and Resident agree as follows:
1. Resident, any members of the resident's household, or a guest or other person under the resident's
control shall not engage in illegal activity, including drug-related illegal activity, on or near the said
premises. "Drug-related illegal activity" means the illegal manufacture, sale, distribution, purchase, use,

control shall not engage in any act intended to facilitate illegal activity, including drug-related illegal
activity, on or near the said premises.
3. Resident or members of the household will not permit the dwelling to be used for, or to facilitate,
illegal activity, including drug-related illegal activity, regardless of whether the individual engaging in
such activity is a member of the household.
4. Resident or members of the household will not engage in the manufacture, sale, or distribution of
illegal drugs at any locations, whether on or near the dwelling unit premises or otherwise.
5. Resident, any member of the resident's household, or a guest or other person under the resident's

unlawful discharge of firearms, prostitution, criminal street gang activity, intimidation, or any other
breach of the rental agreement that otherwise jeopardizes the health, safety, or welfare of the landlord,
his agents, or tenants.
6. VIOLATION OF THE ABOVE PROVISIONS SHALL BE A MATERIAL VIOLATION OF THE LEASE AND GOOD
CAUSE FOR TERMINATION OF TENANCY. A single violation of any of the provisions of this added
addendum shall be deemed a serious violation and material non-compliance with the lease.
It is understood and agreed that a single violation shall be good cause for termination of the lease.
Unless otherwise provided by law, proof of violation shall not require criminal conviction but shall be by
the preponderance of the evidence.
7. In case of conflict between the provisions of this addendum and any other provisions of the lease, the
provisions of the addendum shall govern.
