Addendum. This is an addendum between the Residents and Owner as described in the Lease for the dwelling described below: (name ofoportments) or other dwelling located at (street address ofhouse, duplex, etc.) (city) (state) (zip). 2. Purpose. This addendum modifies the Lease Contract to address any infestation of bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) that might befound in the dwelling or on your personal property.

BY SIGNING THIS ADDENDUM, YOU REPRESENT THAT: • YOU HAVE INSPECTED THE DWELLING BEFORE MOVING IN OR SIGNING THIS ADDENDUM. AND YOU DID NOT FIND ANY EVIDENCE OF BED BUGS OR BED -BUG INFES- TATIONS. OR • YOU WILL INSPECT THE DWELLING WITHIN 48 HOURS AFTER MOVING IN OR SIGNING THIS ADDENDUM AND WILL NOTIFY US OF ANY BED BUGS OR BED -BUG INFES- TATION. 4. Access for Inspection and Pest Treatment. You must allow us and our pest -control agents access to the dwelling at reasonable times to inspect for or treat bed bugs. We can also inspect and treat adjacent or neighboring dwellings to the infestation, even if those dwellings are not the source or cause of the known infestation. Si- multaneously as we treat the dwelling, you must, at your expense, have your personal property, furniture, clothing, and possessions treated according to accepted treatment methods by a licensed pest -control firm that we approve. You agree not to treat the dwell- ing for a bed -bug infestation on your own. 5. Notification. You must promptly notify us: of any known or suspected bed -bug infestation or presence in the dwelling, or in any of your clothing, furniture, or per- sonal property; of any recurring or unexplained bites, stings, irritations, or sores on the skin or body that you believe are caused by bed bugs, or by any condition or pest you believe is in the dwell- ing; AND ifyou discover any condition or evidence that might indicate the presence or infestation of bed bugs, or if you receive any confirmation of bed -bug presence by a licensed pest -control professional or other authoritative source. 6.

You may be required to pay all reasonable costs of cleaning and pest -control treatments incurred by us to treat your dwelling unit for bed bugs. If we confirm the presence or infestation of bed bugs after you move out, you may be responsible for the cost of cleaning and pest control. If we have to move other residents in order to treat adjoining or neighboring dwellings to your dwelling unit, you may have to pay any lost rental income and other expens- es we incur to relocate the neighboring residents and to clean and perform pest -control treatments to eradicate infestations in other dwellings. If you don't pay us for any costs you are liable for, you will be in default and we will have the right to terminate your right of occupancy and exercise all rights and remedies under the Lease, and we may take immediate possession of the dwelling. If you don't move out after your right of occupancy has been terminated, you will be liable for holdover rent under the Lease. 8. Transfers.

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 $ 25000.00 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. 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 BEAWARE THATTHE REQUIRED INSURANCE POLICY UNDER THIS ADDENDUM DOES NOT PROTECT YOU AGAINST LOSS OR DAMAGE TO YOUR PERSONAL PROPERTY OR BELONGINGS. YOU ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO BUY INSURANCE THAT COVERS YOU AND YOUR PROPERTY.

Ifyou or any occupant needs to send a request —for example, for repairs, installations, services, ownership disclosure, orsecurity-related matters — it must be written and delivered to our designated representative in accordance with this Lease (except for fair -housing accommodation or modification requests or situations involving imminent danger or threats to health or safety, such as fire, smoke, gas, explosion, or crime in progress). Our written notes regarding your oral request do not constitute a written request from you. Our complying with or responding to any oral request doesn't waive the strict requirement for written notices under this Lease. A request for maintenance or repair by anyone residing in your apartment constitutes a request from all residents. The time, manner, method and means of performing maintenance and repairs, including whetheror which vendors to use, are within our sole discretion. 15.2. Your Requirement to Notify. You must promptly notify us in writing of air conditioning or heating problems, water leaks or moisture, mold, electrical problems, malfunctioning lights, broken or missing locks or latches, or any other condition that poses a hazard or threat to property, health, or safety. Unless we instruct otherwise, you are required to keep the apartment cooled or heated according to this Lease. Air conditioning problems are normally not emergencies. 15.3. Utilities. We may change or install utility lines or equipment serving the apartment if the work is done reasonably without substantially increasing your utility costs. We may turn off equipment and interrupt utilities as needed to perform work or to avoid property damage or other emergencies. If utilities malfunction or are damaged by fire, water, or similar cause, you must notify our representative immediately. 15.4. Your Remedies. We'll act with customary diligence to make repairs and reconnections within a reasonable time, taking into consideration when casualty -insurance proceeds are received. Unless required by statute after a casualty loss, or during equipment repair, your Rent will not abate in whole or in part. "Reasonable time" accounts for the severity and nature of the problem and the reasonable availability of materials, labor, and utilities. If we fail to timely repair a condition that materially affects the physical health or safety of an ordinary resident as required by the Texas Property Code, you maybe entitled to exercise remedies under § 92.056 and § 92.0561 of the Texas Property Code. If you follow the procedures under those sections, the following remedies, among others, may be available to you: (1) termination of this Lease and an appropriate refund under 92.056(f); (2) have the condition repaired or remedied according to § 92.0561; (3) deduct from the Rent the cost of the repair or remedy according to § 92.0561; and 4) judicial remedies according to § 92.0563. 16. Our Right to Terminate for Apartment Community Damage or Closure. If, in our sole judgment, damages to the unit or building are significant or performance of needed repairs poses a danger to you, we may terminate this Lease and your right to possession by giving you at least 7 days' written notice. If termination occurs, you agree we'll refund only prorated rent and all deposits, minus lawful deduc- tions. We may remove and dispose of your personal property if, in our solejudgment, it causes a health or safety hazard or impedes our ability to make repairs. 16.1. Property Closure. We also have the right to terminate this Lease and your right to possession by giving you at least 30 days' written notice oftermination if we are demolishing your apartment or closing it and it will no longer be used for residential purposes for at least 6 months, or if any part of the property becomes subject to an eminent domain proceeding.

Keyed locks will be rekeyed after the prior resident moves out. The rekeying will be done either before you move in or within 7 days after you move in, as required by law. If we fail to in- stall or rekey security devices as required by law, you have the right to do so and deduct the reasonable cost from your next Rent pay- ment under Texas Property Code sec. 92.765(1). We may deactivate or not install keyless bolting devices on your doors if (A) you or an occupant in the dwelling is over 55 or disabled, and (B) the require- ments of Texas Property Code sec. 92.153(e) or (f) are satisfied. 18.1. Smoke Alarms and Detection Devices. We'll furnish smoke alarms or other detection devices required by law or city ordinance. We may install additional detectors not so required.

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

We do not warrant security of any kind. You agree that you will not rely upon any security measures taken by us for personal security, and that you will call 911 and local law enforcement authorities if any security needs arise. You acknowledge that we are not equipped or trained to provide personal security services to you, your guests or occupants. You rec- ognize that we are not required to provide any private security ser- vices and that no security devices or measures on the property are fail-safe. You further acknowledge that, even if an alarm or gate ame- nities are provided, they are mechanical devices that can malfunc- tion.

Eviction. lfyoudefault, including holding over, wemay end yourright ofoccupancy by giving you at least a 24- hour written notice to vacate. Termination of your possession rights doesn't release you from liability for future Rent or other Lease obligations. After giving notice to vacate or filing anevictionsuit we may still accept Rent or other sums due, the filing or acceptance doesn't waive or diminish our right of eviction or any other contractual or statutory right. Accepting money at any time doesn't waive our right to damages, to past or future Rent or other sums, or to our continuing with eviction proceedings. In an eviction, Rent is owed for the full rental period and will not be prorated. 23.3. Acceleration. Unless we elect not to accelerate Rent, all monthly Rent for the rest of the Lease term or renewal period will be accelerated automatically without notice or demand (before or after acceleration) and will be immediately due if, without our written consent: (A) you move out, remove property in preparing to move out, or you or any occupant gives oral or written notice of intent to move out before the Lease term or renewal period ends; and (B) you haven't paid all Rent for the entire Lease term or renewal period. Remaining Rent will also be accelerated if you're judicially evicted or move out when we demand because you've defaulted. If you don't pay the first month's Rent when or before this Lease begins, all future Rent for the Lease term will be automatically accelerated without notice and become immediately due. We also may end your right of occupancy and recover damages, future Rent, attorney's fees, court costs, and other lawful charges. 23.4. Holdover. You and all occupants must vacate and surrender the apartment by or before the date contained in: (1) your move -out notice (2) our notice to vacate, (3) our notice of non -renewal, or (4) a written agreement specifying a different move -out date.

Other Remedies. We may report unpaid amounts to credit agencies as allowed by law. If we or our debt collector tries to collect any money you owe us, you agree that we or the debt collector may contact you by any legal means.

No action or omission by us will be considered a waiver of our rights or of any subsequent violation, default, or time or place of performance. Our choice to enforce, not enforce or delay enforcement of written -no- tice requirements, rental due dates, acceleration, liens, or any other rights isn'ta waiver under any circumstances. Delay in demanding sums you owe is not a waiver. Except when notice or demand is required by law, you waive any notice and demand for performance from us if you default. Nothing in this Lease constitutes a waiver of our remedies for a breach under your prior lease that occurred before the Lease term begins. Your Lease is subordinate to existing and future recorded mortgages, un- less the owner's lender chooses otherwise. All remedies are cumulative. Exercising one remedy won't constitute an election or waiver of other remedies. All provisions regarding our nonliability or nonduty apply to our employees, agents, and manage- ment companies. No employee, agent, or management company is personally liable for any of our contractual, statutory, or other obliga- tions merely by virtue of acting on our behalf. 25. Move -Out Notice.

As required under PUC rules, you are notified that the average monthly bill for all dwelling units in the previous calendar year was $ per unit, varying from $ to $ 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. 5. 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.

Any dispute relating to the accuracy of any submetering device will be between you and us. E. We will bill you monthly for your submetered water consumption from approximately the 1 day of the month to the 31 day of the month, the latter being our scheduled submeter-reading date.

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. C. 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): O subdivision (i) actual occupancy; O subdivision (ii) ratio occupancy (PUC average for number of occupants in unit); O subdivision (iii) average occupancy (PUC average for number of bedrooms in unit); O subdivision (iv) combination of actual occupancy and square feet of the apartment; or ® subdivision (v) submetered hot/cold water, ratio to total.

(b) Requirement to provide rules. At the time a rental agreement is discussed, 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 the method by which a tenant is billed unless the tenant has agreed to the change by signing a lease or other written agreement. The owner shall provide notice of the proposed change at least 35 days prior to implementing the new method. (d) Change from submetered to allocated billing. An owner shall not change from submetered billing to allocated billing, except after receiving written approval from the commission after a demonstration of good cause and if the rental agreement requirements under subsections (a), (b), and (c) of this section have been met. Good cause may include: (1) equipment failures; or (2) meter reading or billing problems that could not feasibly be corrected. (a) Waiver of tenant rights prohibited. A rental agreement provision that purports to waive a tenant's rights or an owner's responsibilities under this subchapter is void. § 24.281. Charges and Calculations (a) Prohibited charges. Charges billed to tenants for submetered or allocated utility service may only include bills for water or wastewater from the retail public utility and must not include any fees billed to the owner by the retail public utility for any deposit, disconnect, reconnect, late payment, or other similar fees. (b) Dwelling unit base charge. If the retail public 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 resident resides in a unit of an apartment house that has received an allocation of low income housing tax credits under Texas Government Code, Chapter 2306, Subchapter DD; or (B) the apartment resident receives tenant -based voucher assistance under United States Housing Act of 1937 Section 8, (42 United States Code, §1437f); and (4) final bill on move -out for submetered service: if a tenant moves out during a billing period, the owner may calculate a final bill for the tenant before the owner receives the bill for that period from the retail public utility. If the owner is billing using the average water or wastewater cost per gallon, liter, or cubic foot as described in paragraph (1) of this subsection, the owner may calculate the tenant's bill by calculating the tenant's average volumetric rate for the last three months and multiplying that average volumetric rate by the tenant's consumption for the billing period. (e) Calculations for allocated utility service. (1) Before an owner may allocate the retail public utility's master meter bill for water and sewer service to the tenants, the owner shall first deduct: (A) dwelling unit base charges or customer service charge, if applicable; and (B) common area usage such as installed landscape irrigation systems, pools, and laundry rooms, if any, as follows: (i) if all common areas are separately metered or submetered, deduct the actual common area usage; (ii) if common areas that are served through the master meter that provides water to the dwelling units are not separately metered or submetered and there is an installed landscape irrigation system, deduct at least 25 % of the retail public utility's master meter bill; (III) if all water used for an installed landscape irrigation system is metered or submetered and there are other common areas such as pools or laundry rooms that are not metered or submetered, deduct at least 5 % of the retail public utility's master meter bill; or (iv) if common areas that are served through the master meter that provides water to the dwelling units are not separately metered or 1Vf Blue Moon eSignature Services Document ID: 522012861 1 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: (1) the number of occupants in the tenant's dwelling unit divided by the total number of occupants in all dwelling units at the beginning of the month for which bills are being rendered; or (ii) the number of occupants in the tenant's dwelling unit using a ratio occupancy formula divided by the total number of occupants in all dwelling units at the beginning of the retail public utility's billing period using the same ratio occupancy formula to determine the total. The ratio occupancy formula will reflect what the owner believes more accurately represents the water use in units that are occupied by multiple tenants. The ratio occupancy formula that is used must assign a fractional portion per tenant of no less than that on the following scale: (1) dwelling unit with one occupant = 1; (II) dwelling unit with two occupants = 1.6; (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 (iii) the average number of occupants per bedroom, which shall be determined by the following occupancy formula. The formula must calculate the average number of occupants in all dwelling units based on the number of bedrooms in the dwelling unit according to the scale below, notwithstanding the actual number of occupants in each of the dwelling unit's bedrooms or all dwelling units: (1) dwelling unit with an efficiency = 1; (II) dwelling unit with one bedroom = 1.6; (III) dwelling unit with two bedrooms = 2.8; (IV) dwelling unit with three bedrooms = 4 + 1.2 for each additional bedroom; or (iv) a factor using a combination of square footage and occupancy in which no more than 50% is based on square footage. The square footage portion must be based on the total square footage living area of the dwelling unit as a percentage of the total square footage living area of all dwelling units of the apartment house; or (v) the individually submetered hot or cold water usage of the tenant's dwelling unit divided by all submetered hot or cold water usage in all dwelling units; (B) a condominium manager shall multiply the amount established in paragraph (1) of this subsection by any of the factors under subparagraph (A) of this paragraph or may follow the methods outlined in the condominium contract; (C) for a manufactured home rental community, the owner shall multiply the amount established in paragraph (1) of this subsection by: (i) any of the factors developed under subparagraph (A) of this paragraph; or (ii) the area of the individual rental space divided by the total area of all rental spaces; and (D) for a multiple use facility, the owner shall multiply the amount established in paragraph (1) of this subsection by: (1) any of the factors developed under subparagraph (A) of this paragraph; or (ii) the square footage of the rental space divided by the total square footage of all rental spaces. (3) If a tenant moves in or out during a billing period, the owner may calculate a bill for the tenant. If the tenant moves in during a billing period, the owner shall prorate the bill by calculating a bill as if the tenant were 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 forthat period from the retail public utility, the owner may calculate a final bill. The owner may calculate the tenant's bill by calculating the tenant's average bill for the last three months and multiplying that average bill by the number of days the tenant was in the unit divided by the number of days in that month. (f) Conversion to approved allocation method. An owner using an allocation formula other than those approved in subsection (a) of this section shall immediately provide notice as required under §24.279(c) of this title (relating to Rental Agreement) and either: (1) adopt one of the methods in subsection (e) 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 after the owner receives the retail public utility bill. (2) Submeter bills shall be rendered as promptly as possible after the owner receives the retail public utility bill or according to the time schedule in the rental agreement if the owner is billing using the retail public utility's rate. (c) Submeter reading schedule. Submeters or point -of -use submeters shall be read within three days of the scheduled reading date of the retail public utility's master meter or according to the schedule in the rental agreement if the owner is billing using the retail public utility's rate. (d) Billing period. (1) Allocated bills shall be rendered for the same billing period as that of the retail public utility, generally monthly, unless service is provided for less than that period. (2) Submeter bills shall be rendered for the same billing period as that of the retail public utility, generally monthly, unless service is provided for less than that period. If the owner uses the retail public utility's actual rate, the billing period may be an alternate billing period specified in the rental agreement. (a) Multi -item bill. If issued on a multi -item bill, charges for submetered or allocated utility service must be separate and distinct from any other charges on the bill. (f) Information on bill. The bill must clearly state that the utility service is submetered or allocated, as applicable, and must include all of the following: (1) total amount due for submetered or allocated water; (2) total amount due for submetered or allocated wastewater; (3) total amount due for dwelling unit base charge(s) or customer service charge(s) or both, if applicable; (4) total amount due for water or wastewater usage, if applicable; (5) the name of the retail public utility and a statement that the bill is not from the retail public utility; (6) name and address of the tenant to whom the bill is applicable; (7) name of the firm rendering the bill and the name or title, address, and telephone number of the firm or person to be contacted in case of a billing dispute; and (8) name, address, and telephone number of the party to whom payment is to be made. (g) Information on submetered service. In addition to the information required in subsection (f) of this section, a bill for submetered service must include all of the following: (1) the total number of gallons, liters, or cubic feet submetered or measured by point -of -use submeters; (2) the cost per gallon, liter, or cubic foot for each service provided; and (3) total amount due for a service charge charged by an owner of a manufactured home rental community, if applicable. (h) Due date. The due date on the bill may not be less than 16 days after it is mailed or hand delivered to the tenant, unless the due date falls on a federal holiday orweekend, in which case the following work day will be the due date. The owner shall record the date the bill is mailed or hand delivered. A payment is delinquent if not received by the due date. (i) Estimated bill. An estimated bill may be rendered if a master meter, submeter, or point -of -use submeter has been tampered with, cannot be read, or is out of order; and in such case, the bill must be distinctly marked as an estimate and the subsequent bill must reflect an adjustment for actual charges. 0) Payment by tenant. Unless utility bills are paid to a third -party billing company on behalf of the owner, or unless clearly designated by the tenant, payment must be applied first to rent and then to utilities. (k) Overbilling and underbilling. If a bill is issued and subsequently found to be in error, the owner shall calculate a billing adjustment. If the tenant is due a refund, an adjustment must be calculated for all of that tenant's bills that lVf Blue Moon eSiQnature Services Document ID: 522012861 1 included overcharges. If the overbilling or underbilling affects all tenants, an adjustment must be calculated for all of the tenants' bills. If the tenant was undercharged, and the cause was not due to submeter or point -of -use submeter error, the owner may calculate an adjustment for bills issued in the previous six months. If the total undercharge is $25 or more, the owner shall offer the tenant a deferred payment plan option, for the same length of time as that of the underbilling. Adjustments for usage by a previous tenant may not be back billed to a current tenant. (1) Disputed bills. In the event of a dispute between a tenant and an owner regarding any bill, the owner shall investigate the matter and report the results of the investigation to the tenant in writing. The investigation and report must be completed within 30 days from the date the tenant gives written notification of the dispute to the owner. (m) Late fee. A one-time penalty not to exceed 5% may be applied to delinquent accounts. If such a penalty is applied, the bill must indicate the amount due if the late penalty is incurred. No late penalty may be applied unless agreed to by the tenant in a written lease that states the percentage amount of such late penalty. § 24.285. Complaint Jurisdiction (a) Jurisdiction. The commission has exclusive jurisdiction for violations under this subchapter. (b) Complaints. If an apartment house owner, condominium manager, manufactured home rental community owner, or other multiple use facility owner violates a commission rule regarding utility costs, the person claiming the violation may file a complaint with the commission and may appear remotely for a hearing. § 24.287. Submeters or Point -of -Use Submeters and Plumbing Fixtures (a) Submeters or point -of -use submeters. (1) Same type submeters or point -of -use submeters required. All submeters or point -of -use submeters throughout a property must use the same unit of measurement, such as gallon, liter, or cubic foot. (2) Installation by owner. The owner shall be responsible for providing, installing, and maintaining all submeters or point -of -use submeters necessary for the measurement of water to tenants and to common areas, if applicable. (3) Submeter or point -of -use submeter tests prior to installation. No submeter or point -of -use submeter may be placed in service unless its accuracy has been established. If any submeter or point -of -use submeter is removed from service, it must be properly tested and calibrated before being placed in service again. (4) Accuracy requirements for submeters and point -of -use submeters. Submeters must be calibrated as close as possible to the condition of zero error and within the accuracy standards established by the American Water Works Association (AWWA) for water meters. Point -of -use submeters must be calibrated as closely as possible to the condition of zero error and within the accuracy standards established by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) for point -of -use and branch -water submetering systems. (5) Location of submeters and point -of -use submeters. Submeters and point -of -use submeters must be installed in accordance with applicable plumbing codes and AWWA standards for water meters or ASME standards for point -of -use submeters, and must be readily accessible to the tenant and to the ownerfor testing and inspection where such activities will cause minimum interference and inconvenience to the tenant. (6) Submeter and point -of -use submeter records. The owner shall maintain a record on each submeter or point -of -use submeter which includes: (A) an identifying number; (B) the installation date (and removal date, if applicable); (C) date(s) the submeter or point -of -use submeter was calibrated or tested; (D) copies of all tests; and (E) the current location of the submeter or point -of -use submeter. (7) Submeter or point -of -use submeter test on request of tenant. Upon receiving a written request from the tenant, the owner shall either: (A) provide evidence, at no charge to the tenant, that the submeter or point -of -use submeter was calibrated or tested within the preceding 24 months and determined to be within the accuracy standards established by the AWWA for water meters or ASME standards for point -of -use submeters; or (B) have the submeter or point -of -use submeter removed and tested and promptly advise the tenant of the test results. (8) Billing for submeter or point -of -use submeter test. (A) The owner may not bill the tenant for testing costs if the submeter fails to meet AWWA accuracy standards for water meters or ASME standards for point -of -use submeters. (B) The owner may not bill the tenant for testing costs if there is no evidence that the submeter or point -of -use submeter was calibrated or tested within the preceding 24 months. (C) The owner may bill the tenant for actual testing costs (not to exceed $25) if the submeter meets AWWA accuracy standards or the point -of - use submeter meets ASME accuracy standards and evidence as described in paragraph (7)(A) of this subsection was provided to the tenant. (9) Bill adjustment due to submeter or point -of -use submeter error. If a submeter does not meet AWWA accuracy standards or a point -of -use submeter does not meet ASME accuracy standards and the tenant was overbilled, an adjusted bill must be rendered in accordance with §24.283(k) of this title (relating to Billing). The owner may not charge the tenant for any underbilling that occurred because the submeter or point -of -use submeter was in error. (10) Submeter or point -of -use submeter testing facilities and equipment. For submeters, an owner shall comply with the AWWA's meter testing requirements. For point -of -use meters, an owner shall comply with ASME's meter testing requirements. (b) Plumbing fixtures. After January 1, 2003, before an owner of an apartment house, manufactured home rental community, or multiple use facility or a manager of a condominium may implement a program to bill tenants for submetered or allocated water service, the owner or manager shall adhere to the following standards: (1) Texas Health and Safety Code, §372.002, for sink or lavatory faucets, faucet aerators, and showerheads; (2) perform a water leak audit of each dwelling unit or rental unit and each common area and repair any leaks found; and (3) not later than the first anniversary of the date an owner of an apartment house, manufactured home rental community, or multiple use facility or a manager of a condominium begins to bill for submetered or allocated water service, the owner or manager shall: (A) remove any toilets that exceed a maximum flow of 3.5 gallons per flush; and (B) install toilets that meet the standards prescribed by Texas Health and Safety Code, §372.002.

IA.Cf/ & r 1.GA am& Signatures of All Residents Signature of Owner or Owner's Representative Texas Apartment Association �J lVf Blue Moon eSiQnature Services Document ID: 522012861 LEASE ADDENDUM FOR ALLOCATING TRASH REMOVAL AND RECYCLING COSTS 1. Addendum. This is an addendum to the TAA Lease Contract for Apt. No. in the Texas OR the house, duplex, etc. located at (street address) in Apartments in Texas. 2. Reason for allocation. Our property receives a single bill for trash removal/recycling. In recent years, many trash haulers and recyclers have increased fees dramatically to keep pace with rising costs associated with landfills and environmental mandates. By allocating this bill, we hope to make residents more aware of the true costs of waste disposal and to help reduce, reuse and recycle, and in turn, lower both costs and the impact on our environment. 3. Your payment due date. Payment of your allocated trash removal and recycling 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.

If you are late in paying the trash removal/recycling bill, we may immediately exercise all lawful remedies under your lease contract, including eviction just like late payment of rent. 4.

Conditions. If your washing machine and/or dryer leaks, floods, causes a fire, causes smoke damage, or otherwise malfunctions or is misused, it can cause a lot of problems and a lot of damage to your unit and other units, as well as damage to your personal property and personal property of residents in other units. For these reasons, your right to install and use a washing machine and/or dryer in your unit is subject to the following conditions. You automatically agree to those conditions when connecting or using a washing machine and/or dryer in your unit. 4. Installation. You should be especially careful in your choice of a washing machine and/or dryer and in their installation, maintenance and use just as if it were in your own home. You and all other residents, occupants, and guests in your unit must follow manufacturer's instructions for the washing machine and/or dryer's installation, maintenance, and use. Installation must be done by a professionally qualified person or company approved by us. We recommend that you have it professionally installed. 5. Responsibility for damage. You agree to assume strict liability for all damage to your unit and to other units and to personal property in your unit and other units if the washing machine and/or dryer leaks, floods, malfunctions or is misused, or in any other way causes damage —unless it is caused by us or our management company, or acts of God to the extent they couldn't be mitigated by your action or inaction. That means you will be responsible for costs of removing water from carpets, replacing permanently damaged carpets, repainting, and any other repairs or damages to your unit and to other units, as well as damage to personal property in your unit and other units if, among other things: • the water or dryer vent hoses break or leak; or • the water or dryer vent hoses were incorrectly connected or did not have protective washers in the connections; or • the washing machine and/or dryer was overloaded, causing it to malfunction; or • the washing machine and/or dryer leaks or malfunctions for any other reason. • the owner's insurance may not cover such damages, and the owner is under no obligation to have insurance that does cover such damages. 6.

Similarly, you should use a new dryer vent hose when installing your dryer. T. Inspection. You must not use the washing machine and/or dryer until management has inspected the installation. Such inspection does not relieve you of liability in the event of water, fire, smoke or other damage from your washing machine and/ or dryer. 8. Maintenance.

Such maintenance must include, but is not limited to, regularly cleaning lint from your dryer's lint trap. 9. Insurance.

Addendum. This is an addendum to the TAA Lease Contract for Apt. No. in the Apartments in Texas. The terms of this addendum will control if the terms of the Lease and this addendum conflict. 2. Reason for allocation.

These fees can be significant. Our property has chosen to allocate this fee so residents are more aware of the true costs associated with these fees and so it is not necessary to raise rents to keep pace with these fee increases. 3. Your payment due date. Payment of your allocated stormwater/drainage 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 stormwater/drainage bill if we do not receive timely payment. If you are late in paying the stormwater/drainage bill, we may immediately exercise all lawful remedies under your lease contract, including eviction just like late payment of rent. 4. Allocation procedures. Your monthly base rent under the TAA Lease Contract does not include a charge for stormwater/ drainage costs. You will pay separately for these monthly recurring fixed charges which are defined under the Lease as "Additional Rent". You may receive a separate bill from us each month or we may include these items as separate and distinct charges as part of a multi -item bill.

(check only one) ❑ A percentage reflecting your apartment unit's share of the total square footage in the apartment community, i.e. your unit's square footage divided by the total square footage in all apartment units. ❑ A percentage reflecting your apartment unit's share of the total number of people living in the apartment community, i.e. the number of people living in your apartment divided by the total number of people living in the entire apartment commu- nity for the month. ("People" for this purpose are all residents and occupants listed in leases at the apartment community as having a right to occupy the respective units). ❑ Half of your allocation will be based on your apartment's share of total square footage and half will be based on your share of total people living in the apartment community, as described above. x❑ Per dwelling unit ❑ Other formula (see attached page) 5.

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, 2024. All proposals were received on March 15, 2024. 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 10, 2024, 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 8, 2024. A 30-day public comment period was held from May 15, 2024 to June 14, 2024. Notice of this public comment period was published in La Vida News on May 9, 2024; in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram on May 13, 2024; in Wise County Messenger on May 16, 2024; and in the Cleburne Times Review and the Weatherford Democrat on May 18, 2024. 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 May 29, 2024, and the second public hearing is scheduled for the City Council on June 25, 2024. A summary of staff's final funding recommendations is provided below in Tables 1,2, and 3. A PowerPoint presentation listing funding recommendations is also attached. The 2024-2025 Annual Action Plan will be submitted to HUD by August 15, 2024. Indirect costs totaling approximately $341,260.45 could be charged to the CDBG grant, 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. This amount is calculated based on the estimated salary expenses and other administrative costs for the CDBG program totaling $1,214,450.00. This amount multiplied by the indirect cost rate of 28.10\% equals $341,260.45. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT For Program Year 2024-2025, it is recommended that the amount of $7,006,875.00 in CDBG funds and an estimated amount of $50,000.00 in CDBG program income totaling $7,056,875.00 be allocated as follows: Public Service Agencies - $1,051,031.00: Includes social services for low- and moderate -income persons, persons with disabilities, and disadvantaged persons Housing Programs - $2,930,000.00: Includes funding for the City's Priority Repair Program, Cowtown Brush -Up, and accessibility modifications for seniors and persons with disabilities Major Projects - $644,469.00: Includes funding for multifamily rental rehabilitation Program Delivery - $980,000.00: Includes program delivery costs for housing programs Administration - $1,401,375.00: Includes costs for administering the CDBG grant, including allocations for the Financial Management Services Department Estimated Program Income - $50,000.00: Includes up to $50,000.00 in funding for the City's Priority Repair Program.

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 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. These programs are available in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS. http://apps.cfwnet.org/council_packet/mc review.asp?ID=32258&councildate=6/25/2024 7/8/2024 M&C Review Page 6 of 6 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.
