before the 5th day of the month, Tenant will pay a
late charge in the sum of $ ________ on the 6th day
of the month, and, in addition, a late charge of

receipt thereof.

such Tenants are jointly, severally and individually
bound by, and liable under, the terms and conditions
of this Lease. A judgment entered against one
Tenant shall be no bar to an action against other

the act or omission of any of Tenant’s family or
invitees, licensees, and/or guests, violates any of the
terms or conditions of this Lease or any other

attachment, Tenant shall be considered in breach of
this Lease (breach by one tenant shall be considered
breach by all tenants where Tenant is more than one
person).
In case of such breach, Landlord may, at Landlord’s
option, terminate this Lease by written notice of
termination to Tenant, or by any other means
allowed by applicable law. Tenant expressly agrees
to vacate the premises and deliver same unto
Landlord on or before the expiration of the period of
notice, regardless of any dispute that may exist
regarding Tenant’s breach.
Tenant expressly agrees and understands that upon
Landlord’s termination of this Lease, the entire
remaining balance of unpaid rent for the remaining
term of this Lease shall ACCELERATE , whereby
the entire sum shall become immediately due,
payable, and collectable. Landlord may hold the
portion of Tenant’s security deposit remaining after
reasonable cleaning and repairs as a partial offset to
satisfaction of the accelerated rent. Any promotional
discount granted Tenant at the inception of this
Lease shall be refunded by Tenant to Landlord. 7. DELIVERY OF NOTICES: Any giving of
notice under this Lease or applicable law shall be
made by Tenant in writing and delivered to the

writing and shall be deemed sufficiently served upon
Tenant if when deposited in the mail addressed to
Tenant’s last known post office address, or hand
delivered, or placed in Tenant’s mailbox. If Tenant
is more than one person, then notice to one shall be
sufficient as notice to all.
8. PROMOTIONAL DISCOUNTS: As special
consideration for entering this Lease, Landlord has
granted Tenant a certain one-time discount to rent in
the amount of $ ____________ . In the event
Landlord terminates this Lease as a result of
Tenant’s breach thereof, or Tenant utilizes the early

notwithstanding, at least thirty (30) days prior to the
normal expiration of the term of this Lease as noted
under the heading TERM OF LEASE above, Tenant
shall give written notice to Landlord of Tenant’s
intention to surrender the residence at the expiration

Apartment Lease Agreement, Page 2
given, the Tenant shall become a month-to-month
tenant as defined by applicable law, and all
provisions of this Lease will remain in full force and
effect.
If Tenant becomes a month-to-month tenant in the
manner described above, Tenant must give a thirty
(30) day written notice to the Landlord of Tenant’s
intention to surrender the residence. At any time
during a month-to-month tenancy Landlord may
terminate the month-to-month Lease by serving
Tenant with a thirty (30) day written notice of
termination, or by any other means allowed by
applicable law, including, but not limited to, a
shorter period of notice. Upon termination, Tenant
shall vacate the premises and deliver same unto
Landlord on or before the expiration of the period of
notice.
11. EARLY TERMINATION BY TENANT: If
Tenant desires to terminate this lease before its
natural expiration at the close of the lease term,

usual amount of $ _________ as an early termination
fee, and pre-paid refund of any applicable
promotional discount in the amount of $ _________ .

17. TENANT INSURANCE: Landlord shall not

invitees, licensees, and/or guests for damages not
proximately caused by Landlord or Landlord’s
agents. Landlord will not compensate Tenant or
anyone else for damages proximately caused by any
other source whatsoever, or by Acts of God, and
Tenant is therefore strongly encouraged to
independently purchase insurance to protect Tenant,
Tenant’s family, Tenant’s invitees, licensees, and/or
guests, and all personal property on the leased
premises and any common areas from any and all
damages.
18. CONDITION OF LEASED PREMISES:
Tenant hereby acknowledges that Tenant has
examined the leased premises prior to the signing of
this Lease, or knowingly waived said examination.
Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has not relied on
any representations made by Landlord or Landlord’s
agents regarding the condition of the leased premises
and that Tenant takes premises in its AS-IS condition
with no express or implied warranties or
representations beyond those contained herein or
required by applicable law. Tenant agrees not to
damage the premises through any act or omission,
and to be responsible for any damages sustained
through the acts or omissions of Tenant, Tenant’s
family or Tenant’s invitees, licensees, and/or guests.
If such damages are incurred, Tenant is required to
pay for any resulting repairs at the same time and in
addition to the next month’s rent payment, with
consequences for non-payment identical to those for
non-payment of rent described herein. At the expiration or termination of the Lease, Tenant shall
return the leased premises in as good condition as
when taken by Tenant at the commencement of the
lease, with only normal wear-and-tear accepted.
Tenant shall have the right to remove from the
premises Tenant’s fixtures placed thereon by Tenant
at his expense, provided, however, that Tenant in
effecting removal, shall restore the leased premises
to as good, safe, sound, orderly and slightly
condition as before the addition of Tenant’s fixture.
Failing this, Tenant shall be obligated to pay for
repairs as stated above.
19. ALTERATIONS: Tenant shall make no
alterations, decorations, additions, or improvements
to the leased premises without first obtaining the
express written consent of Landlord. Any of the
above-described work shall become part of the
dwelling. If carried out by independent contractors,
said contractors must be approved by Landlord.
Tenant shall not contract for work to be done without
first placing monies sufficient to satisfy contract
price in escrow account approved by Landlord. All
work shall be done at such times and in such manner
as Landlord may designate. If a construction or
mechanic’s lien is placed on the leased premises as a
result of the work, such shall be satisfied by Tenant
within ten (10) days thereafter at Tenant’s sole
expense. Tenant shall be considered in breach of this
Lease upon failure to satisfy said lien.
20. NO ILLEGAL USE: Tenant shall not
perpetrate, allow or suffer any acts or omissions
contrary to law or ordinance to be carried on upon
the leased premises or in any common area. Upon
obtaining actual knowledge of any illegal acts or
omissions upon the leased premises, Tenant agrees to
immediately inform Landlord and the appropriate
authorities. Tenant shall bear responsibility for any
and all illegal acts or omissions upon the leased
premises and shall be considered in breach of this
Lease upon conviction of Tenant or any of Tenant’s
family or invitees, licensees, and/or guests for any
illegal act or omission upon the leased premises-
whether known or unknown to Tenant.
21. NOTICE OF INJURIES: In the even of any
significant injury or damage to Tenant, Tenant’s
family, or Tenant’s invitees, licensees, and/or guests,
or any personal property, suffered in the leased
premises or in any common area, written notice of
same shall be provided by Tenant to Landlord at the
address designated for delivery of notices (identical
to address for payment of rent) as soon as possible
but not later than five (5) days of said injury or
Apartment Lease Agreement, Page 4
damage. Failure to provide such notice shall
constitute a breach of this Lease.
22. LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO MORTGAGE:
Tenant agrees to accept the premises subject to and
subordinate to any existing or future mortgage or
other lien, and Landlord reserves the right to subject
premises to same. Tenant agrees to and hereby
irrevocably grants Landlord power of attorney for
Tenant for the sole purpose of executing and
delivering in the name of the Tenant any
document(s) related to the Landlord’s right to subject
the premises to a mortgage or other lien.
23. DELAY IN REPAIRS: Tenant agrees that if
any repairs to be made by Landlord are delayed by
reasons beyond Landlords control, there shall be no
effect on the obligations of Tenant under this Lease.
24. ABANDONMENT: Abandonment shall be
defined as the absence of the Tenant from the leased
premises for a period of seven (7) or more
consecutive days while rent or any owing monies
remain unpaid- whereupon Tenant will be considered
in breach of this Lease. This definition is
subordinate to, and shall not in any way impair, the
rights and remedies of Landlord under this Lease or
applicable law, except that in case of abandonment,
Landlord or Landlord’s agents may immediately or
any time thereafter enter and re-take the leased
premises as provided by applicable law, and
terminate this Lease without notice to Tenant.
25. NOTICE OF ABSENCE FROM PREMISES:
If Tenant is to be absent from the leased premises for
seven (7) or more consecutive days, written notice of
such should be served upon Landlord. If such
absences are to be customary or frequent, the
expected frequency and duration of absence should
be summarily noted here:
Tenant expressly agrees and understands that
absence from the premises, with or without notice, in
no way obviates the requirement to pay rent and
other monies as stated herein, or the consequences of
failure to timely pay same.
26. POSSESSION OF PREMISES: Tenant shall
not be entitled to possession of the premises
designated for lease until the security deposit and
first month’s rent (or prorated portion thereof), less
any applicable promotional discount, is paid in full
and the premises designated for lease is vacated by
the prior tenant. 27. DELAY OF POSSESSION: Tenant expressly
agrees that if by reason of the premises being
unready for occupancy, or by reason of the previous
tenant or occupant of the dwelling holding over, or
as a result of any other cause whatsoever, Tenant is
unable to enter and occupy the premises, Landlord
shall not be liable to Tenant in damages, but shall
abate the rent for the period in which the Tenant is
unable to occupy the premises.
28. MATERIALITY OF APPLICATION TO
RENT: All representations made by Tenant(s) on
the Application to Rent (or like-titled document) are
material to the grant of this Lease, and the Lease is
granted only on condition of the truthfulness and
accuracy of said representations. If a failure to
disclose or lack of truthfulness is discovered on said
Application, Landlord may deem Tenant to be in
breach of this Lease.
29. MODIFICATION OF THIS LEASE: Any
modification of this lease shall not be binding upon
Landlord unless in writing and signed by Landlord or
Landlord’s authorized agent. No oral representation
shall be effective to modify this Lease. If, as per the
terms of this paragraph, any provision of this lease is
newly added, modified, or stricken out, the
remainder of this Lease shall remain in full force and
effect.
30. REMEDIES NOT EXCLUSIVE: The
remedies and rights contained in and conveyed by
this Lease are cumulative, and are not exclusive of
other rights, remedies and benefits allowed by
applicable law.
31. SEVERABILITY: If any provision herein, or
any portion thereof, is rendered invalid by operation
of law, judgment, or court order, the remaining
provisions and/or portions of provisions shall remain
valid and enforceable and shall be construed to so
remain.
32. NO WAIVER: The failure of Landlord to
insist upon the strict performance of the terms,
covenants, and agreements herein shall not be
construed as a waiver or relinquishment of
Landlord's right thereafter to enforce any such term,
covenant, or condition but the same shall continue in
full force and effect. No act or omission of Landlord
shall be considered a waiver of any of the terms or
conditions of this Lease, nor excuse any conduct
contrary to the terms and conditions of this Lease,
nor be considered to create a pattern of conduct
between the Landlord and Tenant upon which
Apartment Lease Agreement, Page 5
Tenant may rely upon if contrary to the terms and
conditions of this Lease.
33. ATTORNEY FEES: In the event that
Landlord employees an attorney to collect any rents
or other charges due hereunder by Tenant or to
enforce any of Tenant's covenants herein or to
protect the interest of the Landlord hereunder,
Tenant agrees to pay a reasonable attorney's fee and
all expenses and costs incurred thereby.
34. HEIRS AND ASSIGNS: It is agreed and
understood that all covenants of this lease shall
succeed to and be binding upon the respective heirs,
executors, administrators, successors and, except as
provided herein, assigns of the parties hereto, but
nothing contained herein shall be construed so as to
allow the Tenant to transfer or assign this lease in
violation of any term hereof.
35. DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES: In the
event the leased premises shall be destroyed or
rendered totally untenable by fire, windstorm, or any
other cause beyond the control of Landlord, then this
Lease shall cease and terminate as of the date of such
destruction, and the rent shall then be accounted for
between Landlord and Tenant up to the time of such
damage or destruction of said premises is the same
as being prorated as of that date. In the event the
leased premises are damaged by fire, windstorm or
other cause beyond the control of Landlord so as to
render the same partially untenable, but repairable
within a reasonable time, then this lease shall remain
in force and effect and the Landlord shall, within
said reasonable time, restore said premises to
substantially the condition the same were in prior to
said damage, and there shall be an abatement in rent
in proportion to the relationship the damaged portion
of the leased premises bears to the whole of said
premises.
36. EMINENT DOMAIN: In the event that the
leased premises shall be taken by eminent domain,
the rent shall be prorated to the date of taking and
this Lease shall terminate on that date.
37. LANDLORD ENTRY AND LIEN: In
addition to the rights provided by applicable law,
Landlord shall have the right to enter the leased
premises at all reasonable times for the purpose of
inspecting the same and/or showing the same to prospective tenants or purchasers, and to make such
reasonable repairs and alterations as may be deemed
necessary by Landlord for the preservation of the
leased premised or the building and to remove any
alterations, additions, fixtures, and any other objects
which may be affixed or erected in violation of the
terms of this Lease. Furthermore, Landlord retains a
Landlord’s Lien on all personal property placed upon
the premises to secure the payment of rent and any
damages to the leases premises.
38. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS:
39. LEAD-BASED PAINT DISCLOSURE:
HOUSING BUILT BEFORE 1978 MAY

LEAD-BASED PAINT HAZARDS IN THE
DWELLING. LEASES MUST ALSO RECEIVE
A FEDERALLY APPROVED PAMPHLET ON

The leased premises were constructed in 1978 or
later.
The leased premises were constructed prior to
1978. Landlord has conformed with all federal
requirements regarding lead-based paint disclosure

IMPORTANT!!!
NOTES CONCERNING LEAD-PAINT DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS
Introduction: If the rental dwelling unit was constructed PRIOR TO 1978, federal law REQUIRES a Lead-Based Paint
Disclosure Form to be attached to the lease, completed and signed by the lessor/landlord and lessee/tenant. If the rental
dwelling was constructed in 1978 or later, this form is not required. If in doubt about the timing of construction, use the
disclosure form. Whenever the form is used, the landlord must also give the tenant the EPA lead-based paint pamphlet
discussed below. Landlords must retain a copy of the signed disclosure form for no less than three years from the date the
lease begins.
Background: To protect families from exposure to lead from paint, dust, and soil, Congress passed the Residential Lead-
Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act of 1992. HUD and EPA require the disclosure of known information on lead-based
paint and related hazards before the lease of most housing built before 1978.
Requirements: Before the lease is signed and agreed to, landlords must fully comply with lead-paint disclosure law.
Compliance is accomplished by:
(1) Fully completing and delivering to the tenants, as an attachment to the lease, the LEAD-BASED PAINT
DISCLOSURE form (the lessees/renters also initial and sign this form), and
(2) Giving the tenants the EPA pamphlet entitled "Protect Your Family From Lead In Your Home." (See the download
link for the pamphlet, below.)
Purchase the Disclosure Form: If you need to purchase a Lead-Based Paint Disclosure Form, you can easily do so using
USLF. http://www.uslegalforms.com/lead-paint-disclosure-forms.htm Click this link (or copy it into the address window

and controlling lead-based paint hazards entitled "Protect Your Family From Lead In Your Home." You may obtain and
print this pamphlet free by clicking the following download link (or copying the link into the address window of your
internet browser):
