3. COMPENSATION.
3.1 Security Den_ osit
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
the full amount of the balance to the Tenant.
The named Tenant may be eligible for security deposit payment assistance payable to
Landlord. In the event that the City pays the security deposit for the Unit on behalf of the Tenant
under a federally funded program (including the Permanent Housing Placement Program), after
deducting the amount used as reimbursement to the Landlord, the Landlord will promptly refund
the full amount of the balance to the City in accordance with HUD regulations. This does not limit
Landlord's right to withhold any portion of the deposit that would normally be withheld at
termination under the terms of the underlying lease. Based upon the City's review, City will pay a
$1,675.00 security deposit, to be paid directly to the Landlord.
The Landlord shall immediately notify the City when the Tenant has moved from the Unit.
3.2 Rent and Amounts Pavable by City

shall be responsible for $0.00 of prorated rent per month for the Unit. From March 1,
2024 to March 31, 2025, Tenant shall be responsible for $783.00 of rent per month for the
Unit. From April 1, 2025 to April 4, 2025, Tenant shall be responsible for $104.00 prorated

claim by Landlord against Tenant. The City's sole obligation is limited to paying the City

and other fees associated with the Unit and City shall not be obligated by law or in equity for
any amount other than the City Portion.

Landlord. The amount of the allowance has been calculated utilizing the Utility Allowance
Schedule established by the Tarrant County Housing Assistance Office/Fort Worth Housing
Solutions. Based upon the City's review, during the Initial Term, City will pay no more than $0.00
utility reimbursement per month toward the Tenant's utility payments, to be paid directly to the

Clearing House network) provide more protection against theft and fraud and can be processed
more quickly by the City.
If Landlord registers to be paid under this Agreement electronically, City payments will
generally be made on or about the first day of the month for which the payment is due. Payments
for the first month may be somewhat delayed as a result of the registration and initial set-up
process.
If Landlord requests payment under this Agreement by paper check, City payments will be
made as promptly as possible following the first day of the month for which payment is due. If
Landlord request payment by check, Landlord assumes all liabilities related to theft, fraud, and
late payments.
If Landlord elects to receive electronic payments, Landlord will not assess any late fee
against Tenant or City for late payments by City so long as payments are made within thirty (30)
days of the day payment is due. If Landlord elects to receive payment by paper check, under no
circumstances shall late fees be assessed against Tenant or City for late payment by the City.
3.2.5 Overpayments. If the City determines that the Landlord is not entitled to any
payments received, in addition to other remedies the City may deduct the amount of the

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; (B) 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."

it does not mean that the dwelling contains lead -based paint (LOP). The brochure was written In general terms and applies to both home purchasers
and renters. The information outlines action that can be taken to test for, remove or abate LOP in a dwelling. The TAA Lease Contract ("Lease") specifically
prohibits a resident from performing this type ofwork—only the dwelling owner may do so under the Lease. If you have any questions about the presence
of LBP in your dwelling, please contact the owner or management company before taking any action to test, abate or remove LOP. NOTE: Page references

Simple Steps to Protect Your Family
from Lead Hazards
If you think your home has lead -based paint:
• Don't try to remove lead -based paint yourself.
• Always keep painted surfaces In good condition to minimize
deterioration.
• Get your home checked for lead hazards. Find a certified
inspector or risk assessor at epa.gov/lead.
• Talk to your landlord about fixing surfaces with peeling or
chipping paint.
• Regularly clean floors, window sills, and other surfaces.
• Take precautions to avoid exposure to lead dust when
remodeling.
• When renovating, repairing, or painting, hire only EPA- or state -
approved Lead -Safe certified renovation firms.
• Before buying, renting, or renovating your home, have it
checked for lead -based paint.
• Consult your health care provider about testing your children
for lead. Your pediatrician can check for lead with a simple
blood test.
• Wash children's hands, bottles, pacifiers, and toys often.
• Make sure children eat healthy, low -fat foods high In iron,
calcium, and vitamin C.
• Remove shoes or wipe soil off shoes before entering your
house.
Lead Gets into the Body in Many Ways
Adults and children can get lead into their bodies if they:
• Breathe in lead dust (especially during activities such as renovations,
repairs, or painting that disturb painted surfaces).
• Swallow lead dust that has settled on food, food preparation surfaces,
and other places.
• Eat paint chips or soil that contains lead.
Lead is especially dangerous to children under the age of 6.
• At this age, children's brains
and nervous systems are
more sensitive to the
damaging effects of lead.
• Children's growing bodies
absorb more lead.
• Babies and young children
often put their hands
and other objects in their
mouths.These objects can
have lead dust on them.
Women of childbearing age should know that lead is dangerous to
a developing fetus.
• Women with a high lead level in theirsystem before or during
pregnancy risk exposing the fetus to lead through the placenta
during fetal development.

Where Lead -Based Paint Is Found
In general, the olderyour home or childcare facility, the more likely it
has lead -based paint'
Many homes, including private, federally -assisted, federally -
owned housing, and childcare facilities built before 1978 have
lead -based paint. In 1978, the federal government banned consumer
uses of lead -containing paint'
Learn how to determine if paint Is lead -based painton page 7.
Lead can be found:
In homes and childcare facilities in the city, country, or suburbs,
• In private and public single-family homes and apartments,
On surfaces inside and outside ofthe house, and
In soil around a home. (Soil can pickup lead from exterior paint or
other sources, such as past use of leaded gas in cars.)
Learn more about where lead Is found at epa.gov/lead.
Get your children and home tested if you think your home has
lead.
Children's blood lead levels tend to increase rapidly from 6 to 12
months of age, and tend to peak at 18 to 24 months of age.
Consult your doctor for advice on testing your children. A simple blood
test can detect lead. Blood lead tests are usually recommended for:
Children at ages 1 and 2
Children or other family members who have been exposed to high
levels of lead
Children who should be tested under your state or local health
screening plan
Your doctor can explain what the test results mean and if more
testing will be needed.

Identifying Lead -Based Paint
and Lead -Based Paint Hazards
Deteriorated lead -based paint (peeling, chipping, chalking,
cracking, or damaged paint) is a hazard and needs immediate
attention. Lead -based paint may also be a hazard when found on
surfaces that children can chew or that get a lot of wear and tear,
such as:
On windows and window sills
• Doors and door frames
Stairs, railings, banisters, and porches
Lead -based paint is usually not a hazard if it is in good condition
and if it Is not on an impact or friction surface like a window.
Lead dust can form when lead -based paint is scraped, sanded, or
heated. Lead dust also forms when painted surfaces containing
lead bump or rub together. Lead paint chips and dust can get on
surfaces and objects that people touch. Settled lead dust can reenter
the air when the home is vacuumed or swept, or when people walk
through it. EPA currently defines the following levels of lead in dust as
hazardous:
10 micrograms per square foot (µg/ft') and higher for Floors,
Including carpeted floors
• 100µg/ftzand higher for interior windowsills
Lead in soil can be a hazard when children play in bare soil or when
people bring soil into the house on their shoes. EPA currently defines
the following levels of lead in sell as hazardous:
• 400 parts per million (ppm) and higher in play areas of bare soil
1,200 ppm (average) and higher in bare soil In the remainder
of the yard

Checking Your Home for Lead
You can get your home tested for lead in several different ways:
A lead -based paint Inspection tells you if your home has lead -
based paint and where it is located. It won't tell you Whether your
home currently has lead hazards. A trained and certified testing
professional, called a lead -based paint
Inspector, will conduct a paint inspection
using methods, such as:
Portable x-ray fluorescence (XRF) machine
Lab tests of paint samples
A risk assessment tells you if your home
currently has any lead hazards from lead
In paint, dust, or soil. It also tells you what
actions to take to address any hazards. A
trained and certified testing professional,
called a risk assessor, will:
Sample paint that Is deteriorated on doors, windows, floors, stairs,
and walls
Sample dust near painted surfaces and sample bare soil in the
yard
Get lab tests of paint, dust, and soil samples
A combination inspection and risk assessment tells you if your home
has any lead -based paint and if your home has any lead hazards, and
where both are located.
Be sure to read the report provided to you after your inspection or risk
assessment is completed, and ask questions about anything you do not
understand.
What You Can Do Now to Protect Your Family
If you suspect that your house has lead -based paint hazards, you
can take some immediate steps to reduce your family's risk:
If you rent, notify your landlord of peeling or chipping paint.
Keep painted surfaces clean and free of dust. Clean floors, window
frames, windowsills, and other surfaces weekly. Use a mop or sponge
with warm water and a general all-purpose cleaner. (Remember:
never mix ammonia and bleach products together because they can
form a dangerous gas.)
Carefully clean up paint chips immediately without creating dust.
Thoroughly rinse sponges and mop heads often during cleaning of
dirty or dusty areas, and again afterward.
Wash your hands and your children's hands often, especially before
they eat and before nap time and bed time.
Keep play areas clean. Wash bottles, pacifiers, toys, and stuffed
animals regularly.
Keep children from chewing window sills or other painted surfaces, or
eating soil.
When renovating, repairing, or painting, hire only EPA- or state -
approved Lead -Safe Certified renovation firms (see page 12).
Clean or remove shoes before entering your home to avoid tracking
In lead from soil.
Make sure children eat nutritious, low -fat meals high In iron, and
calcium, such as spinach and dairy products. Children with good diets
absorb less lead.
Checking Your Home for Lead, continued
In preparing for renovation, repair, or painting work Ina pre-1978
home, Lead -Safe Certified renovators (see page 12) may:
• Take paint chip samples to determine if lead -based paint is
present in the area planned for renovation and send them to an
EPA -recognized lead lab for analysis. In housing receiving federal
assistance, the person collecting these samples must be a certified
lead -based paint Inspector or risk assessor
- Use EPA -recognized tests kits to determine if lead -based paint Is
absent (but not in housing receiving federal assistance)
Presume that lead -based paint is present and use lead -safe work
practices
There are state and federal programs in place to ensure that testing is
done safely, reliably, and effectively. Contact your state or local agency
for more information, visit epa.gov/lead, or call 1-800-424-LEAD

In addition to day-to-day cleaning
and good nutrition, you can
temporarily reduce lead -based paint
hazards by taking actions, such as I

repairing damaged painted surfaces
and planting grass to cover lead -
contaminated soll.These actions are
not permanent solutions and will need
ongoing attention.
• You can minimize exposure to lead
when renovating, repairing, or painting by hiring an EPA- or state -
certified renovator who is trained in the use of lead -safe work
practices. If you are a do-it-yourselfer, learn how to use lead —safe
work practices in your home.
• To remove lead hazards permanently, you should hire a certified lead
abatement contractor. Abatement (or permanent hazard elimination)
methods include removing, sealing, or enclosing lead -based paint
with special materials. Just painting over the hazard with regular
paint Is not permanent control.
Always use a certified contractor who Is trained to address lead
hazards safely.
Hire a Lead -Safe Certified firm (see page 12) to perform renovation,
repair, or painting (RRP) projects that disturb painted surfaces.
To correct lead hazards permanently, hire a certified lead abatement
contractor.This will ensure your contractor knows how to work safely
and has the proper equipment to clean up thoroughly.
Certified contractors will employ qualified workers and follow strict
safety rules as set by their state or by the federal government.

Renovating, Repairing or Painting a Home
with Lead -Based Paint
If your home has had lead abatement work done or if the housing Is
receiving federal assistance, once the work is completed, dust cleanup
activities must be conducted until clearance testing Indicates that lead
dust levels are below the following levels:
10 micrograms per square foot (µg/ftz) for floors, including carpeted
floors
100 µg/ftz for interior windows sills
400 µg/ftz for window troughs
Abatements are designed to permanently eliminate lead -based
paint hazards, However, lead dust can be reintroduced into an
abated area.
• Use a HEPA vacuum on all furniture and other items returned to the
area, to reduce the potential for reintroducing lead dust.
• Regularly clean floors, window sills, troughs, and other hard surfaces
with a damp cloth or sponge and a general all-purpose cleaner.
Please see page 9 for more information on steps you can take to
protect your home after the abatement. For help In locating certified
lead abatement professionals in your area, call your state or local
agency (see pages 15 and 16), epa.gov/lead, or call 1-800-424-LEAD.
Other Sources of Lead
Lead in Drinking Water
The most common sources of lead in drinking water are lead pipes,
faucets, and fixtures.
Lead pipes are more likely to be found In older cities and homes built
before 1986.
You can't smell or taste lead in drinking water.
To find out for certain if you have lead in drinking water, have your
water tested.
Remember older homes with a private well can also have plumbing
materials that contain lead.
Important Steps You Can Take to Reduce Lead in Drinking Water
Use only cold water for drinking, cooking and making baby formula.
Remember, boiling water does not remove lead from water.
Before drinking, flush your homes pipes by running the tap, taking a
shower, doing laundry, or doing a load of dishes.
Regularly clean your faucet's screen (also known as an aerator).
Ifyou use a filter certified to remove lead, don't forget to read the
directions to learn when to change the cartridge. Using a filter after it
has expired can make it less effective at removing lead.
Contact your water company to determine If the pipe that connects
your home to the water main (called a service line) Is made from lead.
Your area's water company can also provide Information about the lead
levels in your systems drinking water.
For more information about lead in drinking water, please contact
EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791. If you have other
questions about lead poisoning prevention, call 1-800424-LEAD.*
Call your local health department or water company to find out about
testing your water, or visit epa.gov/safewater for EPA's lead In drinking
water information. Some states or utilities offer programs to pay for
water testing for residents. Contact your state or local water company
to learn more.

RAP contractors working in pre-1978 homes and childcare facilities
must follow lead -safe work practices that:
• Contain the work area.The area must be contained so that dust and
debris do not escape from the work area. Warning signs must be put
up, and plastic or other impermeable material and tape must be used,
• Avoid renovation methods that generate large amounts of
lead -contaminated dust. Some methods generate so much lead -
contaminated dust that their use Is prohibited.They are:
Open -flame burning or torching
• Sanding, grinding, planing, needle gunning, or blasting with
power tools and equipment not equipped with a shroud and
HEPA vacuum attachment
• Using a heat gun at temperatures greater than 1100•F
Cleanup thoroughly. The work area should be cleaned up daily.
When all the work Is done, the area must be cleaned up using special
cleaning methods.
Dispose of waste properly. Collect and seal waste In a heavy duty
bag or sheeting. When transported, ensure thatwaste is contained to
prevent release of dust and debris.

EASE ADDENDUM FOR ALLOCATING WATER/WASTEWATER COSTS
Addendum. This is an addendum to the TAA Lease Contract for Apt. No. in the
Apartments in Arlington
Texas. The terms of this addendum will control if the terms of the Lease and this addendum conflict.
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.
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.
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):
M 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);
❑ 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 12 day of the month. Within 10 days thereafter, we will try to allocate that mastermeter bill among our residents by
allocated billings.
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.
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.
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 $ 71.86 per unit, varying from $ 2.06 to $ 242.98 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.
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.
i. PUC. Water allocation billing is regulated by the PUC. A copy of the rules is attached. This addendum complies with those
rules.
.o.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.

the owner shall provide a copy of this subchapter or a copy of the rules to the
tenant to Inform the tenant of his rights and the owner's responsibilities under
this subchapter.
(c) Tenant agreement to billing method changes. An owner shall not change

(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 owners 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 utility's 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 residentresides in a unitofan apartment house that has received
an allocation of low Income housing tax credits under Texas
Government Code, Chapter2306, SubchapterDD; or
(8) 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) Calcdlatlons 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
(8) 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;
(ill) 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
IV I Blue Moon eSignature Services Document ID:419995466
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
(il) 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 uUlity 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;
(III) 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
(ill) 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;
(111) dwelling unit with two bedrooms = 2.8;
(IV) dwelling unitwith 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:
(1) any of the factors developed under subparagraph (A) of this
paragraph; or
(11) 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:
(1) any of the factors developed under subparagraph (A) of this
paragraph; or
(il) 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
therefor 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 forthe 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

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.

INSURANCE ADDENDUM
1. Addendum. This is an addendum to the TAA Lease Contract for Apt. No. in the
Apartments in
Texas OR
the house, duplex, etc. located at (street address)
, Texas. -
The terms of this addendum will control if the term of the Lease and this addendum conflict.
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.
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 $
(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 THATTHE REQUIRED INSURANCE POLICY UNDERTHIS 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]

Insurance Placement Addendum
This addendum is incorporated into the Lease Contract (the "Lease') identified below and is in addition to all
the terms and conditions contained in the Lease. If any terms of this Addendum conflict with the Lease, the terms
of this Addendum shall be controlling:
Property Owner: Arbrook Park Gardens, LP
Resident(s):
Address/Apartment
Lease Date: 02/05/2024
Resident acknowledges keys will not be issued for occupancy without prior proof of Liability or a Renters
Insurance Policy from all Leaseholders and Harbor Group Management Co., LLC named an interested party
with a minimum $100000.00 liability coverage. Although Resident is only required to meet the
$100000.00 per occurrence liability insurance requirement, it is highly recommended that Resident
purchase insurance that covers their personal belongings.
Resident acknowledges that failure to supply proof of and maintain the Insurance Requirement and meet
other requirements as outlined- in this Addendum shall be deemed a Default under the Lease. In such event,
Landlord will send a written notice demanding that Resident cure the Default by procuring the required
insurance coverage and supplying evidence of coverage to Landlord. Landlord shall have available to it all
Remedies described in Section six (6) of the Apartment Lease Contract in the event of any
such Default concerning Resident's failure to comply with the Insurance Requirement.
Without in any way limiting the foregoing, if Resident fails to supply evidence of compliance with the
Insurance Requirement to Landlord by the date set forth in Landlord's notice, Landlord shall have the right,
but not the obligation, to procure liability only insurance coverage on Resident's behalf on a monthly basis,
and to charge Resident for the amount of the premium paid to the insurance company plus an additional
administrative fee of not more than $10.00 per month. The monthly premium and additional
administrative fee will be considered additional rent under the Lease and will be charged to Resident on a
monthly basis for as long as Resident is a lessee of the Apartment Home and for as long as Resident fails to
provide Landlord with evidence of compliance with the Insurance Requirement. Resident acknowledges that
once the premium paid to the insurance company plus an additional administrative fee is charged to the
resident, the cost is non-refundable.
Resident acknowledges that the coverage Landlord obtains as a result of Resident's failure to provide
evidence of compliance with the Insurance Requirement may cost more than other insurance coverage the
Resident can purchase elsewhere and may not provide as much coverage as Resident may choose to purchase
for his/herself. Resident acknowledges that the insurance purchased by Landlord will NOT cover Resident's
personal contents.
If Resident provides evidence of compliance with the Insurance Requirement, the charge for the insurance
obtained by Landlord and the additional monthly administrative fee will cease based on Landlord's insurance
enrollment schedule, but in no event more than 7 days after Resident provides evidence of
compliance with the Insurance Requirement. Resident acknowledges and agrees that the administrative fee
for purchasing such insurance is a fair and reasonable estimate of the administrative costs Landlord will
incur as a result of procuring the liability only insurance coverage for Resident.

2. About Mold. Mold is found everywhere in our environment, both
indoors and outdoors and in both new and old structures. To avoid
mold growth, it's important to prevent excess moisture buildup
in your dwelling. Promptly notify us in writing about any air-condi-
tioning or heating -system problems and any signs of water leaks,
water infiltration or mold. We will respond in accordance with state
law and the Lease to repair or remedy the situation.
'hd us
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. When the surface is dry —and
within 24 hours of cleaning —apply a premixed spray -on household
biocide.
Do not clean or apply biocides to visible mold on porous sur-
faces such as sheetrock walls or ceilings or to large areas of visible
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 natu-
ral disasters.
If you fail to comply with this addendum, you can be held respon-
sible for property damage to the dwelling and any health problems
that may result.

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 till, 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.

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

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.
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.

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.
i. 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.
! 0. Security deposit. Your security deposit (in your Lease Contract) is increased by an additional reasonable sum of $ 100.00
❑ effective at time of installation or ® effective within 7 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 drifted through wails 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;

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.

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.
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.

FLOOD DISCLOSURE NOTICE
In accordance with Texas law, we are providing the following flood disclosure:
• We 17 are or 0 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, (B) 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."

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO RESIDENTS: The following information is taken from a brochure entitled "Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home" prepared
by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
While the information must be distributed to residents before they become obligated under the lease for most types of housing built before 1970,
it does not mean that the dwelling contains lead -based paint (LOP). The brochure was written In general terms and applies to both home purchasers
and renters. The information outlines action that can be taken to test for, remove or abate LOP in a dwelling. The TAA Lease Contract ("Lease") specifically
prohibits a resident from performing this type ofwork—only the dwelling owner may do so under the Lease. If you have any questions about the presence
of LBP in your dwelling, please contact the owner or management company before taking any action to test, abate or remove LOP. NOTE: Page references

Simple Steps to Protect Your Family
from Lead Hazards
If you think your home has lead -based paint:
• Don't try to remove lead -based paint yourself.
• Always keep painted surfaces In good condition to minimize
deterioration.
• Get your home checked for lead hazards. Find a certified
inspector or risk assessor at epa.gov/lead.
• Talk to your landlord about fixing surfaces with peeling or
chipping paint.
• Regularly clean floors, window sills, and other surfaces.
• Take precautions to avoid exposure to lead dust when
remodeling.
• When renovating, repairing, or painting, hire only EPA- or state -
approved Lead -Safe certified renovation firms.
• Before buying, renting, or renovating your home, have it
checked for lead -based paint.
• Consult your health care provider about testing your children
for lead. Your pediatrician can check for lead with a simple
blood test.
• Wash children's hands, bottles, pacifiers, and toys often.
• Make sure children eat healthy, low -fat foods high In iron,
calcium, and vitamin C.
• Remove shoes or wipe soil off shoes before entering your
house.
Lead Gets into the Body in Many Ways
Adults and children can get lead into their bodies if they:
• Breathe in lead dust (especially during activities such as renovations,
repairs, or painting that disturb painted surfaces).
• Swallow lead dust that has settled on food, food preparation surfaces,
and other places.
• Eat paint chips or soil that contains lead.
Lead is especially dangerous to children under the age of 6.
• At this age, children's brains
and nervous systems are
more sensitive to the
damaging effects of lead.
• Children's growing bodies
absorb more lead.
• Babies and young children
often put their hands
and other objects in their
mouths.These objects can
have lead dust on them.
Women of childbearing age should know that lead is dangerous to
a developing fetus.
• Women with a high lead level in theirsystem before or during
pregnancy risk exposing the fetus to lead through the placenta
during fetal development.

Where Lead -Based Paint Is Found
In general, the olderyour home or childcare facility, the more likely it
has lead -based paint'
Many homes, including private, federally -assisted, federally -
owned housing, and childcare facilities built before 1978 have
lead -based paint. In 1978, the federal government banned consumer
uses of lead -containing paint'
Learn how to determine if paint Is lead -based painton page 7.
Lead can be found:
In homes and childcare facilities in the city, country, or suburbs,
• In private and public single-family homes and apartments,
On surfaces inside and outside ofthe house, and
In soil around a home. (Soil can pickup lead from exterior paint or
other sources, such as past use of leaded gas in cars.)
Learn more about where lead Is found at epa.gov/lead.
Get your children and home tested if you think your home has
lead.
Children's blood lead levels tend to increase rapidly from 6 to 12
months of age, and tend to peak at 18 to 24 months of age.
Consult your doctor for advice on testing your children. A simple blood
test can detect lead. Blood lead tests are usually recommended for:
Children at ages 1 and 2
Children or other family members who have been exposed to high
levels of lead
Children who should be tested under your state or local health
screening plan
Your doctor can explain what the test results mean and if more
testing will be needed.

Identifying Lead -Based Paint
and Lead -Based Paint Hazards
Deteriorated lead -based paint (peeling, chipping, chalking,
cracking, or damaged paint) is a hazard and needs immediate
attention. Lead -based paint may also be a hazard when found on
surfaces that children can chew or that get a lot of wear and tear,
such as:
On windows and window sills
• Doors and door frames
Stairs, railings, banisters, and porches
Lead -based paint is usually not a hazard if it is in good condition
and if it Is not on an impact or friction surface like a window.
Lead dust can form when lead -based paint is scraped, sanded, or
heated. Lead dust also forms when painted surfaces containing
lead bump or rub together. Lead paint chips and dust can get on
surfaces and objects that people touch. Settled lead dust can reenter
the air when the home is vacuumed or swept, or when people walk
through it. EPA currently defines the following levels of lead in dust as
hazardous:
10 micrograms per square foot (µg/ft') and higher for Floors,
Including carpeted floors
• 100µg/ftzand higher for interior windowsills
Lead in soil can be a hazard when children play in bare soil or when
people bring soil into the house on their shoes. EPA currently defines
the following levels of lead in sell as hazardous:
• 400 parts per million (ppm) and higher in play areas of bare soil
1,200 ppm (average) and higher in bare soil In the remainder
of the yard

Checking Your Home for Lead
You can get your home tested for lead in several different ways:
A lead -based paint Inspection tells you if your home has lead -
based paint and where it is located. It won't tell you Whether your
home currently has lead hazards. A trained and certified testing
professional, called a lead -based paint
Inspector, will conduct a paint inspection
using methods, such as:
Portable x-ray fluorescence (XRF) machine
Lab tests of paint samples
A risk assessment tells you if your home
currently has any lead hazards from lead
In paint, dust, or soil. It also tells you what
actions to take to address any hazards. A
trained and certified testing professional,
called a risk assessor, will:
Sample paint that Is deteriorated on doors, windows, floors, stairs,
and walls
Sample dust near painted surfaces and sample bare soil in the
yard
Get lab tests of paint, dust, and soil samples
A combination inspection and risk assessment tells you if your home
has any lead -based paint and if your home has any lead hazards, and
where both are located.
Be sure to read the report provided to you after your inspection or risk
assessment is completed, and ask questions about anything you do not
understand.
What You Can Do Now to Protect Your Family
If you suspect that your house has lead -based paint hazards, you
can take some immediate steps to reduce your family's risk:
If you rent, notify your landlord of peeling or chipping paint.
Keep painted surfaces clean and free of dust. Clean floors, window
frames, windowsills, and other surfaces weekly. Use a mop or sponge
with warm water and a general all-purpose cleaner. (Remember:
never mix ammonia and bleach products together because they can
form a dangerous gas.)
Carefully clean up paint chips immediately without creating dust.
Thoroughly rinse sponges and mop heads often during cleaning of
dirty or dusty areas, and again afterward.
Wash your hands and your children's hands often, especially before
they eat and before nap time and bed time.
Keep play areas clean. Wash bottles, pacifiers, toys, and stuffed
animals regularly.
Keep children from chewing window sills or other painted surfaces, or
eating soil.
When renovating, repairing, or painting, hire only EPA- or state -
approved Lead -Safe Certified renovation firms (see page 12).
Clean or remove shoes before entering your home to avoid tracking
In lead from soil.
Make sure children eat nutritious, low -fat meals high In iron, and
calcium, such as spinach and dairy products. Children with good diets
absorb less lead.
Checking Your Home for Lead, continued
In preparing for renovation, repair, or painting work Ina pre-1978
home, Lead -Safe Certified renovators (see page 12) may:
• Take paint chip samples to determine if lead -based paint is
present in the area planned for renovation and send them to an
EPA -recognized lead lab for analysis. In housing receiving federal
assistance, the person collecting these samples must be a certified
lead -based paint Inspector or risk assessor

spreading even more lead dust around (>
the house. -
In addition to day-to-day cleaning
and good nutrition, you can
temporarily reduce lead -based paint
hazards by taking actions, such as I
r
repairing damaged painted surfaces
and planting grass to cover lead -
contaminated soll.These actions are
not permanent solutions and will need
ongoing attention.
• You can minimize exposure to lead
when renovating, repairing, or painting by hiring an EPA- or state -
certified renovator who is trained in the use of lead -safe work
practices. If you are a do-it-yourselfer, learn how to use lead —safe
work practices in your home.
• To remove lead hazards permanently, you should hire a certified lead
abatement contractor. Abatement (or permanent hazard elimination)
methods include removing, sealing, or enclosing lead -based paint
with special materials. Just painting over the hazard with regular
paint Is not permanent control.
Always use a certified contractor who Is trained to address lead
hazards safely.
Hire a Lead -Safe Certified firm (see page 12) to perform renovation,
repair, or painting (RRP) projects that disturb painted surfaces.
To correct lead hazards permanently, hire a certified lead abatement
contractor.This will ensure your contractor knows how to work safely
and has the proper equipment to clean up thoroughly.
Certified contractors will employ qualified workers and follow strict
safety rules as set by their state or by the federal government.

Renovating, Repairing or Painting a Home
with Lead -Based Paint
If your home has had lead abatement work done or if the housing Is
receiving federal assistance, once the work is completed, dust cleanup
activities must be conducted until clearance testing Indicates that lead
dust levels are below the following levels:
10 micrograms per square foot (µg/ftz) for floors, including carpeted
floors
100 µg/ftz for interior windows sills
400 µg/ftz for window troughs
Abatements are designed to permanently eliminate lead -based
paint hazards, However, lead dust can be reintroduced into an
abated area.
• Use a HEPA vacuum on all furniture and other items returned to the
area, to reduce the potential for reintroducing lead dust.
• Regularly clean floors, window sills, troughs, and other hard surfaces
with a damp cloth or sponge and a general all-purpose cleaner.
Please see page 9 for more information on steps you can take to
protect your home after the abatement. For help In locating certified
lead abatement professionals in your area, call your state or local
agency (see pages 15 and 16), epa.gov/lead, or call 1-800-424-LEAD.
Other Sources of Lead
Lead in Drinking Water
The most common sources of lead in drinking water are lead pipes,
faucets, and fixtures.
Lead pipes are more likely to be found In older cities and homes built
before 1986.
You can't smell or taste lead in drinking water.
To find out for certain if you have lead in drinking water, have your
water tested.
Remember older homes with a private well can also have plumbing
materials that contain lead.
Important Steps You Can Take to Reduce Lead in Drinking Water
Use only cold water for drinking, cooking and making baby formula.
Remember, boiling water does not remove lead from water.
Before drinking, flush your homes pipes by running the tap, taking a
shower, doing laundry, or doing a load of dishes.
Regularly clean your faucet's screen (also known as an aerator).
Ifyou use a filter certified to remove lead, don't forget to read the
directions to learn when to change the cartridge. Using a filter after it
has expired can make it less effective at removing lead.
Contact your water company to determine If the pipe that connects
your home to the water main (called a service line) Is made from lead.
Your area's water company can also provide Information about the lead
levels in your systems drinking water.
For more information about lead in drinking water, please contact
EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791. If you have other
questions about lead poisoning prevention, call 1-800424-LEAD.*
Call your local health department or water company to find out about
testing your water, or visit epa.gov/safewater for EPA's lead In drinking
water information. Some states or utilities offer programs to pay for
water testing for residents. Contact your state or local water company
to learn more.

• Contain the work area.The area must be contained so that dust and
debris do not escape from the work area. Warning signs must be put
up, and plastic or other impermeable material and tape must be used,
• Avoid renovation methods that generate large amounts of
lead -contaminated dust. Some methods generate so much lead -
contaminated dust that their use Is prohibited.They are:
Open -flame burning or torching
• Sanding, grinding, planing, needle gunning, or blasting with
power tools and equipment not equipped with a shroud and
HEPA vacuum attachment
• Using a heat gun at temperatures greater than 1100•F
Cleanup thoroughly. The work area should be cleaned up daily.
When all the work Is done, the area must be cleaned up using special
cleaning methods.
Dispose of waste properly. Collect and seal waste In a heavy duty
bag or sheeting. When transported, ensure thatwaste is contained to
prevent release of dust and debris.

utilities. If we fail to timely repair a condition that
materially affects the physical health orsafety of an
ordinary resident as required by the Texas Property Code,

EASE ADDENDUM FOR ALLOCATING WATER/WASTEWATER COSTS
Addendum. This is an addendum to the TAA Lease Contract for Apt. No. 0925 in the
Arbrook Park Gardens, LP
Apartments in Arlington
Texas. The terms of this addendum will control if the terms of the Lease and this addendum conflict.
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.
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.
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):
M 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);
❑ 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 12 day of the month. Within 10 days thereafter, we will try to allocate that mastermeter bill among our residents by
allocated billings.
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.
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.
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 $ 71.86 per unit, varying from $ 2.06 to $ 242.98 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.
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.
i. PUC. Water allocation billing is regulated by the PUC. A copy of the rules is attached. This addendum complies with those
rules.
.o.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.

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

consumption;
(3) service charge for manufactured home rental community or the owner
or manager of apartment house: a manufactured home rental community

Government Code, Chapter2306, SubchapterDD; or
(8) 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) Calcdlatlons 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
(8) 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;
(ill) 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
IV I Blue Moon eSignature Services Document ID:419995466
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
(il) 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 uUlity 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;
(III) 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
(ill) 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;
(111) dwelling unit with two bedrooms = 2.8;
(IV) dwelling unitwith 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:
(1) any of the factors developed under subparagraph (A) of this
paragraph; or
(11) 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:
(1) any of the factors developed under subparagraph (A) of this
paragraph; or
(il) 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
therefor 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 forthe 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 afterihe 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

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 $
(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 THATTHE REQUIRED INSURANCE POLICY UNDERTHIS 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.

Insurance Placement Addendum
This addendum is incorporated into the Lease Contract (the "Lease') identified below and is in addition to all
the terms and conditions contained in the Lease. If any terms of this Addendum conflict with the Lease, the terms
of this Addendum shall be controlling:
Property Owner: Arbrook Park Gardens, LP
Resident(s): Yecenia Godina
Address/Apartment No: 3701 Trailwood Ct. #925 #0925, Arlington, TX 76014
Lease Date: 02/05/2024
Resident acknowledges keys will not be issued for occupancy without prior proof of Liability or a Renters
Insurance Policy from all Leaseholders and Harbor Group Management Co., LLC named an interested party
with a minimum $100000.00 liability coverage. Although Resident is only required to meet the
$100000.00 per occurrence liability insurance requirement, it is highly recommended that Resident
purchase insurance that covers their personal belongings.
Resident acknowledges that failure to supply proof of and maintain the Insurance Requirement and meet
other requirements as outlined- in this Addendum shall be deemed a Default under the Lease. In such event,
Landlord will send a written notice demanding that Resident cure the Default by procuring the required
insurance coverage and supplying evidence of coverage to Landlord. Landlord shall have available to it all
Remedies described in Section six (6) of the Apartment Lease Contract in the event of any
such Default concerning Resident's failure to comply with the Insurance Requirement.
Without in any way limiting the foregoing, if Resident fails to supply evidence of compliance with the
Insurance Requirement to Landlord by the date set forth in Landlord's notice, Landlord shall have the right,
but not the obligation, to procure liability only insurance coverage on Resident's behalf on a monthly basis,
and to charge Resident for the amount of the premium paid to the insurance company plus an additional
administrative fee of not more than $10.00 per month. The monthly premium and additional
administrative fee will be considered additional rent under the Lease and will be charged to Resident on a
monthly basis for as long as Resident is a lessee of the Apartment Home and for as long as Resident fails to
provide Landlord with evidence of compliance with the Insurance Requirement. Resident acknowledges that
once the premium paid to the insurance company plus an additional administrative fee is charged to the
resident, the cost is non-refundable.
Resident acknowledges that the coverage Landlord obtains as a result of Resident's failure to provide
evidence of compliance with the Insurance Requirement may cost more than other insurance coverage the
Resident can purchase elsewhere and may not provide as much coverage as Resident may choose to purchase
for his/herself. Resident acknowledges that the insurance purchased by Landlord will NOT cover Resident's
personal contents.
If Resident provides evidence of compliance with the Insurance Requirement, the charge for the insurance
obtained by Landlord and the additional monthly administrative fee will cease based on Landlord's insurance
enrollment schedule, but in no event more than 7 days after Resident provides evidence of
compliance with the Insurance Requirement. Resident acknowledges and agrees that the administrative fee
for purchasing such insurance is a fair and reasonable estimate of the administrative costs Landlord will
incur as a result of procuring the liability only insurance coverage for Resident.

2. About Mold. Mold is found everywhere in our environment, both
indoors and outdoors and in both new and old structures. To avoid
mold growth, it's important to prevent excess moisture buildup
in your dwelling. Promptly notify us in writing about any air-condi-
tioning or heating -system problems and any signs of water leaks,
water infiltration or mold. We will respond in accordance with state
law and the Lease to repair or remedy the situation.
'hd us
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. When the surface is dry —and
within 24 hours of cleaning —apply a premixed spray -on household
biocide.
Do not clean or apply biocides to visible mold on porous sur-
faces such as sheetrock walls or ceilings or to large areas of visible
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 natu-
ral disasters.
If you fail to comply with this addendum, you can be held respon-
sible for property damage to the dwelling and any health problems

antenna on the leased premises, subject to FCC limitations. We as a rental housing owner are allowed to impose reasonable restrictions
lating to such installation. You are required to comply with these restrictions as a condition of installing such equipment. This addendum
intains the restrictions that you and we agree to follow.
Addendum. This is an addendum to the lease between you and us for Apt. No. 0925 in the
Arbrook Park Gardens, LP
Apartments in Arlington
Texas OR
the house, duplex, etc. located at (street address)
, Texas.
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.
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 till, 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.
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.
. 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.
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.

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.
i. Liability insurance and indemnity. You must take full responsibility for the satellite dish, antenna, and related equipment. If the dish

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.
! 0. Security deposit. Your security deposit (in your Lease Contract) is increased by an additional reasonable sum of $ 100.00
❑ effective at time of installation or ® effective within 7 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 drifted through wails 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

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.

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

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

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.
