The Point on lane Lease

- 14. Security: Hometeam Properties, LLC, at its sole option, may elect to install certain security devices or measures that are not required by law, including video recording devices. Tenant agrees that we do not promise, warrant or guarantee the safety and security of you, your guests or your personal property against the criminal actions of other residents or third parties. You have the responsibility to protect yourself and to maintain appropriate insurance to protect you and your belongings. No security system, including controlled access gates, courtesy patrol services or electronic intrusion safety devices, can guarantee protection against crime. Even elaborate security systems are subject to mechanical malfunctions, tampering, human error or personnel absenteeism and ingenious criminals can defeat or avoid these systems. Repairs to such devices cannot always be competed immediately. Therefore, you should always proceed on the assumption no security systems exist. Tenant agrees to comply with the security procedures and response actions set forth by Landlord. Tenant agrees that local law enforcement agencies, rather than Landlord, are responsible for security.
- 15. Uses: The Premises will be used solely as a dwelling to be occupied by no more than the number of persons set forth on the application for Lease, including children, and for no other purpose. No person other than Tenant and the members of the immediate family of Tenant shall be permitted to occupy the Premises without prior written consent of Lessor, provided, however, the occasional visits of guests, not to exceed two weeks during any consecutive twelve-month period without the prior written consent of Lessor, are permitted. Tenant will not use or allow the Premises to be used by any family members, guests, licensees, employees or agents for any disorderly or unlawful purpose or in any manner offensive to others and Tenant will comply with the applicable laws and ordinances. Tenant will comply with all local, state and federal laws, to include:
- a. Tenant will comply with laws regarding the illegal use, manufacture, or distribution of a controlled substance. Proof of illegal activity may be reasonably inferred by the Management Company and Lessor from fact circumstances including, but not limited to police investigations, witness and/or complaint reports, suspicious activity. For reasons of Tenant’s own safety and to abide by the Law of the City of Columbus and policy of Hometeam Properties Management, LLC.
- b. Tenant will not place upholstered furniture or grills on any exterior porch, deck, roof or any other open dwelling and will be subject to a fine of $75 per occurrence, fines/penalties imposed by the City of Columbus in addition to any costs associated with removing or storing furniture as well as any costs for roof damages. As per City of Columbus law and policy of Hometeam Properties Management, LLC, at no time are tenants allowed on roof or any exterior dwelling of unit. Any tenant caught on roof or exterior dwelling is subject to a default of the lease and a $50 fine, all applicable City fines and any damage to the building resulting from this improper use and any and all remedies provided in this lease and at law and in equity. Also, it is to be noted that tenants may not have an excessive number of people on any porch, balcony or exterior landing (more than one person per square yard is deemed excessive). Violation of this policy on and after third documented offense will be considered breach of this contract and could result in eviction.
- c. Tenant is not allowed to use property in a commercial manner or any use that allows Tenant to charge a fee and make money without prior written consent of Lessor (ex. Tenant cannot charge for parking).
- d. Tenant will not hang signs, banners or flags without prior consent from all authorities on the subject including, but not limited to the City of Columbus Code Enforcement, Historical District Code Enforcement, and the Management Company.
- e. In addition Tenant at no time shall park in the grass, yard or any area that isn’t meant for parking, and at no time is it permitted for the tenant to have unregistered or inoperable vehicles on the property either in the designated parking area or on any part of the lawn. Any cars found in violation of said terms are subject to tow at the Lessor’s and/or Tenant’s expense and a fee of Seventy Five Dollars ($75.00) will be assessed per occurrence.
- f. Tenant acknowledges that this unit has a finite number of approved bedrooms with proper egress and should there be more tenants on this lease than approved bedrooms, it is the responsibility of the Tenant to share as many bedrooms as necessary. Tenant indemnifies and holds harmless the Lessor for any improper use of unapproved space by Tenant. Lessor is held harmless if certain rooms are not considered bedrooms by any other agencies due to size, location, etc.
- g. Tenant is responsible for placing bath mats outside each tub and shower. If we enter the property and a mat is not found and water is damaging the floors or leaking through the ceilings, the Tenant will be responsible for the damage.
- h. Due to the multi-tenant and residential nature of the Community, offensive or disruptive noises or odors of any kind are prohibited in the Community. Tenant and tenant guests should, at all times, maintain order in the Apartment and in all of your and their conduct in the Community. Loud, offensive or boisterous activities or odors or other conduct that unreasonably disturbs the comfort, sleep or enjoyment of other residents and their guests in the Community (including unreasonable uses of televisions, radios, guitars, pianos, keyboards, stereo systems and computers) are not permitted in the Community. Band instruments of any kind may not be played in the Community without our prior written consent.

If the Apartment at any time is occupied on a non-transient basis by any person or persons not approved in writing by Landlord, Tenant shall be in default of this Lease and Landlord may avail itself of those remedies provided under Paragraph (17) hereof, including the right to terminate this Lease. Tenant covenants and agrees that Tenant will not allow anyone else to occupy the Apartment, nor assign this Lease or sublet the Apartment, or any part thereof, without the Landlord’s consent in writing.

Guests: Although Tenant may have visitors from time to time, it is understood that occupancy of the Premises is expressly reserved for Tenant only, and any persons occupying the Premises as a guest for more than seven (7) days during the Term shall be treated as guests only if the Manager is notified in writing by Tenant and consents thereto. Otherwise, the occupancy of the Premises by an unauthorized guest in excess of said fourteen (14) day period shall be deemed a breach of this Lease, and Landlord shall be entitled to recover from the Tenant a violation fee of twice the posted amount, in addition to the right of Landlord to declare the Lease in default and pursue any of Landlord’s other remedies hereunder or by law.
- b. Vacant Bed: If the Apartment consists of more than one bedroom, Landlord has the right, when any bed within the Apartment is unoccupied, to place a new Tenant in the unoccupied Bedroom unless you and all other Tenants in the Apartment agree to pay Landlord, as part of Tenant’s respective Rent, the rent due and other charges due for such unoccupied Bedroom. Tenant is not allowed to use any vacant room or bed in the Apartment for any purpose whatsoever unless Tenant is paying rent for the room. If Landlord discovers that Tenant is using a room or bed in the Apartment that should be vacant, Landlord has the right to charge an amount equal to twice the posted amount of a violation fee plus the cost of refurbishment. If this situation is discovered and none of the Tenants of the Apartment claim responsibility, then the charges will be divided evenly among the Leaseholders of the Apartment. Multiple violations will result in multiple charges both for illegal use of the room and for refurbishment of the room.
