OFFICIAL RECORD Rental Assistance Landlord Agreement CITY SECRETARY Page 1 of 14 FT. WORTH, TX 3. COMPENSATION 3.1 Security Deposit The Tenant shall pay a security deposit for the Unit to the Landlord in accordance with the Tenant's lease, attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Landlord will hold this security deposit during the period the Tenant occupies the dwelling unit under the Lease. The Landlord shall comply with state and local laws regarding interest payments on security deposits. After the Tenant has moved from the dwelling unit, the Landlord may, subject to state and local law, use the security deposit $1,000.00, including any interest on the deposit, as reimbursement for rent or any other amounts payable by the Tenant under the Lease. The Landlord will give the Tenant a written list of all items charged against the security deposit and the amount of each item. After deducting the amount used as reimbursement to the Landlord, the Landlord shall promptly refund the full amount of the balance to the Tenant. The named Tenant may be eligible for security deposit payment assistance payable to Landlord. In the event that the City pays the security deposit for the Unit on behalf of the Tenant under a federally funded program (including the Permanent Housing Placement Program), after deducting the amount used as reimbursement to the Landlord, the Landlord will promptly refund the full amount of the balance to the City in accordance with HUD regulations. This does not limit Landlord's right to withhold any portion of the deposit that would normally be withheld at termination under the terms of the underlying lease. Based upon the City's review, City will pay a $ 999.00 security deposit, to be paid directly to the Landlord. The Landlord shall immediately notify the City when the Tenant has moved from the Unit. 3.2 Rent and Amounts Payableby City 3.2.1 Rent. Initial Term: • The City has been notified that the Tenant's Total Rent during the Initial Term is $1, 999.00 per month for the Unit. • The Tenant shall be responsible for $709.32 of prorated rent from May 21, 2026, to May 31, 2026. Beginning June 1, 2026, to June 30, 2026, the Tenant shall be responsible for $0.00. Beginning July 1, 2026, to May 31, 2027, the Tenant shall be responsible for $486.00 of rent per month. • The City shall be responsible for $0.00 from May 21 to May 31, 2026.. Beginning June 1, 2026, to June 30, 2026, the City shall be responsible for $1,999.00. Beginning July 1, 2026, to May 315 2027, the City shall be responsible for $1,513.00 of rent per month. A complete history of rental obligations due under this Agreement, per lease term, is included in Attachment A. The City's sole obligation is limited to paying the City Portion of the Rent in accordance with this Agreement. The Tenant shall be liable for rent, payments, and other fees associated with the Unit and City shall not be obligated by law or in equity for any amount other than the City Portion. 3.2.2 Utilities. The named Tenant may be eligible for a utility reimbursement payable to Landlord. The amount of the allowance has been calculated utilizing the Utility Allowance Schedule established by the Tarrant County Housing Assistance Office/Fort Worth Housing Solutions. Based upon the City's Rental Assistance Landlord Agreement Page 2 of 14 review, during the Initial Term, City will pay no more than $0.00 utility reimbursement per month toward the Tenant's utility payments, to be paid directly to the Landlord. 3.2.3 Payment Conditions. The right of the Landlord to receive payments under this Agreement shall be subject to compliance with all of the provisions of the Agreement. The Landlord's signature on this agreement shall be a certification that: 1. The Unit is in decent, safe and sanitary condition, and that the Landlord is providing the services, maintenance and utilities agreed to in the Lease. 2. The Unit is leased to and occupied by the Tenant named above in this Agreement. 3. The Landlord has not received and will not receive any payments as rent for the Unit other than those identified in this Agreement. 4. To the best of the Landlord's knowledge, the unit is used solely as the Tenant's principal place of residence. 3.2.4 Method of Prtyment. Payments made electronically (i.e.- the City's Automated Clearing House network) provide more protection against theft and fraud and can be processed more quickly by the City. If Landlord registers to be paid under this Agreement electronically, City payments will generally be made on or about the first day of the month for which the payment is due. Payments for the first month of the initial term, and any subsequent renewals, may be somewhat delayed as a result of the registration and initial set-up process. If Landlord requests payment under this Agreement by paper check, City payments will be made as promptly as possible following the first day of the month for which payment is due. If Landlord request payment by check, Landlord assumes all liabilities related to theft, fraud, and late payments. If Landlord elects to receive electronic payments, Landlord will not assess any late fee against Tenant or City for late payments by City so long as payments are made within thirty (30) days of the day payment is due. In the event that the lease is provided to the City after the payment date, then Landlord will not assess any late fee against Tenant or City for late payments by City so long as payments are made within thirty (30) days of the day the lease is received by City. If Landlord elects to receive payment by paper check, under no circumstances shall late fees be assessed against Tenant or City for late payment by the City. 3.2.5 Overpayments. If the City determines that the Landlord is not entitled to any payments received, in addition to other remedies the City may deduct the amount of the overpayment from any amounts due the Landlord, including the amounts due under any other Rental Assistance Agreement. 4. TERMINATION. 4.1. Termination of Tenancy: The Landlord may terminate its lease with the Tenant only as authorized by and through and following applicable state and local laws. The Landlord must give the Tenant at least 30 days' written notice of the termination and notify the City in writing within two business days of notifying the Tenant. This may be done by providing City with a copy of the required notice to the tenant. This Agreement shall automatically terminate on the date the tenant's lease terminates. 4.2 Termination of Landlord Services Agreement Rental Assistance Landlord Agreement Page 3 of 14 4.2.1 Written Notice.

In the event no funds or insufficient funds are appropriated by City in any fiscal period for any payments due hereunder, City will notify Landlord of such occurrence and this Agreement shall terminate on the last day of the fiscal period for which appropriations were received without penalty or expense to City of any kind whatsoever, except as to the portions of the payments herein agreed upon for which funds have been appropriated. 4.2.3 HUD Program Year Funding. The City of Fort Worth agrees to commit funding for rental assistance for a period of up to twelve (12) months, subject to the availability of funds allocated in the current program year's budget. The City shall not commit to providing rental assistance beyond this 12- month period unless and until additional funding is received from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for the subsequent program year. In the event that future funding is not secured, the City shall provide written notification to both the tenant and landlord at least ninety (90) days prior to the end of the contract term, advising them that rental assistance will not continue beyond the 12-month commitment.

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 INFORMATIONICERTIFICATION: 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. ro Fund Department Account Project Program Activity Budget I Reference # Amount ID I I ID I I I Year Chartfield 2 FROM Fund Department Account Project Program Activity Budget Reference # I Amount ID I I ID I I I Year I (Chartfield 2) Submitted for City Manager's Office by:, Originating Department Head: Additional Information Contact: ATTACHMENTS Dana Burghdoff (8018) Kacey Bess (8187) Juliet Moses (6203) FORTWORTH.
