartment and
re-qualify. The deposit on your former apartment will be processed and
transferred once you schedule the move-out inspection and return the keys if
there are no damages. However, your deposit will be deducted if there are
damages to the former apartment and you will be required to submit payment for
the new deposit on the transfer apartment.
Roommates
Roommates are jointly responsible for all rental payments and Lease terms. As a
result, a written notice to move out must be signed by all roommates.
Upon move out, any security deposit refund check issued will be made payable to
all Residents listed on the Lease and mailed to the forwarding address provided.
It is the roommates’ responsibility to decide when and how to appropriately
divide any security deposit refund.
Rental Concessions
If you received a rental concession at the time you signed your Lease, you need
to be aware that a rental concession is offered as an incentive to fulfill the
full Lease term. If for any reason, the Lease is terminated early you are
responsible for repayment of the full amount of the concession.
Move-out Procedures
Great new job? Bought a house? Whatever the reason, we are sorry to see you go.
The following guidelines were prepared to help make your move as painless as
possible.
1)     Notice requirements:
•
A sixty (60) day written notice is required, per your Lease, to vacate your
apartment. The Leasing Office will provide you with a notice form for this
purpose, along with the other information you may need.

24

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

•
If you choose to move before your Lease ends, you must give a sixty (60) day
written notice plus pay all applicable fees per your Lease. Please call the
Leasing Office to discuss the fees owed.

2)     Move-out inspections:
•
Contact the Leasing Office up to two weeks before you move out if you would like
a preinspection prior to vacating. This gives you the opportunity to correct
problems and avoid deductions from your security deposit.

•
Make an appointment for the move-out inspection once you have removed everything
from the apartment and have completed any cleaning and/or repairs.

3)     Security deposit refunds:
•
Leave the apartment in the same condition it was in on the day you moved in,
reasonable wear and tear excepted. Refer to your copy of the Move-In Inspection
that was conducted when you took possession. Can’t recall where you put it? Just
contact the Leasing Office and they will happily provide one for you.

•
Return all keys to the Leasing Office the same day you vacate. It pays to turn
them in promptly because you will be charged rent until all keys are turned in.
Also turn in any gate access or entry devices you have been issued.

•
When you vacate your apartment, any personal property left in your apartment
will be considered abandoned and may be disposed of without liability to Mills
Properties, subject to applicable laws.

•
Provide a forwarding address. Your security deposit will be processed and any
refund due will be mailed to your forwarding address or last known address if no
forwarding is provided by you.

•
Because security deposits are not considered a part of your rental account, they
cannot be applied to the last month’s rent.

•
Provide the post office with your change of address to ensure that your mail
makes the move along with you.

Bed Bugs
It is our goal to maintain the highest quality living environmental for our
Residents. In addition, you agree to inspect the apartment within forty-eight
(48) hours after move-in and will notify us immediately of any bedbugs or bed
bug infestation.
As bedbugs are a national epidemic, we need to work together in order to prevent
an infestation. It is your responsibility to comply with the following list of
responsibilities that will minimize the occurrence of an infestation of bedbugs
in the premises. As this “Standard Apartment Lease –Terms and Conditions,
Resident Services, General Policies and Community Guidelines” become
incorporated as part of the Lease you have signed, as Resident, you agree as
follows:
1.
You are not aware of any bed bug infestation or presence in any of your
furniture, clothing, or personal property and possessions; and if you were
previously living in an apartment or home that had a bed bug infestation, that
you had all furniture, clothing, and personal property or belongings
professionally and properly cleaned and treated by a licensed pest-control
professional. During the term of the Lease, you will not bring any item into the
apartment that may contain bedbugs.

2.
You must immediately notify the Leasing Office in writing of any signs of
bedbugs because even one or two bugs can quickly multiply to create a serious
infestation. When an infestation is caught early, treatment is often quicker and
easier than when the infestation is more advanced. Please do not treat the
apartment for a bed bug infestation on your own.

25

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.
Successful detection and treatment of a bed bug infestation is dependent on your
full cooperation. You and your family members, occupants, guests, and invitees
must allow us and our pest-control professionals to access the apartment at
reasonable times to inspect for or treat bedbugs. We have the right to select
any licensed pest-control professional, and the methods used by such
professional in treating the apartment. If we confirm the presence of bedbugs,
you must follow all treatment instructions and requests and cooperate with us
and our pest-control professionals in all efforts required to treat and
eliminate the bedbugs. In doing so, you understand that you may have to
temporarily vacate the apartment and remove all furniture and personal
belongings in order for us to treat the apartment. Moreover, in some situations,
you may have to dispose of heavily infested furniture and personal belongings or
have such items professionally cleaned and treated by a licensed pest-control
professional.

4.
If during the term of your tenancy bedbugs appear in the apartment and a
pest-control professional determines that the bedbugs originated in your
apartment, you acknowledge and agree that all necessary treatments for your
apartment and other apartments or parts of the community, together with all of
our additional costs, expenses and losses will be at your cost and expense.

5.
Under no circumstances shall we, the owner/agent of the apartment community, be
responsible to you for any losses, damages or expenses including special,
consequential or punitive arising out of a bedbug infestation, inspection or
treatment. Additionally, you agree to indemnify and us hold harmless from any
actions, claims, losses, damages, or expenses, including, but not limited to,
attorney’s fees that the owner/agent may incur as a result of a bedbug
infestation, inspection or treatment. This indemnification shall not apply if
such damages, costs, losses, or expenses are directly caused by our negligence.

6.
Failure to promptly report bedbugs, failure to promptly comply with treatment
instructions, or any other violation of any of the foregoing measures is a
material violation and breach of the conditions of your Lease.

Utilities
Company and Resident agree to the billing method described below for those
utilities identified but not checked on the Terms Sheet, and which are not
billed directly to Resident by the utility company providing the services (the
“Utilities”). During the Lease Term, Company is authorized to bill Resident for,
and Resident agrees to pay, a portion of the monthly bills for such Utilities as
follows:
1.
Resident shall pay, at the option of Company in its sole discretion, either (a)
that amount stated in separate bill received by Resident each month from Company
or a billing service provider designated by Company (“Utility Bill”),

2.
To the extent permitted by law, if a Utility Bill is sent, each Utility Bill
shall be based on either (a) an estimated or actual reading of the sub meter for
the Premises, OR (b) the previous month’s actual bills for the Utilities at the
Property allocated to Resident Pursuant to an allocation formula based, in whole
or in part, upon at least one or more of the following components: the square
footage of the Premises, the number of occupants in the Premises, or the number
of fixtures in the Premises. Payment of the Utility Bill is due as noted in each
Utility Bill and shall be payable at the location identified on such Utility
Bill. Upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Resident, Company may
change the basis on which the Utility Bill is calculated.

3.
To the extent permitted by law, if a Utility Bill is sent, then, in addition to
the sub metered or allocated charge for the Utilities, Resident agrees to pay a
monthly invoice administrative fee ($4.50), which shall be included on each
Utility Bill received by Resident. Upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to
Resident, Company may change the amount of these fees.

4.
Resident represents that all occupants that will be residing in the Premises are
accurately identified in the Terms Sheet. Resident agrees to promptly notify
Company of any change in such number of occupants.

5.
To the extent permitted by law, any delinquent payment of a Utility Bill shall
be considered a default under the Lease to the same extent and with the same
remedies to Company (including, without limitation, the right

26

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

to bring a summary proceeding for eviction against Resident and the right to
impose late fees and other related charges and fees) as if Resident had been
delinquent in Resident’s payment of Rent.
6.
If Resident moves into or out of the Premises on a date other than the first of
the month, Resident will be charged the full period of time that Resident was
living in, occupying, or responsible for payment of Rent or the Utilities for
the Premises. If Resident defaults under the Lease, Resident will be responsible
for all charges for the Utilities through the time it takes for Company to
retake possession of the Premises, regardless of whether Resident is still
occupying the Premises. When the Resident vacates the Premises, all charges for
the Utilities must be paid by the move out date. To the extent permitted by law,
any unpaid charges for the Utilities at the time of the move out date will be
deducted from the security deposit being held by Company under the Lease.

7.
Resident understand that no representation or warranty by Company regarding
estimated or actual Utility Bills shall be enforceable unless it is set forth in
a writing signed by Company.

8.
Company is not liable for any losses or damages Resident incurs as the result of
outages, interruptions, or fluctuations in any Utilities provided to the
Premises. Resident releases Company from any and all such claims and waive any
claims for offset or reduction of Rent or diminished rental value of the
Premises due to such outages, interruptions, or fluctuations.

9.
If the Premises are sub metered, Resident agrees to allow Company, or a billing
service provider designated by Company, access to the Premises in order to read
the sub meter. No such access to the sub meter will unreasonably interfere with
Resident’s use or enjoyment of the Premises.

10.
Resident understands and agrees that continued occupancy of the Premises when
utility services have been discontinued is hazardous. Additionally, Resident
shall not tamper with, adjust, or disconnect any utility sub metering system or
device.

11.
Resident agrees that Resident may, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice
from Company to Resident, begin receiving a bill for utilities and services in
addition to those initially identified on the Terms Sheet, at which time such
additional utilities and services shall for all purposes be included in the term
“Utilities.”

12.
Resident shall connect all utilities, which are billed directly to Resident by
the utility company providing the services on the date Resident takes possession
of the Unit. If Resident fails to do so, Company reserves the right to charge
Resident a Utility Recovery Fee, as well as any such utility charges incurred by
Company between the date Resident takes possession of the Unit and the date such
utilities are connected in Resident’s name. Similarly, Resident shall not allow
any utilities billed directly to Resident by the utility company providing the
services to be disconnected by any means (including nonpayment of bills for such
utility services) until the date Resident vacates the Unit and the Lease is
terminated, at which time Resident shall obtain final bills and pay all
outstanding charges for utility service up to and including the date Resident
vacates the Unit. If service for any utility is disconnected prior to the date
Resident vacates the Unit, Resident will be charged $ 10.00 per day between the
date the utility is disconnected and the date Resident vacates the Unit.

MOLD NOTIFICATION AND PREVENTION MEASURES
It is our goal to maintain the highest quality living environment for our
Residents. Please know that our maintenance associates have inspected your
apartment home prior to it being leased to you and we know of no damp or wet
building materials or mold or mildew contamination.
Mold can grow, however, if the premises is not properly maintained or
ventilated. If moisture is allowed to accumulate in your apartment, it can cause
mildew and mold growth. It is important that you regularly allow air to
circulate in the apartment. It is also important that you keep the interior of
the apartment clean and that you promptly notify the Leasing Office of any
leaks, moisture problems and/or mold growth.
This is such an important issue, we need to spell things out clearly and add
some required legal language. It is your responsibility to comply with the
following list of responsibilities that will prevent the occurrence of an
infestation of mold or mildew in the premises. As this “Standard Apartment Lease
— Terms and Conditions, Resident Services, General Policies and Community
Guidelines” becomes incorporated as part of the Lease you have signed, you, as
Resident, agree to:
1.
Keep the apartment free of moisture, dirt and debris that can harbor mold.

2.
Immediately report to the Leasing Office any water intrusion, such as plumbing
leaks, drips or “sweating” walls or pipes.

3.
Notify the Leasing Office of any overflow from bathroom, kitchen, or laundry
facilities, especially when the overflow may have permeated walls or cabinets.

4.
Report to the Leasing Office any significant mold growth on surfaces inside the
premises.

5.
Allow maintenance associates to enter the apartment to inspect for mold and make
necessary repairs.

6.
Use bathroom fans while showering or bathing. However, do not leave fans on for
long periods of time. Report any non-working fan to the Leasing Office.

7.
Use exhaust fans whenever cooking, dishwashing or cleaning.

8.
Use reasonable care to close all windows and other openings to prevent outdoor
water from penetrating into the apartment.

9.
Clean and dry any visible moisture on windows, walls and other surfaces,
including your personal property, as soon as reasonably possible. (Note: Mold
can grow on damp surfaces within 24 to 48 hours.)

10.
Notify the Leasing Office of any problems with the air-conditioning or heating
systems.

11.
Indemnify and hold harmless the owner/agent of the apartment community from any
actions, claims, losses, damages and expenses, including but not limited to
attorney’s fees that may be sustained or incurred as a result of your negligence
or the negligence of any Guest or Other person living in or using the premises.

12.
Resident acknowledges that it is necessary for Resident to provide appropriate
climate control, keep the apartment clean, and take other measures to prevent
mold and mildew from accumulating in the apartment. Resident agrees to clean and
dust the apartment on a regular basis and to remove visible moisture
accumulation on windows, walls, and other surfaces as soon as reasonably
possible. Resident agrees to immediately report to the Leasing Office(i) any
evidence of a water leak or excessive moisture in the apartment, as well as in
any storage room, garage or other common area; (ii) any evidence of mold or
mildew-like growth that cannot be removed by simply applying a common household
cleaner and wiping the area; (iii) any failure or malfunction in the heating,
ventilation or air conditioning systems in the apartment; and (iv) any
inoperable doors or windows. Resident further agrees that Resident shall be
responsible for damage to the Premises and Resident’s property as well as injury
to Resident and Occupants resulting from Resident’s failure to comply with the
terms of this Paragraph.

COMMUNITY SAFETY & SECURITY SUGGESTIONS
Remember the old adage, “Better safe than sorry”? That’s certainly true when it
comes to the safety and security of you and your loved ones. There is no
security system or device that can guarantee your personal security. Safety
devices such as alarm systems, courtesy patrols, patrol services and access
gates are not guarantees against crime. The following are some prevention tips
to help you develop the awareness you need to protect yourself and enhance the
safety and security of your new home. Taking common sense precautions can help
protect you, your Occupants, Guests and your personal property. We encourage you
to consistently follow the guidelines listed below.
Inside Your Apartment
•
Always use safety devices. Keep your doors and windows locked whenever possible
while in your apartment—and be sure to lock them before leaving. Always use
additional security devices provided, including deadbolt or night latches, and
notify the Leasing Office of any defective lights, faulty locks, lost keys or
other problems.

•
Always identify your visitor before opening the door. Use the peephole or window
to confirm who is on the other side. Demand credentials from all deliverymen,
salesmen and repairmen before admitting them into your home. Check references
given by applicants for household jobs.

•
Do not admit anyone to your apartment because they claim to work for this
apartment community unless they have the proper property credentials or are
personally known to you.

•
Be cautious. Never give your telephone number or address to an unknown caller.
Never mention that you are alone. Use a generic listing on your mailbox or
doorbell—for example; use M Jones, rather than Mary Jones.

•
Keep window treatments closed. To prevent intruders from viewing the contents of
your apartment, close curtains, blinds or window shades at night and when you
leave.

•
Exercise caution. Keep window-covering cords and chains permanently out of reach
of children. The Consumer Product Safety Commission advises that strangulation
deaths can occur if children get tangled in the window cord loops while sleeping
or playing. The cords on window shades, blinds and draperies are separated to
prevent this from occurring, so please do not knot or tie the cords together.

•
Consider keeping your most valuable papers, jewelry and other precious items in
a bank safe deposit box. If you choose to keep these items at home, obtain
devices to safeguard and conceal them.

Away From Your Apartment
•
Lock all doors whenever you leave your apartment. It’s a good idea to keep the
doors locked when you are home, too. Statistics show that thousands of thieves
simply walk through open doors or windows. Lock up, even when you leave for just
a brief time!

•
Leave a light on in the apartment when you are out. Lights should be diffused
and give the appearance that more than one room is lighted. Inexpensive timers
are available that can be set to automatically operate lights and/or radios at
appropriate times.

•
Do not hide keys outside. Intruders may observe you hiding your apartment key
outside or they could discover it by accident. Keep entry codes confidential. If
you have an entry code, don’t give it to anyone.

•
Temporarily halt delivery of newspapers and mail delivery or ask a friend to
collect them when you are away for an extended period of time.

29

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

•
Be vigilant and aware of your surroundings. When driving in the parking area, be
aware of anything unusual. Report loiterers and suspicious activity to the
police.

•
Focus on car safety. Never leave your keys in the car and never leave your car
running—not even for a moment! Don’t leave valuables in your car where they can
be easily seen. Approach your car with keys in hand to avoid fumbling through
pockets and bags for keys. Check the back seat before you get into the car.
