or destroyed by fire or by any other cause. Tenant will immediately notify Landlord, maintenance or emergency contact (See Para-
graph 3) of any condition in the Property that could severely damage or destroy the Property.
(B) If Tenant, their family or guests cause damage by fire or by other means, this Lease will remain in effect and Tenant will continue
to pay rent, even if Tenant cannot occupy the Property.
(C) If the Property is severely damaged or destroyed for any reason that is not the fault of Tenant:
1. Tenant may continue to live on the livable part of the Property and pay a reduced rent as agreed to by Tenant and Landlord until
the damage is repaired, OR
2. If the law does not allow Tenant to live on the Property, this Lease is ended.
20. INSURANCE AND RELEASE
(A) Tenant understands that Landlord’s insurance does not cover Tenant, Tenant’s personal property, or Tenant’s guests. Tenant is advised to
obtain personal property and liability insurance to protect Tenant, Tenant’s personal property, and Tenant’s guests who may be injured
while on the Property.
IF CHECKED, Tenant must have insurance policies providing at least $_______________________ personal property insurance
and $ _______________________ liability insurance to protect Tenant, Tenant’s personal property and Tenant’s guests who may
be injured while on the Property. Tenant must maintain this insurance through the entire Term and any Renewal Term. Tenant
will provide proof of insurance upon request. Tenant will notify Landlord within 10 days of changes to or cancellation of these
policies.

fees associated with that loss, if awarded by a court.
21. HOLDOVER TENANTS
If Tenant occupies the Property after the Ending Date or end of any Renewal Term, Tenant will be considered a holdover tenant and will
be causing Landlord financial harm (“damages”). These damages will be equal to the monthly Rent plus 10 %, prorated on a daily
basis, plus any additional financial costs, including but not limited to eviction costs and reasonable attorney’s fees that may be awarded
by a court, incurred as a result of the tenant holding over. These damages are separate from and in addition to Landlord’s right to seek
reimbursement for any physical destruction to the Property caused by Tenant, Tenant’s family, or Tenant’s guests.

almost all of Tenant’s personal property;
3. An eviction order or order for possession has been entered in favor of Landlord;
4. Tenant has vacated the Property, removed almost all of Tenant’s personal property and provided Landlord with written notice of
a forwarding address; OR
5. Tenant has vacated the Property without showing an intent to return, Rent is more than 15 days past due and Landlord has posted
notice regarding Tenant’s rights to Tenant’s personal property.

have ten days from the date the notice was postmarked to:
1. Retrieve Tenant’s personal property, OR

2. Filing a lawsuit against Tenant for Rent, damages and Additional Rent, and for Rent and Additional Rent for the rest of the Term

3. Keeping Tenant’s Security Deposit to be applied against unpaid Rent or damages, or both.
4. Tenant paying for Landlord’s reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, if awarded by a court.
