thereafter until rent and all other charges are paid in full. Late charges will be added to the residents account and will be paid

Resident, whichever is longer. Furthermore, if Resident fails to pay all utility charges assessed by utility companies in
connection with the use of utility services for which Resident has herein agreed to pay, Resident shall be in default of the
Lease. If Landlord is assessed by the utility company for these utility services, then Landlord may pay these utility
assessments to such utility company and apply all amounts paid to Resident’s Security Deposit.

appropriate utility companies on or before move-in for the purpose of placing such utilities in Resident’s name. Resident’s
failure to notify the appropriate utility companies and connect said utilities in Resident’s name within three (3) days of move-in

detectors and Resident is liable to Landlord and other residents for any loss or damages which arise from Resident’s

malfunctions to Landlord.
Landlord may modify the method by which utilities are furnished to the Premises and/or billed to Resident during the term of
this Lease, including, but not limited to, sub metering of the Premises for certain utility services or billing Resident for utilities
previously included within the rent. In the event Landlord chooses to so modify utility service to the Premises, Landlord shall
give Resident not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of such modification.

performances of the Resident’s obligations hereunder including, but not limited to, Resident’s payment of all monthly rental
obligations. Additionally, Resident shall pay for any actual physical damage to the apartment or the premises and for the rent
until the apartment is re-rented in the event of any default or breach of this Lease by the Resident. In the event Resident fails
to fulfill and faithfully perform all the terms and conditions of the Lease, Landlord retains all of its rights and remedies.
Resident does not have the right to cancel this Lease Agreement and avoid his or her obligations there under by forfeiting the
said security deposit and the security deposit may not be used as payment of the last month’s rental installment. The security
deposit stated above shall be held as a security deposit in escrow as a guarantee for payment or loss and for cleaning of the
rental unit, if necessary, above normal wear and tear, as well as for any other permitted use pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat.§ 42-
51. Any damage to building or furnishings will be considered above normal wear and tear. Resident acknowledges that the
rental unit was clean and in good repair to Resident’s satisfaction prior to Resident’s occupancy. Landlord will hold all deposits
advanced by the Resident in a separate non-interest bearing account for the benefit of the Resident at Wells Fargo. Resident
refunds will only be issued to a Resident named on the Lease, and will only be paid in US Dollars from a United States
banking institution in the form of a domestic check. The resident accepts all responsibility for depositing the refund and
understands no exceptions will be made.
Release of said Security Deposit is subject to the following provisions:
A. The entire apartment including all appliances and fixtures are clean to satisfaction of the Landlord.
B. No unpaid late charges or delinquent rent remains outstanding.
C. No damage to Premises beyond normal wear and tear is evident.

cleaning and repairs have been deducted along with outstanding late charges, and any other reasonable charges, the
remaining balance of said deposit will be returned by check addressed to the Resident. Upon the termination of this Lease
Agreement and, vacating of the unit by the Resident, the Landlord shall mail said security deposit refund and/or accounting of
the deposit within thirty (30) days to Resident’s forwarding address, or if no forwarding address is given, to Resident’ last
known mailing address.

prevailing party is entitled to receive his court costs plus a reasonable fee for his attorney.
11. MOVE IN/MOVE OUT PROCEDURES. Resident will be given an electronic Move in Inspection Form, that is required to be
completed in their resident portal. Resident shall use the Move in Inspection Form to note any existing damages or conditions
which are unacceptable to Resident, including any pest or insect infestation, or that are in need of repair or replacement.
Resident shall have two (2) days from the receipt of the key to Resident’s unit to complete the Move in Inspection form to
Landlord or Agent. In the event Resident does not complete the Move in Inspection Form within two (2) days of Resident’s
receipt of the key to the unit, Resident understands and agrees that any damages to the unit shall be presumed to be caused
by Resident, and Resident shall forfeit all right to claim the damages to the unit were evident prior to Resident’s move in, and
in such an event, Resident shall be liable for any and all damages in the Premises and the apartment. Resident shall

anything left behind will be considered trash and will be discarded at the cost of charged thirty dollars per bag. It is understood
and agreed that Resident’s failure to follow the prescribed move out procedure and to return all keys to Landlord or it’s Agent
may result in partial or full forfeiture of security deposit hereunder, but in no event shall such forfeiture be construed as
liquidated damages. All keys must be turned in at 10:00am to avoid a late key fee of $100 per hour that the key is returned
late.
12. UNLAWFUL EARLY MOVE OUT; RELETTING CHARGE. You will be liable to us for a reletting charge of $500 if you:
a. Fail to move in; or
b. Move out without paying rent in full for the entire Lease Contract or renewal period; or

13. POSSESSION UPON APPROVAL. Possession of the above-described premises will not be given to the Resident until
Resident’s application has been checked and approved by Landlord or Agent. Resident hereby waives any claim for damages
by reason of non-acceptance of Resident’s application. The Landlord may reject application without stating the reason for
doing so.

due, or upon Resident’s breach of any other terms, covenants, agreements or conditions herein contained, or if Resident
abandons or vacates the Premises prior to the expiration of the Term, then, Resident shall be in instant, material and
immediate default of this Lease, with or without notice of any kind to Resident. In such an event Landlord shall be entitled to

peacefully re-enter and repossess the Premises, and remove and put out Resident and Resident’s personal property in the
manner allowed by North Carolina Law. For purposes of this Lease Agreement, Abandonment shall be defined in North
Carolina State Statutes as amended from time to time. In the event of such re-entry and repossession by the Landlord or
Agent, Resident shall be liable for all costs, fees and damages incurred by Landlord or Agent and such re-entry shall not be
deemed an acceptance by the Landlord or Agent or a surrender of any rights by Landlord or otherwise constitute a release of
Resident from the terms of this Lease Agreement. It is intended that Landlord’s rights and remedies for Resident’s breach of
this Lease Agreement shall be as broad as permitted under the North Carolina Law and shall include, without limitations and
with or without notice to the Resident, (a) the right to terminate Resident’s right to possession of the Premises without
terminating this Lease agreement, reserving the right to collect the unpaid rents, charges, and assessments for damages to
the Premises; or (b) the right to terminate this Lease; (c) the right to sublease and rent the Premises for the account of the
Resident, in which event the proceeds from sub-letting shall be applied to the cost of subletting (including advertising and
commissions), second, to the cost of repairing any damages to the Premises, and third, to the Resident’s rental obligation
hereunder, with the Resident and Guarantor(s) remaining fully responsible for any deficiency in the rental payment for the
remainder of the Term; OR d) exercise any other right or remedy contained in this Lease agreement. Resident understands
and agrees that in the event Resident vacates the Premises prior to the end of the Lease term, or in the event Resident’s
Lease and/or right to possession of this Premises is terminated, Resident shall remain responsible for any and all rental
payments or other sums due which arise under the Lease until the end of the Lease term or until a new tenant takes
possession of the Premises, whichever occurs first. The exercise of any one remedy shall be deemed exclusive of the right to
collect the entire amount of unpaid rent or damages, or of the Landlord’s right to avail itself of any remedy allowed by North
Carolina Law. In the event of a default hereunder, in addition to any other remedies, the Landlord is entitled to employ an
attorney to enforce Landlord’s rights hereunder, and all reasonable fees and costs connected therewith shall be paid by
Resident. Any rents or damages, which remain unpaid after default, shall bear interest at the rate of 1 ½% per month, but in
no event greater than the highest rate allowable under state law. In any civil action brought to enforce the provisions of this
Lease Agreement the prevailing party may recover its reasonable court costs, including attorney’s fees.
In addition to court costs, service fees, and reasonable attorney’s fees, if You are in violation of this Lease and We have to
bring legal action against You, We can change the highest of one of the below fees:
Complaint-Filing Fee: A fee equal to $15.00 or five percent (5%) of the monthly rent (whichever is greater) in addition to court
costs, attorney’s fees, and any late fee owed. This can be charged if We filed a complaint for default of the Lease, and You
cured the default, and We elected to dismiss the case prior to trial;
Court Appearance Fee: A fee equal to ten percent (10%) of the monthly rent, in addition to court costs, attorney’s fees, and
any late fee owed. This can be charged if We filed a complaint for default of the Lease. We obtained a judgment, and neither
party appealed the judgment; OR

late fee owed. This can be charge if We filed a complaint for default of the Lease, We obtained a judgment, You appealed the
case to District Court, and We obtained a judgment in District Court.
By signing this rental agreement the tenant agrees that Upon surrender or abandonment, as defined by the North
Carolina Statues, the landlord shall not be liable or responsible for storage or disposition of the tenant’s personal
property.
18. ENFORCEMENT OF COVENANTS. A failure of the Landlord to insist upon a strict performance of any of the agreement,
rules, regulations or terms of this Lease Agreement shall not be constructed as a waiver for any other future performances of
any agreement, rules, regulations or terms under this Lease Agreement, but the same shall continue in full force and effect,
including payment of rent.
19. DELAYED OCCUPANCY. If possession of the leased Premises is not delivered to Resident at the beginning of the Term
because the same are not ready for occupancy or because of holding over of any previous occupant of said Premises,
Landlord shall not be liable for damages to Resident. However, during such period that Resident is unable to occupy the
leased Premises, the rental therefore shall be abated. If Landlord is not able to deliver possession to Resident within thirty
(30) days of the date named for the commencement of said Term, Resident may cancel and terminate this Lease Agreement
by tendering a written notice to Landlord. In the event of such cancellation, and for this reason only, any funds previously
given to Landlord in consideration of this Lease Agreement will be refunded.

any part thereof after the expiration of the Lease Agreement without the Landlords written consent, the Landlord may recover
possession of the Premises in accordance with North Carolina Law. The Landlord may also recover the rent in the amount of
4x the original daily leased amount on the Premises under this Lease Agreement or any part thereof, for the period during
which the Resident refuses to surrender possession of the Premises. If the resident chooses not to renew their lease, and the
lease expires, the keys are to be in the office by 10am on ending date of the Lease. For example, if the lease expires July 31,
keys are to be returned to the office by 10am on July 31. If keys are not received by 10am of the ending date of this Lease,
there will be a $100 late fee per hour applied to the resident’s account which Resident agrees to pay.

22. RELOCATION. It is understood that the apartment unit in which the Premises are located contains other bedrooms in which
other persons will reside. For purposes of operating efficiency, Landlord or Agent reserves the right, upon seven (7) days

any damages or losses to person or property caused by other residents of the Apartment Community or other persons.

are required to obtain insurance to protect their personal property and contents against such events (See Personal Content
Program section below). Resident shall at all times during the term of the lease maintain general liability coverage for the acts
and omissions in the minimum amount of $100,000 (on a per occurrence basis) per responsible lease signer. You may
purchase insurance from a qualified insurer of your own choosing or not opt-out of the recommended program ‘Resident
Liability Insurance Program’ as specified in the next section. Resident is responsible for acquiring and maintaining Resident’s
own insurance on personal property, furniture, electronic equipment, clothing, motorized vehicles, and valuables kept by
Resident in or about the Premise, Unit, and Community. Owner shall not be liable to Resident, Roommates, or their
respective guests for any damage, injury, or loss to person or property (furniture, jewelry, clothing, electronic
equipment, vehicles, and other valuables, etc.) from mechanical malfunction, fire, flood, water leaks, rain, hail, ice,
snow, smoke, lightning, wind, explosions, interruption of utilities, or other occurrences unless such damage, injury,
or loss is caused by the negligence of Owner. Resident expressly waives all claims for such injury, loss, or damage.

be responsible for all damages caused by Resident, including but not limited to, fire, smoke, grease or cooking fires, or
activation of the sprinkler system, if applicable. Resident must provide proof insurance throughout the lease term and will
breach lease agreement if not obtained with proof of coverage provided to owner. Failure to provide validated proof of
insurance will result in automatic opt in to the Resident Liability Insurance Program at any point throughout the lease term.
Resident Liability Insurance Program. As an added service to Residents, the owner will automatically include a $12
monthly (per Resident) charge in this Contract for Liability Insurance through our Resident Liability Insurance Program (RLIP)
unless resident provides proof of qualifying alternative coverage. The RLIP may be stopped on the last day of any month with
proof of alternative qualifying coverage (No prorates). The RLIP fulfils the property requirement of $100,000 liability coverage
per responsible lease signer but does not provide any personal content coverage. If an alternative to the RLIP is utilized,
resident must provide proof of coverage, name POPIC-Horizon (address must be listed: P.O. Box 1159, Newport Beach, CA
92659) as a certificate holder or interested party and name the property as a certificate holder or interested party. The
principals of Landlord have an ownership interest in the RLIP. Because of this relationship, this referral will provide the
principals of Landlord a financial or other benefit.
Any Resident that is not in compliance with the Property and Liability Insurance policy can be fined up to $50.00 each month
for non-compliance until proof of insurance is provided and the Owner may terminate this Lease. This $50.00 non-compliance
fee does not relieve Resident of the requirement of renter’s insurance nor does it enroll them in any site provided insurance
plan.
Personal Content Program (“PCON”). Resident shall be automatically enrolled in additional person property damage and
replacement coverage for Five Dollars ($5.00) per month per responsible occupant. The Personal Content Program (“PCON”)
provides a limit of $4,000 of coverage with a $500 deductible. Resident may opt out of the PCON at any time by completing
the required opt out form (“PCON Opt Out Form”) and emailing the form to hra. . By completing the PCON
Opt Out Form, Resident acknowledges that he or she shall not be allowed to file any claims for loss or damage under the
PCON and Resident will be personally responsible for any and all damage to Resident’s property as state above. Upon
execution of the PCON Opt Out Form, Resident shall not be eligible for coverage under any PCON until the following Contract
Term.
The PCON shall be arranged through Worth Ave. Group (“WAG”). Resident acknowledges that WAG is no way affiliated with
the Landlord or Principals of Landlord. If Resident fails to remit payment of the Additional Fee for the PCON when due,
Resident shall automatically be opted out of the PCON, will not be allowed to file any claims for loss or damage to the
Resident’s personal property and will be personally responsible for damage to Resident’s property whether or not a PCON
Opt Out Form is completed. All claims under the PCON shall be processed directly through WAG according to WAG’s
instruction, and Landlord shall not be responsible for the processing or payment of any claim. Resident agrees to pay any and
all cost associated with PCON as additional rent and all other obligations in the Resident Lease Agreement.

Guaranty Agreement
Guaranty Agreement can be found in initial application for rental.
Technology Services
If Landlord or Agent detects any abuse or fraudulent use of services, Landlord or Agent reserves the right to bill Resident for such
charges that may result from such abuse and fraudulent use, or assess such charges against Residents, and/or terminate services
provided by the Landlord.
If Resident desires alternative telephone, Resident must contact the appropriate provider to make arrangements for the services at
Resident’s expense.
Landlord provides direct connection to an Internet Service Provider and/or a university network, where available as chosen by
Landlord. Please do not install a router in your unit or set up Internet through another provider. There is limited wireless
space and adding additional Wi-Fi degrades the performance of the network, making it harder for residents to get their
studies completed. There are several access points installed throughout the community. In addition, should Resident
disconnect router for any reason (including to directly connect personal device(s) to internet services, Resident will be
assessed a $100 fee per occurrence.
As a separate service, Landlord provides cable connection through a contracted Cable Service Provider. Every Resident will be
provided with a cable box converter, cable cord, and remote. It is the responsibility of the Resident to notify the office within 48 hours of
picking up keys if one of the aforementioned items is missing. All three items must be left in working conditions at the end of the lease
term. If cable equipment is not found during inspections after Resident moves out, Resident agrees to pay a minimum fee of $60 (or
separate fee if only separate items are missing), which can be deducted from Security Deposit, if applicable.
While Landlord does not anticipate a monthly technology fee for the usage of these services, Landlord reserves the right to notify and
charge Resident of a change in the Monthly Technology Fee with no less than 25 days prior written notice.
In the event Resident is in default under any of the Terms of the lease, or in violations of the terms and conditions of the Internet
Service and/or Cable Service Provider and/or the terms and conditions governing the university provided services, Landlord has the
right to discontinue Resident’s connections, the Internet Service Provider, Cable Service Provider, and/or university provided services.
Landlord or Agent will not be liable for any interruption, surge, or failure of utility or services provided to Resident or any damage
directly or indirectly caused by the interruption surge or failure.

Drug Free Housing
Residents, Management and Ownership of Centennial Village Apartments adopt a NO TOLERENCE FOR ILLEGAL DRUGS policy.
Residents, management, and ownership also endorse the concept that certain behavior which may tend to give the appearance of
illegal drug usage is considered to be just AS UNDESIRABLE as the actual ILLEGAL USE/SALE/BARTER/TRADE OF DRUGS.
Resident therefore agrees that:
A. Neither he/she nor any of his/her family and/or guest will participate in illegal drug usage within the community or
within sight of the community.
B. Resident will not allow such behavior to happen and will immediately report it to management or security if they
cannot stop such behavior immediately.
If two or more members of management/security note a violation of this policy in person or on videotape, resident agree to peacefully
vacate the premises immediately upon notification by management that such violation has occurred. Resident agrees that this decision
by management is final and not subject to challenge or debate.
Behavior that is unacceptable will result in lease cancellation, including but limited to:
A. More than two off-property “guests” visiting the unit during a 24-hour period and each staying less than two hours.
(Exceptions to this rule may be if guests are registered in the management office and a letter of permission issued to
the Guest and Security team by the manager).
B. Behavior which is abnormal, suspicious, and/or erratic from that of other residents and which could be construed as
being the result of illegal use and/or dealing in illegal drugs.
C. Association and or communication within the community boundaries or in sight from its boundaries with any person
dealing with/using illegal drugs or known to do it.
D. Falling to immediately report any known or suspected illegal drugs activity within the community or within the sight
from its boundaries. (The anonymity of the reporting person(s) will be respected).
Resident acknowledges and endorses management conducting hidden and continuous videotaping of common areas throughout the
community in an effort to support enforcement of this Illegal Drug Policy. Resident understands that although effective enforcement of
this Illegal Drug Policy may involve a certain loss of freedom, Resident agrees that this is necessary for the success of this policy.

Court Procedures for Non-Payment of Rent
Residents understand that rental payments are due on the first of every month. Centennial Village allows five days of grace to submit
your payment in full to the Centennial Village Leasing Office in the form of personal check, money order, and/or cashier’s check
ONLY. Resident also understands that if their rental payment is submitted after the fifth day of the month, a late fee of five percent of
the base rental amount is automatically charged to your account. If the resident’s rental payment proceeds to be late, management
proceeds to file court evictions papers on the tenth day of the month, therefore, with this filing, Wake County Court Costs are
automatically assessed to your account. (Court Costs are subject to increase at any time, due to changes in North Carolina State Law).
Centennial Village Apartments will only allow a Resident to reinstate their lease a maximum of three times after an eviction is filed. After
filing the third time, Centennial Village will not accept any payment and allow a resident to reinstate their Lease after the eviction action
has been filed.

HRA REQUIRED LIABILITY PROTECTION ADDENDUM TO LEASE AGREEMENT
Resident Liability Protection Program (“RLIP”)
This Addendum is attached to and becomes a part of the Residential Lease Agreement. For the duration of the Lease
Agreement, Lessee (“Resident”) is required to maintain and provide the following minimum required liability protection
coverage per responsible lease signer*:
● $100,000 Limit of Liability (per responsible lease signer) for Lessee’s legal liability for damage to the landlord’s
property for no less than the following causes of loss: fire, smoke, explosion, backup or overflow of sewer, drain or
sump, water damage, and falling objects.
● Lessee is required to furnish Lessor (“Landlord”) with evidence of Minimum Required Liability Protection prior to
occupancy of leased premises and at the time of each lease renewal period. If at any time Lessee does not have
Minimum Required Liability Protection, Lessee is in breach of the Lease Agreement and Lessor shall have, in
addition to any other rights under the Lease Agreement, the right but not the obligation to purchase Minimum
Required Liability Protection coverage and seek reimbursement from the Lessee for all costs and expenses
associated with such purchase.
● Lessee may obtain Minimum Required Liability Protection or broader coverage from an insurance agent or
insurance company of Lessee’s choice. If Lessee furnishes evidence of such insurance and maintains the
insurance for the duration of the Lease Agreement, nothing more is required.
● If Lessee does not maintain Minimum Required Liability Protection, the liability requirement of this Lease
Agreement may be satisfied by Lessor, who may schedule the Lessee’s unit in the Resident Liability Protection
Program (“RLIP”). RLIP will provide the Minimum Required Liability Protection coverage listed above. An amount
equal to the total cost of the RLIP and administrative fees shall be charged to Lessee by the Lessor. Some
important points of this program, which Lessee should understand are:
RLIP is not personal liability insurance or renters insurance. Lessor makes no representation that
RLIP covers the Lessee’s personal property (contents), additional living expense or liability arising out
of bodily injury to any third party. If Lessee requires any of these coverages, then Lessee should
contact an insurance agent or insurance company of Lessee’s choice.
The RLIP may be more expensive than the cost of Minimum Required Liability Protection obtainable
by Lessee elsewhere. At any time, Lessee may contact an insurance agent or insurance company of
their choice for insurance options to satisfy the Minimum Required Liability Protection under this
Lease Agreement.
The total cost to the Lessee for the Lessor obtaining RLIP coverage shall be twelve dollars and no
cents ($12.00) per month per responsible lease signer.
● If Lessee obtains Minimum Required Liability Protection or broader coverage from an insurance agent or
insurance company of Lessee’s choice, Lessee agrees to:
1. Name POPIC-Horizon as an additional interest:
P.O. Box 1159, Newport Beach, CA 92659
2. Name Centennial Village as an additional interest
3. Email a copy of the policy/declarations page to hra.
● Scheduling under the RLIP is not mandatory and Lessee may purchase Minimum Required Liability Protection or
broader coverage from an insurance agent or insurance company of Lessee’s choice at any time and coverage
under the RLIP policy will be terminated by the Lessor. The principals of Landlord have an ownership interest in
Centennial Village
the RLIP. Because of this relationship, this referral will provide the principals of Landlord a financial or other
benefit.
Lessee agrees to pay Lessor this amount in addition to all other obligations in the Lease Contract. Lessee also agrees the
cost of this RLIP will be considered additional rent for purposes of the Lease Contract. Lessee understands that any
liability insurance Lessor purchases under this section will not cover you for loss or damage to your personal
property—only a renter’s insurance policy does this.
Personal Content Program (“PCON”)
Lessee hereby acknowledges that Lessee shall be automatically enrolled in additional personal property damage and
replacement coverage for an Additional Fee of Five Dollars ($5.00) per month. The Personal Content Program (“PCON”)
provides a limit of $4,000 of coverage with a $500 deductible. Lessee may opt out of the PCON at any time by notifying
Lessor of Lessee’s decision to opt out and by completing the required opt out form (“PCON Opt Out Form”) and emailing
the form to hra. . The PCON Opt Out Form must be completed no later than thirty (30) days prior to
Lessee’s next billing cycle, to opt out of PCON for the subsequent month. By completing the PCON Opt Out Form, Lessee
acknowledges that he or she shall not be allowed to file any claims for loss or damage under the PCON and Lessee shall
be personally responsible for any and all damage to Lessee’s property as stated above. Upon execution of the PCON Opt
Out Form, Lessee shall not be eligible for coverage under any PCON until the following Contract Term.
The PCON shall be arranged through Worth Ave. Group (“WAG”). Lessee acknowledges that WAG is in no way affiliated
with Lessor. If Lessee fails to remit payment of the Additional Fee for the PCON when due, Lessee shall automatically be
opted out of the PCON, will not be allowed to file any claims for loss or damage to the Lessee’s personal property and will
be personally responsible for damage to Lessee’s property whether or not a PCON Opt Out Form is completed. All claims
under the PCON shall be processed directly through WAG according to WAG’s instruction, and Lessor shall not be
responsible for the processing or payment of any claim.
Lessee agrees to pay Lessor this amount as additional rent and all other obligations in the Residential Lease Agreement.
Please email all PCON Opt Out Forms to hra. .

Smoke-Free Housing Addendum
This Smoke-Free Housing Addendum is incorporated into the Lease Agreement between Centennial Village, Landlord and FANGZHOU
ZHAI, Resident, dated 07/08/2021 for an apartment within the Centennial Village community located at 2311 Crescent Creek Drive
(“Premises”).
Due to the increased risk of fire, the adverse health outcomes associated with exposure to secondhand smoke, the increased
maintenance and cleaning costs from smoking, and the higher costs of fire insurance for a non-smoke-free building, this apartment
community has established the following:
A. Smoke-free Housing Policy
Smoking is prohibited anywhere in the apartment community except in exterior smoking area(s) designated by the Land lord.
● There shall be no smoking in the resident’s unit
● There shall be no smoking in common interior areas including, but not limited to, hallways, stairways, foyers, laundry
rooms, common rooms, facilities, breezeways and storage areas.
● There should be no smoking in any common area maintained by Landlord, including the clubhouse, the business center,
pool area, or any other amenity or facility offered by Landlord for Resident’s use.
● All smoking related trash much be disposed of in proper waste receptacles.
● This policy prohibits the use of “electronic cigarette”.
B. Definition of Smoking
Smoking is defined as inhaling, exhaling, breathing, carrying or possessing any lighted cigar, cigarette, pipe, or other product
containing any amount of tobacco or any other substance, or other similar lighted product.
The term “electronic cigarette” means electronic device that provides a vapor of liquid nicotine to the user as she or he simulates
smoking.
The term “electronic cigarette” includes such devices whether they are manufactured or referred to as e-cigarettes, e-cigars, e-
pipes, or under any product name.
C. Applicability
These rules apply to the resident as well as any guests or visitors of the resident. Resident is responsible for informing Resident’s
guests and visitors of the no smoking rule.
D. Effect of Breach and Right to Terminate Lease
A breach of this policy shall be considered a default of the Lease and will be grounds for immediate termination or non-renewal of
the Lease by the Landlord. In the event of default, Landlord may exercise any and all rights and remedies contained in the Lease
or provided by Law, including without limitation, the termination of Resident’s right to possession of the Premises and/or Lease.
Additionally, if Resident should breach this policy, Resident shall reimburse Landlord for any and all expenses and damages
incurred to restore the unit to a smoke-free condition, including but not limited to painting and cleaning costs and costs associated
with odor removal from the Premises.
E. Disclaimer
Resident acknowledges that Landlord’s adaptation of a smoke-free housing policy does not make the Landlord a guarantor of
Resident’s health or of the smoke-free condition of the Resident’s apartment and the common areas. Landlord specifically
disclaims any implied or expressed warranties that the building, common areas, or Resident’s premises will have any higher or
improved air quality standards that any other rental property. Landlord cannot and does not warranty or promise that the rental
premises or common areas will be free from secondhand smoke. Landlord does not assume any higher duty of care to enforce this
policy that any other landlord obligation under the Lease and Rules and Regulations.
