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.

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.

Resident shall not pay Agent in cash. Agent shall apply on Resident’s account all monies received from Resident in Agent’s sole and absolute discretion, regardless of any notations on payments made by Resident or when Resident’s obligation to pay such monies arose.

If any utilities are sub-metered for the Premises, Agent will attach an addendum to this Agreement if required by law.

Resident agrees to pay Agent all costs incurred by Agent in connection with collecting any rent, amounts, or damages owed by Resident under this Agreement or to enforce any provision of this Agreement, including but not limited to any collection costs and reasonable attorneys' fees from the date any such matter is turned over to an attorney and regardless of whether suit is commenced.  Resident agrees to pay eighteen percent (18%) interest compounded annually on all unpaid rent, amounts, or damages owed by Resident from that date of Agent’s final accounting until such time Resident pays all outstanding amounts.  Unless precluded by law, Agent and Resident agree that any action or proceeding arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement, regardless of whether such claim is based on contract, tort, or other legal theory, shall be heard by a court sitting without a jury and thus Resident hereby waives all rights to a trial by jury.  In any suit, Agent and Resident agree that the court shall award to Agent Agent’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs if Agent prevails in any such suit.  Resident agrees that suit shall have the broadest possible meaning and includes by way of example but not by way of limitation any lawsuit, governmental agency action, including but not limited to any fair housing claim, or any other proceeding, between Agent and Resident to enforce this Agreement, arising from this Agreement, or an any way connected with this Agreement or Resident’s tenancy at the Premises, including but not limited to litigation concerning Resident's Security Deposit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph or Lease, Agent and Resident agree that the Court shall award the prevailing party in any eviction or unlawful detainer action, his/her/their reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.   
12.    ABANDONMENT.  Resident covenants to occupy the Premises and shall be in default if Resident does not occupy the Premises on a regular, continuing, and consistent basis unless otherwise agreed to by Agent in writing.  Resident shall have abandoned or surrendered the Premises if Resident turns in all keys or access devices regardless of whether rent is paid or not. Resident shall have abandoned or surrendered the Premises if the Resident's personal belongings have been substantially removed, and in Agent's reasonable judgment the Resident does not appear to be living in the Premises, and if any of the following events occur: any move-out or notice to vacate date has passed; Resident is in default for non-payment of rent for five (5) consecutive days; water, gas electric, or any other service for the Premises connected in Resident's name has been terminated or disconnected; or Agent is in the process of judicially evicting Resident for any reason. Resident also abandons or surrenders the Premises ten (10) days after the death of a sole resident.  If Resident abandons the Premises or vacates the Premises for any reason and leaves personal property within the Premises, Resident specifically and irrevocably waives all title and interest Resident has to such property and grants to Agent full authority to immediately dispose of same without notice, court order, or accountability.  Resident shall indemnify Owner, Agent, Agent’s employees and representatives against any claim or cost for any damages or expense with regard to the removal, disposal or storage of any property, including attorneys’ fees and costs regardless of who makes a claim against Agent or any other indemnified in connection with Agent’s removal of any property.
13.    HOLDING OVER.  Agent may terminate Resident’s tenancy at the end of any term, extension, or renewal upon thirty (30) days written notice to Resident prior to the end of the term, extension, or renewal being terminated.  Any notice given by Agent to any Resident is notice to all Residents who executed this Lease.  Agent may deliver any notice to Resident by personal delivery or by posting on the premises.  If with the consent of Agent, Resident continues in possession of the Premises after expiration of the Lease Term, any extension, or renewal, this Lease shall become a month-to-month lease, subject to all the terms and conditions of this Lease. If Resident becomes a month-to-month tenant, Resident shall pay Agent for any month-to-month period rent equivalent to the last month of the preceding term plus $«MonthToMonthFee» per month as a month–to-month fee.  Resident shall be liable for and pay all month-to-month fees without prior notice or demand from Agent.  Agent may raise any rent paid by Resident when Resident is a month-to-month tenant upon thirty (30) days notice to Resident prior to the 1st day of the month for which any rent increase would be effective.  The Lease shall then remain in effect on a month-to-month basis until terminated by either party in accordance with the requirements of this Lease or pursuant to statute.  Upon receipt of any notice to vacate from Agent, Resident shall vacate on or before date specified in the notice.  If without the consent of Agent, Resident continues in possession of the Premises and fails to vacate or fails to turn in any keys after expiration and termination of any lease term, extension, or renewal, or after any notice to vacate, Resident shall be wrongfully holding over.  For any wrongful hold over period, Resident shall pay Agent rent in the amount of two (2) times the daily rent

calculated by using the total monthly rent from the preceding month.  
14.    LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.  Resident shall repay any Lease Concessions and shall be liable to Agent for a lease break fee if for any reason prior to the end of the Lease Term, any extension, or renewal, Resident vacates the Premises for any reason without fully performing all Lease covenants including Resident’s covenant to pay all rent due under the Lease (hereinafter “Lease Break Event”) for any term, extension, or renewal other than a term for month-to-month.  Upon the occurrence of a Lease Break Event, Resident shall pay a lease break fee in the amount of $«LiquidatedDamages» as well as pay, repay, or refund any Lease Concessions in the total amount set forth in any Lease Concession Addendum.  Resident shall pay and otherwise be liable to Agent for the lease break fee plus the repayment of any Lease Concessions upon the occurrence of a Lease Break Event regardless of the circumstances which Resident vacates including but not limited to voluntary surrender, at the request of Agent as the result of Resident’s default under the Lease, as the result of an eviction or forcible detainer proceeding or otherwise.  Resident agrees that the lease break fee is a liquidated damage amount agreed to by Resident in consideration of, among other things, Agent’s waiver to seek from Resident future rent for the entire amount of any uncompleted rental term, plus re-letting related fees, costs, and expenses in the event of Resident’s default. If a Lease Break Event occurs, Resident and Agent intend and agree to fix and liquidate Resident’s liability for future rent and re-letting damages.  Resident agrees that the lease break fee agreed to be paid by Resident upon the occurrence of a Lease Break Event represents a fair amount and method to allocate the numerous risks and liabilities regarding future rent and re-letting damages between Resident and Agent.  Resident agrees the lease break fee only relieves Resident from liability for the future payment of base monthly rent and re-letting related costs and expenses.  Resident’s agreement to pay the lease break fee and repay any concessions, or Resident’s actual payment of the lease break fee and repayment of any concessions shall not under any circumstances release Resident for any liability to Agent under this Lease for any other charges or amounts due under the Lease, including but not limited to unpaid utilities, cleaning charges, or any physical damages to the Premises, and Resident shall at all times remain liable for said amounts or any other breaches of the Lease. Agent shall retain all remedies for Resident’s breaches and other non-compliance with the Lease.  Resident shall not be released from liability on this Agreement for any reason whatsoever unless specifically released by Agent in writing.
Resident Must Initial ________________________    
15.    DELAY IN DELIVERY OF POSSESSION AND FAILURE TO PAY UPON COMMENCEMENT.  If Agent does not deliver possession of the Premises on or before the Commencement Date for any reason, Agent shall not be liable to Resident for any damages whatsoever for failure to deliver possession on that date, but Rent payable under this Lease shall be abated on a daily basis until Agent delivers possession to Resident. If Agent does not deliver possession of the Premises to Resident within thirty (30) days from the Commencement Date, either Resident or Agent may thereafter terminate this Lease by written notice. Rent abatement or lease termination does not apply if delay is for cleaning or repairs that do not prevent Resident from occupying the Apartment, or if Agent has offered to Resident substitute Premises of comparable location and quality at no additional cost to Resident. If this Lease is not terminated, the original ending day shall not be extended by reason of any delay in delivering possession of the apartment.  Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Agent, Resident shall pay, prior to occupying the Premises or on or before the Commencement Date of the Lease Term, whichever is earlier, an amount equal to the Total Deposits, any other fees and charges, the prorated rent if the Lease Term commences on a day other than the first day of the month, and the first full month of total monthly rent if this Lease commences after the 20th day of any month.  If Resident fails to pay any amount due under this paragraph, Resident shall be in default, and Agent may exercise any and all rights and remedies under this Lease or at law including, without limitation, notice to vacate and imposition of late fees as set forth in paragraph 8.
16.    MOVE-IN AND MOVE-OUT.  Resident acknowledges that Resident has inspected the Premises, and that the Premises are in an acceptable "as-is" condition, and that the Premises are in good, clean, and acceptable repair except as specifically otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing on Resident’s Move-In/Move-Out Checklist (Addendum D).  Resident specifically acknowledges that no condition exists in the Premises that makes the Premises materially dangerous or hazardous to Resident’s life, health, or safety.  Immediately upon occupying, Resident will inspect the Premises and report any defects or problems on the Move-In/Move-Out Checklist.  The Move-In/Move-Out Checklist must be signed and returned to Agent within 48 hours of occupancy upon which it will be attached hereto and made a part of this Lease.  Resident’s failure to report any defects or problems with the Premises on the Move-In/Move-Out Checklist within 48 hours of move-in is and shall be a binding admission that the items described in the Move-In/Move-Out Checklist are acceptable and in good condition.  Subject to the information on the Move-In/Move-Out Checklist, unless otherwise prohibited by law, Resident accepts the Apartment in as-is condition, without representation or warranty of any kind, whether express or implied.   Unless precluded by law, Agent specifically disclaims and Resident specifically waives any warranty or covenant of quiet enjoyment.  Upon moving out, Resident must thoroughly clean the apartment, including doors, windows, closets, bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen appliances, patios, balconies, garages, carports, and storage rooms, and otherwise fully comply with Agent’s written move-out and cleaning policies, which are incorporated by reference.  If Resident does not clean adequately, Resident shall be liable for reasonable cleaning charges, including charges for cleaning carpets, draperies, furniture, walls, etc., that are soiled beyond normal wear and tear.  Resident shall notify Agent in writing, via first-class mail, postage pre-paid, at least fifteen (15) days prior to Resident’s final move-out date, that Resident requests to meet Agent at the Premises to inspect the Premises using Agent's Move-In/Move-Out Checklist. Upon Agent’s receipt of Resident’s request for a move-out inspection with Agent, Agent will notify Resident, via certified mail, of the date and time of the inspection. Upon move- out, Resident shall deliver to Agent at the onsite Management Office all keys to the Premises, access cards or devices, and remotes (collectively “keys”) issued by Agent to Resident to avoid disputes regarding the date Resident vacated and surrendered the premises.  Resident shall not have vacated and surrendered possession of the Premises to Agent until and unless Resident has either turned in all keys to the Premises and Agent has acknowledged receipt of Resident’s keys, or Resident has abandoned.  If Resident fails to turn in keys, Resident agrees that Resident shall be liable for rent and any other damages in accordance with this Lease through the date Resident vacated and surrendered the Premises as determined by Agent in Agent’s reasonable judgment.
17.    USE AND OCCUPANCY.  Resident covenants that the Premises are to be used and occupied by Resident as Resident's principal residence, solely as a private residential household, not for any unlawful purpose, and not for any other purpose whatsoever, including any business purpose that is not specifically allowed by this Lease. Conducting any kind of business except as set forth specifically herein, including but not limited to childcare services (defined as the simultaneous care of children from more than one family), in the Premises is prohibited.  Resident may conduct business in the Premises if such business activity is conducted entirely by computer, telephone, or mail, and no clients, patients, or other business associates come to the Premises for business purposes; and if any business so conducted complies with all applicable laws.  Resident shall only use hallways, passageways, and access points for entry or exit. Resident shall show due consideration for others and shall not behave in a loud or

obnoxious manner, interfere with, disturb, or threaten the rights, comfort, health, safety, convenience, quiet enjoyment, and use of the community by Agent, Agent’s employees, Owner, or Owner’s agents or employees, other residents and occupants and any of their guests, invitees, or the general public (collectively “others”).  In Agent’s sole discretion, Agent may limit or prohibit Resident from photographing or videoing the community common areas or any persons in the common areas.  Resident shall not disrupt or interfere with Agent’s business operations, or communicate with Agent, Owner, or their employees in an unreasonable, rude, or hostile manner.  Agent may exclude from Resident’s apartment or the apartment community guests or others who, in Agent’s reasonable judgment, have been violating the law, violating this Agreement, or disturbing other residents, neighbors, visitors, or Agent, its employees, or others.  Agent may also exclude from Resident’s apartment or any outside area or common area any person who refuses to show photo identification or refuses to identify himself or herself as a Resident, occupant, or guest of a specific resident in the community.  Agent may deny any Resident access to the Premises, including by changing the locks, if any court or legal order restrains or bars a Resident from the Premises.  Agent shall be the sole judge of acceptable conduct.  Resident agrees not to permit, commit, or suffer any conduct disorderly or otherwise, noise, vibration, odor, or other nuisance whatsoever about the Premises, having a tendency to annoy or disturb others and to use no machinery, device, or any other apparatus which would damage the Premises or annoy others.  Resident shall not injure Agent’s or Owner’s reputation by making bad faith allegations against Agent or Owners to others.  Occupation of the Premises is subject to applicable occupancy standards determined by law and by Agent.  Only authorized occupants shall occupy the Premises.  Agent must approve any change of authorized occupants in writing prior to occupancy except for children born or adopted during the term of the Lease, but such children are subject to applicable occupancy standards.  If any unauthorized person occupies the Premises for more than seven (7) days without Agent’s consent, such person shall be deemed an unauthorized occupant and shall be subject to Agent’s approval.  Any approval of any occupant is in Agent’s sole and absolute discretion.  Agent may specifically condition any approval upon, among other things, such unauthorized occupant completing the normal residency application process including a rental application and paying Agent’s application fee or other customary fees and charges required by new residents.  Upon Agent’s demand, Resident shall provide to Agent any information necessary to establish the residence of any person who appears to be residing at the Premises in Agent’s reasonable judgment.  If Agent claims that any person residing in Resident’s Premises is an unauthorized occupant, Resident shall bear the burden of proving in any court action or eviction proceeding that the person challenged by Agent as an unauthorized occupant does not reside at the Premises.
18.    PROHIBITED CONDUCT.  Resident shall not engage in, commit, or permit unlawful activities whether or not such unlawful activities occur in, near, or about the Premises.  Resident shall not physically harm others or himself.  Except for minor traffic violations, Residents shall comply with and otherwise not violate any laws, regulations, statutes or ordinances, or engage in any conduct or activities that would cause Agent to be in violation of the same.  Resident shall not create, bring onto, store, or use within Premises any hazardous or toxic substances, waste materials, pollutants, or contaminants.  Resident and other persons shall not engage in or facilitate any criminal activity.  Criminal activity means any crime regardless of felony or misdemeanor classification, conviction, or penalty and includes but is not limited to any criminal activity that has as one of its elements the use, attempted use or threatened use of physical force against the person or property of another; any intimidation or harassment of others; the manufacture, sale, distribution, use or possession of a controlled substance, as defined by federal law, or defined by any other law, the manufacture, sale, distribution, use or possession of any illegal drug regardless of amount, or the possession of drug paraphernalia.  Resident and Agent agree that any criminal activity as defined in this paragraph, this Lease, or at law is an act which endangers the person and willfully and substantially endangers the property of Agent, Owner, co-Residents, persons living on or near the premises, and that such criminal activity constitutes a substantial material incurable breach of this Agreement.  Resident agrees that Resident is at all times responsible for the conduct and actions of all occupants, children, family members, guests, invitees, licensees of Resident, or any other person on the Premises or the community due to Resident, regardless of any culpability or knowledge on Resident’s part. Resident may not assert as a defense in any eviction action against Resident based on violation of this paragraph that Resident did not know any other person was in violation of this paragraph. Because Resident and Agent agree that a violation of this paragraph constitutes a material incurable breach of this Agreement, Resident specifically, knowingly, and intentionally waives any and all legal rights of any kind whatsoever to claim or insist that Agent must first serve Resident with a demand for compliance or possession in order to initiate an eviction action against Resident for recovery of the Premises.  Upon any violation of this paragraph by Resident, Agent may terminate Resident’s right to occupancy without terminating the Lease or Resident’s obligation to pay rent as set forth in the Lease at Agent’s election.  Agent’s termination of Resident’s right to occupancy shall be effective with right of eviction upon Agent’s written notice to vacate to Resident in accordance with Maryland law, and local county and city ordinances..  Unless required by law, Agent shall not be required to serve any other notices upon Resident in order to terminate Resident’s right of possession.  Proof of the violation of this paragraph shall be by a preponderance of the evidence, unless otherwise provided by law. 
19.    USE OF AMENITIES AND COMMUNITY POLICIES.  Resident agrees to comply with all rules, regulations, and policies now or hereafter set forth by Agent pertaining to the use of community swimming pools, playground, sport court, tennis court, Jacuzzi, sauna, barbecue, fitness center, fire pit, or any other amenities. In addition to any other applicable provision, Resident agrees to indemnify and hold Agent and Owner harmless from any cost, expense, loss, damage, or lawsuit resulting from any injury to Resident’s property, Resident, Resident’s family, guest, invitee, or any person as a result of the use of any amenities.  Resident agrees to abide and comply with all rules and regulations of the apartment community (hereinafter “Community Policies”) as promulgated by Agent.  Resident’s failure to abide with, comply with, or breach of the Community Policies is a default under this Lease and subjects Resident to eviction.  By executing this Lease, Resident acknowledges receipt of the current Community Policies.  Resident agrees and acknowledges that Agent may from time to time amend, abolish, change, or enact new Community Policies for health, safety, business, financial, legal, or any other legitimate reasons as long as the Community Policies apply to all applicable Residents.  Resident further acknowledges that Agent may amend, change, abolish, or enact new Community Policies without prior notice to Resident, and that all Community Policies are effective upon distribution to Resident regardless of whether Resident has acknowledged receiving or consented to any change in or enactment of any Community Policy at any time.
20.    MAINTENANCE OF PREMISES.  Resident shall use customary diligence in maintaining and not damaging the premises, and/or the common areas of the community.  Resident shall maintain the residence in a clean, sanitary, neat, safe, fit, habitable, and undamaged condition; shall not permit any unlawful or wasteful activity on the Premises; and shall comply with all laws regarding public health and safety. Resident shall dispose of all ashes, rubbish, garbage, and any other waste in a clean and safe manner on a regular basis.  Resident must use plumbing fixtures and facilities, electrical, sanitary, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and any other mechanical systems and appliances in a safe and reasonable manner and in the manner and for the purposes for which they were designed.  Without Agent’s prior written consent, Resident shall not make any alterations to the Premises, place stickers, deface or permit the defacing of any part of the Premises; use or install any shades, awnings or window guards; tamper with, install, or remove any existing alarm systems, locks, air-conditionings units, space heaters, antennas,

additional phone or cable TV outlets, satellite dishes, or additional fixtures.  Resident shall not drill any holes into the walls, woodwork, or floors of the Premises. If Resident makes or installs any decorations, alterations, additions, or fixtures without Agent’s prior written consent, Resident agrees to remove, correct, repair, or replace at Resident’s expense.  Unless authorized by statute or by Agent’s prior written consent, Resident shall not perform any repairs, painting, wallpapering, carpeting, electrical changes or modifications to electrical appliances, or otherwise alter the Premises in any manner.  In order to prevent damage in the Premises and to the community and to, among other things, retard and prevent mold and mildew in humid conditions, and to avoid freezing pipes in cold weather, Resident shall at all times provide appropriate or reasonable climate control, ventilation, and lighting in the unit based on the circumstances.  For similar reasons and others, Resident shall promptly notify Agent in writing of any mechanical, plumbing, air conditioning or heating malfunctions, visible moisture accumulation, water leakage, or mold growth.
21.    REPAIRS AND MALFUNCTIONS.  Resident shall promptly request, in writing, any repairs to be made to the Premises or its fixtures, alarm devices, and other equipment that belong to Agent, except in the case of emergency when oral requests for repairs to the management office will be accepted.  In any circumstance or situation which involves immediate, imminent, or substantial risk of harm or damage to property or person, their health or safety, Resident shall notify Agent immediately of any such circumstances, situation, malfunction, or necessity for repair.  Such circumstances may include but are not limited to malfunctions of equipment, fixtures, alarm devices, overflowing sewage, utilities (electrical shorts, gas leaks, or uncontrollable running water), smoke, fire, explosions, or any other cause.  Upon Agent’s actual receipt of Resident’s written request for repairs (or upon Agent’s oral notification in case of an emergency), Agent shall act with reasonable diligence and in a commercially reasonable manner, depending on the facts and circumstances in making such repairs.  After any request for repair by Resident, or during the making of any repair by Agent, the Lease shall continue in full force and effect and the rent shall not abate during any such period, except in the event of a casualty event making the Premises unfit for habitability within the meaning of Paragraph 30.  In making any repair or maintaining the Premises or property, Agent may temporarily turn off equipment and interrupt utilities to the Premises or Property or temporarily take any additional action reasonably necessary, in Agent’s sole and absolute discretion, to effect the repair or perform the maintenance, and to avoid damage to property, the Premises, or the community without any liability to Resident whatsoever.  Resident shall not under any circumstances whatsoever either deduct from rent for any repair or make any repair and attempt to deduct the cost from rent owed to Agent.
22.    LIABILITY.  Resident, Resident's family, occupants, guests, invitees, or any person entering on or about the Premises due to Resident (hereinafter collectively "Resident") assume any risk(s) whatsoever of damage or injury, whether to person or property, loss, or destruction of property, in connection with Resident's occupancy of the Premises or in association with Resident’s use of the community of which the Premises are a part (hereinafter "Risks").  Such Risks include but are not limited to damage or injury caused by third parties, animals, fire, smoke, water, water leaks, fire sprinklers, ice, snow, lightning, explosions, mold, theft, vandalism, weather or natural elements, interruption of heating/cooling, utilities, and plumbing systems, use of storerooms or lockers, use of swimming pools, fitness and business centers, recreational facilities, fire pit, or any other amenity or facility located in the apartment community or the lands constituting the same. Agent has no duty to remove any ice, sleet, or snow but may remove any amount with or without obligation, notice, or liability.  Resident agrees that all property kept in the Premises shall be at the risk of the Resident. To the greatest extent permitted by law, Agent shall not be liable to Resident, even for negligent acts or omissions of Agent or Agent's agents, for any damage or injury, whether to person or property, loss, or destruction to Resident's property, including, but not limited to any damage or injury, whether to person or property, loss, or destruction of property sustained by Resident from any cause, including but not limited to the causes and Risks set forth herein.  To the greatest extent permitted by law, Resident agrees to hold Owner and Agent harmless and to indemnify Owner and Agent against and from any lawsuit, loss, cost, expense, damage, or claim including attorneys' fees and costs resulting from any injury, whether to property or to person, whether to Resident, Resident’s family, occupants, guests, invitees, or any person entering the Premises or the community of which the Premises is a part.  Unless prohibited by law, Resident waives any insurance subrogation rights or claims against Agent, Owner, and their insurers.  No employee, agent, or management company is personally liable for any of Agent’s contractual, statutory, or other obligations merely by virtue of acting on behalf of Agent.  All provisions regarding Agent’s non or no-liability and no-duty apply to Owner, Owner’s and Agent’s employees, agents, and management companies. BECAUSE RESIDENT IS NOT COVERED BY OWNER’S OR AGENT’S INSURANCE AND BECAUSE OF THE RISK ASSUMED BY RESIDENT UNDER THIS LEASE AND PARAGRAPH, AGENT REQUIRES RESIDENT AND RESIDENT AGREES TO SECURE A COMPLYING RENTER’S INSURANCE POLICY TO INSURE AND PROTECT RESIDENT AGAINST RISK OF LOSSES FROM ANY CAUSE. RESIDENT AGREES THAT A COMPLYING RENTER’S INSURANCE POLICY IS AN ALL RISK PROPERTY AND LIABILITY INSURANCE POLICY WITH $100,000 MINIMUM OF LIABILITY COVERAGE. RESIDENT AGREES THAT RESIDENT MUST MEET ALL RENTER’S INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS IN BOTH THIS LEASE AND THE RENTER’S INSURANCE ADDENDUM PRIOR TO AGENT BEING OBLIGATED TO PROVIDE RESIDENT WITH KEYS TO THE PREMISES.  If Resident fails to obtain and maintain renter’s insurance, Resident’s failure shall constitute a material breach of this Lease. To avoid such a breach, Resident agrees that Agent may, but is not required to, purchase, at Resident’s expense, a policy of standard coverage that meets such insurance requirements. Resident also agrees that the cost of any insurance purchased by Agent for Resident shall be charged to Resident as additional rent.
23.    SECURITY AND CRIME. Agent disclaims any and all warranties of security, crime prevention, or reduced risk of crime whether express or implied. Resident acknowledges and agrees that protection against criminal action is not within Agent’s power, that Agent does not provide and does not have a duty to provide any security protection services, security lighting, or any other security measures at the Community, that Agent may but has no obligation to conduct criminal background checks on actual or potential residents or occupants, that Resident shall look solely to the police and public law enforcement for security protection, and that Resident is responsible for their and their occupants personal security at all times. Agent shall not be liable for failure to provide any security or security related measures and for any criminal or wrongful actions by third parties against Resident, occupants, guests or others, including actions by others which cause damage to the property of Resident, occupants or guests. Any security measures taken by Agent shall at all times be for Agent’s own purposes and may be altered, changed, or abolished by Agent at any time.  Any security measures taken by Agent shall not create any obligation on Agent’s part to guarantee that such measures are working or are operational, or to take further measures, shall not create a guarantee of security or effectiveness or a guarantee against crime or reduced risk of crime, and shall not constitute in any respect a waiver of, or in any manner modify, or alter Agent’s disclaimers of security as set forth in this paragraph.   Resident agrees not to act in any way, which may interfere with or impair any security measure or device in use or put in use by Agent.  In the event of accident, fire, smoke, suspected criminal activity, or other emergency involving imminent harm, Resident should contact local medical emergency, fire, or police personnel.  Resident should then contact Agent.  If Resident or any occupant or guest is affected by a crime, Resident shall make a written report to Agent and to the appropriate local law-enforcement agency and furnish to Agent the law-enforcement agency’s report number upon request.  Information regarding registered sex offenders is available from

local law enforcement agencies upon request.  
24.    RE-ENTRY.  Resident shall allow Agent access to the Premises at all reasonable times for the purpose of inspection, to make necessary repairs or improvements, or to show the Premises to prospective residents, purchasers, or mortgagees, or to any other person having a legitimate or necessary interest therein.  Agent shall have the right to re-enter the Premises, with notice when practical, without notice when not practical, at any reasonable time to examine, inspect, repair, show, or for any other legitimate or necessary purpose which Agent determines in its sole discretion.  No entry or re-entry by Agent shall constitute an eviction in whole or in part, at any time, nor shall Agent be liable to Resident for any inconvenience or discomfort, and the rent shall not abate during any period that Agent re-enters.  Agent may enter, regardless of whether Resident is present, by duplicate key or by breaking a window or other means when necessary in Agent’s sole discretion.  Agent may enter at anytime in response to an emergency.
25.    ASSIGNMENT.  Agent may assign this Lease.  Resident shall not assign this Lease, or sublet the Premises, or any part thereof without the prior written consent of Agent, which consent may be withheld in Agent's sole and absolute discretion.  Resident shall not allow any person to occupy the same other than those occupants listed in this Lease to whom the Premises are rented under this Lease.  Resident may add, subtract, or substitute one or more Residents but only after first obtaining Agent’s written consent.  Agent conditions any change of residents on requiring any proposed Resident to complete Agent’s application process and upon all parties executing all documents required by Agent, including but not limited to executing a written release of applicable security deposits.  If Agent approves a replacement, any departing Resident(s)’ Security Deposit automatically will transfer to and for the benefit of the replacement Resident(s), and the departing Resident(s) waive any and all security deposit rights including any rights to an accounting or refund.
26.    JOINT and SEVERAL LIABILITY.  Each person executing this Lease is fully and personally liable and obligated for promises, covenants, and agreements in this Lease, including but in no way limited to the promise to pay any and all rent and other amounts.  In the event of default, Agent may enforce his rights under this Lease against each person individually or against all the persons.  Agent’s notice to any Resident constitutes notice to all Residents and occupants.
27.    VEHICLES AND PARKING.  Not withstanding anything to the contrary, Resident agrees that Agent shall have the exclusive right and power to regulate and control any aspect of motor vehicles (includes cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs, trailers, etc.) and parking at the community at any time.  Agent’s right and power includes but is not limited to the right but not the obligation to assign or designate parking spaces.  If Resident has executed a Garage, Carport (Parking), Storage Addendum, Resident agrees that Agent may cancel, change, or amend the Garage, Carport (Parking), Storage Addendum or reassign Resident a different garage, and/or parking space upon 72 hours written notice to Resident.  
28.    ANIMALS - PETS. Resident shall not be allowed to have or bring, even temporarily, any animal (including mammals, reptiles, birds, fish, rodents, or insects) anywhere in the Premises or on the community property at any time, except by prior written consent of Agent.  If Agent agrees to permit Resident an animal (“pet”), prior to having any pet on the Premises or at the community, Resident agrees to pay all applicable fees and deposits, and both Resident and Agent must sign a separate pet agreement or addendum.  Resident’s bringing into or onto the Premises or the community property or the keeping or possession of any animal for any duration without Agent’s written consent shall constitute a substantial violation of this Lease.  Resident agrees that violation of this paragraph may result in the immediate termination by Agent of Resident’s right to possession of the Premises upon Agent’s written notice to vacate to Resident in accordance with Maryland, and local county and city ordinances. 
Resident Must Initial ________________________
29.    SEVERABILITY.  Invalidation of any one of the foregoing provisions, covenants, or promises by judgment or court order shall in no way affect any of the other provisions, covenants, or promises contained in this Agreement which will remain in full force and effect.  No provision, covenant, or promise contained in this Agreement shall be deemed invalid or unenforceable because such provision, covenant, or promise does not provide for or grant Agent or Resident equal or reciprocal rights. 
30.    CASUALTY, CONDEMNATION, OR EMINENT DOMAIN.  If the Premises or any part of the community are destroyed due to fire, explosion, or other casualty, or if the Premises or any part of the community become unsafe, hazardous, or uninhabitable as determined by Agent in its sole and absolute discretion, Agent may, at its option, upon written notice to Resident either immediately terminate this Lease or repair the Premises.  Regardless of the extent of damage to the Premises or any portion of the community, Agent may also upon written notice immediately terminate this Lease, if in Agent’s sole and absolute discretion, any repairs necessitated by any event would be either impractical or dangerous if Resident continued to occupy the Premises.  If Agent elects to repair the Premises and if the damage or casualty event is not due to Resident’s negligence or intentional conduct in Agent’s sole and absolute determination, the Rent on the damaged Premises shall be abated and prorated from the date on which the Premises became uninhabitable to the date on which Resident may reoccupy the Premises, as determined by Agent in its sole discretion.  If the damage or casualty event is due to Resident’s negligence or intentional conduct, the rent shall not abate or prorate and Resident shall be liable to Agent for any amounts due under this Lease plus all damage caused by such negligent or intentional conduct.  If the damage or casualty event is not due to Resident’s negligence or intentional conduct and if Agent elects to repair the Premises, Agent may, but has no obligation to, provide suitable substitute accommodations within the Community upon terms and conditions acceptable to Agent.  If Agent provides any substitute accommodations, Agent may but shall not be required to pay any costs associated with providing any substituted accommodations.  After any casualty event and repair, Agent may elect to have Resident vacate any substituted accommodations or Premises and reoccupy any repaired Premises.  If Agent does not elect to repair the Premises, the building in which the Premises are located, or the community, this Lease shall immediately terminate.  In the event of any casualty, Agent shall under no circumstances be obligated to Resident for finding or paying for replacement accommodations and for any other expense, damage, or inconvenience suffered by Resident.  Resident is required to obtain appropriate insurance to protect Resident against such event.  If the whole or any part of the Premises is taken by governmental authority under eminent domain for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, then the Lease Term will terminate on the date when possession of the part so taken is required for such use or purpose.  All damages awarded for such taking will belong to and are the property of Agent.

represents only the Owner’s interests in this transaction.  Legacy is not considered an agent for the Resident(s) at any time for any reason.  Resident(s) are a customer in this transaction.  A customer is a party to a real estate transaction with whom the broker (Legacy) has no brokerage relationship because such party has not engaged or employed the broker, either as the party's agent or as the party's transaction-broker.  Resident(s) acknowledge that prior to executing this Lease, Legacy advised and recommended that Resident(s) obtain either their own broker or legal advice from an attorney if Resident(s) desired representation in this transaction.  The Owner of the property has designated Legacy as its general Agent and granted to Legacy the authority to manage and administer the Premises and Property and to enter into, administer, and enforce provisions of this Rental Agreement or Lease and any subsequent renewals. Resident acknowledges that Agent, or its successor as appointed by Owner has legal standing and is a real party in interest in or to any judicial action or proceeding regarding this Lease.  In the event of any actual or alleged failure, breach or default by Agent:  1) the sole and exclusive remedy shall be against the legal entity that owns the apartment community (“Ownership Entity”) and its Ownership Entity assets; 2) Regardless of whether a natural person or not, no individual member, partner, or shareholder (hereinafter collectively “member”) of the Ownership Entity shall be sued or named a party to any suit or action; 3) No service of process shall be made against any member of the Ownership Entity; 4) No member of the Ownership Entity shall be required to answer or otherwise plead to any service of process; 5) No judgment will be taken against any member of the Ownership Entity; 6) any judgment taken against any member of the Ownership Entity may be vacated and set aside as to any member of the Ownership Entity, and each of them;  7) No writ of execution will ever be levied against any assets of any member of the Ownership Entity;  8) These covenants and agreements are enforceable both by Owner and member of the Ownership Entity, and shall survive any termination of Resident’s right to possession of the Premises or any termination of this Lease.  
32.    NON-WAIVER.  No waiver of any term, provision, or condition of this Lease or Agent’s failure to insist upon strict compliance with the terms of this Lease in any one or more instances shall be a further or continuing waiver of any such term, provision, or condition, or as a waiver of any other term, provision, condition or right under this Lease, or a waiver of Agent’s right to act on any current or future violation by Resident, or to make any current or future demand for payment of any amounts due under this Lease.  Resident’s obligation to pay any rent, lease break fee, or any other amounts shall not be waived, released, or terminated by Agent’s service of any notice, demand for possession, or institution of any forcible entry and detainer action which may result in a termination of Resident’s right of possession.  Agent’s acceptance of any sums of money from Resident following an event of default shall be taken to be a payment on account by Resident and shall not constitute a waiver by Agent of any rights, nor shall any such payment cure Resident’s default if such payment is less than the full amount due and outstanding, nor shall any such payment from Resident reinstate this Lease or Resident’s right to possession if previously terminated by Agent.  During any period that Resident has been served with, is under, or subject to a demand for compliance for breach of any non-monetary covenant, Resident agrees to pay rent or any other amounts due, and Agent may accept any such payments and Agent’s acceptance of the same shall not be a waiver of Agent’s rights on any notice or demand for non-compliance for breach of a non-monetary covenant.  When Agent’s consent is required, Agent’s consent in one or more instances shall not be deemed continuing consent or relieve Resident of obtaining Agent’s consent in the future.
33.    ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This Lease contains the entire Lease between the Agent and Resident and may not be modified in any manner except by an instrument in writing signed by both Resident and Agent.  Resident acknowledges that neither Agent nor any of Agent’s representatives have made any oral promises or representations not contained herein, and that Agent’s onsite representatives (including management personnel, employees, and agents) have no authority to waive, amend, modify, or terminate this Lease or any part of it, unless in writing, and no authority to make promises, representations, or Leases that impose any duties or obligations on Agent unless in writing. In filling out, processing, and completing this Lease contract some clerical, scrivener’s, human, computer, and/or mathematical errors may occur.  In the event of any such errors or mistake, Resident agrees to cooperate with Agent to execute or re-execute any document necessary to correct any such mistake or error upon demand by Agent.  If Resident fails to cooperate by executing or re-executing any document, Agent may terminate this Lease upon Agent’s written notice to vacate to Resident in accordance with Maryland, and local county and city ordinances. 
34.    FAIR HOUSING. Agent is dedicated to honoring all fair housing laws.  Agent will permit reasonable accommodations and modifications as required by fair housing laws. Prior to making any modifications, Resident and Agent may be required to enter into a modification agreement to govern the approval and implementation of any modifications as well as restoration obligations, if any.  Resident agrees that requests for reasonable accommodations and modifications are facilitated when made in writing and agrees to make all such requests in writing when possible.  Resident acknowledges that Agent has written forms to facilitate fair housing requests and that Agent will assist Resident in any fair housing matter upon request.
35.    MILITARY.  If Resident becomes an active duty member of the United States Armed Forces or in the event of a military transfer by an active duty member of the United States Armed Forces to another active duty station, Resident may terminate the Lease, without penalty, in accordance with the following terms and conditions: (i) Resident must deliver to Agent at least thirty (30) days prior written Notice to Vacate; (ii) Resident must deliver to Agent a copy of the official orders that deploy Resident with a military unit for a period of not less than ninety (90) days or permanent change-of-station orders to permanently depart the local area to a military base which is more than fifty (50) miles from either (1) the main gate of the military base to which Resident was assigned to as of the Effective Date of the Orders or (2) in the case of a new active duty member, from the Community; (iii) all unpaid Rent, if any, must be paid through the effective day of such termination; and (iv) Resident must make satisfactory arrangements with Agent to pay all costs incurred by Agent to repair the damages referred to below, if any. Upon completion of the above terms and conditions, Resident’s obligations and responsibilities under the Lease shall then be deemed fulfilled. A transfer due to deployment with a military unit for a period of less than ninety (90) days (unless Resident no longer receives quarters allowance), separation, retirement, enlistment term expiration, and/or a move to base housing does not constitute a permanent change-of-station order. After Resident has vacated the Premises, Resident is entitled to the return of Resident’s Total Deposits, less lawful deductions for damages to the Premises, reasonable wear and tear excepted. The release of a Resident under this paragraph will not release any other Resident, unless such other Resident is the spouse or legal dependent of the Resident receiving permanent change-of-station orders.
36.    LOW INCOME OR SUBSIDIZED HOUSING. If Resident entered into this agreement as a Low-Income Tenant, Subsidized Tenant, or as a Tenant on a Tax Credit Property, the community may be subject to laws and regulations that would result in Owner losing the tax credit or other subsidies for the Premises or for the entire property if a single Tenant does not meet applicable program requirements.  Accordingly, if it is discovered at any time after execution of the Agreement, that Resident either failed to initially qualify or fails to continue to qualify with respect to the income computation and certification required under the Internal Revenue Code or any law adopted by any applicable governmental authority governing the property, Agent may terminate this Agreement upon Agent’s written notice to vacate to Resident in accordance with 

8
Revised 1/2015




        


Maryland, and local county and city ordinances. Resident specifically agrees and acknowledges that Agent shall have this right of termination regardless of the reason Resident does not qualify or meet program requirements, including but not limited to as a result of any material misrepresentation made by the Tenant or due to any mistake, regardless of cause and regardless of who made the mistake.

	ADDENDUM F - RENTER’S INSURANCE






This is an Addendum to the Lease dated «LeaseDate» (the “Lease”), by and between Legacy Partners Residential, Inc., Agent (hereinafter “Agent”) for the Owner of the Apartment Community known as «CommunityName», and «Resident1», «Resident2», «Resident3», and «Resident4», (collectively hereinafter “Resident”), for the premises known as «Address», «AptNumber» * «CityZip» * , County of «County», State of Maryland (“Premises”).


Resident agrees and acknowledges that Agent has made Renter’s Insurance available to Resident through a current insurance program that is offered at the community (“Insurance Program”).  Resident understands and agrees that Owner and Agent:


		
	1.
	Are not responsible to Resident for any loss or damage to Resident’s property;




		
	2.
	Do not provide insurance for Resident’s personal property or for personal injury to Resident or others; and




3.Require that Resident obtain Resident’s own insurance coverage, provide Agent with an Insurance Certificate evidencing that Resident has a valid complying renter’s insurance policy to insure against risk. The Certificate shall name ________ apartment community as certificate holder, and shall include the following language or similarly equivalent language: If for any reason, the insurance policy for which this certificate of insurance is issued will be cancelled, insurer agrees to mail to all certificate holders ten (10) days prior written notice of such cancellation. Resident agrees to provide proof of insurance to Agent upon Agent’s request. 


Resident acknowledges that Resident has read this Addendum and that Agent has given Resident a brochure that explains the Insurance Program that is available to Resident as a Resident of this apartment community. Resident agrees to purchase a complying renter’s insurance policy.  A complying policy is an all risk property and liability insurance policy with $100,000 minimum of liability coverage through the Insurance Program or another insurance provider. While not required, Agent and Owner strongly recommend that Resident verifies that Resident’s renter’s insurance also covers additional living expenses. If Resident’s unit is either destroyed or uninhabitable, Resident will need alternative living accommodations. Not all policies cover additional living expenses. Additional living expenses include hotel, meal, laundry, and other costs until Resident’s unit can be repaired or it is determined that Resident has to permanently relocate.


Resident understands that Agent will not deliver keys for the apartment to Resident until Resident has delivered a complying Insurance Certificate evidencing a valid complying renter’s insurance policy to the onsite management office.  If at move-in Resident has not presented a complying Insurance Certificate, Resident shall obtain the required insurance through the insurance program currently being offered at the community. If Resident obtains insurance from the Insurance Program and desires to obtain other insurance, Resident shall have the obligation to cancel the Insurance Program policy. Resident shall not allow any gaps in insurance coverage when transitioning insurance providers. Resident agrees to provide Agent a copy of the valid complying Insurance Certificate, or Resident’s valid renter’s insurance policy whenever Agent requests. 


Resident understands and agrees that Resident is required to keep Resident’s renter’s insurance valid and current as long as Resident occupies the Premises, and if at anytime Resident fails to maintain a valid and current renter’s insurance policy or provide proof of such valid and current renter’s insurance policy to Agent, Resident will be in default of the Lease.

This is an Addendum to the Lease dated «LeaseDate» (the “Lease”), by and between Legacy Partners Residential, Inc., Agent (hereinafter “Agent”) for the Owner of the Apartment Community known as «CommunityName», and «Resident1», «Resident2», «Resident3», and «Resident4» (collectively hereinafter “Resident”), for the premises known as «Address», «AptNumber», * «CityZip»  * , County of «County», State of Maryland (“Premises”).


Resident agrees to pay an additional $«PetRent» per month, beginning on the «StartDay» day of «StartMonth», «StartYear» and each and every month thereafter that Resident is obligated to pay total monthly rent in accordance with the terms of Resident’s lease.


1.     The pet is a full-grown «PetType» (dog/cat, male/female), which is approximately «PetAge» years of age, and weighs «PetWeight» pounds.


2.     The said pet is generally described as follows, insofar as breed and physical characteristics are concerned: «PetDescription».


3.     The pet’s name is: «PetName».
 
4.    Said pet has been properly licensed and inoculated for rabies and other usual inoculations for the type of animal.


5.    Said pet has been neutered or spayed. Cats must be de-clawed.


6.    Permission to keep a pet is restricted to the particular animal pet described above and does not extend to any other animal whatsoever.  Resident agrees that Resident must obtain Agent’s approval for any additional or different pet(s) not specifically listed in this Addendum, pay agent any applicable fee, charges, or pet rent associated with any additional or different pet(s).  Resident agrees that Agent may terminate Resident’s occupancy rights in the Premises upon Agent’s written notice to vacate to Resident in accordance with Maryland, and local county and city ordinances, if Resident harbors any pet, including any visiting pet, for any duration that is either not expressly approved in writing by agent or that is not covered by a written Pet Addendum.


7.    Pets must be kept in the Premises, on a leash, or carried at all times.  Pets will not be allowed to run loose on the grounds or other common areas. Pets cannot be left alone or unsupervised at anytime.  Pets cannot be tethered outside, including but not limited to, on any patio or balcony, regardless of whether Resident is at home.


8.    Resident states that said pet will not disturb or pose threat or danger to any other Residents and will not damage any portion of the Property.  If in the sole and absolute judgment of the Agent, the pet disturbs or poses a threat to any of the other residents of the Property, the Resident agrees upon ten (10) days written notice, to permanently remove said pet from the Premises.  If after receiving notice pursuant to this paragraph Resident fails to remove any pet, Agent may terminate Resident’s occupancy rights upon Agent’s written notice to vacate to Resident in accordance with Maryland, and local county and city ordinances.  In any action brought by Agent to enforce this Pet Addendum, Resident shall bear the burden of proof regarding any pet’s status or removal.   Resident further agrees that Resident will promptly pay for any damage done to any of the Property by said pet, and further agrees to indemnify and hold Agent and Owner of the Property harmless from any claim, loss, expense, cost, or damage, including reasonable attorneys’ fees by reason of the said pet being on the Property.


9.    Resident agrees to clean up after pet immediately.  Resident understands that there will be a $50.00 charge for each incident that the Agent must clean up after said pet.


10.    Prior to having any pet on the Premises or at the community, Resident agrees to pay a $«PetDeposit» pet deposit and a $«NonRefPetFee» non-refundable fee in consideration of Agent allowing the pet.  The pet deposit is refundable after termination of occupancy, less the cost of cleaning or repairs made necessary by the pet, or any other sums owed under the Lease.  Neither the fee nor the deposit shall limit the Resident’s liability in the event repair or cleaning is required that exceeds the above amount.  Resident agrees to pay all damages and costs in excess of the pet deposit.  In the event the pet deposit amount is not sufficient to cover these costs, Resident will be responsible for payment of the additional damages and costs.

	ADDENDUM L - MOLD PREVENTION






It is the goal of Legacy Partners Residential, Inc. to provide a quality living environment for its Residents. To help achieve this goal it is important we work together to minimize any mold growth in your apartment. That is why this Addendum contains important information for you, as well as responsibilities for both you and us. This is an Addendum to the Lease dated «StartMonth» «StartDay», «StartYear», by and between Legacy Partners Residential, Inc., Agent for the Owner, hereinafter known as “Agent”, and «Resident1», «Resident2», «Resident3», and «Resident4», hereinafter known as “Resident”.  Resident’s apartment number «AptNumber».
ABOUT MOLD
Mold is found 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.  Mold breaks 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 an apartment, mold can grow.  There is conflicting scientific evidence as to what contributes a sufficient accumulation of mold that could lead to adverse health effects.  Nonetheless, appropriate precautions need to be taken.
Preventing Mold Begins With You
In order to minimize the potential for mold growth in your apartment, you must do the following:
		
	•
	Keep your apartment clean – particularly the kitchen, the bathroom(s), carpets and floors.  Regularly 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.  


		
	•
	Remove visible moisture accumulating 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.  When showering, be sure to keep the shower curtain inside the tub and fully close the shower doors.


In Order to Avoid Mold Growth
It is important to prevent excess moisture buildup in your apartment.  Failure to pay prompt attention to leaks and moisture that might accumulate on apartment surfaces or that might get inside walls or ceilings can encourage mold growth.  Prolonged moisture can result from a wide variety of sources, such as:
		
	•
	Rain water leaking from roofs, windows, doors and outside walls, as well as flood waters rising above floor level;


		
	•
	Overflows from showers, bathtubs, toilets, lavatories, sinks, washing machines, refrigerators, A/C drip pans or clogged  A/C condensation lines; and


		
	•
	Leaks from plumbing lines or fixtures, washing machine hose leaks, leaks into walls from bad or missing grouting / caulking around showers, tubs or sinks.


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 household biocide, such as Lysol Disinfectant, Pine–Sol Disinfectant, Tilex Mildew Remover, or Clorox Cleanup. Please 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.  Do not clean or apply household biocides to (1) visible mold on porous surfaces, such as sheet rock 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.
Resident Obligations Regarding Mold
Resident shall provide appropriate climate control within the apartment, keep the apartment clean, and take other measures to retard and 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 periodically inspect all sinks, bathtubs, toilets, shower enclosures, refrigerators, dishwashers, water heaters, washing machines, dryers, humidifiers, air conditioners, and the connections, discharge lines and the areas surrounding each, to ascertain whether there are any water leaks or signs of water leaks.  Resident agrees not to block or cover any of the heating, ventilation or air conditioning ducts in the apartment.  
Resident also agrees to immediately report to the Agent: (1) any evidence of a water leak or excessive moisture in the apartment, as well as any storage room, garage, or other common area; (2) any evidence of mold or mildew-like growth that cannot be removed by simply applying a common household cleaner and wiping the area; (3) any failure or malfunction in the heating, ventilation, or air conditioning system in the apartment; and (4) any inoperable doors and windows.
Agent’s Obligations Regarding Mold
Upon written notification from Resident regarding signs of water leaks, water infiltration, or mold, or any failure or malfunction in the heating, ventilation, or air conditioning system in the apartment, Agent shall, within a reasonable time frame, make necessary repairs to the apartment in accordance with state law and the Lease provided such damage was not caused by the misuse or neglect of Resident, or any occupants or guests of Resident.
Remedies
A breach of this Mold Prevention Addendum by Resident shall be a material violation of the Lease, allowing Agent to recover possession of the apartment, following Demand for Possession or Compliance in accordance with the state law, and all other rights and remedies contained in the Lease.
In the event of a breach of this Mold Prevention Addendum by Agent, Resident’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to immediately vacate the Apartment and Resident’s obligations to continue to pay rent shall terminate on the date Resident delivers possession of the apartment to Agent.  Agent and/or Owner shall in no event be liable for consequential damages such as damages to Resident’s personal property or claims of adverse health conditions associated with exposure to mold.
Warranties, Indemnifications, and Release
Resident hereby indemnifies and shall hold Agent and Owner harmless from any and all claims or causes of action, arising  (in whole or in part) from Resident’s breach of the obligations contained in this Mold Prevention Addendum.  Resident hereby releases Agent and Owner from any and all claims of Resident or occupant for the presence of mold in the apartment, other than claims based on breach of this Mold Prevention Addendum by Agent, and further releases Agent and Owner from any and all claims of consequential damages such as damages to Resident’s 
personal property, or claims of adverse health conditions associated with exposure to mold.

	ADDENDUM M - PEST CONTROL






This is an Addendum to the Lease dated «LeaseDate» (the “Lease”), by and between Legacy Partners Residential, Inc., Agent (hereinafter “Agent”) for the Owner of the Apartment Community known as «CommunityName», and «Resident1», «Resident2», «Resident3», and «Resident4», (collectively hereinafter “Resident”), for the premises known as «Address», «AptNumber» * «CityZip» *  , County of «County», State of Maryland (“Premises”).


Resident and Agent agree as follows:


1.     If Resident fails to report any pest infestation and/or problems with the Premises within seven (7) days of move-in, it shall be an acknowledgement by Resident that the Premises are acceptable, in good condition, and pest free.


2.    Resident and Agent agree that any violation of this Addendum constitutes a material violation of the Lease, and Agent may terminate Resident’s right to possession upon Agent’s written notice to vacate to Resident in accordance with Maryland, and local county and city ordinances.  There is no requirement that Agent allow Resident to cure prior to serving Resident with a written notice to vacate.  Proof of the violation of this Addendum shall be by a preponderance of the evidence.


3.    Resident agrees to cooperate fully with and to undertake all efforts and tasks required by Agent or Agent’s pest control company employed to eradicate pests.  Resident’s full cooperation includes but is not limited to immediately reporting pest infestation to the Agent, making the premises available for entry to complete pest inspection and eradication treatment(s), completing all required pre-treatment activities, evacuating the premises during and after treatment for the required time frame, completing all required post-treatment activities, and immediately reporting ineffective treatment or re-infestations to the Agent in writing.
  
4.     Resident may request reasonable extermination services at any time.  All requests must be in writing.  Agent will notify Resident in advance of each pest inspection, including providing a preparation sheet.  Notification is presumed received if Agent hands the notice and instructions directly to Resident or if Agent posts the notice and instructions to Resident’s unit.  


5.    If Resident promptly notifies Agent and cooperates with Agent and/or Agent’s pest control company and the unit is either re-infected or the initial treatment is ineffective, Agent will promptly schedule re-inspection and re-treatment at no cost to Resident.  If Resident is not fully prepared for the treatment, Resident will be billed and agrees to pay for the actual cost of service.  If Resident fails to cooperate fully with the treatment plan and the unit is either re-infected or the initial treatment is ineffective, Resident agrees to pay all costs of all subsequent treatments, as well as the cost of treatments for the spread of the infestation to additional units.


6.    Agent, Agent’s employees, officers, or directors are not liable to Resident for any damages caused by pests, including but not limited to, replacement of furniture, medications, or medical expenses.  Agent, Agent’s employees, officers, or directors are not responsible for any damage done to Resident’s unit or personal items during pest control inspections or treatments.
  
7.    Resident acknowledges that Agent’s adoption of this Addendum, and the efforts to provide a pest free environment, does not in any way change the standard of care that Agent owes Resident under the lease.  Resident further acknowledges that Agent does not guaranty or warranty a pest free environment.  Resident acknowledges and understands that Agent’s ability to police, monitor, or enforce the agreements of the Addendum is dependent in significant part on Resident’s voluntary compliance and cooperation. 


8.     Resident acknowledges that used or secondhand furniture is the primary way that bed bugs and roaches are spread.  Resident agrees to carefully inspect any used or secondhand furniture, especially bedding, acquired by or purchased by Resident that is brought into the Premises.  Resident agrees not to acquire or bring into the Premises any used or secondhand furniture removed from the garbage. Resident acknowledges that sharing vacuum cleaners, etc. is another highly possible way to spread bed bugs and roaches.  Agent strongly advises Resident not to share such items with other Residents.


9.     In case of any conflict between the provisions of the Lease and this Lease Addendum, the provisions of this Lease Addendum shall govern. This Lease Addendum is incorporated into the Lease executed or renewed between the Agent and the Resident.

	ADDENDUM N - SECURITY POLICY AND RELEASE




This is an Addendum to the Lease dated «LeaseDate» (the “Lease”), by and between Legacy Partners Residential, Inc., Agent (hereinafter “Agent”) for the Owner of the Apartment Community known as «CommunityName», and «Resident1», «Resident2», «Resident3», and «Resident4», (collectively hereinafter “Resident”), for the premises known as «Address», «AptNumber» * «CityZip» *  , County of «County», State of Maryland (“Premises”).
SECURITY POLICY.  Owner does not promise, warrant, or guarantee the safety or security of Residents or their personal property against the criminal actions of other Residents or third parties.  (For purposes of this security policy, “Owner” includes Owner, Owner’s officers and employees, and Owner’s property management company, onsite managers, other Owner representatives, and “Resident” refers to the Resident(s) and their families, occupants, guests and invitees of the Premises.)  Owner is not acting as insurer of resident.  Resident understands and agrees that Owner is limited in its ability to protect residents from crime, accident and natural catastrophe and that Resident is better able to evaluate individual risk and loss than Owner and to obtain insurance to protect against such events.  Each Resident has the responsibility to protect himself or herself and to maintain insurance to protect his or her belongings and person.
It is a fact that no security system, patrol, or electronic security device can provide protection against crime at every location at every moment of the day or night.  Even elaborate security systems are subject to mechanical malfunction, tampering, human error, or personnel absenteeism and can be defeated or avoided by clever criminals.  Therefore, Residents and occupants should not rely on such systems and should always proceed on the assumption that no security systems exist.  Residents should make no other assumptions regarding security.  The best safety measures are those precautions that can be performed as a matter of common sense and habit.  Resident understands that crimes against persons are prevalent, especially in apartment communities.  
If security systems, security devices, or walk-through/drive-through services are utilized at this apartment community, no representation is made that they will prevent injury, theft, or vandalism.  Companies or individuals walking or driving the complex on behalf of Owner are unarmed independent contractors and have no greater authority under the law to restrain or arrest criminals or to prevent crime than the ordinary citizen. Resident understands and agrees that Owner has no obligation or liability for the acts or omissions, whether negligent, intentional, or otherwise of any agent or employee of any such independent contractor. Resident acknowledges that Owner is under no duty to inspect, test, or repair any security device unless and until Owner has received written notice from Resident, except when the Lease Term begins and in the case of a smoke detector, when a new detector is installed by Owner.  Owner does not warrant that any security systems, security devices, services, or persons at this apartment community will discourage or prevent breaches of security, intrusions, thefts, or incidents of violent crime, and Owner has assumed no responsibility or duty with respect to the security of Resident through the retention of any such independent contractors or the provision of any such security systems, security devices, or services.  Owner reserves the right to reduce, modify, or eliminate any such independent contractors, security system, security devices, or services (other than those required by law) at any time, without notice to residents, and such action shall not be a breach of any obligation or warranty on the part of Owner.  “Neighborhood Crime Watch” signs, if any, do not imply safety or security.
If controlled access gates or intrusion alarms are provided, Residents will be furnished written operating instructions, and it is Resident’s responsibility to read them and to bring any questions to the attention of Owner.  Further, it is Resident’s responsibility to promptly notify Owner in writing of any known problem, defect, malfunction or failure of door locks, window latches, lighting, controlled access gates, intrusion alarms, and other security-related devices.  Each Resident is responsible for reporting to Owner any crime that he or she is aware of and that occurs in Resident’s apartment or in common areas near Resident’s apartment.  If Resident’s apartment is equipped with an intrusion alarm, Resident is responsible for all fines and other charges resulting from or attributable to the alarm, including false alarm charges.  Resident shall pay for and replace batteries for smoke detectors, if any, and shall pay for monthly service on the electronic alarm systems, if any, unless otherwise provided in the Lease.  Resident shall not disable, disconnect, or remove batteries from smoke detectors.  Per Maryland statute, if Resident damages or disables the smoke detector or removes the battery without replacing it with a working battery, Resident may be liable to Agent for $100 plus one month’s rent, actual damages, and attorney’s fees. If Resident installs additional security devices, Owner shall be given the keys, codes, or operating device immediately upon installation and any such devices installed by Resident must comply with all applicable federal state, municipal, or other governmental law, code, regulation or order.  
Protecting Residents from crime is the sole responsibility of Residents and law enforcement agencies.  Residents are required to call the police or 911 first, if a crime occurs or is suspected.  Residents are required to promptly report to Owner in writing any locks, latches, lighting, overgrown shrubbery, fences, gates, intrusion alarm, and other security-related devices that they believe are in need of repair or improvement.  Any notices or requests by Resident for inspection, installation, or repair of security devices or smoke detectors must be in writing.  Resident recognizes that Owner’s efforts are voluntary and not obligatory and are done in an effort to protect Resident’s safety.  
ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND RELEASE BY RESIDENTS.  Resident has read, understood, and agrees to the above security policy.  Resident has received no representations or warranties, either express or implied, regarding security or security systems before or during the Lease Term.  Owner has not stated or implied to Resident in any way that security of person or property will be provided, promised, or guaranteed.  Owner has not represented that the apartment community has been or will be free from crime or that the apartment community has had little or no history of crime. Resident further acknowledges that Owner is not obligated under any circumstances to respond to any signal from an intrusion alarm system. Resident agrees to read the “Guidelines for Resident Safety” attached to the Lease and to abide by those guidelines to the fullest extent reasonably possible.
RESIDENT HEREBY AGREES TO RELEASE, INDEMNIFY, AND HOLD OWNER HARMLESS FROM LOSSES, CLAIMS, AND COSTS (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES) WITH RESPECT TO ANY PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR DEATH ARISING OUT OF CRIMINAL ACTS OF OTHER RESIDENTS AND THIRD PARTIES, OR WHICH IS IN ANY WAY RELATED TO RESIDENT’S RELIANCE ON ANY OF THE SAFETY DEVICES AND/OR ANY INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR MENTIONED ABOVE OR TO ANY DEFECT, MALFUNCTION OR INADEQUACY THEREOF, FROM CLAIMS THAT INSUFFICIENT SECURITY WAS PROVIDED, AND WITH RESPECT TO THE INSTALLATION, USE, OR MALFUNCTION OF ANY SECURITY DEVICE INSTALLED OR CAUSED TO BE INSTALLED BY RESIDENT, EVEN IF SUCH OCCURRENCE(S) WERE CAUSED BY THE SOLE, CONTRIBUTORY, OR PARTIAL NEGLIGENCE OF OWNER.   RESIDENT THEREFOR AGREES THAT OWNER’S LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THAT EXPRESSED IN THIS LEASE AND THIS ADDENDUM.  Resident acknowledges that Owner’s representatives have no authority to make changes or modifications in this document unless they are in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Owner.

 ̈    Directly to the electric service provider(s); or
		
	 ̈
	Electric service will be billed by the service provider to Agent or Owner and then allocated to Resident based on 


the following formula:___________


Some jurisdictions may have additional, different, or separate, legal requirements for utility agreements between landlords and tenants when utilities are billed, based upon sub-metering, formulas, or other allocation methods.  When legally required, an additional Jurisdictional Utility Addendum will be attached hereto, and incorporated by reference.  In the event of any conflicts between the Jurisdictional Utility Addendum and this Addendum Q, the terms of the Jurisdictional Utility Addendum will control and shall supercede the terms of this Utility and Services Addendum.
METERING/ALLOCATION METHOD KEY
"1"   - Sub-metering of all of Resident’s gas use
"2"   - Calculation of Resident’s total water use based on sub-metering of hot water
"3"   - Calculation of Resident’s total water use based on sub-metering of cold water
"4"   - Flat rate per month
"5"   – Allocation based on the number of persons residing in Resident’s apartment unit
"6"   - Allocation based on the number of persons residing in Resident’s apartment unit using a ratio occupancy formula
"7"   – Allocation based on square footage of Resident’s apartment unit
"8"   – Allocation based on a combination of square footage of Resident’s apartment unit and the number of persons residing in Resident’s
           apartment unit
"9"   – Allocation based on the number of bedrooms in Resident’s apartment unit
“10” – Equally divided
“11” – Calculation based on resident’s sub-metered hot water usage as a percentage of total hot water with resulting percentage applied to total                                             property water usage.    
"12" – Allocation based on a lawful formula not listed here
           (Note: if "12" is selected, a separate "Exhibit A" will be attached describing the formula used)


2.      If an allocation method or flat fee is used, Agent or Owner, or their billing company will calculate Resident’s allocated share of the utilities and services provided and all costs in accordance with state and local statutes. Under any allocation method or flat fee, Resident may be paying for part of the utility usage in common areas or in other residential units as well as administrative fees. Both Resident and Agent agree that using a calculation, allocation formula or flat fee as a basis for estimating total utility consumption is fair and reasonable, while recognizing that the allocation method may or may not accurately reflect actual total utility consumption for Resident. Where lawful, Agent may change the above methods of determining Resident’s allocated share of utilities and services and all other billing methods, in Agent’s sole discretion, and after providing thirty (30) days written notice to Resident. More detailed descriptions of billing methods, calculations and allocation formulas will be provided upon request.


3.      When billed by Agent or Owner directly or through their billing company, Resident must pay any utility and/or services bills at the place designated for Resident to pay rent in the Lease.  Resident agrees to pay any amount Resident is responsible for under this Addendum Q on or before the first day of the month, or by any date specified in any bill.  If Resident fails to pay any utility or service bill when due, Resident’s payment will be late.  If Resident pays any utility or service bill late, Resident will be responsible for paying a late fee in the amount set forth in the Lease for late payment of rent.  The late payment of a bill or failure to pay any utility and/or services bill is a material breach of the Lease and Agent may exercise all remedies available under the Lease, up to and including eviction for nonpayment.  If there is a billing fee for the production of any utility or services bill or a set-up charge or initiation fee by Agent or Owner’s billing company, Resident shall pay such billing fee in an amount not to exceed $3.00 per billing period and such set-up charge/initiation fee in an amount not to exceed $10.00.


4.     Resident will be charged for all utilities and services until the date Resident vacates, until the date Resident could have moved out if Resident had given proper notice, or the date another resident begins paying utilities and services for the Premises whichever date is later. If Resident fails to timely establish utilities and services, Agent will charge Resident for any utilities and services billed to Agent or Owner for the premises and in addition Agent will charge Resident a reasonable administration fee for paying, handling, and billing Resident for such utilities and services in an amount of fifty ($50.00).


5.    When Resident move out, Resident will receive a final bill, which may be estimated by Agent or Owner based on Resident’s prior utility and services usage. This bill must be paid at the time Resident moves out or Resident agrees that it will be deducted from Resident’s Security Deposit, as permitted by state law. Unless prohibited by law, bills may also be estimated on a temporary basis when necessary due to equipment malfunctions or other problems.

6.    Agent or Owner is not liable for any losses or damages Resident incurs as a result of outages, interruptions, or fluctuations in utilities or any other services provided to the Premises unless such loss or damage was the direct result of an intentional or negligent act or omission by Agent, Owner, or their employees. Resident releases Agent and Owner from any and all such claims and waives any claims for offset or reduction of rent or diminished rental value of the Premises due to such outages, interruptions, or fluctuations.


7.     Resident agrees not to tamper with, adjust, or disconnect any utility or services sub-metering system or device. Violation of this provision is a material breach of Resident’s Lease and subjects Resident to eviction or all other remedies available to Agent under Resident’s Lease and this Addendum.


8.     Owner has the sole authority to select and approve all utility and services providers who may provide services to Resident(s) at the apartment community, to the extent not prohibited by law.


9.     All utilities, charges and fees of any kind under the Lese and this Addendum are additional rent, and if partial payments are accepted by Agent or Owner, they will be allocated first to non-rent charges and to rent last.


10.     This Addendum shall be enforced to the fullest extent lawful.  Any determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that a provision of this Addendum is legally invalid or unenforceable shall not diminish the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions.


11.     Special Provisions. The terms of this section supercede any other conflicting terms of this Addendum.

	ADDENDUM S - DRUG-FREE / CRIME-FREE






This is an Addendum to the Lease dated «LeaseDate» (the “Lease”), by and between Legacy Partners Residential, Inc., Agent (hereinafter “Agent”) for the Owner of the Apartment Community known as «CommunityName», and «Resident1», «Resident2», «Resident3», and «Resident4», (collectively hereinafter “Resident”), for the premises known as «Address», «AptNumber» * «CityZip» * , County of «County», State of Maryland (“Premises”).


1.    Resident, any member of the Resident's household, any guest of Resident, or any other person under Resident's control or about the Premises with Resident’s knowledge or consent (collectively “persons”) shall not engage or facilitate any criminal activity, including but not limited to, any violent criminal activity or any drug-related criminal activity (collectively “criminal activity” or “substantial violation” interchangeably).  The Resident or any other persons shall not permit the Premises to be used for or to facilitate criminal activity. Resident agrees and acknowledges that Resident has an affirmative duty to abstain from any criminal activity and to prevent criminal activity by any other persons, including but not limited to, immediately notifying a law enforcement officer at the first sign of Resident’s knowledge of the criminal activity which constitutes any substantial violation agreed to in this addendum or at law (collectively “substantial violation”), and cooperating with law enforcement with respect to the substantial violation.  For the purpose of this addendum, criminal activity also includes any activity or conduct by any person, which a reasonable person would conclude, has the potential for escalating into or becoming criminal activity.  Resident agrees that Resident’s affirmative duty extends to being responsible for the conduct and actions of all persons regardless of any culpability or knowledge on Resident’s part, that Resident’s affirmative duty extends to making all persons aware of Resident’s obligations, covenants, and duties under this Addendum, and that Resident’s duties extend to all conduct whether or not such conduct occurs in Resident’s unit. Resident may not assert as a defense in any eviction action against Resident based on violation of this Addendum that Resident did not know any person, occupant or guest was in violation of this Addendum.


2.    Not limiting the broadest possible meaning as defined in this Addendum or at law, violent criminal activity also includes, but is not limited to, any criminal activity that has as one of its elements the use, attempted use or threatened use of physical force against the person or property of another. Not limiting the broadest possible meaning as defined in this Addendum or at law, drug-related criminal activity means the manufacture, sale, distribution, use or possession of a controlled substance, as defined by state law, or defined by any other law, and also includes the manufacture, sale, distribution, use or possession of marijuana, marijuana concentrate, cocaine or any other illegal drug regardless of amount, and regardless of whether or not manufacture, sale, distribution, use, or possession of said drug is a misdemeanor or a felony.  Resident and Landlord agree that any criminal activity as defined in this Addendum or at law is an act which endangers the person and willfully and substantially endangers the property of Landlord, co-tenants, persons living on or near the premises, and that such criminal activity constitutes a substantial violation under this Addendum or at law.  


3.    One or more violations of this Addendum by Resident constitutes a substantial violation of the Lease and material non-compliance with the Lease.  Because Resident and Landlord agree that a violation of this Addendum constitutes a substantial violation, Resident waives any and all legal rights of any kind whatsoever to claim or insist that Landlord must first serve Resident with a demand for compliance in order to initiate an eviction action against Resident for recovery of the Premises.  Upon any violation of this Addendum by Resident, Landlord may terminate Resident’s right to occupancy without terminating the lease or Resident’s obligation to pay rent as set forth in the Lease at Landlord’s election.  Landlord’s termination of Resident’s right to occupancy shall be effective with right of eviction.  Unless required by law, Landlord shall not be required to serve any other notices upon Resident in order to terminate Resident’s right of possession.  Proof of the violation of this Addendum shall be by a preponderance of the evidence, unless otherwise provided by law.  In case of any conflict between the provisions of the Lease and this Lease Addendum, the provisions of this Lease Addendum shall govern.  This Lease Addendum is incorporated into the Lease executed or renewed between the Landlord and the Resident.

This is an Addendum to the Lease dated «LeaseDate» (the “Lease”), by and between Legacy Partners Residential, Inc., Agent (hereinafter “Agent”) for the Owner of the Apartment Community known as «CommunityName», and «Resident1», «Resident2», «Resident3», and «Resident4», (collectively hereinafter “Resident”), for the premises known as «Address», «AptNumber» * «CityZip» * , County of «County», State of Maryland (“Premises”).

2.    Resident made a request for a reasonable accommodation necessitated by and connected to Resident’s disability which Resident disclosed to Agent.  Agent responded to and granted Resident’s request for a reasonable accommodation by allowing Resident to have an assistive animal at the Premises.


3.    The assistive animal is a  «PetType» (dog/cat, male/female), which is approximately «PetAge»  years of age, and weighs «PetWeight» pounds and Resident represents that this animal will serve as or function as a service or assistive animal (hereinafter “assistive animal”) during Resident’s tenancy.


4.     The assistive animal is also generally described as follows, insofar as breed and physical characteristics are concerned: «PetDescription». The assistive animal goes by the name: «PetName».


5.    Resident represents and affirms that Resident has properly licensed the assistive animal, if there is any general municipal or governmental licensing requirement for this type of animal, and that Resident has inoculated the said animal for rabies and other usual inoculations for this  type of animal (certificate attached), as required by law.  


6.    Agent’s permission for Resident to have the assistive animal described above is restricted solely to the particular assistive animal described above, and does not extend to any other animal whatsoever and does not change or waive the Lease’s “no pet” restrictions, or any other rules or policies.


7.    Resident certifies that the assistive animal will not pose a direct threat of harm or danger to any other Residents, Agent’s onsite management, or any other individuals and will not damage any portion of the Premises or the Property.  If the assistive animal poses a direct threat of harm to anyone during Resident’s residency, unreasonably disturbs anyone, or if the assistive animal damages any property or portion thereof, including but not limited to the property of Agent or Owner, Agent will notify Resident in writing of the problem and upon receipt of such written notice, Resident shall have ten (10) days to correct the behavioral issue with the assistive animal and to pay for any property damages, if applicable.  If Resident fails to correct the problem with the animal or pay for any damages caused to the Premises and/or Property within the ten (10) days of receiving notice from Agent, Agent may terminate Resident’s occupancy rights upon Agent’s written notice to vacate to Resident in accordance with Maryland, and local county and city ordinances. Resident further agrees to indemnify and hold Agent, Agent’s management company, and Owners or their agents, harmless from any claim, loss, expense, cost, or damage, including reasonable attorneys’ fees by reason of the assistive animal being on the Property.


8.    Pets must be kept in the Premises, on a leash, or carried at all times.  Pets will not be allowed to run loose on the grounds or other common areas.

9.    Resident agrees to continually clean up after the assistive animal, which includes but is not limited to cleaning up the assistive animal’s waste on or near the Agent’s and Owner’s Property.

ASBESTOS DISCLOSURE
In most dwellings which were built prior to 1981 and in some built after that, asbestos was commonly used as a construction material.  In various parts of your dwelling, asbestos materials may have been used in the original construction or in renovations prior to the enactment of federal laws which limit asbestos in certain construction materials.


The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has determined that the mere presence of asbestos materials does not pose a health risk to residents and that such materials are safe so long as they are not dislodged or disturbed in a manner that causes the asbestos fibers to be released.  Disturbances include sanding, scraping, pounding, or other techniques that produce dust and cause the asbestos particles to become airborne.  The EPA does not require that intact asbestos materials be removed.  Instead, the law simply requires that we take reasonable precautions to minimize the chance of damage or disturbance of those materials.


As the management company for your apartment community, we strive to provide you with a comfortable, safe and healthy environment.  While we are aware of no conditions which would be harmful, we wish to caution you about disturbing any part of the building in which your apartment is located.  Therefore, in keeping with the terms of your Lease Agreement, you should not install fixtures, hooks or other hanging objects from the ceiling, walls or floors of your apartment and should not drill, sand, grind, paint or break into any walls, floors or ceilings.  Disturbing these types of materials may create various dusts and debris that could be inhaled with serious health consequences.  If there is anything relating to your apartment, which you feel might require any modification or change in the walls, ceilings, or floors, please notify our manager so work may be performed by properly trained personnel.  In addition, if you become aware of any disturbances of any such building materials, please notify us immediately so we can take proper measures.


Resident(s) have read and understand the Lead-Based Paint and Asbestos Disclosure information provided above.  Resident(s) agree to comply with the above instructions concerning my/our apartment.  Specifically, Resident(s) agrees not to install fixtures, hooks or other hanging objects from the ceiling, and not to drill, sand, grind, paint or otherwise disturb or break into any walls, floors or ceilings. RESIDENT(S) AGREES THAT THESE EXACT DISCLOSURES CONTAINED IN THIS ADDENDUM WERE PROVIDED TO RESIDENT(S) PREVIOUSLY IN WRITING, AND RESIDENT(S) PREVIOUSLY ACKNOWLEDGED IN WRITING THAT RESIDENT(S) RECEIVED THE DISCLOSURES PRIOR TO RESIDENT(S) BEING OBLIGATED TO SIGN THE LEASE OR THIS ADDENDUM,.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, and in consideration for, and as an inducement to Agent, to enter into a Lease with Resident, the undersigned, «Guarantor1» and «Guarantor2» (hereinafter “Guarantor”) each a guarantor in their individual capacity, unconditionally guarantees to Agent and Owner, on a joint and several basis, the full and timely payment in full of all sums due under the Lease and complete performance and observance of all of the covenants, conditions, and agreements therein provided to be performed and observed by Resident.
Guarantor further covenants and agrees that this Guaranty shall be and remain in full force and effect as to any modification, whether or not known to or approved by Guarantor and that no subletting, assignment, or other transfer of the Lease, or any interest therein, shall operate to extinguish or diminish the liability of Guarantor hereunder.  Guarantor waives each and every notice to which Guarantor might otherwise be entitled under said Lease and expressly consents to any extension of time, leniency, modification, waiver, forbearance, or change which may be made in any of the terms and conditions of said Lease by the parties thereto or by their successors or assigns. No such change, modification, extension or forbearance shall release the undersigned from any liability or obligation hereby incurred or assumed, and the undersigned expressly waives any notice of default in or under any of the terms of said Lease.  In the event of any termination of the Lease by Agent on account of default by Resident, Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall not be terminated, but Guarantor shall be and remain liable for all damages, costs, expenses, and other claims which may arise under the Lease.  If Guarantor shall directly or indirectly advance any sums to Resident, such sums and indebtedness shall be subordinate in all respects to the amount then and thereafter due and owing by Resident under the Lease.
Wherever reference is made to the liability of Resident in the Lease, such reference shall be deemed likewise to refer to Guarantor, jointly and severally, with Resident.  The liability of Guarantor for the obligations of the Lease shall be primary.  In any right of action which shall accrue to Agent under the Lease, Agent may, at Agent’s option, proceed against Guarantor and/or Resident, jointly and severally, and may proceed against Guarantor without having demanded performance of, commenced any action against, or having obtained any judgment against Resident.  Guarantor hereby waives any obligation on the part of Agent to enforce the terms of the Lease against Resident as condition to Agent’s right to proceed against Guarantor hereunder.  Guarantor hereby expressly (i) waives presentment and notice of acceptance of this Guaranty or the Lease and (ii) waives demand for observance or performance of, or enforcement of, any terms or provisions of this Guaranty or the Lease.  If this Guaranty is enforced by Agent, Guarantor agrees that Guarantor shall be liable to Agent for all costs of suit including but not limited collections costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees in the event that Agent prevails.
It is further agreed that all of the terms and provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of the respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns of Agent, and shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns of Guarantor.
In the event more than one person or entity executes this Guaranty, the liability of such signatories hereunder shall be joint and several and all references to “Guarantor” shall be deemed to refer to each and every such signatory.  Furthermore, and not withstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in the Lease or in this Guaranty, release by Agent of any Guarantor will not affect or reduce the obligations of any other Guarantor, who shall remain liable for all obligations of Resident guaranteed hereunder notwithstanding such release and as if such release had not occurred, and each Guarantor specifically waives any right to a reduction in liability that might otherwise be available by reason of such release. 
This Guaranty shall be governed by the laws of the State of Maryland and shall be performed in all aspects in the «County» county, of Maryland.
