FLOOD DISCLOSURE NOTICE
In accordance with Texas law, we are providing the following flood disclosure:
• We O are or O are not aware that the unit you are renting is located in a 100-year floodplain. If
neither box is checked, you should assume the unit is in a 100-year floodplain. Even if the unit is not
in a 100-year floodplain, the unit may still be susceptible to flooding. The Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) maintains a flood map on its Internet website that is searchable by
address, at no cost, to determine if a unit is located in a flood hazard area. Most renter's insurance
policies do not cover damages or loss incurred in a flood. You should seek insurance coverage that
would cover losses caused by a flood.
• We O are or O are not aware that the unit you are renting has flooded (per the statutory definition
below) at least once within the last five years.
As defined in Texas Property Code 92.0135(a)(2), "flooding" means "a general or temporary
condition of a partial or complete inundation of a dwelling caused by: (A) the overflow of inland or
tidal waters; (8) the unusual and rapid accumulation of runoff or surface waters from any established
water source such as a river, stream, or drainage ditch; or (C) excessive rainfall."

authorized bylaw. We may, at our option, require at any
time that you pay Rent and other sums due in one single
payment by any method we specify.
Application of Payments. Payment of each sum due is an
independent covenant, which means payments are due
regardless of our performance. When we receive money,
other than water and wastewater payments subject to
government regulation, we may apply it at our option and
without notice first to any of your unpaid obligations, then
to accrued rent. We may do so regardless of notations on
checks or money orders and regardless ofwhen the
obligations arose. All sums other than Rent and late fees are
due upon our demand. After the due date, we do not have
to accept any payments.

operated lighting (no flames). You must not allow any

out date. Ifyou delay getting service turned on in your name
by the Lease's start date or cause it to be transferred back into
our name before you surrender or abandon the apartment,
you'll be liable forthe charge listed above (not to exceed $50
per billing period), plus the actual or estimated cost of the
utilities used while the utility should have been billed to you.

your retail electric provider, you must give us written notice.
You must pay all applicable provider fees, including any fees
to change service back into our name after you move out.

amendment signed by you and us. At or after the end of the
initial Lease term, Rent increases will become effective with at
least 5 days plus the number of days' advance notice contained
in Box F on page 1 in writing from us to you. Your new Lease,
which may include increased Rent or Lease changes, will begin

any insurance subrogation rights. Even if not required, we urge you
to obtain your own insurance for losses due to theft, fire, flood, water,
pipe leaks and similar occurrences. Most renter's insurance policies
don't cover losses due to a flood.
Reletting and Early Lease Termination. This Lease may not be ter-
minated early except as provided in this Lease.

(B) move out without paying Rent in full for the entire Lease
term or renewal period; (C) move out at our demand because

charge is not a termination, cancellation or buyout fee and
does not release you from your obligations under this Lease,
including liability for future or past -due Rent, charges for
damages or other sums due.
The reletting charge is a liquidated amount covering only
part of our damages —for our time, effort, and expense in
finding and processing a replacement resident. These
damages are uncertain and hard to ascertain —particularly
those relating to inconvenience, paperwork, advertising,
showing apartments, utilities for showing, checking pros-
pects, overhead, marketing costs, and locator -service fees.
You agree that the reletting charge is a reasonable estimate
of our damages and that the charge is due whether or not our
reletting attempts succeed.

termination rights referred to in 7.3 or8.1 below, ifthis provision
applies under Lease Details, you may terminate the Lease

notice of early termination, pay the early termination fee and
specify the date by which you'll move out; (b) you are not in

resident's holding over. This Lease will remain in force subject to
(1) abatement of Rent on a daily basis during delay, and (2) your right
to terminate the Lease in writing as set forth below. Rent abatement
and Lease termination do not apply ifthe delay is for cleaning or re-
pairs that don't prevent you from moving into the apartment.

occupancy when or after the Lease begins, you may termi-
nate the Lease within 3 days after you receive written notice.
If we give you written notice before the date the Lease begins

expected and that the apartment will be ready for you to
occupy on a specific date, you may terminate the Lease within
7 days after receiving written notice.

to send a request —for example, for repairs, installations,
services, ownership disclosure, orsecurity-related matters —
it must be written and delivered to our designated
representative in accordance with our Community Policies
(except for fair -housing accommodation or modification
requests or situations involving imminent danger or threats to
health or safety, such as fire, smoke, gas, explosion, or crime in
progress). Our written notes regarding your oral request do
not constitute a written request from you. Our complying
with or responding to any oral request doesn't waive the strict
requirement for written notices under this Lease. A request
for maintenance or repair by anyone residing in your
apartment constitutes a request from all residents. The time,
manner, method and means of performing maintenance
and repairs, including whetheror which vendors to use,
are within our sole discretion.
15.2. Your Requirement to Notify. You must promptly notify us in
writing of air conditioning or heating problems, water leaks or

broken or missing locks or latches, or any other condition that

we instruct otherwise, you are required to keep the
apartment cooled or heated according to our Community
Policies. Air conditioning problems are normally not
emergencies.
15.3. Utilities. We may change or install utility lines or
equipment serving the apartment if the work is done
reasonably without substantially increasing your
utility costs. We may turn off equipment and interrupt
utilities as needed to perform work or to avoid
property damage or other emergencies. If utilities
malfunction or are damaged by fire, water, or similar
cause, you must notify our representative immediately.
15.4. Your Remedies. We'll act with customary diligence to
make repairs and reconnections within a reasonable
time, taking into consideration when casualty -insurance
proceeds are received. Unless required by statute after
a casualty loss, or during equipment repair, your Rent
will not abate in whole or in part. "Reasonable time'
accounts for the severity and nature of the problem and
the reasonable availability of materials, labor, and
utilities. If we fail to timely repair condition that
materially affects the physical health or safety ofan
ordinary resident as required by the Texas Property Code,
you may be entitled to exercise remedies under § 92.056
and § 92.0561 of the Texas Property Code. If you follow
the procedures under those sections, the following
remedies, among others, may be available to you:
(1) termination of the Lease and an appropriate refund
under 92.056(f); (2) have the condition repaired or
remedied according to § 92.0561; (3) deduct from the Rent
the cost of the repair or remedy according to § 92.0561,
and 4) judicial remedies according to § 92.0563.
16. Our Right to Terminate for Apartment Community Damage or
Closure. If, in our sole judgment, damages to the unit or building are
significant or performance of needed repairs poses a danger to you,
we may terminate this Lease and your right to possession by giving
you at least 7 days' written notice. If termination occurs, you agree
we'll refund only prorated rent and all deposits, minus lawful deduc-
tions. We may remove your personal property if, in our sole judg-
ment, it causes a health or safety hazard or impedes our ability to
make repairs.
16.1. Property Closure. We also have the right to terminate
this Lease and your right to possession by giving you at
least 30 days' written notice oftermination if we are
demolishing your apartment or closing it and it will no

let your apartment. You agree that you won't rent, offer to rent or
license all or any part of your apartment to anyone else unless other-
wise agreed to in advance by us in writing. You agree that you won't
accept anything of value from anyone else for the use of any part of
your apartment. You agree not to list any part of your apartment on
any lodging or short-term rental website or with any person or ser-
vice that advertises dwellings for rent.

you reauest (unless we failed to rekev after the previous resi-
dent moved out): and (B) repairs or replacements because of
misuse or damage by you or vour family, vour occupants, or vour
guests. You must pay immediately after the work is done unless state
law authorizes advance payment. You must also pay in advance for
any additional or changed security devices you request.

some exceptions, that we provide at no cost to you when occupancy

hole or window) on each exterior door, (C) a pin lock on each sliding
door, (D) either a door -handle latch or a security bar on each sliding

and (F) either a keyed doorknob lock or a keyed deadbolt lock on
one entry door. Keyed locks will be rekeyed after the prior resident
moves out. The rekeying will be done either before you move in or
within 7 days after you move in, as required by law. If we fail to in-
stall or rekey security devices as required by law, you have the right
to do so and deduct the reasonable cost from your next Rent pay-
ment under Texas Property Code sec. 92.165(1). We may deactivate

law, a smoke alarm capable of alerting a person with a
hearing impairment.
You must pay for and replace batteries as needed,
unless the law provides otherwise. We may replace dead
or missing batteries at your expense, without prior notice
to you. Neither you nor your guests or occupants may
disable alarms or detectors. If you damage or disable the
smoke alarm or remove a battery without replacing it
with a working battery, you may be liable to us under
Texas Property Code sec. 92.2611 for $100 plus one
month's Rent, actual damages, and attorney's fees.
18.2. Duty to Report. You must immediately report to us any
missing, malfunctioning or defective security devices,

security needs arise.

ognize that we are not required to provide any private security ser-
vices and that no security devices or measures on the property are
fail-safe. You further acknowledge that, even if an alarm or gate ame-
nities are provided, they are mechanical devices that can malfunc-
tion. Any charges resulting from the use of an intrusion alarm will be
charged to you, including, but not limited to, any false alarms with
police/fire/ambulance response or other required city charges.
20. Condition of the Premises and Alterations.

residents. Notices and requests from any resident constitute notice
from all residents. Only residents can give notice of Lease termination
and intent to move out under Par. 73. All notices and documents will
be in English and, at our option, in any other language that you read
orspeak.
21.1. Electronic Notice. Notice may be given electronically by
us to you if allowed by law. If allowed by law and in
accordance with our Community Policies, electronic
notice from you to us must be sent to the email address
and/or portal specified in Community Policies. Notice
may also be given by phone call or to a physical address
if allowed in our Community Policies.
You represent that you have provided your current email
address to us, and that you will notify us in the event your
email address changes.
22. Liability. Each resident is jointly and severally liable for all Lease
obligations. Ifyou or any guest or occupant violates the Lease or our
Community Policies, all residents are considered to have violated the
Lease.
22.1. Indemnification by You. You7ldefend, indemnifyandhold us
and ouremployees, agents, and managementcompany
harmless from all liability arising from your conduct or
requests to our representatives and from the conduct of or
requests by your invitees, occupants or guests.
23. Default by Resident.
23.1. Acts of Default. You'll be in default if: (A) you don't
timely pay Rent, including monthly recurring charges, or
other amounts you owe; (R) you or any guest or
occupant violates this Lease, our Community Policies,
or fire, safety, health, criminal or other laws, regardless of
whether or where arrest or conviction occurs; (C) you
give incorrect, incomplete, or false answers in a rental
application or in this Lease; or (D) you or any occupant is
charged, detained, convicted, or given deferred
adjudication or pretrial diversion for (1) an offense
involving actual or potential physical harm to a person, or
involving the manufacture or delivery of a controlled
substance, marijuana, or drug paraphernalia as defined
in the Texas Controlled Substances Act, or (2) any sex -
related crime, including a misdemeanor.
23.2. Eviction. lfyoudefault, including holding over, wemay
end your right of occupancy by giving you at least a 24-
hour written notice to vacate. Termination of your possession
rights doesn't release you from liability for future Rent or
other Lease obligations. Aker giving notice to vacate or
filinganevictionsuit we may still accept Rent or other
sums due, the filing or acceptance doesn't waive or
diminish our right of eviction or any other contractual or
statutory right. Accepting money at any time doesn't waive
our right to damages, to past or future Rent or other sums,
or to our continuing with eviction proceedings. In an eviction,
Rent is owed for the full rental period and will not be
prorated.
23.3. Acceleration. Unless we elect not to accelerate Rent, all
monthly Rent for the rest of the Lease term or renewal
period will be accelerated automatically without notice
or demand (before or after acceleration) and will be
immediately due if, without our written consent: (A) you
move out, remove property in preparing to move out,
or you or any occupant gives oral or written notice of
intent to move out before the Lease term or renewal
period ends; and (B) you haven't paid all Rent for the
entire Lease term or renewal period. Remaining Rent will
also be accelerated if you're judicially evicted or move
out when we demand because you've defaulted.
If you don't pay the first month's Rent when or before the Lease
begins, all future Rent for the Lease term will be automatically
accelerated without notice and become immediately due. We
also may end your right of occupancy and recover damages,
future Rent, attorney's fees, court costs, and other lawful charges.
23.4. Holdover. You and all occupants must vacate and surrender
the apartment by or before the date contained in: (1) your
move -out notice (2) our notice to vacate, (3) our notice of
non -renewal, or (4) a written agreement specifying a different
move -out date. If a holdover occurs, then you'll be liable to us
for all Rent for the full term ofthe previously signed lease of a
new resident who can't occupy because ofthe holdover, and
at our option, we may extend the Lease term and/or increase
the Rent by 25% by delivering written notice to you or your
apartment while you continue to hold over.
23.5. Other Remedies. We may report unpaid amounts to
credit agencies as allowed by law. If we or our debt
collector tries to collect any money you owe us, you
agree that we or the debt collector may contact you by
any legal means. If you default, you will pay us, in addition
to other sums due, any rental discounts or concessions
agreed to in writing that have been applied to your account.
We may recover attorney's fees in connection with enforcing
our rights under this Lease. All unpaid amounts you owe bear
interest at the rate provided by Texas Finance Code Section
304.003(c) from the due date. You must pay all collection -
agency fees if you fail to pay sums due within 10 days after
you are mailed a letter demanding payment and stating that
collection -agency fees will be added ifyou don't pay all sums
by that deadline. You are also liable for a charge (not to
exceed $150) to cover our time, cost and expense for any
eviction proceeding against you, plus our attorney's fees and
expenses, court costs, and filing fees actually paid.
24. Representatives'Authorityand Waivers. Our representatives (in-
cluding management personnel, employees, and agents) have no
authority to waive, amend, or terminate this Lease orany part ofit
unless in writing and signed, andno authority to make promises, rep-
resentations, oragreements that impose securityduties or other ob-
ligations on us or our representatives, unless in writing and signed.
No action or omission by us will be considered a waiver of our rights or of
any subsequent violation, default, or time or place of performance. Our
choice to enforce, not enforce or delay enforcement of written -no-
tice requirements, rental due dates, acceleration, liens, or any other
rights isn'ta waiver under any circumstances. Delay in demanding
sums you owe is not a waiver. Except when notice or demand is required
by law, you waive any notice and demand for performance from us if you
default. Nothing in this Lease constitutes a waiver of our remedies for a
breach under your prior lease that occurred before the Lease term begins.
Your Lease is subordinate to existing and future recorded mortgages, un-
less the owner's lender chooses otherwise.
All remedies are cumulative. Exercising one remedy won't constitute
an election or waiver of other remedies. All provisions regarding our
nonliability or nonduty apply to our employees, agents, and manage-
ment companies. No employee, agent, or management company is
personally liable for any of our contractual, statutory, or other obliga-
tions merely by virtue of acting on our behalf.
25. Move -Out Notice. Before moving out you must give our represen-
tative advance written move -out notice as stated in Par. 4, even if
the Lease has become a month -to -month lease. The move -out date
can't be changed unless we and you both agree in writing.
Your move -out notice must comply with each ofthe following:
(a) Unless we require more than 30 days' notice, ifyou give
notice on the first day ofthe month you intend to move
out, move out will be on the last day of that month.
(b) Your move -out notice must not terminate the Lease
before the end ofthe Lease term or renewal period.
(c) If we require you to give us more than 30 days' written
notice to move out before the end ofthe Lease term, we
will give you 1 written reminder not less than 5 days nor
more than 90 days before your deadline for giving us
your written move -out notice. If we fail to give a reminder
notice, 30 days' written notice to move out is required.
(d) You must get from us a written acknowledgment ofyour
notice.
26. Move -Out Procedures.
26.1. Cleaning. You must thoroughly clean the apartment, including
doors, windows, furniture, bathrooms, kitchen appliances,
patios, balconies, garages, carports, and storage rooms. You
must follow move -out cleaning instructions ifthey have been
provided. If you don't clean adequately, you'll be liable for
reasonable cleaning charges —including charges for cleaning
carpets, draperies, furniture, walls, etc. that are soiled beyond
normal wear (that is, wear or soiling that occurs without
negligence, carelessness, accident, or abuse).

26.2. Move -Out Inspection. We may, but are not obligated to,
provide a joint move -out inspection. Our representatives
have no authority to bind or limit us regarding deductions for
repairs, damages, or charges. Any statements or estimates by
us or our representative are subject to our correction, modi-
fication, or disapproval before final accounting or refunding.
27. Surrender and Abandonment. You have surrendered the apartment
when: (A) the move -out date has passed and no one is living in the
apartment in our reasonable judgment; or (B) apartment keys and ac-
cess devices listed in Par.2.1 have been turned in to us —whichever
happens first.
You have abandoned the apartment when all ofthe following have
occurred: (A) everyone appears to have moved out in our reasonable
judgment; (B) you've been in default for nonpayment of Rentfor 5

not connected in our name has been terminated or transferred; and

the main entry door stating that we consider the apartment aban-
doned. An apartment is also considered abandoned 10 days after the
death of a sole resident.
27.1. The Ending of Your Rights. Surrender, abandonment, or
judicial eviction ends your right of possession for all purposes
and gives us the immediate right to clean up, make repairs in,
and relet the apartment; determine any security -deposit
deductions; and remove or store property left in the apartment.
27.2. Removal and Storage of Property. We, or law officers, may —
but have no duty to —remove or store all property that in our
solejudgment belongs to you and remains in the apartment
or in common areas (including any vehicles you or any
occupant or guest owns or uses) after you're judicially evicted
or ifyou surrender or abandon the apartment.
We're not liable for casualty, loss, damage, or theft. You
must pay reasonable charges for our packing, removing and
storing any property.
Except for animals, we may throw away or give to a charitable
organization all personal propertythat is:
(1) left in the apartment after surrender or abandonment; or
(2) left outside more than hour after writ of possession is
executed, following judicial eviction.
An animal removed after surrender, abandonment, or eviction
may be kenneled or turned over to a local authority, humane
society, or rescue organization.
28. TAA Membership. We, the management company representing us,
or any locator service that you used confirms membership in good
standing of both the Texas Apartment Association and the affiliated
local apartment association for the area where the apartment is
located at the time of signing this Lease. If not, the following applies:
(A) this Lease is voidable at your option and is unenforceable by us
(except for property damages); and (B) we may not recover past or
future rent or other charges. The above remedies also apply if both
of the following occur: (1) the Lease is automatically renewed on a
month -to -month basis more than once after membership in TAA and
the local association has lapsed; and (2) neither the owner nor the man-
agement company is a member of TAA and the local association during
the third automatic renewal. A signed affidavit from the affiliated local
apartment association attesting to nonmembership when the Lease
or renewal was signed will be conclusive evidence of nonmembership.
Governmental entities may use TAA forms if TAA agrees in writing.

Bed Bug Addendum
'I'RXAN Al R rXIICN I' ASSOCIATION
Please note: We want to maintain a high -quality living environment for you. It's important to work together to
minimize the potential for bed bugs in your dwelling and others. This addendum outlines your responsibility
and potential liability when it comes to bed bugs. It also gives you some important information about them.
1. Addendum. This is an addendum to the Lease Contract that you,
the resident or residents, signed on the dwelling you have agreed
to rent. That dwelling is:
Apt. # at 3000 Alemeda
Street Fort Worth LLC
(name ofoportments)
or other dwelling located at
(street address ofhouse, duplex, etc.)
(city)
(state) (zip).
2. Purpose. This addendum modifies the Lease Contract to address
any infestation of bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) that might befound
in the dwelling or on your personal property. We will rely on repre-
sentations that you make to us in this addendum.
3. Inspection and Infestations. We are not aware of any current
evidence of bed bugs or bed -bug infestation in the dwelling.
BY SIGNING THIS ADDENDUM. YOU REPRESENT THAT:
• YOU HAVE INSPECTED THE DWELLING BEFORE MOVING
IN OR SIGNING THIS ADDENDUM. AND YOU DID NOT
FIND ANY EVIDENCE OF BED BUGS OR BED -BUG INFES-
TATIONS. OR
• YOU WILL INSPECT THE DWELLING WITHIN 48 HOURS
WILL NOTIFY US OF ANY BED BUGS OR BED -BUG INFES-
TATION.
You represent and agree that you have read the information about
bed bugs provided by us and that you are not aware of any infesta-
tion or presence of bed bugs in your current or previous dwellings,
furniture, clothing, personal property and possessions and that you
have fully disclosed to us any previous bed -bug infestation or issue
that you have experienced.
If you disclose a previous experience of bed -bug infestation, we can
review documentation of the treatment and inspect your personal
property and possessions to confirm the absence of bed bugs.
Access for Inspection and Pest Treatment. You must allow us
and our pest -control agents access to the dwelling at reasonable
times to inspect for or treat bed bugs. You and your family mem-
bers, occupants, guests, and invitees must cooperate and not in-
terfere with inspections or treatments. We have the right to select
any licensed pest -control professional to treat the dwelling and
building. We can select the method oftreating the dwelling, build-
ing, and common areas for bed bugs. We can also inspect and treat
adjacent or neighboring dwellings to the infestation, even if those
dwellings are not the source or cause of the known infestation. Si-
multaneously as we treat the dwelling, you must, at your expense,
have your personal property, furniture, clothing, and possessions
treated according to accepted treatment methods by a licensed
pest -control firm that we approve. If you fail to do so, you will be
in default and we will have the right to terminate your right of oc-
cupancy and exercise all rights and remedies under the Lease Con-
tract. You agree not to treat the dwelling for a bed -bug infestation
on your own.
5. Notification. You must promptly notify us:
• of any known or suspected bed -bug infestation or presence in
the dwelling, or in any of your clothing, furniture, or personal
property;
• of any recurring or unexplained bites, stings, irritations, or
sores on the skin or body that you believe are caused by bed
bugs, or by any condition or pest you believe is in the dwelling;
AND
• if you discover any condition or evidence that might indicate
the presence or infestation of bed bugs, or if you receive any
confirmation of bed -bug presence by a licensed pest -control
professional or other authoritative source.
Cooperation. If we confirm the presence or infestation of bed
bugs, you must cooperate and coordinate with us and our pest -
control agents to treat and eliminate them. You must follow all di-
rections from us or our agents to clean and treat the dwelling and
building that are infested. You must remove or destroy personal
property that cannot be treated or cleaned before we treat the
dwelling. Any items you remove from the dwelling must be dis-
posed of off -site and not in the property's trash receptacles. If we
confirm the presence or infestation of bed bugs in your dwelling,
we have the right to require you to temporarily vacate the dwelling
and remove all furniture, clothing, and personal belongings so we
can perform pest -control services. If you don't cooperate with us,
you will be in default and we will have the right to terminate your
right of occupancy and exercise all rights and remedies under the
Lease Contract.
Responsibilities. You may be required to pay all reasonable costs
of cleaning and pest -control treatments incurred by us to treat
your dwelling unit for bed bugs. If we confirm the presence or in-
festation of bed bugs after you move out, you may be responsible
for the cost of cleaning and pest control. If we have to move other
residents in order to treat adjoining or neighboring dwellings to
your dwelling unit, you may have to pay any lost rental income and
other expenses we incurto relocate the neighboring residents and
to clean and perform pest -control treatments to eradicate infesta-
tions in other dwellings. If you don't pay us for any costs you are
liable for, you will be in default and we will have the right to termi-
nate your right of occupancy and exercise all rights and remedies
under the Lease Contract, and we may take immediate possession
of the dwelling. If you don't move out after your right of occupancy
has been terminated, you will be liable for holdover rent under the
Lease Contract.
B. Transfers. If we allow you to transfer to another dwelling in the
community because of the presence of bed bugs, you must have
your personal property and possessions treated according to ac-
cepted treatment methods or procedures established by a licensed
pest -control professional. You must provide proof of such cleaning
and treatment to our satisfaction.
You are legally bound by this document. Please read it carefully.

Bed Bugs
A Guide for Rental -Housing Residents
(Adapted with permission from the National Apartment Association)
Bed bugs are wingless, flat, broadly oval -shaped in-
sects, with a typical lifespan of 6 to 12 months. Capa-
ble of reaching the size of an apple seed atfull growth,
bed bugs are distinguishable by their reddish -brown
color, although after feeding on the blood of hu-
mans and warm-blooded animals —their sole food
source —the bugs assume a distinctly blood -red hue
until digestion is complete.
Bed bugs don't discriminate.
Bed bugs' increased presence across the United States
in recent decades is due largely to a surge in interna-
tional travel and trade. It's no surprise then that bed
bugs have been found in some of the fanciest hotels
and apartment buildings in some of the nation's most
expensive neighborhoods.
Nonetheless, false claims that associate bed bugs
presence with poor hygiene and uncleanliness have
caused rental -housing residents, out of shame, to
avoid notifying owners of their presence. This only
causes the bed bugs to spread.
While bed bugs are more attracted to clutter, they're
certainly not discouraged by cleanliness. Bottom line:
bed bugs know no social or economic bounds; claims
to the contrary are false.
Bed bugs don't
transmit disease.
There exists no scientific evidence that bed bugs
carry disease. In fact, federal agencies tasked with
addressing pests of public -health concern, namely
the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, have re-
fused to elevate bed bugs to the threat level posed by
disease -carrying pests. Again, claims associating bed
bugs with disease are false.
Learn to identify bed bugs.
Bed bugs can often be found in, around, behind, un-
der, or between:
• Bedding
• Bed frames
• Mattress seams
• Upholstered furniture, especially under cushions
and along seams
• Wood furniture, especially along areas where draw-
ers slide
• Curtains and draperies
• Window and door frames
• Ceiling and wall junctions
• Crown moldings
• Wall hangings and loose wallpaper
• Carpeting and walls (carpet can be pulled away from
the wall and tack strip)
• Cracks and crevices in walls and floors
• Electronic devices, such as smoke and carbon -mon-
oxide detectors
Because bed bugs leave some people with itchy welts
similar to those made by fleas and mosquitoes, the
cause of welts like that often go misdiagnosed. One
distinguishing sign is that bed -bug marks often ap-
pear in succession on exposed areas of the skin such
as the face, neck, and arms. But sometimes a person
has no visible reaction at all from direct contact with
bed bugs.
While bed bugs typically act at night, they often
leave signs of their presence through fecal markings
of a red to dark -brown color, visible on or near beds.
Blood stains also tend to appear when the bugs have
been squashed, usually by an unsuspecting sleeping
host. And because they shed, it's not uncommon to
find the skin casts they leave behind.
Prevent bed -bug encounters
when traveling.
Because humans serve as bed bugs' main mode of
transportation, it's especially important to be mindful
of bed bugs when away from home. Experts attribute
the spread of bed bugs across all regions of the Unit-
ed States largely to increases in travel and trade, both
here and abroad. So travelers are encouraged to take
a few minutes on arriving to thoroughly inspect their
accommodations before unpacking. Because bed
bugs can easily travel from one place to another, it's
also a good practice to thoroughly inspect luggage
and belongings for bed bugs before heading home.
Know the bed -bug
dos and don'ts.
Don't bring used furniture from unknown sourc-
es into your dwelling. Countless bed -bug infesta-
tions have stemmed directly from bringing home
second-hand and abandoned furniture. Unless
you are absolutely sure that a piece of second-
hand furniture is bed -bug -free, you should as-
sume that a seemingly nice looking leather
couch, for example, is sitting curbside waiting to
be hauled off to the landfill because it's teeming
with bed bugs.
• Do inspect rental furniture, including mattresses
and couches, for the presence of bed bugs before
moving it into your dwelling.
• Do address bed -bug sightings immediately. Rent-
al -housing residents who suspect the presence of
bed bugs in their unit must immediately notify
the owner.
• Don't try to treat bed -bug infestations yourself.
Health hazards associated with the misapplica-
tion of traditional and nontraditional chemical -
based insecticides and pesticides poses too
great a risk to you, your family and pets, and your
neighbors.
• Do comply with eradication protocol. If the deter-
mination is made that your unit is indeed playing
host to bed bugs, you must comply with the bed-
bug -eradication protocol set forth by both your
owner and their designated pest -management
company.

Mold Information and Prevention Addendum
'I'E XAS .APA K I'MI F N'l' ASSO(:IA'I'I0N
Please note: We want to maintain a high -quality living environment for our residents. To help achieve this
goal, it is important that we work together to minimize any mold growth in your dwelling. This addendum
contains important information for you, and responsibilities for both you and us.
Addendum. This is an addendum to the Lease Contract executed by
you, the resident or residents, on the dwelling you have agreed to rent.
That dwelling is: Unit # at
3000 Alemeda Street Fort Worth LLC
(name of apartments)
or other dwelling located at
(street address of house, duplex, etc.)
City/State where dwelling is located
2. About Mold. Mold is found everywhere in our environment, both
indoors and outdoors and in both new and old structures. Molds are
nothing new —they are natural microscopic organisms that reproduce
by spores. They have always been with us. In the environment, molds
break down organic matter and use the end product forfood. Without
molds we would be struggling with large amounts of dead organic
matter. Mold spores (like plant pollen) spread through the air and are
commonly transported byshoes, clothing,and other materials.There is
conflicting scientific evidence about how much mold must accumulate
before it creates adverse health effects on people and animals. Even so,
we must take appropriate precautions to prevent its buildup.
3. Preventing Mold Begins withYou.to minimze the potential for mold
growth in your dwelling, you must:
Keep your dwelling clean —particularly the kitchen, bathroom,
carpets, and floors. Regular vacuuming and mopping of the floors,
plus cleaning hard surfaces using a household cleaner, are all
important to remove the household dirt and debris that harbor
mold or food for mold.Throw away moldy food immediately.
Remove visible moisture accumulations on windows, walls, ceilings,
floors, and other surfaces as soon as reasonably possible. Look for
leaks in washing -machine hoses and discharge lines —especially if
the leak is large enough for water to seep into nearby walls. If your
dwelling has them, turn on exhaust fans in the bathroom before
showering and in the kitchen before cooking with open pots.
Also when showering, keep the shower curtain inside the tub (or
fully close the shower doors). Experts also recommend that after
a shower or bath you (1) wipe moisture off shower walls, shower
doors, the bathtub, and the bathroom floor; (2) leave the bathroom
door open until all moisture on the mirrors and bathroom walls and
tile surfaces has dissipated; and (3) hang up your towels and bath
mats so they will completely dry out.
Promptly notify us in writing about any air-conditioning or heating -
system problems you discover. Follow any of our rules about
replacing air filters. It's also good practice to open windows and
doors periodically on days when the outdoor weather is dry (i.e.,
humidity is below 50%) to help humid areas of your dwelling dry
out.
Promptly notify us in writing of any signs of water leaks, water
infiltration, or mold. We will respond in accordance with state
law and the Lease Contract to repair or remedy the situation as
necessary.

4. Avoiding Moisture Buildup. To avoid mold growth, it's important to
prevent excess moisture buildup in your dwelling. Failing to promptly
attend to leaks and moisture accumulations on dwelling surfaces can
encourage mold growth, especially in places where they might get
inside walls or ceilings. Prolonged moisture can come from a wide
variety of sources, such as:
rainwater leaking from roofs, windows, doors, and outside walls, as
well as flood waters rising above floor level;
overflows from showers, bathtubs, toilets, sinks, washing machines,
dehumidifiers, refrigerator or air -conditioner drip pans, or clogged
air -conditioner condensation lines;
leaks from plumbing lines or fixtures, and leaks into walls from bad
or missing grouting or caulking around showers, bathtubs, or sinks;
washing -machine hose leaks, plant -watering overflows, pet urine,
cooking spills, beverage spills, and steam from excessive open -pot
cooking;
leaks from clothes -dryer discharge vents (which can put a lot of
moisture into the air); and
insufficient drying of carpets, carpet pads, shower walls, and
bathroom floors.
5. Cleaning Mold. If small areas of mold have already accumulated on
nonporous surfaces (such as ceramic tile, formica, vinyl flooring, metal,
wood, or plastic), the Environmental Protection Agency recommends
that you first clean the areas with soap (or detergent) and water and let
the surface dry thoroughly. (Applying biocides without first cleaning
away the dirt and oils from the surface is like painting over old paint
without first cleaning and preparing the surface.) When the surface
is dry —and within 24 hours of cleaning —apply a premixed spray -
on household biocide such as Lysol Disinfectant®, Original Pine -Sol®
Cleaner, Tilex Mold & Mildew Remover® or Clorox® Clean-up® Cleaner
+ Bleach. (Note two things: First, only a few ofthe common household
cleanerscan actually kill mold. Second,Tilexand Clorox contain bleach,
which can discolor or stain surfaces, so follow the instructions on the
container.) Always clean and apply a biocide to an area five or six times
largerthan any mold you see —mold can be present but not yet visible
to the naked eye. A vacuum cleaner with a high -efficiency particulate
air (HEPA) filter can be used to help remove nonvisible mold products
from porous items such as fibers in sofas, chairs, drapes, and carpets —
provided the fibers are completely dry. Machine washing ordry-cleaning
will remove mold from clothes.
6. Warning for Porous Surfaces and Large Surfaces. Do not clean or
apply biocides to visible mold on porous surfaces such as sheetrock
walls orceilings orto largeareas ofvisible mold on nonporous surfaces.
Instead, notify us in writing and we will take appropriate action to comply
with Section 92.051 et seq. of the Texas Property Code, subject to the
special exceptions for natural disasters.
Compliance. Complying with this addendum will help prevent mold
growth in your dwelling, and both you and we will be able to respond
correctly ifproblemsdevelop that could lead to mold growth.lfyou have
questions aboutthis addendum, please contact us atthe management
office or at the phone number shown in your Lease Contract.
If you fail to comply with this addendum, you can
be held responsible for property damage to the
dwelling and any health problems that may result.
We can't fix problems in your dwelling unless we
know about them.

2. Security Guidelines. We disclaim any express or implied
warranties of security. We care about your safety and that of
other occupants and guests. No security system is failsafe.
Even the best system can't prevent crime. Always act as
if security systems don't exist since they are subject to
malfunction, tampering, and human error. The best safety
measures are the ones you perform as a matter of common
sense and habit.
Inform all other occupants in your dwelling, including
any children you may have, about these guidelines. We
recommend that all residents and occupants use common
sense and follow crime prevention tips, such as those listed
below:
• In case of emergency, call 911. Always report emergencies
to authorities first and then contact the management.
Report any suspicious activity to the police first, and then
follow up with a written notice to us.
• Know your neighbors. Watching out for each other is one
of the best defenses against crime.

• Always be aware of your surroundings and avoid areas that
are not well -traveled or well -lit.
• Keep your keys handy at all times when walking to your car
or home.
• Do not go inside if you arrive home and find your door
open. Call the police from another location and ask them
to meet you before entering.
• Make sure door locks, window latches and sliding glass
doors are properly secured at all times.
• Use the keyless deadbolt on your unit when you are at
home.
• Don't put your name or address on your key ring or hide
extra keys in obvious places, like under a flower pot. If you
lose a key or have concerns about key safety, we will rekey
your locks at your expense, in accordance with paragraph
11 of the Lease.
• Check the door viewer before answering the door. Don't
open the door if you don't know the person or have any
doubts. Children who are old enough to take care of
themselves should never let anyone inside when home
without an adult.
• Regularly check your security devices, smoke alarms and
other detection devices to make sure they are working
properly. Alarm and detection device batteries should be
tested monthly and replaced at least twice a year.
• Immediately report in writing (dated and signed) to us any
needed repairs of security devices, doors, windows, smoke
alarms and other detection devices , as well as any other
malfunctioning safety devices on the property, such as
broken access gates, burned out exterior lights, etc.

LEASE ADDENDUM FOR SATELLITE DISH OR ANTENNA
Under a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) order, you as our resident have a right to install a transmitting or receiving satellite dish
or antenna on the leased premises, subject to FCC limitations. We as a rental housing owner are allowed to impose reasonable restrictions
relating to such installation. You are required to comply with these restrictions as a condition of installing such equipment. This addendum
contains the restrictions that you and we agree to follow.
1. Addendum. This is an addendum to the lease between you and us for Apt. No. in the
3000 Alemeda Street Fort Worth LLC
Apartments in Fort Worth
Texas OR
the house, duplex, etc. located at (street address)
, Texas.
2. Number and size. You may install 1 satellite dish(es) or antenna(s) on the leased premises. A satellite dish may not exceed
one meter (3.3 feet) in diameter. Antennas that only transmit signals or that are not covered by 47 CFR §1.4000 are prohibited.
3. Location. Your satellite dish or antenna must be located: (1) inside your dwelling; or (2) in an area outside your dwelling such as a
balcony, patio, yard, etc. of which you have exclusive use under your lease. Installation is not permitted on any parking area, roof, exterior
wall, window, window sill, fence, or common area, or in an area that other residents are allowed to use. A satellite dish or antenna may not
protrude beyond the vertical and horizontal space that is leased to you for your exclusive use.
4. Safety and non-interference. Your installation: (1) must comply with all applicable ordinances and laws and all reasonable safety
standards; (2) may not interfere with our cable, telephone or electrical systems or those of neighboring properties; (3) may not be
connected to our telecommunication systems; and (4) may not be connected to our electrical system except by plugging into a 110-volt
duplex receptacle. If the satellite dish or antenna is placed in a permitted outside area, it must be safely secured by one of three methods:
(1) securely attaching it to a portable, heavy object such as a small slab of concrete; (2) clamping it to a part of the building's exterior that
lies within your leased premises (such as a balcony or patio railing); or (3) any other method approved by us in writing. No other methods
are allowed. We may require reasonable screening of the satellite dish or antenna by plants, etc., so long as it does not impair reception.
S. Signal transmission from exterior dish or antenna to interior of dwelling. Under the FCC order, you may not damage or alter
the leased premises and may not drill holes through outside walls, door jams, windowsills, etc. If your satellite dish or antenna is installed
outside your dwelling (on a balcony, patio, etc.), the signals received by it may be transmitted to the interior of your dwelling only by the
following methods: (1) running a "flat" cable under a door jam or windowsill in a manner that does not physically alter the premises and
does not interfere with proper operation of the door or window; (2) running a traditional or flat cable through a pre-existing hole in the wall
(that will not need to be enlarged to accommodate the cable); (3) connecting cables "through a window pane," similar to how an external
car antenna for a cellular phone can be connected to inside wiring by a device glued to either side of the window —without drilling a hole
through the window; (4) wireless transmission of the signal from the satellite dish or antenna to a device inside the dwelling; or (5) any
other method approved by us in writing.
6. Safety in installation. In order to assure safety, the strength and type of materials used for installation must be approved by us.
Installation must be done by a qualified person or company approved by us. Our approval will not be unreasonably withheld. An installer
provided by the seller of the satellite dish or antenna is presumed to be qualified.
T. Maintenance. You will have the sole responsibility for maintaining your satellite dish, antenna, and all related equipment.
8. Removal and damages. You must remove the satellite dish or antenna and all related equipment when you move out of the dwelling.
In accordance with the TAA Lease Contract, you must pay for any damages and for the cost of repairs or repainting caused by negligence,
carelessness, accident. or abuse which may be reasonably necessary to restore the leased premises to its condition prior to the installation
of your satellite dish, antenna or related equipment. You will not be responsible for normal wear and tear.
9. Liability insurance and indemnity. You must take full responsibility for the satellite dish, antenna, and related equipment. If the dish
or antenna is installed at a height or in some other way that could result in injury to others if it becomes unattached and falls, you must
provide us with evidence of liability insurance to protect us against claims of personal injury and property damage to others, related to your
satellite dish, antenna, and related equipment. The insurance coverage must be $ 100000.00 , which is an amount reasonably
determined by us to accomplish that purpose. Factors affecting the amount of insurance include height of installation above ground level,
potential wind velocities, risk of the dish/antenna becoming unattached and falling on someone, etc. You agree to hold us harmless and
indemnify us against any of the above claims by others.
10. Security deposit. Your security deposit (in your Lease Contract) is increased by an additional reasonable sum of $ 500.00
® effective at time of installation or ❑ effective within days of installation to help protect us against possible repair costs,
damages, or failure to remove the satellite dish, antenna and related equipment at time of move -out. Factors affecting any security
deposit may vary, depending on: (1) how the dish or antenna is attached (nails, screws, lag bolts drilled into walls); (2) whether holes
were permitted to be drilled through walls for the cable between the satellite dish and the TV; and (3) the difficulty and cost of repair or
restoration after removal, etc. A security deposit increase does not imply a right to drill into or alter the leased premises.
11. When you may begin installation. You may start installation of your satellite dish, antenna, or related equipment only after you have:
(1) signed this addendum; (2) provided us with written evidence of the liability insurance referred to in paragraph 9 of this addendum;
(3) paid us the additional security deposit, if applicable, in paragraph 10; and (4) received our written approval, which may not be
unreasonably withheld, of the installation materials and the person or company that will do the installation.
12. Miscellaneous. If additional satellite dishes or antennas are desired, an additional lease addendum must be executed.

The City of Fort Worth's (City's) 2023-2027 Consolidated Plan assesses community and affordable
housing needs and sets strategic priorities and goals for use of federal grants funds from the United
States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for a five-year period. These priorities and
goals are to be addressed with Annual Action Plans that summarize the major housing and community
development activities and proposed expenditures for each of the five years.
These priorities and goals were developed to be consistent with strategies and initiatives previously
adopted by the City Council, as well as through an assessment of community needs. This included
Citywide public meetings conducted by JQuad Planning Group, the consultant contracted to prepare the
Consolidated Plan in collaboration with the Neighborhood Services Department staff. The recommended
Consolidated Plan priorities and goals for use of HUD grant funds over the next five years are
summarized below.

Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) grant programs. It also summarizes the use of
program income resulting from activities using prior years' CDBG and HOME funds, the primary purpose
of which is to benefit low -and moderate -income persons in Fort Worth. ESG funds primarily benefit
persons experiencing homelessness, and HOPWA funds primarily benefit low -and moderate -income
persons with HIV/AIDS.
A Request for Proposals from social service agencies and nonprofit organizations seeking grant funding
was published on February 1, 2023. All proposals were received on March 15, 2023. Staff reviewed all
proposals and developed recommendations for the allocation of estimated funding from HUD based on
the capacity of applicant organizations, grant experience, fiscal stability, and compliance with applicable
federal regulations. One public hearing was held on April 12, 2023 to provide citizens the opportunity to
participate in the development of the Annual Action Plan. Recommendations for award amounts were
considered and adopted by the Community Development Council on May 10, 2023. These funding
recommendations were presented in City Council Work Session on August 1, 2023.
A 30-day public comment period was held from June 30, 2023 to July 31, 2023. Notice of this public
comment period was published in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram on June 29, 2023; in the Cleburne Times
Review on July 6; in the Weatherford Democrat on July 8; and in La Vida News on July 13.
Any comments received are maintained by the Neighborhood Services Department in accordance with
federal regulations. The City held two public hearings as a part of the HUD required citizen participation
process. The first public hearing was held by staff on July 12, 2023, and the second public hearing is
scheduled for the City Council on August 8, 2023.
A summary of staffs final funding recommendations is provided below in Tables 1,2, and 3. A Powerpoint
presentation listing funding recommendations is also attached. The 2023-2024 Annual Action Plan will be
submitted to HUD by August 15, 2023.
Indirect costs totaling approximately $393,106.92 could be charged to these grants, as the Neighborhood
Services Department indirect cost rate is 28.10\% in the City's most recent Cost Allocation Plan. A waiver
of these costs is requested to allow allocation of these funds to further support the programs and services
to assist low -to -moderate income citizens.

amount of the City's Priority Repair Program (PRP) from $1,100,000.00 to $2,000,000.00. Approval of
this M&C authorizes an additional increase of annual funding from $2,000,000.00 to $2,500,000.00. This
will require an increase in the expenditure authority for the PRP and the contracting authority for PRP
agreements, resulting in an annual increase of $500,000.00. A total five year (Fiscal Years 2023-2027)
contract authority of $46,858,546.53 for PRP is necessary to facilitate the increase in funding from CDBG.

Each of these grants is an entitlement grant rather than a competitive grant received from the United
States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Entitlement grants provide funds to
agencies based on a formula, prescribed in legislation or regulation, rather than based on review. These
specific grants are allocated to the City of Fort Worth based on population size and per capita income
each year. The grants have been consistently awarded to the City since 1974 with the inception of the
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) through the Housing and Community Development Act of
1974. The Emergency Shelter (renamed Solutions) Grant (ESG) was authorized in 1987 through the
McKinney-Vento Homelessness Assistance Act. The HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME)
and the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) Program were authorized in 1990
through the Cranston -Gonzales National Affordable Housing Act of 1990. With these grants,
administrative and program delivery allocations support approximately 72 FTE positions in the
Neighborhood Services Department, which is funded nearly 70\% with various grants including these
entitlement grants.
Positions funded with HUD Entitlement grants are subject to grant availability. In the event of a grant
award being decreased or eliminated, Neighborhood Services Department would review programs and
services funded by the grants and determine a level of service and staffing that aligns with the available
funding. Alternatives to consider may include staff and program reductions or eliminations.
