15. HOUSE, POOL, AND LAUNDRY RULES: RESIDENT shall comply with all house, pool, pet, and laundry rules attached to this agreement which may be changed from time to time.
These rules shall apply to, but are not limited to, noise, odors, disposal of trash, pets, parking, use of common areas, and storage of toys, bicycles, tools, and other personal items

day notice and the resident giving a 30-day written notice of intention to terminate. Where laws require “just cause,” such just cause shall be so stated on said notice. The premises
shall be considered vacated only after all areas including storage areas are clear of all RESIDENT’S belongings, and keys and other property furnished for RESIDENT’S use are
returned to OWNER. Should the RESIDENT hold over beyond the termination date or fail to vacate all possessions on or before the termination date, RESIDENT shall be liable for
additional rent and damages, which may include damages due to OWNER’S loss of prospective new RENTERS.
18. POSSESSION: If OWNER is unable to deliver possession of the Apartment to RESIDENT on the agreed date, because of the loss or destruction of the Apartment or because of the

19. INSURANCE: RESIDENT acknowledges that OWNER’S insurance does not cover personal property damage caused by fire, theft, rain, war, acts of God, acts of others, and/or any
other causes, nor shall OWNER be held liable for such losses. RESIDENT HEREBY AGREES TO OBTAIN HIS OWN INSURANCE POLICY TO COVER ANY PERSONAL LOSSES.
This does not waive OWNER’S duty to prevent personal injury or property damage where that duty is imposed by law, however, RESIDENT’S failure to maintain said policy shall be a
complete waiver of RESIDENT’S rights to seek damages against OWNER for above stated losses.
20. RIGHT OF ENTRY AND INSPECTION: OWNER or OWNER’S Agent by themselves or with others, may enter, inspect and/or repair the premises at any time in case of emergency
or suspected abandonment. OWNER shall give 24 hours advance notice and may enter for the purpose of showing the premises during normal business hours to prospective renters,
buyers, lenders, for smoke alarm inspections, and/or for normal inspection and repairs. OWNER is permitted to make all alterations, repairs and maintenance that in OWNER’S
judgment is necessary to perform. In addition, OWNER has the right to enter pursuant to Civil Code Section 1954. If the work performed requires that RESIDENT temporarily vacate the
unit, then RESIDENT shall vacate for this temporary period upon being served a 7-day notice by OWNER. RESIDENT agrees that in such event RESIDENT will be solely compensated
by a corresponding reduction in the rent for those many days that RESIDENT was temporarily displaced. No other compensation shall be due to the RESIDENT. If the work to be
performed requires the cooperation of the RESIDENT to perform certain tasks, then RESIDENT shall perform those tasks upon receiving a 24-hour written notice. (EXAMPLE:
removing food items from cabinets so that the unit may be sprayed for pests.) Upon 24 hours notice, RESIDENT hereby agrees to lend OWNER the keys to the premises for the
purpose of having a duplicate made for OWNER’S use.
21. ASSIGNMENT: RESIDENT agrees not to transfer, assign or sublet the premises or any part thereof and hereby appoints and authorizes the OWNER as his agent and/or by
OWNER’S own authority to evict any person claiming possession by way of any alleged assignment or subletting.
22. PARTIAL INVALIDITY: Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as waiving any of RESIDENT’S or OWNER’S rights under the law. If any part of this Agreement
shall be in conflict with the law, that part shall be void to the extent that it is in conflict, but shall not invalidate this Agreement nor shall it affect the validity or enforceability of any other
provision of this Agreement.
23. NO WAIVER: OWNER’S acceptance of rent with knowledge of any default by RESIDENT or waiver by OWNER of any breach of any term or condition of this Agreement shall not
constitute a waiver of subsequent breaches. Failure to require compliance or to exercise any right shall not be construed as a waiver by OWNER of said term, condition, and/or right,
and shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.
24. ATTORNEY’S FEES: If any legal action or proceeding be brought by either party to this agreement, the prevailing party shall be reimbursed for all reasonable attorneys’ fees up to
but not more than $500 in addition to other damages awarded.
25. ABANDONMENT: California Civil Code Section 1951.2 shall govern Abandonment. If any rent has remained unpaid for 14 or more consecutive days and the OWNER has a
reasonable belief of abandonment of the premises, OWNER shall give 18 days written notice to RESIDENT at any place (including the rented premises) that OWNER has reason to
believe RESIDENT may receive said notice of OWNER’S intention to declare the premises abandoned. RESIDENT’S failure to respond to said notice as required by law shall allow
OWNER to reclaim the premises.
26. The undersigned RESIDENTS are jointly and severally responsible and liable for all obligations under this agreement and shall indemnify OWNER for liability caused by the actions
(omission or commission) of RESIDENTS, their guests and invitees.
27. Pursuant to Section 1785.26 of the California Civil Code, as required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit history may be
submitted to a credit reporting agency, if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligation. RESIDENT expressly authorizes OWNER/AGENT (including a collection agency) to obtain
Resident’s consumer credit report, which OWNER/AGENT may use if attempting to collect past due rent payments, late fees, or other charges from Resident, both during the term of
the Agreement and thereafter.
28. Lead Warning Statement: Housing built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint. Lead from paint, paint chips and dust pose health hazards if not managed properly. Lead
exposure is especially harmful to young children and pregnant women. Before renting pre-1978 housing, OWNERS must disclose the presence of known lead-based paint hazards in
the dwelling. RESIDENTS must also receive a federally approved pamphlet on lead poisoning prevention.
