compromise, or reinstate tenancies. ANY EXPENSE OF LITIGATION THAT IS NOT
RECOVERED FROM THE TENANT BECOMES AN OWNER EXPENSE TO BE PAID BY THE OWNER.

In the event that the Agent advances monies on behalf of the Owner's account, or
the Owner is indebted to the Agent for any reasons arising out of this
Agreement, the Owner agrees to promptly pay upon demand such indebtedness to the
Agent. Any such indebtedness not paid within twenty (20) days after notice shall

County, Municipal, or other governmental Statute or Association Covenant, the
Agent, upon giving written notice to the Owner, may terminate this agreement
within seven (7) days.

does not constitute a liability to the Tenant in the event of military transfer,
corporate transfer, or military or corporate discharge.

REPAIRS & CLEAN-UP: The Agent is granted full power and authority by the Owner
to contract for any repairs or clean-up (costs not to exceed Three Hundred
Dollars ($300.00) per item) which in the judgement of the Agent is necessary to
maintain the premises in rentable condition. The costs of such clean-up or
repair shall be paid out of the Owner's funds. This amount may be exceeded in
the event an emergency exists that requires immediate action to protect the
Premises or to maintain services to Tenants as called for in the lease.

EMPLOYEES: The Agent is authorized to hire, discharge and supervise employees
and labor required for the maintenance of the Premises. It is agreed that
employees shall be deemed the employees of the Owner and not of the Agent. The

and pet deposits and shall have the right to keep said deposits in an interest
bearing trust account with accrued interest paid to the Agent to offset costs of
bookkeeping and account operating expenses. Security deposits shall be returned
to the Tenant upon vacation of the premises, at the discretion of the Agent, and
after the Agent determines if any monies are to be retained due to outstanding
Tenant debts or damage to the premises, normal wear and tear expected. Monies
retained from the Tenant will be credited to the Owner's funds.

ADVERTISING COSTS: In the event it becomes necessary to pay for advertising to
obtain a Tenant, such costs are paid for from the Owner's funds.

first month's rent shall be charged for the acquisition of each new Tenant. This
fee is not charged when re-leasing to an existing Tenant. The management fee is

when the premises are vacant. The minimum monthly management fee is fifty
dollars ($50.00) per property when the Premises are occupied.

required in collecting late rent and processing returned checks the Agent will
retain any monies charged to the Tenant for these purposes.
