1. RENT

: T

enant shall pay to Landlord at the above address (or such other address as Landlord may

esignate in writing) the Monthly Rent set forth above on or before the first day of each month of the

Term in advance. The Monthly Rent, Monthly Storage Fee and Monthly Parking Fee, and all other rental

fees due and payable under this Lease, if any, shall hereinafter be referred to collectively as "Rent". The

time of each and every payment of Rent is deemed to be of the essence of this Lease. To cover

Landlord's added costs resulting from late payments, the Rent set forth above shall be increased by

the amount set forth above as "Late Charge" if paid after the 5th day of the month. To cover

Landlord's added costs for processing of checks that are dishonored or are returned due to

insufficient funds in the account, Rent shall be increased by the amount set forth above as

"Returned Check Charge." Rent mailed in shall be deemed paid on date of receipt by Landlord. If

Tenant fails to pay Rent within 5 days after receipt of written notice from Landlord that such Rent is

overdue, Landlord may terminate this Lease or pursue any other rights and remedies of Landlord at law

or in equity.

2. POSSESSION

: On or prior to the Beginning Date of this Lease, Landlord shall deliver possession

the Premises to Tenant. Possession shall be deemed to have been delivered to Tenant on the day

that Landlord either (A) actually delivers to Tenant keys to the Premises or (B) makes available to

Tenant at the office of the Building or at such other place as designated by Landlord keys to the Premises.

If Landlord cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on or prior to the Beginning Date of the

Term, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect with Rent abated until such time as the

Premises is available for Tenant's occupancy, unless Tenant elects to maintain an action for possession

of the Premises, or, upon written notice to Landlord, elects to terminate this Lease.

3. APPLICATION

: The application for this Lease and all representations and promises contained

herein are hereby made a part of this Lease. Tenant warrants that the information given by Tenant in the

application is true. If such information is false, Landlord may at Landlord's option terminate this Lease by giv-

ing Tenant not less than 10 days prior written notice, which shall be Landlord's sole remedy. Tenant

shall be responsible for any and all Rent which accrues under this Lease prior to the termination date.

4. PROMISES OF THE PARTIES

: The terms and conditions contained herein shall be conclusively

eemed the agreement between Tenant and Landlord and no modification, waiver or amendment of this

Lease or any of its terms, conditions or covenants shall be binding upon the parties unless made in writing

and signed by the party sought to be bound.

5. SECURITY DEPOSIT

: Tenant has deposited with Landlord the Security Deposit in the amount set

orth above for the performance of each and every covenant and agreement to be performed by Tenant

under this Lease. Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to apply the Security Deposit in whole

or in part as payment of such amounts as are covenants or agreements contained herein. Landlord's right

to possession of the Premisest for non-payment of Rent by Tenant or any other reason shall not be

affected by the fact that Landlord is holding the Security Deposit. Tenant's liability is not limited to the

amount of the Security Deposit. Within 30 days after Landlord's application of the Security Deposit, or

any part thereof, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of such application. If the application is on

account of maintenance, repairs or replacements necessitated by Tenant, Landlord's notice shall include

the estimated or actual cost of the same, attaching estimates or paid receipts. Upon receipt of Landlord's

notice, Tenant shall at once pay to Landlord an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit in full.

Upon termination of this Lease, full payment of all amounts due and performance of all Tenant's

covenants and agreements (including surrender of the Premises in accordance with Section 15), the

Security Deposit or any portion thereof remaining unapplied shall be returned to Tenant in accordance

with applicable law. The Security Deposit shall not be deemed, construed or allocated by Tenant as payment

of Rent for any month of the Term.

6. LANDLORD'S MAINTENANCE OBLIGATIONS

Tenant hereby declares that Tenant has inspected the Premises, the Building and all

related areas and grounds and that Tenant is satisfied with the physical condition thereof. Tenant

agrees that no representations, warranties (expressed or Implied) or covenants with respect to the

condition, maintenance or improvements of the Premises, the Building, or other areas have

been made to Tenant except (1) those contained In this Lease or otherwise In writing signed by

Landlord and (2) those provided under applicable law.

B. Landlord agrees that Landlord will perform work required to be performed by Landlord

under this Lease within a reasonable time not to exceed 30 days from the Beginning Date hereof.

C. Landlord covenants that all times during the Term, Landlord shall maintain the Premises and

the Building (if Landlord owns and/or has control over the owners of the Building) to the following

minimum standards:

(1) Effective weather protection, including unbroken windows and doors;

(2) Plumbing facilities in good working order;

(3) A water supply which either under the control of Tenant is capable of producing hot and

cold running water, or under the control of Landlord produces hot and cold running water,

furnished to appropriate fixtures, and connected to a sewerage system;

(4) Heating (and, if furnished, air cond

tioning and ventilation) facilities in good working order

which, if under the control of Tenant, are capable of producing, or, if under the control of

Landlord, produce heat (and, if furnished, air conditioning and ventilation) in fixtures provided

(and no others) within reasonable accepted tolerances and during reasonable hours. (In the

case of heat, minimum tolerances shall be those established by the governing municipal code

or ordinance);

(5) Gas and/or electrical appliances which are supplied by Landlord in good working order,

and appropriate gas piping and electrical wiring system to the extent existing in the Building

maintained in good working order and sale condition;

(6) Building, grounds and areas under the control of Landlord in clean, sanitary and safe

condition free from ail accumulations of debris, filth, rubbish, garbage, rodents and vermin;

(7) Adequate and appropriate receptacle(s) for garbage and rubbish, and, if under the control of

Landlord, in clean condition and good repair;

(8) Floors, stairways, and railings and common areas in good repair;

(9) Apartment floors, walls and ceilings in good repair and safe condition; and

(10) Elevators (it existing) in good repair and safe condition.

D. It is, however understood and agreed that the Building is a physical structure subject to aging,

wear, tear, abuse, inherent defects, and numerous forces causing disrepair or breakdown beyond

Landlord's reasonable control, and that components and skilled workmen are not always immediately

available. Landlords costs of operation are fixed and unavoidable and to permit rent abatement or

damages to Tenant would create an intolerable burden on Landlord, other tenants and the surrounding

neighborhood. It is, therefore, understood and agreed that breakdowns of equipment or disrepair

caused by (1) conditions caused by Tenant, members of Tenant's household, guests or other persons

who enter or occupy the Premises with Tenant's consent; (2) Tenant's unreasonable refusal of or other

interference with entry of Landlord or Landlord's workmen or contractors into the Premises or the

Building for purposes of correcting defective conditions; (3) lack of reasonable opportunity for

Landlord to correct defective conditions; or (4) conditions beyond Landlord's reasonable control,

including strikes or lockouts. In any action against Landlord for breach of the Lease or the covenants

contained herein with respect to Landlord's obligations to maintain the Building and/or the Premises,

Landlord may assert, as a defense to such claim, that Landlord did not have actual knowledge of such

defective conditions.

7. UTILITIES

: Unless otherwise agreed in writing, if the Premises is separately metered for utilities,

nant shall pay the utility company or authorized metering agency directly for all applicable charges

for gas, electricity, water and other utilities serving the Premises, including, if applicable, telephone,

internet, cable, and current used for electric heating, ventilation, air conditioning, hot water, etc., as such

charges become due and payable. If Tenant fails to timely pay the utility companies for the use of such

utilities, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay such utility companies directly, in

which event Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such costs, including any late fees, upon demand.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, if the Premises are not separately metered for utilities, Tenant shall

reimburse Landlord, no more than once per month, for all utilities consumed by Tenant in the Premises

during the Term within 10 days after Landlord delivers a statement to Tenant setting forth Tenant's share

of the costs for such utilities, which statement shall include invoices, receipts or other documentation

setting forth such costs in reasonable detail.

8. TENANT'S USE OF PREMISES

: The Premises shall be occupied solely for residential pur-

ses by Tenant, those other persons specifically listed on the first page of this Lease, if any, and

any children which may be born to or legally adopted by Tenant during the Term. Neither Tenant nor

any of those persons shall perform nor permit any practice that may damage the reputation of or

otherwise be injurious to the Premises, the Building or the neighborhood, or be disturbing to other

tenants, be illegal, or increase the rate of insurance on the Premises or the Building.

9. TENANT'S MAINTENANCE OBLIGATIONS

: Tenant covenants and agrees to perform the

ollowing obligations during the Term: (A) maintain the Premises and appurtenances in a clean,

sanitary and safe condition; (B) dispose of all rubbish, garbage and other waste in a clean,

sanitary and timely manner from the Premises into the refuse receptacles provided; (C) properly use

and operate all appliances, electrical, gas and plumbing fixtures within the Premises; (0) not place in

the Premises or the Building any furniture, plants, animals, or any other things which harbor insects,

rodents, or other pests; (E) keep out of the Premises and the Building materials which cause a fire

hazard or safety hazard and comply with all reasonable requirements of Landlord's fire insurance

carrier; (F) not destroy, deface, damage, impair nor remove any part of the Building, the Premises or

facilities, equipment or appurtenances thereto; (G) maintain the smoke detector and carbon monoxide

detector, if any, in the Premises in accordance with applicable law, and (H) prevent any person in the

Premises or the Building with Tenant's permission from violating any of the foregoing obligations of

Tenant. Tenant shall not suffer or commit any waste in or about the Premises or the Building and

shall, at Tenant's expense, keep the Premises in good order and repair (except with respect to the

maintenance obligations of Landlord under this Lease). On termination of this Lease, Tenant shall

return the Premises to Landlord in the condition that the Premises was in as of the Beginning Date,

reasonable wear excepted.

10. ALTERATIONS, ADDITIONS, FIXTURES, APPLIANCES, PERSONAL PROPERTY

: Tenant

shall make no alterations or additions nor install, attach, connect or construct in the Premises or any

part of the Building, interior or exterior, major appliances or devices of any kind without, in each and

every instance, first receiving the written consent of Landlord, and then, if such consent is granted,

only upon the terms and conditions specified in such written consent. All alterations, additions and

fixtures (including security devices) whether temporary or permanent in character, made by

Landlord or Tenant, in or upon the Premises shall, unless otherwise agreed to in writing or unless

Landlord requests their removal prior to the Ending Date, become Landlord's properly and shall remain

in the Premises at the termination of the Lease without compensation to Tenant. The foregoing

notwithstanding, neither Landlord's nor Tenant's insurance carriers shall be liable to Tenant for the

replacement of such alterations, additions, or fixtures in the event of casualty loss unless Tenant

notifies Landlord of the replacement value and pays, as additional rent, the resultant premium

increase, if any. If Landlord shall permit or demand removal, Tenant shall put that part of the Premises

into the same condition as existed prior to the installation of such alteration, addition, or fixture.

11. ACCESS: L

andlord reserves the right in accordance herewith to enter the Premises in order to

nspect same, make necessary or agreed repairs, decorations, alterations, or improvements, supply

necessary or agreed services, or exhibit the Premises to prospective or actual purchasers,

mortgagees, tenants, workmen, or contractors, or as is otherwise necessary in the operation and/or

protection of the Premises, the Building, its components or persons therein. At Landlord's discretion,

Landlord shall be provided with and may retain and use copies of any keys necessary for access to

the Premises. In the event of apparent or actual emergency, Landlord may enter the Premises at any

time without notice. At any time within 90 days prior to the end of the Term, after a single general

written notice, Landlord may as often as necessary show the Premises for rent any day between the

hours of 9 AM and 8 PM on not less than 15-minute verbal or written specific notice to Tenant or other

occupant of the Premises. At other times, Landlord shall only enter the Premises at times mutually agreed

upon between Landlord and Tenant; however, if entry at such times is impractical or refused, Landlord

may enter the Premises after 24 hours' notice and only during the period of 7 AM to 7 PM Monday

through Saturday. In the event of the willful or negligent breach of this Section 11, the non-breaching

party shall at once be entitled to actual damages or liquidated damages in the amount of 2 months of

the then-current Monthly Rent and an injunction, if necessary, to prevent continuation of such breach.

12. SUBLETTING AND RE-LETTING

In no event shall Tenant assign this Lease or sublet the Premises without, in each

instance, first receiving the prior written consent of Landlord. Tenant may only assign this Lease or

sublet the Premises if all of the following conditions are met: (1) Tenant is not then in default under

the terms of this Lease, (2) Landlord consents to the prospective new tenant in writing, and (3)

Tenant upon demand pays, in advance, (a) the deficiency, if any, that exists between the aggregate

rent being paid as a result of such assignment or subletting and the Rent that is due and owing

Landlord under this Lease for the balance of the Term, and (b) ell permissible expenses of Landlord

on account of such assignment or subletting, if any, including, but not limited to, decorating, repairs,

replacements, commissions and/or administrative fees for performing the details attendant to such a

transaction in the amount set forth above as the 'Reletting Charge.' Landlord, at Landlord's option,

shall determine whether Tenant's transfer of interest in the Lease or the Premises shall be treated

as a subletting, assignment or re-letting. In the event of a subletting or assignment, Tenant shall still

be liable for all of the terms and conditions required of Tenant to be performed under this Lease. In

the event of a re-letting, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such re-letting and Tenant shall

have no further obligations hereunder, except for those obligations that expressly survive termination

of this Lease.

B. Landlord may at any time and for any reason reject any prospective new tenant offered

by Tenant or by others; provided, however, that if Landlord shall do so without cause, Tenant

shall be liable to Landlord only for the deficiency and/or actual or estimated expenses described in

A(2) (a) and (b) of this Section 12 which would have been due from Tenant had the prospective new

tenant been accepted. Cause shall be deemed to be the failure, based on information and data

made available to Landlord (or lack thereof), of such prospective new tenant to meet the criteria

customarily employed by Landlord to evaluate the acceptability of prospects as tenants for similar

apartments in the Building. During the last 3 months of the Term, Landlord shall be obligated to

accept an otherwise qualified prospective new tenant only If said prospective new tenant enters into

a direct lease with Landlord for a term for which leases are customarily offered for similar apartments

in the Building. Landlord may fill other vacancies in the Building first before re-letting or subletting

or attempting to re-let or sublet the Premises.

C. Tenant shall neither sublet the Premises nor any part thereof nor assign this Lease nor

permit by any act or default or any transfer of Tenant's interest in the Premises or this Lease by

operation of law or otherwise, nor offer the Premises or any part thereof for lease or sublease

except in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 12. Any attempted transfer

by Tenant in violation of the terms of this Section 12 shall be voidable by Landlord.

13. ABANDONMENT

: Tenant shall not abandon the Premises, nor permit the Premises to remain

acant or unoccupied for a period of time which could be construed as abandonment under state or

local law or ordinance. Tenant shall not allow persons other than those authorized by this Lease to

occupy the Premises as guests for periods in excess of 7 consecutive days during the Term for any

reason.

14. FIRE AND CASUALTY

If the Premises and/or the Building is damaged or destroyed by fire or casualty, and the

Premises is only partially damaged and is inhabitable, and Landlord makes full repairs within 90

days, this Lease shall continue without abatement or apportionment of rent; or

B. If the Premises is damaged or destroyed by fire or casualty and (1) the Premises is

rendered uninhabitable, (2) continued occupancy would be illegal, or (3) Landlord cannot or does not

repair within 90 days, then Landlord may. at Landlord's option, (1) terminate this Lease or (2)

relocate Tenant to another comparable apartment in the Building until repair and restoration of

the Premises is completed. If Landlord cannot or does not repair within 90 days, Tenant's sole

remedy shall be to vacate the Premises (or substitute premises) and notify Landlord in writing within

5 days thereafter of Tenant's intent to terminate this Lease, in which event this Lease shell

terminate as of the date Tenant vacates the Premises and all prepaid rent and unapplied Security

Deposit shall be returned to Tenant.

C. In the event that a fire or casualty causes damage or destruction to the Premises, nothing

in this Section 14 shall be construed to limit the rights and remedies available to Tenant under state

and local laws and ordinances governing fire and casualty damage in buildings like the Building.

15. TERMINATION AND RETURN OF POSSESSION

Upon the termination of this Lease, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, or upon

termination of Tenant's right of possession without termination of this Lease, Tenant shall immediately

vacate and surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord and deliver all keys to Landlord at the

place where Rent is payable, or as otherwise directed by Landlord. The mere retention of

possession of the Premises after termination of this Lease or termination of Tenant's right of

possession of the Premises shall constitute a forcible detainer, and Landlord shall have the

right and license with process of law (and if Tenant abandons the Premises, Tenant grants

Landlord and Landlord shall have such right and license without process of law) to enter into the

Premises, to have the Premises returned to Landlord as Landlord's former estate and to take

possession of the Premises and to expel and remove Tenant, and any others who may be

occupying or within the Premises, and any personal property within the Premises from the Premises

without relinquishing Landlord's right to Rent or any other right given to Landlord under this Lease or

by operation of law. If Tenant abandons the Premises and Landlord exercises the right and

license to enter without process of law, Landlord r may use such force as may be necessary without

being deemed in any manner guilty of trespass, eviction, or forcible entry or detainer.

B. Tenant agrees that in the event Tenant fails to vacate and surrender the Premises

upon termination of this Lease or Tenant's right of possession of the Premises that:

(1) Tenant shall pay as liquidated damages for the entire time that possession is withheld

a sum equal to the greater of (i) three times the amount of rent herein reserved, pro rated per day of

such withholding, or (ii) Landlord's actual damages if same are ascertainable; or

(2) Landlord, at its sole option, may, upon giving Tenant written notice, extend the Term of

this Lease for a like period of time not to exceed one year at such rent as Landlord has stated

prior to said termination date; or

(3) If Landlord fails to notify Tenant or Landlord's election under either (1) or (2) of this

Section 15 within 45 days of the termination of this Lease or the termination of Tenant's right of

possession, Tenant's continued occupancy shall be for a month-to-month term.

C. No action or non-action by Landlord except as expressly provided herein shall operate as a

waiver of Landlord's right to terminate this Lease or Tenant's right of possession, nor operate to

extend the Term.

16. EMINENT DOMAIN (CONDEMNATION)

: If the whole or any substantial part of the Building is

ken or condemned by any competent authority for any public use or purpose, or if any adjacent

property or street shall be so condemned or improved in such a manner as to require the use of any

part of the Building, the Term of this Lease shall, at the option of Landlord or the condemning

authority, be terminated upon, and not before, the date when possession of the part so taken shall

be required for such use or purpose, and Landlord shell be entitled to receive the entire award without

apportionment with Tenant. Rent shall be apportioned as of the date when Tenant vacates the Premises

and possession of the part of the Building so taken is transferred to the condemning authority.

nding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns

of Landlord and Tenant, subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 12 hereof, except that where

death of one or both Tenants, the surviving Tenant and/or the heirs or legal representatives of the

deceased Tenant may terminate this Lease effective as of the last day any calendar month within 120

days of said occurrence by delivering to Landlord not less than 45 days prior written notice.

19. NOTICES

Lease).

. TENANT TO INSURE POSSESSIONS / LIMITATIONS OF LANDLORD LIABILITY

ndlord is not an insurer of Tenant's person or possessions. Tenant agrees that all of Tenant's

person and property in the Premises or elsewhere in the Building shall be at the risk of Tenant only

possession, or any other act or acts resulting in termination of Tenant's right of possession.
