including liability for future or past-due Rent, charges for
damages or other sums due.
The reletting charge is a liquidated amount covering only
part of our damages—for our time, effort, and expense in
finding and processing a replacement resident. These
damages are uncertain and hard to ascertain—particularly
those relating to inconvenience, paperwork, advertising,
showing apartments, utilities for showing, checking pros-
pects, overhead, marketing costs, and locator-service fees.

we instruct otherwise, you are required to keep the
apartment cooled or heated according to this Lease. Air
conditioning problems are normally not emergencies.
15.3. Utilities. We may change or install utility lines or
equipment serving the apartment if the work is done
reasonably without substantially increasing your
utility costs. We may turn off equipment and interrupt
utilities as needed to perform work or to avoid
property damage or other emergencies. If utilities
malfunction or are damaged by fire, water, or similar
cause, you must notify our representative immediately.
15.4. Your Remedies. We'll act with customary diligence to
make repairs and reconnections within a reasonable
time, taking into consideration when casualty-insurance
proceeds are received. Unless required by statute after
a casualty loss, or during equipment repair, your Rent
will not abate in whole or in part. "Reasonable time"
accounts forthe severity and nature ofthe problem and
the reasonable availability of materials, labor, and
uti I ities. If we fail to timel y repair a condition that
materiallyalfects the physical healih orsafety ofan
ordinary resident as required by the Texas Property Code,
you may be entitled to exercise remedies under § 92.056
and § 92.0561 of the Texas Property Code. lf you follow

under 92.056(f); (2) have the condition repaired or
remedied according to § 92.0567; (3) deduct from the Rent
the cost of the repair or remedy according to § 92.0561;

our solejudgment, it causes a health or safety hazard or impedes our
abilityto make repairs.

ligations on us or our representatives, unless in writing and signed.

any subseq uent violation, default, or ti me or place of performance. Our
choice to enforce, not enforce ordelay enforcement of written-no-
ticerequirements, rental due dates, acceleration, liens, oranyother
rights isn't a waiver under any circumstances. Delay in demandi ng
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
defa ult. Nothing in this Lease constitutes a waiver of our remedies for a
breach under your prior lease that occurred before the Lease term beg ins.

less the owner's lender chooses otherwise.

an election or waiver of other remedies. All provisions regarding our

tions merely byvirtue ofacting on our behalf.

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

(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.
(e) 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
submetered and there is no installed landscape irrigation system,
deduct at least 5% of the retail public utility's master meter bill.
(2) To calculate a tenant's bill:
(A) for an apartment house, the owner shall multiply the amount
established in paragraph (1) of this subsection by:
(i) the number of occupants in the tenant's dwelling unit divided by the
total number of occupants in all dwelling units at the beginning of the
month for which bills are being rendered; or
(ii) the number of occupants in the tenant's dwelling unit using a ratio
occupancy formula divided by the total number of occupants in all
dwelling units at the beginning of the retail public utility's billing period
using the same ratio occupancy formula to determine the total. The
ratio occupancy formula will reflect what the owner believes more
accurately represents the water use in units that are occupied by
multiple tenants. The ratio occupancy formula that is used must
assign a fractional portion per tenant of no less than that on the
following scale:
(I) 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:
(I) dwelling unit with an efficiency = 1;
(II) dwelling unit with one bedroom = 1.6;
(III) dwelling unit with two bedrooms = 2.8;
(IV) dwelling unit with three bedrooms = 4 + 1.2 for each additional
bedroom; or
(iv) a factor using a combination of square footage and occupancy in
which no more than 50% is based on square footage. The square
footage portion must be based on the total square footage living area
of the dwelling unit as a percentage of the total square footage living
area of all dwelling units of the apartment house; or
(v) the individually submetered hot or cold water usage of the tenant's
dwelling unit divided by all submetered hot or cold water usage in all
dwelling units;
(B) a condominium manager shall multiply the amount established in
paragraph (1) of this subsection by any of the factors under
subparagraph (A) of this paragraph or may follow the methods outlined
in the condominium contract;
(C) for a manufactured home rental community, the owner shall multiply
the amount established in paragraph (1) of this subsection by:
(i) any of the factors developed under subparagraph (A) of this
paragraph; or
(ii) the area of the individual rental space divided by the total area of
all rental spaces; and
(D) for a multiple use facility, the owner shall multiply the amount
established in paragraph (1) of this subsection by:
(i) any of the factors developed under subparagraph (A) of this
paragraph; or
(ii) the square footage of the rental space divided by the total square
footage of all rental spaces.
(3) If a tenant moves in or out during a billing period, the owner may
calculate a bill for the tenant. If the tenant moves in during a billing period,
the owner shall prorate the bill by calculating a bill as if the tenant were
there for the whole month and then charging the tenant for only the number
of days the tenant lived in the unit divided by the number of days in the
month multiplied by the calculated bill. If a tenant moves out during a billing
period before the owner receives the bill for that period from the retail public
utility, the owner may calculate a final bill. The owner may calculate the
tenant's bill by calculating the tenant's average bill for the last three months
and multiplying that average bill by the number of days the tenant was in
the unit divided by the number of days in that month.
(f) Conversion to approved allocation method. An owner using an allocation
formula other than those approved in subsection (e) 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.
(e) 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 or weekend, in which case the following work day will be the due date.
The owner shall record the date the bill is mailed or hand delivered. A
payment is delinquent if not received by the due date.
(i) Estimated bill. An estimated bill may be rendered if a master meter,
submeter, or point-of-use submeter has been tampered with, cannot be read,
or is out of order; and in such case, the bill must be distinctly marked as an
estimate and the subsequent bill must reflect an adjustment for actual
charges.
(j) 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
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.
(l) 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 owner for testing and inspection where such activities
will cause minimum interference and inconvenience to the tenant.
(6) Submeter and point-of-use submeter records. The owner shall maintain
a record on each submeter or point-of-use submeter which includes:
(A) an identifying number;
(B) the installation date (and removal date, if applicable);
(C) date(s) the submeter or point-of-use submeter was calibrated or
tested;
(D) copies of all tests; and
(E) the current location of the submeter or point-of-use submeter.
(7) Submeter or point-of-use submeter test on request of tenant. Upon
receiving a written request from the tenant, the owner shall either:
(A) provide evidence, at no charge to the tenant, that the submeter or
point-of-use submeter was calibrated or tested within the preceding 24
months and determined to be within the accuracy standards established
by the AWWA for water meters or ASME standards for point-of-use
submeters; or
(B) have the submeter or point-of-use submeter removed and tested and
promptly advise the tenant of the test results.
(8) Billing for submeter or point-of-use submeter test.
(A) The owner may not bill the tenant for testing costs if the submeter
fails to meet AWWA accuracy standards for water meters or ASME
standards for point-of-use submeters.
(B) The owner may not bill the tenant for testing costs if there is no
evidence that the submeter or point-of-use submeter was calibrated or
tested within the preceding 24 months.
(C) The owner may bill the tenant for actual testing costs (not to exceed
$25) if the submeter meets AWWA accuracy standards or the point-of-
use submeter meets ASME accuracy standards and evidence as
described in paragraph (7)(A) of this subsection was provided to the
tenant.
(9) Bill adjustment due to submeter or point-of-use submeter error. If a
submeter does not meet AWWA accuracy standards or a point-of-use
submeter does not meet ASME accuracy standards and the tenant was
overbilled, an adjusted bill must be rendered in accordance with §24.283(k)
of this title (relating to Billing). The owner may not charge the tenant for
any underbilling that occurred because the submeter or point-of-use
submeter was in error.
(10) Submeter or point-of-use submeter testing facilities and equipment.
For submeters, an owner shall comply with the AWWA's meter testing
requirements. For point-of-use meters, an owner shall comply with ASME's
meter testing requirements.
(b) Plumbing fixtures. After January 1, 2003, before an owner of an apartment
house, manufactured home rental community, or multiple use facility or a
manager of a condominium may implement a program to bill tenants for
submetered or allocated water service, the owner or manager shall adhere to
the following standards:
(1) Texas Health and Safety Code, §372.002, for sink or lavatory faucets,
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.

INSURANCE ADDENDUM
1.
2. Required Insurance Policy. In accordance with the Lease, you understand and agree that this addendum requires Resident, at
Resident's sole expense, to buy and maintain a liability insurance policy during the entire Lease term and any renewal periods that provides
limits of liability to third parties in amount not less than $ 300000 . 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 InteresY' 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 atldendum on or prior to the Lease commencement date; and if you do not you will not be granted possession of the
Premises. You must also provide us written proof of compliance within 7 days of our written request at any other time we request it.
3. Acknowledgement. You acknowledge that Owner does not acquire or maintain insurance for ResidenYs 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 requiretl 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 RE5IDENT: YOU SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THE REQUIRED INSURANCE POLICY UNDER THISADDENDUM 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]

Resident acknowledges keys will not be issued for occupancy without prior proof of Liability or a Renters

with a minimum $ 300000 . 00 liability coverage. Although Resident is only required to meet the
$ 300000 . 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/hersel£ 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.

LEASE ADDENDUM FOR SATELLITE DISH OR ANTENNA
Under a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) order, you as our resident have a right to install a transmitting or receiving satellite dish
or antenna on the leased premises, subject to FCC limitations. We as a rental housing owner are allowed to impose reasonable restrictions
relating to such installation. You are required to comply with these restrictions as a condition of installing such equipment. This addendum
contains the restrictions that you and we agree to follow.
1.
2. Number and size. You may install 1 satellite dish(es) or antenna(s) on the leased premises. A satellite dish may not exceed
one meter (3.3 feet) in diameter. Antennas that only transmit signals or that are not covered by 47 CFR §1.4000 are prohibited.
3. Location. Your satellite dish or antenna must be located: (1) inside your dwelling; or (2) in an area outside your dwelling such as a
balcony, patio, yard, etc. of which you have exclusive use under your lease. Installation is not permitted on any parking area, roof, exterior
wall, window, window sill, fence, or common area, or in an area that other residents are allowed to use. A satellite dish or antenna may not
protrude beyond the vertical and horizontal space that is leased to you for your exclusive use.
4. Safety and non-interference. Your installation: (1) must comply with all applicable ordinances and laws and all reasonable safety
standards; (2) may not interfere with our cable, telephone or electrical systems or those of neighboring properties; (3) may not be
connected to our telecommunication systems; and (4) may not be connected to our electrical system except by plugging into a 110-volt
duplex receptacle. If the satellite dish or antenna is placed in a permitted outside area, it must be safely secured by one of three methods:
(1) securely attaching it to a portable, heavy object such as a small slab of concrete; (2) clamping it to a part of the building's exterior that
lies within your leased premises (such as a balcony or patio railing); or (3) any other method approved by us in writing. No other methods
are allowed. We may require reasonable screening of the satellite dish or antenna by plants, etc., so long as it does not impair reception.
5. 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"flaY' cable under a door jam or windowsill in a manner that does not physically alter the premises and
does not intertere with proper operation of the door or window; (2) running a traditional or flat cable through a pre-existing hole in the wall
(that will not need to be enlarged to accommodate the cable); (3) connecting cables "through a window pane," similar to how an external
car antenna for a cellular phone can be connected to inside wiring by a device glued to either side of the window—without drilling a hole
through the window; (4) wireless transmission of the signal from the satellite dish or antenna to a device inside the dwelling; or (5) any
other method approved by us in writing.
6. Safety in installation. In order to assure safety, the strength and type of materials used for installation must be approved by us.
Installation must be done by a qualified person or company approved by us. Our approval will not be unreasonably withheld. An installer
provided by the seller of the satellite dish or antenna is presumed to be qualified.
7. Maintenance. You will have the sole responsibility for maintaining your satellite dish, antenna, and all related equipment.
8. Removal and damages. You must remove the satellite dish or antenna and all related equipment when you move out of the dwelling.
In accordance with the TAA Lease Contract, you must pay for any damages and for the cost of repairs or repainting caused by negligence,
carelessness, accident. or abuse which may be reasonably necessary to restore the leased premises to its condition prior to the installation
of your satellite dish, antenna or related equipment. You will not be responsible for normal wear and tear.
9. Liability insurance and indemnity. You must take full responsibility for the satellite dish, antenna, and related equipment. If the dish
or antenna is installed at a height or in some other way that could result in injury to others if it becomes unattached and falls, you must
provide us with evidence of liability insurance to protect us against claims of personal injury and property damage to others, related to your
satellite dish, antenna, and related equipment. The insurance coverage must be $ 100000 . 00 , which is an amount reasonably
determined by us to accomplish that purpose. Factors affecting the amount of insurance include height of installation above ground level,
potential wind velocities, risk of the dish/antenna becoming unattached and falling on someone, etc. You agree to hold us harmless and
indemnify us against any of the above claims by others.
10. Security deposit. Your security deposit (in your Lease Contract) is increased by an additional reasonable sum of $ 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 drilled through walls for the cable between the satellite dish and the TV; and (3) the difficulty and cost of repair or
restoration after removal, etc. A security deposit increase does not imply a right to drill into or alter the leased premises.
11. When you may begin installation. You may start installation of your satellite dish, antenna, or related equipment only afteryou have:
(1) signed this addendum; (2) provided us with written evidence of the liability insurance referred to in paragraph 9 of this addendum;
(3) paid us the additional security deposit, if applicable, in paragraph 10; and (4) received our written approval, which may not be
unreasonably withheld, of the installation materials and the person or company that will do the installation.
12. Miscellaneous. If additional satellite dishes or antennas are desired, an additional lease addendum must be executed.

LEASE ADDENDUM FOR ALLOCATING STORMWATER/DRAINAGE COSTS
1. Addendum. This is an addendum to the TAA Lease Contract for Apt. No.
,
Texas. The terms of this addendum will control if the terms of the Lease and this addendum conflict.
2. Reason for allocation. Governmental entities impose stormwater/drainage fees to help pay for the cost of maintaining
the infrastructure needed to prevent flooding and lessen the impact of pollution on our water system. 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 RenY'. You may receive a separate bill from us each month orwe may include these items as separate and distinct
charges as part of a multi-item bill. You agree to and we will allocate the monthly stormwater/drainage bill for the apartment
community based on the allocation method checked below. (check only one)
❑ A percentage reflecting your apartment uniYs share of the total square footage in the apartment community, i.e. your uniYs
square footage divided by the total square footage in all apartment units.
❑ A percentage reflecting your apartment uniYs 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 apartmenYs 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. Penalties and fees. Only the total stormwater/drainage bill will be allocated. Penalties or interest for any late payment of
the master stormwater/ drainage bill by us will be paid for by us and will not be allocated. A nominal administrative fee of
$ 2. 95 per month (not to exceed $3) will be added to your bill for processing, billing and/or collecting.
6. Change of allocation formula. The above allocation formula for determining your share of the stormwater/drainage bill
cannot be changed except as follows: (1) you receive notice of the new formula at least 35 days before it takes effect; and
(2) you agree to the change in a signed lease renewal or signed mutual agreement.
T. Right to examine records. You may examine our stormwater/drainage bills from the utility company, and our calculations
relating to the monthly allocation of the stormwater/drainage bills during regular weekday office hours. Please give us
reasonable advance notice to gather the data.

FLOOD DISCLOSURE NOTICE
In accordance with Texas law, we are providing the following flood disclosure:
We are or 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 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 NOTICETO RESIDENTS: Thefollowing information is taken from a brochure entitled"ProtectYour Familyfrom 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 1978,
it does not mean that the dwelling contains lead-based paint (LBP).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 LBP in a dwelling. The TAA Lease Contrad ("Lease") specifically
prohibits a resident from performing this type of work—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 LBP. NOTE: Page references
in the content of this form are to pages in the EPA brochure.

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 surfaws).
• Swallow lead dust that has settled on food, food preparation surfaces,
and other plaws.
• 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 rystems are s '� -

Women of childbearing age should know that lead is dangerous to
a developing fetus.
• Women with a high lead level in their system 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 older your 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 govemment banned consumer
uses oflead-containing palnt'
Leam howto determine if paint is lead-based paint on 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 of the house, and
In soil around a home. (Soil can plck up lead from exterior paint or
other sources, such as past use of leaded gas in carsJ
Learn more about where lead is found at epa.gov/lead.
CheckYour Family for 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 doctorfor 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,
aacking, or damaged paint) is a hazard and nceds immediatc
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 orfriction surface like a window.
Lead dust can form when lead-based palnt is scraped, sanded, or
heated Lead dust also forms when painted surfaces containing
lead bump or rub together. Lead paint chips and dusl can geL on
surfaces and objects that people touch. Settled lead dust can reenter
the alr 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 mlcrograms per square foot (Ngfft�) and higher for floors,
induding carpeted floors
• 100 Ng/ft� and higher for interior window sills
Lead in soil can be a hazard when children play in bare soil or when
pcoplc biing soil Into thc housc on thcir shoes. EPA currently defines
the following levels of lead in soil as hazardous:
• 400 parts per million (ppm) and higher in play areas of bare soil
• 1,200 ppm (avcrage) and highcr In barc soil In thc remaindcr

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
professlonal, called a lead-based paint
inspector, will conduct a palnt inspection
using methods, such as: �'r_
• Portablex-rayfluorescence(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:
,y
�[ -�
.,
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 mmbination inspedion and risk assessment tells you ifyour 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:
• Ifyou rent, notify your landlord of peeling or chipping paint.
• Keep painted surfaces clean and free of dust. Clean floors, window
frames, window sills, and other surfaces weekly. Use a mop or sponge
with warm water and a general all-purpose deaner. (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 reqularly.
• Keep children from chewinq 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 enterinq 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. Chlldren with good diets
absorblesslead.
Checking Your Home for Lead, continued
In preparing for renovation, repair, or painting work in a pre-1978
homc, Lcad-Safc Certificd renovators (sce pagc 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
FPA-remgni�ed lead lab for analysls. In houslnq receiving federal
assistan�e, the person mllecting these samples must be a ceriified
lead-based paintinspectororriskassessor
• Use EPA-recognized tests kitr to determine if lead-based paint is
absent (but not in housing receiving federal asslstance)
• Presume that lead-based paint is present and use lead-safe work
practices
There are state and federal programs in place to ensure tha� testing is
done safely, reliably, and effedively. Contact your state or bcal agency

Reducing Lead Hazards, continued
If your home has had lead abatement work done or if the housing is
receiving federal assistance, once the work is completed, dust deanup
activities must be conducted until dearance testing indicates that lead
dust levels are below the following levels:
• 10 micrograms per square foot (µg/ft�) for floors, induding carpeted
floors
100 Ng/ft' for interiorwindows sills
400 Ng/ft' 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 dean Floors, window sills, troughs, and other hard surfaces

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 1-500-424-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 likelyto 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 babyformula.
Remember, boiling water does not remove lead from water.
• Before drinking, flush your home's pipes by running the tap, taking a
shower, doing laundry, or doing a load of dishes.
• Regularly clean your fauceYs screen (also known as an aerator).
• If you 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 system's 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 1-800 424-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.

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) from the Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and

A Request for Proposals from social service agencies and nonprofit organizations seeking grant funding
was published on January 15, 2025. All proposals were received on March 3, 2025. 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 July 14, 2025, to provide citizens with 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 June 11, 2025.
A 30-day public comment period was held from June 16, 2025, through July 16, 2025. Notice of this public
comment period was published in the Cleburne Times Review on June 10, 2025; in the Fort Worth Star

Messenger on June 12, 2025.
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 14, 2025, and the second public hearing is

All figures have been rounded to the nearest dollar for presentation purposes.
Each of these grants are 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 through the
Cranston-Gonzales National Affordable Housing Act of 1990. With these grants, administrative and
program delivery allocations support approximately 90 FTE positions in the Neighborhood Services
Department, which is funded nearly 60\% 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, the 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.
The City of Fort Worth has certified that all programs receiving funding through the HOPWA, HOME, ESG,
and CDBG grants comply with applicable Executive Orders.
These programs are available in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
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. These are reimbursement grants.
