used exclusively for household and consumer purposes). Regulated substances include pollutants, hazardous materials,

16. ALTERATIONS: Resident may not paint or make any alterations, additions, or improvements to the leased Premises
without first obtaining the Landlord’s written consent. Any improvements, additions, or alterations to the Premises
made by the Resident shall become Landlord’s property. Any such improvement, addition, or alteration shall be in
compliance with the terms and conditions specified by Landlord in its consent. Any improvement, addition, or alteration

Resident/Tenant Initials
Hundred Dollars ($100.00) as liquidated damages and an additional fee of Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00) for each
additional day the pet remains on the premises. This fee shall be applied in all cases, even those where Lessee is
“keeping” the pet for a friend or the pet is just “visiting” with a guest or visitor of Lessee.
19. DAMAGE TO PROPERTY: Should the premises be partially damaged by casualty not due to negligence or conduct of
the Resident or Resident’s guests, invitees, or assignees, the property shall be repaired immediately by the Landlord and
any rentals for the period the premises are wholly untenantable shall be abated. However, should the property suffer
substantial damages (substantial damages include destruction of the Premises or damage rendering it untenantable for
more than three (3) months), Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease, and the rent shall be adjusted up to the date
of the casualty, or Landlord may provide alternative housing, as set forth in the following section. In the event the
premises are damaged by the conduct, acts, or omission of Resident or Resident’s guests, invitees, or assignees,
Resident agrees that Landlord will repair said damage and that the cost to repair said damage will be billed as additional
rent. Should it become necessary for Landlord to bill Resident for repairs, as authorized in this Agreement, it shall be
billed as additional rent, and Resident shall pay regular rent and additional rent in full by the first day of the next
calendar month after written notice from Landlord. Failure to pay the full amount due by the first of the month shall be
deemed a material breach of this Agreement. The application of Resident’s security deposit to repair damage shall in no
way relieve Resident of liability for damages which exceed the amount of security deposit. Resident shall immediately
report to the Landlord and the local law enforcement authority any acts of vandalism to the Premises and shall
provide Landlord with a copy of any police report.
20. ALTERNATIVE HOUSING: If the Premises are damaged or destroyed, other than by wrongful or negligent acts of
Resident or persons on the Premises with Resident’s consent, so that the use of the Premises is substantially impaired,
Landlord agrees to provide Resident with other and equivalent premises at the same terms as the leased premises,
either permanently or until repairs can be made. Resident agrees to accept such substitution as a continuation of this
Lease and without suspension of its terms and applicability. “Equivalent” shall be taken to mean substantially or
reasonably the same without necessity to be identical in location, elevation, or furnishings. If Resident has made
alterations to original apartment, Landlord is not responsible for recreating the alterations or reimbursing the cost of
alterations.
21. RIGHT OF ENTRY: Landlord shall have the right of entry without Resident’s consent to the premises for inspection
and repair, maintenance, and to confirm Resident’s compliance with this Lease, during reasonable hours. In case of
emergency, Management may enter at any time to protect life and prevent damage to the premises or Resident’s
property.

the Premises must be presented in writing and delivered to Landlord within ten (10) days of receiving the keys to the

claim, demand, expense, liability arising out of Resident’s use of the premises, including losses arising out of the use of
the premises by others with Resident’s consent. Resident shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against
any claims, losses, costs or expenses resulting from claims by any third party arising out of the lease, the Premises, or
this Agreement, including damages, costs, expenses, and reasonable attorney’s fees. Resident further agrees that

third party. Resident further agrees that any criminal acts by Resident or their guest will constitute a default of this
Lease, and at Landlord’s option will result in termination of lease. If Resident is convicted of a felony or it is discovered
that he or she was previously convicted of a felony, this lease may be terminated by Landlord.

24. RENTERS INSURANCE: Lessor expressly advises the Lessee to provide him/herself with a Lessee’s insurance policy to
insure possessions in or on the premises. Landlord does not insure Resident’s personal property. Resident
acknowledges that he/she is aware that he/she is responsible for obtaining any desired insurance for fire, theft, flood,
etc. on personal possessions, contents, family and guests. If Resident elects not to acquire renter’s insurance, Resident
is fully aware that any damages to his or her property are the sole responsibility of Resident, and the Landlord will not
be held liable.
25. EARLY TERMINATION POLICY: Without limiting in any way Resident’s obligations under the Lease, the effectiveness
of early termination is also contingent on the following:

e. Complete compliance with all applicable terms of the Lease; plus
f. Forfeiture of Security Deposit.
26. WAIVER AND SEPARABILITY: The waiver of any one breach of any provision of this Lease shall not be considered a
waiver of that or any other provision herein. Should Landlord or Tenant fail from time to time to exercise a right stated
in the Lease, those rights shall not be waived. Landlord or Tenant may choose to comply with strict terms of Lease at a
later date. All rights, powers, remedies, and privileges available hereunder to the parties hereto are cumulative and are
in addition to the rights granted by law. Should any portion of this Lease be deemed invalid, such invalidation shall not
operate to invalidate the remaining portions of this Lease. Management’s acceptance of rent after knowledge of breach
of this lease by Resident is not a waiver of Management’s rights or an election not to proceed under the provisions of
this lease of the law. Management’s rights and remedies under this lease are cumulative; the use of one or more shall
not exclude or waive our right to other remedies. Resident’s rights under this lease are subordinated to any present or
future mortgages on the Premises. PhoenixSouth may assign our interest in this lease. Resident agrees to waive his or
her right to demand a jury trial concerning the litigation of any matters arising between Resident and Management.

representatives.

of the same may be considered, by the party not so recording, as a material breach of this Lease.
29. EMINENT DOMAIN: If the whole or any part of the Premises is taken or condemned by any competent authority by
eminent domain (or threat of eminent domain), the term of this Lease shall end upon and not before the date when
possession of the part so taken shall be required, and without apportionment of the award. Resident shall have no right
to appear and defend in any suit by such competent authority and Resident shall have no right in any award. Current
rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination.
30. ENTIRE AGREEMENT: All of the promises and understandings between Landlord and Resident are contained in this
Lease. There are no other promises or understandings between the parties. Any changes to this Lease must be in
writing and signed by both Landlord and Resident. Neither Landlord nor any of Landlord’s representatives have the
authority to make any oral promises, representations, or agreements. This Lease constitutes the entire agreement
between Landlord and Resident. Landlord’s respresentatives have no authority to waive, amend, or terminate Lease or
any part of it, unless in writing. Notwithstanding, Landlord reserves the right, and Resident hereby acknowledges such
right, to adopt new or modify existing rules and regulations upon notice to Resident.

interest.
