the Tenants as the security deposit and application fee for each adult of $50 The landlord may,
as allowed by law, deduct from the security deposit the number of damages incurred by him
due to the Tenants’ breach of this lease. Tenants are not entitled to have the security deposit

(including the return of all keys), the landlord shall return the unused portion of the security
deposit.

MOVE-IN CONDITION. Landlord shall provide the first tenant to take possession of the
premises with a “move-in/move-out condition report” form. That tenant shall complete the

habitable condition, free of pests and visible mold, with all smoke detectors installed in the
premises in proper working condition.

start date of the tenancy. Landlord shall be responsible for having holdover tenants evicted.

responsible for any other damages to Tenants unless Landlord’s failure was willful, in which
case Tenants’ remedies shall be in accordance with law.

If the landlord is unable to deliver possession due to circumstances beyond his control, he
shall have ten (10) days to remedy the situation and put tenants into possession. If he fails to
do so, tenants may immediately terminate the lease and recover all prepaid rent and deposits.

to each Tenant one set of keys to the premises and mailbox. Upon Tenants’ surrender of the
premises to Landlord, each Tenant shall return to Landlord all keys issued to him as well as
all copies. If tenants fail to return all keys, tenants shall pay the cost of making replacement
copies or replacing the locks at the landlord’s option.

five days after written notice is served notifying the tenants of the non-payment and of
Landlord’s intention to terminate the lease if the rent is not paid within the five-day period
(i.e. within five days of service of the “Five Day Pay-or-Quit Notice”), the landlord may
terminate the lease and proceed to obtain possession of the premises in accordance with the
law. Acceptance of rent after the five-day period shall not act as a waiver of the landlord’s
rights and Landlord hereby reserves all rights to receive payment of rent after the five-day
notice and proceed in court for possession of the premises and all other remedies allowed by
law.

any defects in or damages to the plumbing, sanitary, electrical, gas, heating, or cooling
systems, as well as any leaks in the roof or evidence of structural damage. Tenants shall not
repair these defects or damages without obtaining the prior, written permission of the
landlord, which the landlord may reasonably refuse; however, tenants shall take reasonable
steps to prevent additional damage.

relieve the surviving tenants or the estate of the deceased from their liability to pay all rent and
charges owed through the date that the landlord is put in possession of the premises.
EXTENDED ABSENCES & ABANDONMENT. If all of the tenants will be absent from the
premises for a period in excess of ten (10) days, tenants shall give the landlord advance written
