8. POSSESSION OF PREMISES. In the event Owner is unable to deliver possession of the premises to Resident for any reason not

within Owner’s control, including, but not limited to failure of prior occupants to vacate as agreed or required by law, Owner shall not

be liable to Resident except for the return of all sums previously paid to Owner in the event Resident chooses to terminate this Rental

Agreement.

9. PETS, WATER-FILLED FURNITURE/ANTENNAS AND/OR SATELLITE DISHES. No animal, pet, antenna/satellite dish or

water-filled furniture shall be kept on or about the premises without the prior written consent of the Owner.

10. SECURITY. Resident acknowledges that Owner has made no representation that the property is a “secure” complex, and that

Resident is safe from theft, injury or damage. Gates, fences and locks are provided primarily for the protection of Owner’s property and

are not a warranty of protection nor are they specifically provided for the protection of Resident or guest’s person or property. Resident

shall take appropriate measures to protect their own property, and report to the Police any suspicious activities, persons or events

occurring on or about the general premises.

11. QUIET ENJOYMENT / USE. All residents shall be entitled to quiet enjoyment of the premises. Resident shall not use the

premises in such a way as to violate any law or ordinance, commit waste or nuisance, annoy, disturb, inconvenience, or interfere with

the quiet enjoyment of any other resident, including but not limited to having loud or late parties or playing loud music. Resident shall

ensure that their guests also comply with this provision. Violations constitute a breach of the Agreement, and Owner may take legal

action to terminate the Agreement and remove Resident.

12. JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY (CO-RESIDENT). If more than one Resident enters into this Agreement (“roommates’),

the obligations are joint and several; each such Resident is individually, as well as jointly, liable for full performance of all agreed

terms and payment of all sums required hereunder as long as any one of the Residents remain in possession of the premises. Any breach

or abandonment by any one or more of the Residents shall not terminate the Agreement nor shall it relieve the remaining Resident from

fulfilling the terms of this Agreement. Should one or more of the Residents terminate their residency apart and separately from other

Resident, no right to have another person substituted in their stead shall exist.

13. CARE AND MAINTENANCE. Resident agrees to keep the premises clean, in good order and repair, and free of trash, mold,

mildew and unsightly material and to immediately notify Owner, in writing, of any defects or dangerous conditions in or about the

premises, particularly any water penetration. Resident shall reimburse Owner for the cost to repair damage by Resident through misuse

or neglect including but not limited to plumbing stoppages. Except as provided by law, no repairs, decorating or alterations shall be

done by the Resident without the Owner’s prior written consent, which may require that only a licensed and bonded contractor perform

such work.

14. RIGHT OF ENTRY. Owner or Owner’s agents shall have right to enter the premises for purposes of performing inspections; to

make necessary or agreed repairs, alterations or improvements; supplying agreed services; to exhibit the property to prospective

residents; when the Resident has abandoned or surrendered the premises; in case of emergency, and pursuant to court order or state

law. Except in cases of emergency, Owner shall give Resident reasonable notice of intent to enter. Resident may be present, however

such entry shall not be conditioned upon such presence, and Resident agrees to indemnify and hold Owner free and harmless for such

entry.

15. VEHICLES AND PARKING. Owner reserves the right to control parking and to tow away, at Resident’s expense, any vehicle

causing an unsafe/hazardous condition or parked in unauthorized spaces. No automobile or other motor-driven vehicle or cycle may be

brought onto the premises unless such vehicle complies with governmental noise limitations, is free of any leaking fluids, insured for

public liability/ property damage, operable, and currently register.

written consent of Owner. Any such action, without prior written consent, is void.

allow pest or vermin control work to be done. Resident shall comply with all instructions, forthwith, from pest controller, fumigator

and/or exterminator regarding the preparation of the premises for the work, including the proper bagging and storage of food,

perishables and medicine.

18. LIABILITY / DAMAGE RESPONSIBILITY. Resident agrees to hold Owner harmless from all claims of loss or damage to

property, and of injury or death to persons caused by the intentional acts or negligence of the Resident, his guest or invitees, or

occurring on the premises rented for Resident’s exclusive use. Resident expressly absolves Owner from any and all liability for any

loss or damage to Resident’s property or effects arising out of water leakage or breaking pipes, or theft, or other cause beyond

the reasonable control of Owner. This includes damage to Resident’s or guest’s vehicles while parked on the property. In the event
