provided to the City in writing for the new term at least 30 days prior to the effective date of the
renewal term.

The Tenant shall pay a security deposit for the Unit to the Landlord in accordance with the
Tenant's lease, attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Landlord will hold this security deposit during
the period the Tenant occupies the dwelling unit under the Lease. The Landlord shall comply with
state and local laws regarding interest payments on security deposits.
After the Tenant has moved from the dwelling unit, the Landlord may, subject to state and
local law, use the security deposit, including any interest on the deposit, as reimbursement for rent
or any other amounts payable by the Tenant under the Lease. The Landlord will give the Tenant a
written list of all items charged against the security deposit and the amount of each item. After
deducting the amount used as reimbursement to the Landlord, the Landlord shall promptly refund

circumstances shall late fees be assessed against Tenant or City for late payment by the City.

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-

15. Requests, Repairs and Malfunctions.
15.1. Written Requests Required. Ifyou or any occupant needs
to send a request —for example, for repairs, installations,
services, ownership disclosure, or security -related matters —
it must be written and delivered to our designated
representative in accordance with this Lease (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 underthis 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 whether or 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
moisture, mold, electrical problems, malfunctioning lights,
broken or missing locks or latches, or any other condition that
poses a hazard or threat to property, health, or safety. Unless
we instruct otherwise, you are required to keep the
apartment cooled or heated according to this Lease. 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 forthe severity and nature of the problem and
the reasonable availability of materials, labor, and
utilities. If we fail to timely repair a 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 this Lease and an appropriate refund
under 92.056(f); (2) have the condition repaired or
remedied according to § 92.0567; (3) deduct from the Rent
the cost of the repair or remedy according to § 92.0567;
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. Iftermination occurs, you agree
we'll refund only prorated rent and all deposits, minus lawful deduc-
tions. We may remove and dispose of your personal property if, in
our solejudgment, it causes a health or safety hazard or impedes our
ability to make repairs.
Texas Property Code secs. 92.151, 92.153, and 92.154 require, with
some exceptions, that we provide at no cost to you when occupancy
begins: (A) a window latch on each window; (B) a doorviewer (peep-
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
door; (E) a keyless bolting device (deadbolt) on each exterior door;
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
or not install keyless bolting devices on your doors if (A) you or an
occupant in the dwelling is over 55 or disabled, and (B) the require-
ments of Texas Property Code sec. 92.153(e) or (f) are satisfied.
18.1. Smoke Alarms and Detection Devices. We'll furnish
smoke alarms or other detection devices required by law
or city ordinance. We may install additional detectors
not so required. We'll test them and provide working
batteries when you first take possession of your
apartment. Upon request, we'll provide, as required by
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. Ifyou damage ordisable 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. 92.2671 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,
smoke alarms or detectors. You'II be liable if you fail to

of us, our employees, agents, or management companies are liable

al acts ofresidents, occupants, or guests, theft, burglary, assault,

rely upon any security measures taken by us for personal security,
and that you will call 911 and local law enforcement authorities if any
security needs arise.

personal security services to you, your guests or occupants. You rec-
ognize that we are not required to provide any private security ser-
vices and that no security devices or measures on the property are

install a satellite dish or antenna, but only if you sign our
satellite dish or antenna lease addendum, which complies
with reasonable restrictions allowed by federal law. You must
not alter, damage, or remove our property, including alarm
systems, detection devices, appliances, furniture, telephone
and television wiring, screens, locks, or security devices. When
you move in, we'll supply light bulbs for fixtures we furnish, in-
cluding exterior fixtures operated from inside the apartment;
after that, you'll replace them at your expense
with bulbs of the same type and wattage. Your improvements
to the apartment (made with or without our consent) become
ours unless we agree otherwise in writing.
21. Notices. Written notice to or from our employees, agents, or
management companies constitutes notice to or from us. Notices to
you or any other resident of the apartment constitute notice to all
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. 7.3. 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. Ifallowed by law and in
accordance with this Lease, electronic notice from you to us
must be sent to the email address and/or portal specified in
this Lease. Notice may also be given by phone call or to a
physical address if allowed in this Lease.
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. If you or any guest or occupant violates this Lease or our
Community Policies, all residents are considered to have violated this
Lease.
22.1. Indemnification byYou. You9ldefend.indemnifyandhold us
and our employees, agents, and managementcompany
harmless from all liability arising from yourconduct or
requests to ourrepresentatives and from the conduct of or
requests by your invitees, occupants or guests.
23. Default by Resident.
23.1.
23.2.
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, (B) 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.
Eviction. lfyoudefault, including holding over, we may
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. After giving notice to vacate or
filing an eviction suit we maystill 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 ifyou'rejudicially evicted or move
out when we demand because you've defaulted.
If you don't pay the first month's Rent when or before this 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 of the previously signed lease of a
new resident who can't occupy because of the 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 ifyou 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 or any part ofit
unless in writing and signed, andno authorityto make promises, rep-
resentations, oragreements that impose securityduties or other ob-
ligations on us or ourrepresentatives, 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, notenforce ordelayenforcement of written -no-
tice requirements, rental due dates, acceleration, liens, oranyother
rights isn'ta waiverunderanycircumstances. 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 ifyou
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
this 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 of the 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 this Lease
before the end of the 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 of the 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

reasonable cleaning charges —including charges for cleaning

doned. An apartment is also considered abandoned 10 days after the
death of a sole resident.

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

may be kenneled or turned over to a local authority, humane
society, or rescue organization.

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) this 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 northe man-
agement company is a member ofTAA and the local association during
the third automatic renewal. A signed affidavit from the affiliated local
apartment association attesting to nonmembership when this Lease
or renewal was signed will be conclusive evidence of nonmembership.
Governmental entities may use TAA forms if TAA agrees in writing.

id or unenforceable under applicable law, it won't invalidate the re-

this Lease. This Lease binds subsequent owners.

1. Addendum. This is an addendum to the Lease Contract
("Lease") executed by you, the resident(s), on the dwelling
you have agreed to rent. That dwelling is:
Apt. # at CVIII — CHISHOLM
RANCH LLC
(name of apartments)
or other dwelling located at
(street address of house, duplex, etc.)
City/State where dwelling is located
2. Security Guidelines. We disclaim any express or implied
warranties ofsecurity. 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.

6.1 Housing Tax Credit Program. For rental properties par-
ticipating in the HTC program, IRS Revenue Ruling 2004-82
provides that a property owner may not evict a resident
or terminate a tenancy except for good cause. In addition,
for HTC units, we must provide the notice required under
the Lease if evicting during the lease term or if terminat-
ing your residency at the end of an initial or renewal term.
In addition, for HTC units, we must provide written notice
specifying the grounds for eviction during the lease term
or if we terminate your residency at the end of the initial

FLOOD DISCLOSURE NOTICE
In accordance with Texas law, we are providing the following flood disclosure:
• We O are or M 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 ® 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."

(city)
(state) (zip).
2. Purpose. This addendum modifies the Lease Contract to address
any infestation of bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) that might be found
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:

WILL NOTIFY US OF ANY BED BUGS OR BEDBUG INFES-
TATION.
4. 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. 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. You agree not to treat the dwell-
ing 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 per-
sonal 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 dwell-
ing; 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.

of cleaning and pest -control treatments incurred by us to treat your
dwelling unit for bed bugs. If we confirm the presence or infestation
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 expens-
es we incur to relocate the neighboring residents and to clean and
perform pest -control treatments to eradicate infestations 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 terminate your right
of occupancy and exercise all rights and remedies under the Lease,

move out after your right of occupancy has been terminated, you
will be liable for holdover rent under the Lease.
8. Transfers. If we allow you to transfer to another dwelling in the com-
munity because of the presence of bed bugs, you must have your

treatment to our satisfaction.

INSURANCE ADDENDUM
1. Addendum. This is an addendum to the TAA Lease Contract for Apt. No. in the
CVIII — CHISHOLM RANCH LLC
Apartments in Fort Worth
Texas OR
the house, duplex, etc. located at (street address)
in Texas.
The terms of this addendum will control if the term of the Lease and this addendum conflict.
2. Required Insurance Policy. In accordance with the Lease, you understand and agree that this addendum requires Resident, at
Resident's sole expense, to buy and maintain a liability insurance policy during the entire Lease term and any renewal periods that provides
limits of liability to third parties in amount not less than $ 100000.00 per occurrence. The liability insurance policy Resident buys
and maintains must cover the actions or inactions of Resident and your occupants and guests, and be issued or underwritten by a carrier
of your choice licensed to do business in Texas. The required insurance policy must identify the Owner identified in the Lease (or another
entity designated by Owner) as an "Interested Party" or "Party of Interest" that will be notified by the insurer of any cancellation, non -
renewal, or material change in your coverage no later than 30 days after such action. You must provide us written proof of compliance with
the Lease and this addendum on or prior to the Lease commencement date; and if you do not you will not be granted possession of the
Premises. You must also provide us written proof of compliance within 7 days of our written request at any other time we request it.
3. Acknowledgement. You acknowledge that Owner does not acquire or maintain insurance for Resident's benefit or which is designed
to insure you for personal injury, loss or damage to your personal property or belongings, or your own liability for injury, loss or damage
that you (or your occupants or guests) may cause others. Any insurance policy that insures you for personal injury, loss or damage to
your personal property or belongings, or provide you coverage for your own liability for injury, loss or damage that you (or your occupants
or guests) may cause others must be bought and maintained solely by you. We do not and are not able to provide you with information
on insurance coverage, rates, or terms and conditions. You should instead seek such information from a licensed insurance company,
licensed insurance agent, other licensed insurance professional, or the Texas Department of Insurance. The Texas Department of
Insurance website at www.tdi.texas.gov may contain useful consumer information regarding renter's insurance. You further acknowledge
that we have made no referrals, guarantees, representations or promises whatsoever concerning any insurance or services provided by
any insurance company. At all times you have been and remain free to contract for the required insurance with the insurance carrier of
your choosing.
4. Default. You understand and agree that your failure to comply with either the requirements specified in the Lease, this addendum, or
both is a material breach by you of the Lease and a default of the Lease for which Owner may sue you for eviction. If you fail to buy and
maintain insurance as required by the Lease and this addendum, we may, in our sole discretion, agree to refrain from filing an eviction
against you for your default for not having the appropriate insurance in place upon payment by you to Owner of $ 35.00
(which you agree is not a liquidated damages amount and which sum shall only apply to each month (or part thereof) you remain in breach
of this insurance addendum). Owner will agree to forego commencement of an eviction based upon non-compliance with this addendum
for a one -month period, during which you shall come into compliance with this addendum. Our choice to accept money from you to forego
pursuit of an eviction for one month does not require us to accept money from you or forego pursuit of our remedies under this paragraph
for any subsequent months. The foregoing payments are due on the 1st day of the month following the calendar month (or part thereof)
during which you do not have the required insurance, with no grace period. PAYMENT OF SAID AMOUNT DOES NOT RELIEVE YOU
OF YOUR OBLIGATION TO BUY AND MAINTAIN INSURANCE AS SUMMARIZED IN PARAGRAPH 2 OF THIS ADDENDUM, DOES
NOT CURE THE MATERIAL BREACH AND DEFAULT DESCRIBED IN THIS PARAGRAPH, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, AND DOES NOT
RELIEVE YOU OF ANY OBLIGATION TO COMPENSATE US OR ANY OTHER PARTY INJURED OR DAMAGED BY THE ACTIONS
OR INACTIONS OF RESIDENT OR YOUR OCCUPANTS OR GUESTS. You further understand that we will not buy an insurance policy
for you or for your benefit, and that nothing in this Lease shall be considered an agreement by Owner to furnish you with any insurance
coverage.
NOTICE TO RESIDENT: YOU SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THE REQUIRED INSURANCE POLICY UNDER THIS ADDENDUM DOES
NOT PROTECT YOU AGAINST LOSS OR DAMAGE TO YOUR PERSONAL PROPERTY OR BELONGINGS. YOU ARE STRONGLY
ENCOURAGED TO BUY INSURANCE THAT COVERS YOU AND YOUR PROPERTY.
I have read, understand and agree to comply with the preceding provisions: [All Residents must sign this addendum]

LEASE ADDENDUM FOR ALLOCATING WATER/WASTEWATER COSTS
1. Addendum. This is an addendum to the TAA Lease Contract for Apt. No. in the
CVIII — CHISHOLM RANCH LLC
Apartments in Fort worth
Texas. The terms of this addendum will control if the terms of the Lease and this addendum conflict.
2. Reason for allocation. When water and wastewater bills are paid 100 percent by the property owner, residents have
no incentive to conserve water. This results in a waste of our state's natural resources and adds to the overhead of the
property —and that usually means higher rents. Allocation of water bills saves money for residents because it encourages
them to conserve water and wastewater. We as owners also have incentive to conserve because we are required by law to
pay a portion of the total water bill(s) for the entire apartment community.
3. Your payment due date. Payment of your allocated water/wastewater bill is due 16 days after the date it is postmarked
or hand delivered to your apartment. You agree to mail or deliver payment to the place indicated on your bill so that payment
is received no later than the due date. You will pay a late charge of 5 percent of your water/wastewater bill if we don't receive
timely payment. If you are late in paying the water bill, we may not cut off your water; but we may immediately exercise all
other lawful remedies, including eviction —just like late payment of rent.
4. Allocation procedures. Your monthly rent under the TAA Lease Contract does not include a charge for water and
wastewater. Instead, you will be receiving a separate bill from us each month for such utilities. We may include this item as
a separate and distinct charge as part of a multi -item bill. We will allocate the monthly mastermeter water/wastewater bill(s)
for the apartment community, based on an allocation method approved by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC) and
described below.
The allocation method that we will use in calculating your bill is noted below and described in the following subdivision of
Section 24.281 of the PUC rules (check only one):
❑ subdivision (i) actual occupancy;
❑ subdivision (ii) ratio occupancy (PUC average for number of occupants in unit);
❑ subdivision (iii)average occupancy (PUC average for number of bedrooms in unit);
x❑ subdivision (iv)combination of actual occupancy and square feet of the apartment; or
❑ subdivision (v) submetered hot/cold water, ratio to total.
The normal date on which the utility company sends its monthly bill to us for the water/wastewater mastermeter is about
the 20 day of the month. Within 10 days thereafter, we will try to allocate that mastermeter bill among our residents by
allocated billings.
s. Common area deduction. We will calculate your allocated share of the mastermetered water/wastewater bill according
to PUC rules. Before calculating your portion of the bill, we will deduct for irrigation of landscaping and all other common area
uses, as required by PUC rules. We will also deduct for any utility company base charges and customer service charges
so that you won't be paying any part of such charges for vacant units. No administrative or other fees will be added to the
total mastermeter water/wastewater bill(s) to be allocated unless expressly allowed by PUC rules. No other amounts will be
included in the bill except your unpaid balances and any late fees you incur. If we fail to pay our mastermeter bill to the utility
company on time and incur penalties or interest, no portion of such amounts will be included in your bill.
6. Change of allocation formula. The above allocation formula for determining your share of the mastermetered water/
wastewater bill cannot be changed except as follows: (1) the new formula is one approved by the PUC; (2) you receive notice
of the new formula at least 35 days before it takes effect; and (3) you agree to the change in a signed lease renewal or signed
mutual agreement.
z. Previous average. As required under PUC rules, you are notified that the average monthly bill for all dwelling units in
the previous calendar year was $ 40.55 per unit, varying from $ 19.19 to $ 138.28 for the lowest
to highest month's bills for any unit in the apartment community for this period, if such information is available. The above
amounts do not reflect future changes in utility company water rates, weather variations, total water consumption, residents'
water consumption habits, etc.
8. Right to examine records. During regular weekday office hours, you may examine: (1) our water/wastewater bills from
the utility company; (2) our calculations of your monthly allocations; and (3) any other information available to you under PUC
rules. Please give us reasonable advance notice to gather the data. Any disputes relating to the computation of your bill will
be between you and us.
9. PUC. Water allocation billing is regulated by the PUC. A copy of the rules is attached. This addendum complies with those
rules.
10.Conservation efforts. We agree to use our best efforts to repair any water leaks inside or outside your apartment no later
than 7 days after learning of them. You agree to use your best efforts to conserve water and notify us of leaks.

subsection.
§ 24.279. Rental Agreement
(a) Rental agreement content. The rental agreement between the owner and
tenant shall clearly state in writing:
(1) the tenant will be billed by the owner for submetered or allocated utility
services, whichever is applicable;
(2) which utility services will be included in the bill issued by the owner;
(3) any disputes relating to the computation of the tenant's bill or the

(d) Change from submetered to allocated billing. An owner shall not change
from submetered billing to allocated billing, except after receiving written
approval from the commission after a demonstration of good cause and if the
rental agreement requirements under subsections (a), (b), and (c) of this
section have been met. Good cause may include:
(1) equipment failures; or
(2) meter reading or billing problems that could not feasibly be corrected.
(a) Waiver of tenant rights prohibited. A rental agreement provision that
purports to waive a tenant's rights or an owner's responsibilities under this
subchapter is void.
§ 24.281. Charges and Calculations
(a) Prohibited charges. Charges billed to tenants for submetered or allocated
utility service may only include bills for water or wastewater from the retail
public utility and must not include any fees billed to the owner by the retail
public utility for any deposit, disconnect, reconnect, late payment, or other
similar fees.
(b) Dwelling unit base charge. If the retail public utilitys rate structure includes
a dwelling unit base charge, the owner shall bill each dwelling unit for the
base charge applicable to that unit. The owner may not bill tenants for any
dwelling unit base charges applicable to unoccupied dwelling units.
(c) Customer service charge. If the retail public utility's rate structure includes
a customer service charge, the owner shall bill each dwelling unit the amount
of the customer service charge divided by the total number of dwelling units,
including vacant units, that can receive service through the master meter
serving the tenants.
(d) Calculations for submetered utility service. The tenant's submetered
charges must include the dwelling unit base charge and customer service
charge, if applicable, and the gallonage charge and must be calculated each
month as follows:
(1) water utility service: the retail public utility's total monthly charges for
water service (less dwelling unit base charges or customer service
charges, if applicable), divided by the total monthly water consumption
measured by the retail public utility to obtain an average water cost per
gallon, liter, or cubic foot, multiplied by the tenant's monthly consumption
or the volumetric rate charged by the retail public utility to the owner
multiplied by the tenant's monthly water consumption;
(2) wastewater utility service: the retail public utility's total monthly charges
for wastewater service (less dwelling unit base charges or customer
service charges, if applicable), divided by the total monthly water
consumption measured by the retail public utility, multiplied by the tenant's
monthly consumption or the volumetric wastewater rate charged by the
retail public utility to the owner multiplied by the tenant's monthly water
consumption;
(3) service charge for manufactured home rental community or the owner
or manager of apartment house: a manufactured home rental community
or apartment house may charge a service charge in an amount not to
exceed 9 % of the tenant's charge for submetered water and wastewater
service, except when;
(A) the resident resides in a unit of an apartment house that has received
an allocation of low income housing tax credits under Texas
Government Code, Chapter 2306, Subchapter DID; or
(B) the apartment resident receives tenant -based voucher assistance
under United States Housing Act of 1937 Section 8, (42 United States
Code, §1437f); and
(4) final bill on move -out for submetered service: if a tenant moves out
during a billing period, the owner may calculate a final bill for the tenant
before the owner receives the bill for that period from the retail public utility.
If the owner is billing using the average water or wastewater cost per
gallon, liter, or cubic foot as described in paragraph (1) of this subsection,
the owner may calculate the tenant's bill by calculating the tenant's average
volumetric rate for the last three months and multiplying that average
volumetric rate by the tenant's consumption for the billing period.
(a) Calculations for allocated utility service.
(1) Before an owner may allocate the retail public utility's master meter bill
for water and sewer service to the tenants, the owner shall first deduct:
(A) dwelling unit base charges or customer service charge, if applicable;
and
(B) common area usage such as installed landscape irrigation systems,
pools, and laundry rooms, if any, as follows:
(i) if all common areas are separately metered or submetered, deduct
the actual common area usage;
(ii) if common areas that are served through the master meter that
provides water to the dwelling units are not separately metered or
submetered and there is an installed landscape irrigation system,
deduct at least 25 % of the retail public utility's master meter bill;
(iii) if all water used for an installed landscape irrigation system is
metered or submetered and there are other common areas such as
pools or laundry rooms that are not metered or submetered, deduct
at least 5 % of the retail public utility's master meter bill; or
(iv) if common areas that are served through the master meter that
provides water to the dwelling units are not separately metered or
Document digitally signed using RentCafe eSignature services. Document ID: 9155139
f►aNyNOzP 10W,NWdl
submetered and there is no installed landscape irrigation system,
deduct at least 5 % of the retail public utility's master meter bill.
(2) To calculate a tenant's bill:
(A) for an apartment house, the owner shall multiply the amount
established in paragraph (1) of this subsection by:
(i) the number of occupants in the tenant's dwelling unit divided by the
total number of occupants in all dwelling units at the beginning of the
month for which bills are being rendered; or
(ii) the number of occupants in the tenant's dwelling unit using a ratio
occupancy formula divided by the total number of occupants in all
dwelling units at the beginning of the retail public utility's billing period
using the same ratio occupancy formula to determine the total. The
ratio occupancy formula will reflect what the owner believes more
accurately represents the water use in units that are occupied by
multiple tenants. The ratio occupancy formula that is used must
assign a fractional portion per tenant of no less than that on the
following scale:
(1) dwelling unit with one occupant = 1;
(II) dwelling unit with two occupants = 1.6;
(111) dwelling unit with three occupants = 2.2; or
(IV) dwelling unit with more than three occupants = 2.2 + 0.4 per
each additional occupant over three; or
(iii) the average number of occupants per bedroom, which shall be
determined by the following occupancy formula. The formula must
calculate the average number of occupants in all dwelling units based
on the number of bedrooms in the dwelling unit according to the scale
below, notwithstanding the actual number of occupants in each of the
dwelling unit's bedrooms or all dwelling units:
(1) dwelling unit with an efficiency = 1;
(II) dwelling unit with one bedroom = 1.6;
(III) dwelling unit with two bedrooms = 2.8;
(IV) dwelling unit with three bedrooms = 4 + 1.2 for each additional
bedroom; or
(iv) a factor using a combination of square footage and occupancy in
which no more than 50% is based on square footage. The square
footage portion must be based on the total square footage living area
of the dwelling unit as a percentage of the total square footage living
area of all dwelling units of the apartment house; or
(v) the individually submetered hot or cold water usage of the tenant's
dwelling unit divided by all submetered hot or cold water usage in all
dwelling units;
(B) a condominium manager shall multiply the amount established in
paragraph (1) of this subsection by any of the factors under
subparagraph (A) of this paragraph or may follow the methods outlined
in the condominium contract;
(C) for a manufactured home rental community, the owner shall multiply
the amount established in paragraph (1) of this subsection by:
(i) any of the factors developed under subparagraph (A) of this
paragraph; or
(ii) the area of the individual rental space divided by the total area of
all rental spaces; and
(D) for a multiple use facility, the owner shall multiply the amount
established in paragraph (1) of this subsection by:
(i) any of the factors developed under subparagraph (A) of this
paragraph; or
(ii) the square footage of the rental space divided by the total square
footage of all rental spaces.
(3) If a tenant moves in or out during a billing period, the owner may
calculate a bill for the tenant. If the tenant moves in during a billing period,
the owner shall prorate the bill by calculating a bill as if the tenant were
there for the whole month and then charging the tenant for only the number
of days the tenant lived in the unit divided by the number of days in the
month multiplied by the calculated bill. If a tenant moves out during a billing
period before the owner receives the bill for that period from the retail public
utility, the owner may calculate a final bill. The owner may calculate the
tenant's bill by calculating the tenant's average bill for the last three months
and multiplying that average bill by the number of days the tenant was in
the unit divided by the number of days in that month.
(f) Conversion to approved allocation method. An owner using an allocation
formula other than those approved in subsection (a) of this section shall
immediately provide notice as required under §24.279(c) of this title (relating
to Rental Agreement) and either:
(1) adopt one of the methods in subsection (a) of this section; or
(2) install submeters and begin billing on a submetered basis; or
(3) discontinue billing for utility services.
§ 24.283. Billing
(a) Monthly billing of total charges. The owner shall bill the tenant each month
for the total charges calculated under §24.281 of this title (relating to Charges
and Calculations). If it is permitted in the rental agreement, an occupant or
occupants who are not residing in the rental unit for a period longer than 30
days may be excluded from the occupancy calculation and from paying a
water and sewer bill for that period.
(b) Rendering bill.
(1) Allocated bills shall be rendered as promptly as possible afterthe owner
receives the retail public utility bill.
(2) Submeter bills shall be rendered as promptly as possible after the
owner receives the retail public utility bill or according to the time schedule
in the rental agreement if the owner is billing using the retail public utility's
rate.
(c) Submeter reading schedule. Submeters or point -of -use submeters shall
be read within three days of the scheduled reading date of the retail public
utility's master meter or according to the schedule in the rental agreement if
the owner is billing using the retail public utility's rate.
(d) Billing period.
(1) Allocated bills shall be rendered for the same billing period as that of
the retail public utility, generally monthly, unless service is provided for less
than that period.
(2) Submeter bills shall be rendered for the same billing period as that of
the retail public utility, generally monthly, unless service is provided for less
than that period. If the owner uses the retail public utility's actual rate, the
billing period may be an alternate billing period specified in the rental
agreement.
(a) Multi -item bill. If issued on a multi -item bill, charges for submetered or
allocated utility service must be separate and distinct from any other charges
on the bill.
(0 Information on bill. The bill must clearly state that the utility service is
submetered or allocated, as applicable, and must include all of the following:
(1) total amount due for submetered or allocated water;
(2) total amount due for submetered or allocated wastewater;
(3) total amount due for dwelling unit base charge(s) or customer service
charge(s) or both, if applicable;
(4) total amount due for water or wastewater usage, if applicable;
(5) the name of the retail public utility and a statement that the bill is not
from the retail public utility;
(6) name and address of the tenant to whom the bill is applicable;
(7) name of the firm rendering the bill and the name or title, address, and
telephone number of the firm or person to be contacted in case of a billing
dispute; and
(8) name, address, and telephone number of the party to whom payment
is to be made.
(g) Information on submetered service. In addition to the information required
in subsection (f) of this section, a bill for submetered service must include all
of the following:
(1) the total number of gallons, liters, or cubic feet submetered or measured
by point -of -use submeters;
(2) the cost per gallon, liter, or cubic foot for each service provided; and
(3) total amount due for a service charge charged by an owner of a
manufactured home rental community, if applicable.
(h) Due date. The due date on the bill may not be less than 16 days after it is
mailed or hand delivered to the tenant, unless the due date falls on a federal
holiday or weekend, in which case the following work day will be the due date.
The owner shall record the date the bill is mailed or hand delivered. A
payment is delinquent if not received by the due date.
(i) Estimated bill. An estimated bill may be rendered if a master meter,
submeter, or point -of -use submeter has been tampered with, cannot be read,
or is out of order; and in such case, the bill must be distinctly marked as an
estimate and the subsequent bill must reflect an adjustment for actual
charges.
Q) Payment by tenant. Unless utility bills are paid to a third -party billing
company on behalf of the owner, or unless clearly designated by the tenant,
payment must be applied first to rent and then to utilities.
(k) Overbilling and underbilling. If a bill is issued and subsequently found to
be in error, the owner shall calculate a billing adjustment. If the tenant is due
a refund, an adjustment must be calculated for all of that tenant's bills that
Document digitally signed using RentCafe eSignature services. Document ED: 9155139
f►aNyNOZP 10fPa[NWdl
included overcharges. If the overbilling or underbilling affects all tenants, an
adjustment must be calculated for all of the tenants' bills. If the tenant was
undercharged, and the cause was not due to submeter or point -of -use
submeter error, the owner may calculate an adjustment for bills issued in the
previous six months. If the total undercharge is $25 or more, the owner shall
offer the tenant a deferred payment plan option, for the same length of time
as that of the underbilling. Adjustments for usage by a previous tenant may
not be back billed to a current tenant.
(1) Disputed bills. In the event of a dispute between a tenant and an owner
regarding any bill, the owner shall investigate the matter and report the results
of the investigation to the tenant in writing. The investigation and report must
be completed within 30 days from the date the tenant gives written notification
of the dispute to the owner.
(m) Late fee. A one-time penalty not to exceed 5% may be applied to
delinquent accounts. If such a penalty is applied, the bill must indicate the
amount due if the late penalty is incurred. No late penalty may be applied
unless agreed to by the tenant in a written lease that states the percentage
amount of such late penalty.
§ 24.285. Complaint Jurisdiction
(a) Jurisdiction. The commission has exclusive jurisdiction for violations under
this subchapter.
(b) Complaints. If an apartment house owner, condominium manager,
manufactured home rental community owner, or other multiple use facility
owner violates a commission rule regarding utility costs, the person claiming
the violation may file a complaint with the commission and may appear
remotely for a hearing.
§ 24.287. Submeters or Point -of -Use Submeters and Plumbing Fixtures
(a) Submeters or point -of -use submeters.
(1) Same type submeters or point -of -use submeters required. All
submeters or point -of -use submeters throughout a property must use the
same unit of measurement, such as gallon, liter, or cubic foot.
(2) Installation by owner. The owner shall be responsible for providing,
installing, and maintaining all submeters or point -of -use submeters
necessary for the measurement of water to tenants and to common areas,
if applicable.
(3) Submeter or point -of -use submeter tests prior to installation. No
submeter or point -of -use submeter may be placed in service unless its
accuracy has been established. If any submeter or point -of -use submeter
is removed from service, it must be property tested and calibrated before
being placed in service again.
(4) Accuracy requirements for submeters and point -of -use submeters.
Submeters must be calibrated as close as possible to the condition of zero
error and within the accuracy standards established by the American Water
Works Association (AWWA) for water meters. Point -of -use submeters
must be calibrated as closely as possible to the condition of zero error and
within the accuracy standards established by the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers (ASME) for point -of -use and branch -water
submetering systems.
(5) Location of submeters and point -of -use submeters. Submeters and
point -of -use submeters must be installed in accordance with applicable
plumbing codes and AWWA standards for water meters or ASME
standards for point -of -use submeters, and must be readily accessible to
the tenant and to the owner for testing and inspection where such activities
will cause minimum interference and inconvenience to the tenant.
(6) Submeter and point -of -use submeter records. The owner shall maintain
a record on each submeter or point -of -use submeter which includes:
(A) an identifying number;
(B) the installation date (and removal date, if applicable);
(C) date(s) the submeter or point -of -use submeter was calibrated or
tested;
(D) copies of all tests; and
(E) the current location of the submeter or point -of -use submeter.
(7) Submeter or point -of -use submeter test on request of tenant. Upon
receiving a written request from the tenant, the owner shall either:
(A) provide evidence, at no charge to the tenant, that the submeter or
point -of -use submeter was calibrated or tested within the preceding 24
months and determined to be within the accuracy standards established
by the AWWA for water meters or ASME standards for point -of -use
submeters; or
(B) have the submeter or point -of -use submeter removed and tested and
promptly advise the tenant of the test results.
(8) Billing for submeter or point -of -use submeter test.
(A) The owner may not bill the tenant for testing costs if the submeter
fails to meet AWWA accuracy standards for water meters or ASME
standards for point -of -use submeters.
(B) The owner may not bill the tenant for testing costs if there is no
evidence that the submeter or point -of -use submeter was calibrated or
tested within the preceding 24 months.
(C) The owner may bill the tenant for actual testing costs (not to exceed
$25) if the submeter meets AWWA accuracy standards or the point -of -
use submeter meets ASME accuracy standards and evidence as
described in paragraph (7)(A) of this subsection was provided to the
tenant.
(9) Bill adjustment due to submeter or point -of -use submeter error. If a
submeter does not meet AWWA accuracy standards or a point -of -use
submeter does not meet ASME accuracy standards and the tenant was
overbilled, an adjusted bill must be rendered in accordance with §24.283(k)
of this title (relating to Billing). The owner may not charge the tenant for
any underbilling that occurred because the submeter or point -of -use
submeter was in error.
(10) Submeter or point -of -use submeter testing facilities and equipment.
For submeters, an owner shall comply with the AWWA's meter testing
requirements. For point -of -use meters, an owner shall comply with ASME's
meter testing requirements.
(b) Plumbing fixtures. After January 1, 2003, before an owner of an apartment
house, manufactured home rental community, or multiple use facility or a
manager of a condominium may implement a program to bill tenants for
submetered or allocated water service, the owner or manager shall adhere to
the following standards:
(1) Texas Health and Safety Code, §372.002, for sink or lavatory faucets,

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 $ 150.00
❑ effective at time of installation or M effective within 1 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

LEASE ADDENDUM FOR ALLOCATING NATURAL GAS COSTS
1. Addendum. This is an addendum to the TAA Lease Contract for Apt. No. in the
CVIII — CHISHOLM RANCH LLC
Apartments in Fort worth
Texas. The terms of this addendum will control if the terms of the Lease and this addendum conflict.
2. Reason for allocation. When natural gas bills are paid by the property owner, residents have no incentive to conserve
gas and heat. This results in a waste of our state's natural resources and adds to the overhead of the property —and that
usually means higher rents. On the other hand, allocation of gas raises everyone's awareness of the need to conserve gas
and heat and to pay attention to the thermostat and heat loss through open doors or windows. It should therefore minimize
the necessity for rent increases to cover wasteful practices of other residents regarding heating and gas consumption.
3. Your payment due date. Payment of your allocated gas bill is due 16 days after the date it is postmarked or hand delivered
to your apartment. You agree to mail or deliver payment to the place indicated on your bill so that payment is received no later
than the due date. You will pay a late charge of $ (not to exceed $3) if we do not receive timely payment. If
you are late in paying the gas bill, we may not cut off your gas; but we may immediately exercise all other lawful remedies,
including eviction just like late payment of rent.
4. Allocation procedures. Your monthly rent under the TAA Lease Contract does not include a charge for natural gas.
Instead, you will be receiving a separate bill from us each month for gas. We may include this item as a separate and distinct
charge as part of a multi -item bill.
You agree to and we will allocate the monthly gas bill for the apartment community based on the allocation method checked
below.
❑ A percentage reflecting your apartment unit's share of the total square footage in the apartment community, i.e., your
unit's square footage divided by the total square footage in all apartment units.
❑ A percentage reflecting your apartment unit's share of the total number of people living in the apartment community,
i.e., the number of people living in your apartment divided by the total number of people living in the entire apartment
community for the month. ("People" for this purpose are all residents and occupants listed in leases at the apartment
community as having a right to occupy the respective units.)
x❑ Half of your allocation will be based on your apartment unit's share of total square footage and half will be based on your
share of total people living in the apartment community, as described above.
❑ Per dwelling unit
❑ Other formula
S. Common area deduction. Only the total mastermeter gas bill will be allocated. Before the bill is allocated, a deduction
Of 1 percent will be made to cover estimated gas consumption in any common areas, such as: (1) gas dryers and
room heating in laundry rooms; or (2) hot water heating for pools, spas or laundry rooms. Penalties or interest for any late
payment of the mastermeter gas bill by us will be paid for by us and will not be allocated. A nominal administrative fee of
$ 1.50 per month (not to exceed $3) will be added to your bill for processing, billing and/or collecting.
6. Change of allocation formula. The above allocation formula for determining your share of the natural gas bill cannot be
changed except as follows: (1) you receive notice of the new formula at least 35 days before it takes effect; and (2) you agree
to the change in a signed lease renewal or signed mutual agreement.
Z. Right to examine records. You may examine our gas bills from the utility company and our calculations relating to the
monthly allocation of the gas bills during regular weekday office hours. Please give us reasonable advance notice to gather
the data.

lease renewal concession.
3. Payment or repayment for breach. If you move out or terminate your TAA Lease Contract early, in violation of the TAA
Lease Contract, you forfeit the concession or credit received under this addendum.

the sole responsibility of residents, occupants, and law enforcement agencies. You should first call 911 or other appropriate
emergency police numbers if a crime occurs or is suspected. We are not liable to any resident, guest, occupant, or invitee

access gates, and/or pedestrian access gates. We reserve the right to modify or eliminate security systems other than those
statutorily required.

LEASE ADDENDUM FOR AUTOMATED ELECTRONIC PAYMENT OF RENT AND CERTAIN OTHER ITEMS
1. Addendum. This is an addendum to the TAA Lease Contract for Apt. No. in the
CVIII - CHISHOLM RANCH LLC
Apartments in Fort Worth
Texas. The terms of this addendum will control if the terms of the Lease and this addendum conflict.
2. Automated electronic payments. "Automated electronic payments" include "Automated Clearing House" (ACH) and "Credit and
Debit Card" (Card) transactions. ACH refers to the nationwide network of banking institutions that have agreed to process electronic
payments automatically from your bank account to our bank accounts. Virtually all banks and credit unions participate. "Card" refers to
credit and debit card transactions, including those cards bearing the Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express logos. Collectively
"automated electronic payments" are paperless transactions that occur instantly and automatically without a check being hand -processed
through a local bank clearinghouse or the Federal Reserve System.
3. Advantages. There are significant advantages for you in paying your rent via automated electronic payments. They include:
• greater convenience since you won't have to worry each month with writing, mailing or delivering a rent check;
• no late charges since your rent will always be paid timely, assuming there are sufficient funds in your checking account;
• greater security since there is no chance that a check signed by you will fall into the wrong hands or get lost in the mail; and
• proof that you've paid since your bank statement is evidence of payment according to ACH and card network rules.
4. ACH payment authorization. By initialing here and executing this addendum, you are
agreeing that your rent payment or other payments as authorized by you will be collected automatically each month via ACH by debiting
(charging) your checking account electronically, in the case of your rent payment, on the same day of the month that your rent is due under
your TAA Lease Contract, and in the case of other payments, on the date(s) you authorized by separate agreement.
S. Card payment authorization. By initialing here and executing this addendum, you are
agreeing that your rent payment or other payments as authorized by you will be collected automatically each month by charging your credit
or debit card electronically, in the case of your rent payment, on the same day of the month that your rent is due under your TAA Lease
Contract, and in the case of other payments, on the date(s) you authorized by separate agreement.
6. Other non -rent items. Payment to us for other amounts (such as NSF charges, damages, or charges related to unauthorized animals,
etc.) may be mailed to us, deposited in our onsite drop box (if any), or delivered in person. Such other payments will not be processed by
Card or ACH electronic transfer except with your approval given at the time of each payment.
7. Your right to opt out. You have the right at any time to give us written notice of your decision to revoke your authorization for the ACH
or Card method of payment and to thereafter pay by regular check, certified check, or money order according to the TAA Lease Contract.
8. Delinquency. As long as your rent payments via ACH or Card are authorized and settled, you may continue ACH or Card payment of
your rent and enjoy any special considerations specified in paragraph 11 of this addendum. If any ACH or Card rent payment does not
clear, it will be treated as a default Oust like an NSF check) under the TAA Lease Contract. We have the right at any time to require you to
pay all future rent payments by regular check, certified check or money order, as per the TAA Lease Contract, in lieu of payment through
ACH or Card.
9. Multiple residents. If there are two or more residents on the TAA Lease Contract and if we accept multiple checks, each of you
authorize us to process your rent payment through ACH or Card as it becomes due, as follows:
Each resident's printed name Each resident's portion of the total monthly rent payment
$
Each co -resident of the unit must sign the attached form that authorizes automatic electronic payments through ACH or Card. This
addendum does not alter the provisions in the TAA Lease Contract regarding joint and several liability if there are multiple residents.
10. ACH and Card rules. We, as owners, agree to comply with all ACH and Card rules and operating regulations of the credit associations
and networks.
11. Special provisions.

DISCUSSION:
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.

activities and proposed expenditures for the program year beginning October 1, 2023 and ending
September 30, 2024 for use of federal grant funds totaling $13,452,621.00 from the United States
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) from the Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and

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.
Mayor & Council Communication (M&C) 22-0569 dated August 9, 2022 increased the annual funding
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.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the
attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating budget, as appropriated,
of the Grants Operating Federal Fund. The Neighborhood Services Department (and Financial
Management Services) will be responsible for the collection and deposit of funds due to the City. Prior to
an expenditure being incurred, the Neighborhood Services Department has the responsibility to validate
the availability of funds. This is a reimbursement grant.
