tenancy. To terminate tenancy the Landlord or Tenant must give the other party a written 30 day notice of

Lease non-renewal. The Tenant may only terminate their Lease on the last day of any month and the

Landlord must receive a written notification of non-renewal at least 30 days prior to the last day of that

month. If the Tenant plans to leave on or after the first of any month, they are responsible for that month’s

full rent. If the Tenant does not provide the Landlord with a written 30 day notice, they shall forfeit their

full deposit amount.

LEASE PAYMENTS: Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as rent for the Premises the amount of $_______

each month in advance on the 1

day of each month at ________________________ or at any other

address designated by Landlord. If the Lease Term does not start on the 1

day of the month or end on the

last day of a month, the first and last month’s rent will be prorated accordingly.

LATE CHARGES: Rent is due on the 1

of each month. If any or all of the rent is not received by the 5

of the month, $10 per day will be charged as late fees until full rental payment is received. If rent is not

received by the 10

of the month, Tenant will be considered in breach of the Lease Agreement and eviction

proceedings will be initiated.

INSUFFICIENT FUNDS: Tenant agrees to pay the charge of $25 for each check given by Tenant to

Landlord that is returned to Landlord for lack of sufficient funds.

SECURITY DEPOSIT: At the signing of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord, in trust, a

security deposit of $_________ as security for the performance by Tenant of the terms under this Lease and

for any damages caused by Tenant, Tenant’s family, agents and visitors to the Premises during the term of

this Lease. Landlord may use part or all of the security deposit to repair any damage to the Premises

caused by Tenant, Tenant’s family, agents and visitors to the Premises. However, Landlord is not just

limited to the security deposit amount and Tenant remains liable for any balance. Tenant shall not apply or

deduct any portion of any security deposit from the last or any month’s rent. Tenant shall not use or apply

any such security deposit at any time in lieu of payment of rent. If Tenant breaches any terms or conditions

of this Lease, Tenant shall forfeit any deposit, as permitted by law.

DEFAULTS: If Tenant fails to perform or fulfill any obligation under this Lease, Tenant shall be in default

of this Lease. Subject to any statute ordinance or law to the contrary, Tenant shall have seven (7) days from

Landlord may at Landlord’s option: a) cure such default and the cost of such action may be added to

Tenant’s financial obligations under this Lease; or b) declare Tenant in default of the Lease. In the event of

default, Landlord may also, as permitted by law, re-enter the Premises and re-take possession of the

Premises. Landlord may, at its option, hold Tenant liable for any difference between the rent that would

have been payable under this Lease during the balance of the unexpired term, if this Lease had continued in

force and any rent paid by any successive Tenant if the Premises are re-let. In the event Landlord is unable

to re-let the Premises during any remaining term of this Lease, after default by Tenant, Landlord may at its

option hold Tenant liable for the balance of the unpaid rent under this Lease if this Lease had continued in

force. The failure of Tenants or their guests or invitees to comply with any term of this Agreement is

ground for termination of the tenancy, with appropriate notice to Tenants and procedures as required by

law.
