17. MILITARY CLAUSE: If the Tenant is a member of the Armed Forces of the United States, stationed in the

area, Tenant may, upon presentation of a copy of said orders of
transfer to the Landlord, along with thirty (30) days written notice of intent to vacate and payment of all rent to the
expiration date of such written notice, and any miscellaneous charges in arrears, terminate this Rental Agreement.
Normal enlistment termination or other type discharge from Armed Forces, unless due to conditions beyond the
service member's control, or acceptance of government quarters is not a permanent change of station and is not
justification for lease termination. Withholding knowledge of pending transfer or discharge at time of entry into this
Rental Agreement voids any consideration or protection offered by this section.
18.
DEFINITION OF “THIRTY (30) DAY NOTICE”: Any written notice given by either party to the other party in order to
meet a thirty (30) day notice requirement
will be deemed given, and the thirty (30) days deemed to commence on the
first day of the calendar month following the date of receipt of said notice. Any termination permitted by other
sections contingent upon a thirty (30) day notice will then be effective on the last day of the calendar month following
receipt of said notice. If expiration date of lease is not on the last day of the calendar month, then thirty (30) days
notice is required to conform to the expiration dates.

casualty to the extent that normal use
and occupancy of the dwelling unit is substantially impaired, the Tenant may
immediately vacate the premises and notify the Landlord in writing within seven days thereafter of Tenant's intention
to terminate the rental agreement, in which case the rental agreement terminates as of the date of vacating; or if
continued occupancy is lawful, vacate any part of the dwelling unit rendered unusable by the fire or casualty, in
which case the Tenant's liability for rent is reduced in proportion to the diminution in the fair-market rental value of the
dwelling unit. If the rental agreement is terminated, the Landlord shall return the security deposit and all prepaid rent.
Accounting for rent in the event of termination or apportionment must be made as of the date of the fire or casualty.
20. CONDEMNATION: Tenant hereby waives any injury, loss or damage,
or claim therefore against Landlord resulting
from any exercise of a power of eminent domain of all or any part of the rented premises or surrounding grounds of
which they are a part. All awards of the condemning authorit
y for the taking of land, parking areas, or buildings shall
belong exclusively to the Landlord. In the event substantially all of the rented premises shall be taken, this Rental
Agreement shall terminate as of the date the right to possession vested in the condemning authority and rent shall
be apportioned as of that date. In the event any part of the property and/or building or buildings of which the rented
premises are a part (whether or not the rented premises shall be affected) shall be taken as a result of the exercise
of a power of eminent domain, and the remainder shall not, in the opinion of the Landlord, constitute an economically
feasible operating unit, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant given within sixty (60) days after the date of taking,
terminate this Rental Agreement as of a date set out in the notice not earlier than thirty (30) days after the date of the
notice; rent shall be apportioned as of termination date.
21.
ABSENCE, NON-USE AND ABANDONMENT: The unexplained absence of a Tenant
from a dwelling unit for a
period of 15 days after default in the payment of rent must be construed as abandonment of the dwelling unit. If the
Tenant abandons the dwelling unit for a term beginning before the expiration
of the rental agreement, it terminates
as of the date of the
new tenancy, subject to the other Landlord's remedies. If the Landlord fails to use reasonable
efforts to rent the dwelling unit at a fair rental or if the Landlord accepts the abandonment as a surrender, the rental
agreement is considered to be terminated by the Landlord as of the date the Landlord has notice of the
abandonment. When a dwelling unit has been abandoned or the rental agreement has come to an end and the
Tenant has removed a substantial portion of personal property or voluntarily and permanently terminated the utilities
and has left personal property in the dwelling unit or on the premises with a fair-market value of $500 or less, the
Landlord may enter the dwelling unit, using forcible entry if required, and dispose of the property.
22. SECURITY
DEPOSIT: Tenant agrees to deposit with Landlord a security deposit of $
to be held
as security for the full and faithful performance by the Tenant of all terms and conditions herein, it being understood
and agreed to that no part of this deposit is to be applied to any rent which may become due under this rental
agreement. Upon termination of the tenancy, property or money held by the Landlord as security may be applied to
the payment of accrued rent and the amount of loss of rents or damages which the Landlord has suffered by reason
of the Tenant's noncompliance with the South Carolina Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. Any deduction from
the security deposit must be itemized by the Landlord in a written notice of the Tenant together with the amount due,
if any, within 30 days after termination of the tenancy and delivery of possession and demand by the Tenant,
whichever is later. The Tenant shall provide the Landlord in writing with a forwarding address or new address to
