FLOOD DISCLOSURE NOTICE
In accordance with Texas law, we are providing the following flood disclosure:
• We O 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 O are or ® are not aware that the unit you are renting has flooded (per the statutory definition
below) at least once within the last five years.
As defined in Texas Property Code 92.0135(a) (2), "flooding" means "a general or temporary
condition of a partial or complete inundation of a dwelling caused by: (A) the overflow of inland or
tidal waters; (B) the unusual and rapid accumulation of runoff or surface waters from any established
water source such as a river, stream, or drainage ditch; or (C) excessive rainfall."

Bed Bug Addendum
Please note: We want to maintain a high -quality living environment for you. It's important to work together to
minimize the potential for bed bugs in your dwelling and others. This Addendum outlines your responsibility
and potential liability when it comes to bed bugs.
1. Addendum. This is an addendum between the Residents and
Owner as described in the Lease for the dwelling described below:
Apt.#
(name of apartments)
or other dwelling located at
(street address of house, duplex, etc.)
(city)
(state) (zip).
2. Purpose. This addendum modifies the Lease Contract to address
any infestation of bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) that might be found
in the dwelling or on your personal property. We will rely on repre-
sentations that you make to us in this addendum.
3. Inspection and Infestations. We are not aware of any current
evidence of bed bugs or bed -bug infestation in the dwelling.
BY SIGNING THIS ADDENDUM, YOU REPRESENT THAT:
• YOU HAVE INSPECTED THE DWELLING BEFORE MOVING
IN OR SIGNING THIS ADDENDUM, AND YOU DID NOT
FIND ANY EVIDENCE OF BED BUGS OR BEDBUG 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 BEDBUG INFES-
TATION.
Access for Inspection and Pest Treatment. You must allow us
and our pest -control agents access to the dwelling at reasonable
times to inspect for or treat bed bugs. We can also inspect and treat
adjacent or neighboring dwellings to the infestation, even if those
dwellings are not the source or cause of the known infestation. Si-
multaneously as we treat the dwelling, you must, at your expense,
have your personal property, furniture, clothing, and possessions
treated according to accepted treatment methods by a licensed
pest -control firm that we approve. You agree not to treat the dwell-
ing for a bed -bug infestation on your own.
5. Notification. You must promptly notify us:
of any known or suspected bed -bug infestation or presence
in the dwelling, or in any of your clothing, furniture, or per-
sonal property;
of any recurring or unexplained bites, stings, irritations, or
sores on the skin or body that you believe are caused by bed
bugs, or by any condition or pest you believe is in the dwell-
ing; AND
if you discover any condition or evidence that might indicate
the presence or infestation of bed bugs, or if you receive any
confirmation of bed -bug presence by a licensed pest -control
professional or other authoritative source.
6. Cooperation. If we confirm the presence or infestation of bed bugs,
you must cooperate and coordinate with us and our pest -control
agents to treat and eliminate them. You must follow all directions
from us or our agents to clean and treat the dwelling and building
that are infested. If you don't cooperate with us, you will be in de-
fault and we will have the right to terminate your right of occupancy
and exercise all rights and remedies under the Lease.
7. Responsibilities. 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. If we allow you to transfer to another dwelling in the com-
munity because of the presence of bed bugs, you must have your
personal property and possessions treated according to accepted
treatment methods or procedures established by a licensed pest -
control professional. You must provide proof of such cleaning and
treatment to our satisfaction.
This Addendum is part of your Lease.
You are legally bound by this document. Please read it carefully.

INSURANCE ADDENDUM
1. Addendum. This is an addendum to the TAA Lease Contract for Apt. No.

Texas.
in the
Apartments in ,
The terms of this addendum will control if the term of the Lease and this addendum conflict.
Required Insurance Policy. In accordance with the Lease, you understand and agree that this addendum requires Resident, at
Resident's sole expense, to buy and maintain a liability insurance policy during the entire Lease term and any renewal periods that provides
limits of liability to third parties in amount not less than $ 100000.00 per occurrence. The liability insurance policy Resident buys
and maintains must cover the actions or inactions of Resident and your occupants and guests, and be issued or underwritten by a carrier
of your choice licensed to do business in Texas. The required insurance policy must identify the Owner identified in the Lease (or another
entity designated by Owner) as an "Interested Party" or "Party of Interest" that will be notified by the insurer of any cancellation, non -
renewal, or material change in your coverage no later than 30 days after such action. You must provide us written proof of compliance with
the Lease and this addendum on or prior to the Lease commencement date; and if you do not you will not be granted possession of the
Premises. You must also provide us written proof of compliance within 7 days of our written request at any other time we request it.
Acknowledgement. You acknowledge that Owner does not acquire or maintain insurance for Resident's benefit or which is designed
to insure you for personal injury, loss or damage to your personal property or belongings, or your own liability for injury, loss or damage
that you (or your occupants or guests) may cause others. Any insurance policy that insures you for personal injury, loss or damage to
your personal property or belongings, or provide you coverage for your own liability for injury, loss or damage that you (or your occupants
or guests) may cause others must be bought and maintained solely by you. We do not and are not able to provide you with information
on insurance coverage, rates, or terms and conditions. You should instead seek such information from a licensed insurance company,
licensed insurance agent, other licensed insurance professional, or the Texas Department of Insurance. The Texas Department of
Insurance website at www.tdi.texas.gov may contain useful consumer information regarding renter's insurance. You further acknowledge
that we have made no referrals, guarantees, representations or promises whatsoever concerning any insurance or services provided by
any insurance company. At all times you have been and remain free to contract for the required insurance with the insurance carrier of
your choosing.
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 $ 150.00
(which you agree is not a liquidated damages amount and which sum shall only apply to each month (or part thereof) you remain in breach
of this insurance addendum). Owner will agree to forego commencement of an eviction based upon non-compliance with this addendum
for a one -month period, during which you shall come into compliance with this addendum. Our choice to accept money from you to forego
pursuit of an eviction for one month does not require us to accept money from you or forego pursuit of our remedies under this paragraph
for any subsequent months. The foregoing payments are due on the 1st day of the month following the calendar month (or part thereof)
during which you do not have the required insurance, with no grace period. PAYMENT OF SAID AMOUNT DOES NOT RELIEVE YOU
OF YOUR OBLIGATION TO BUY AND MAINTAIN INSURANCE AS SUMMARIZED IN PARAGRAPH 2 OF THIS ADDENDUM, DOES
NOT CURE THE MATERIAL BREACH AND DEFAULT DESCRIBED IN THIS PARAGRAPH, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, AND DOES NOT
RELIEVE YOU OF ANY OBLIGATION TO COMPENSATE US OR ANY OTHER PARTY INJURED OR DAMAGED BY THE ACTIONS
OR INACTIONS OF RESIDENT OR YOUR OCCUPANTS OR GUESTS. You further understand that we will not buy an insurance policy
for you or for your benefit, and that nothing in this Lease shall be considered an agreement by Owner to furnish you with any insurance
coverage.
NOTICE TO RESIDENT: YOU SHOULD BE AWARE THAT THE REQUIRED INSURANCE POLICY UNDER THIS ADDENDUM DOES
NOT PROTECT YOU AGAINST LOSS OR DAMAGE TO YOUR PERSONAL PROPERTY OR BELONGINGS. YOU ARE STRONGLY
ENCOURAGED TO BUY INSURANCE THAT COVERS YOU AND YOUR PROPERTY.
I have read, understand and agree to comply with the preceding provisions: [All Residents must sign this addendum]

3. Rent. You must pay your Rent on or before the 1st day of each

and place we specify in accordance with this Lease.
Cash is not acceptable without our prior written
permission. You cannot withhold or offset Rent unless
authorized bylaw. We may, at our option, require at any
time that you pay Rent and other sums due in one single
payment by any method we specify.
3.2. Application of Payments. Payment of each sum due is an
independent covenant, which means payments are due
regardless of our performance. When we receive money,
other than water and wastewater payments subject to
government regulation, we may apply it at our option and
without notice first to any of your unpaid obligations, then
to accrued rent. We may do so regardless of notations on

operated lighting (no flames). You must not allow any
utilities (other than cable or Internet) to be cut off or
switched for any reason —including disconnection for not
paying your bills —until the Lease term or renewal period
ends. Ifa utility is individually metered, it must be connected
in your name and you must notify the provider of your move -
out date. If you delay getting service turned on in your name
bythis Lease's start date or cause it to be transferred back into
our name before you surrender or abandon the apartment,
you'll be liable for the charge listed above (not to exceed $50
per billing period), plus the actual or estimated cost of the
utilities used while the utility should have been billed to you.
If your apartment is individually metered and you change
your retail electric provider, you must give us written notice.
You must pay all applicable provider fees, including any fees
to change service back into our name after you move out.
3.6. Lease Changes. Lease changes are only allowed during the
Lease term or renewal period if governed by Par. 10, specified

amendment signed byyou and us. At or after the end of the
initial Lease term, Rent increases will become effective with at
least 5 days plus the number of days' advance notice contained
in Box F on page 1 in writing from us to you. Your new Lease,
which may include increased Rent or Lease changes, will begin

notice of move out as provided by Par. 25 and forwarding
address in writing to receive a written description and
itemized list of charges or refund. In accordance with this
Lease and as allowed bylaw, we may deduct from your
security deposit any amounts due under this Lease. if you
move out early or in response to a notice to vacate, you'll be
liable for rekeying charges. Upon receipt of your move -out
date and forwarding address in writing, the security deposit
will be returned (less lawful deductions) with an itemized
accounting of any deductions, no later than 30 days after
surrender or abandonment, unless laws provide otherwise.
Any refund may be by one payment jointly payable to all
residents and distributed to any one resident we choose,
or distributed equally among all residents.
6. Insurance. Our insurance doesn't cover the loss of or damage to
your personal property. You will be required to have liability insur-
ance as specified in this Lease unless otherwise prohibited by law. If
you have insurance covering the apartment or your personal belong-
ings at the time you or we suffer or allege a loss, you agree that you
will request and obtain from your insurance carrier a waiver of the in-
surance carrier's subrogation rights. Even if not required, we urge you
to obtain your own insurance for losses due to theft, fire, flood, water,
pipe leaks and similar occurrences. Most renter's insurance policies
don't cover losses due to a flood.
7. Reletting and Early Lease Termination. This Lease may not be ter-
minated early except as provided in this Lease.
7.1. Reletting Charge. You'll be liable for a reletting charge as
listed in Lease Details, (not to exceed 85% of the highest
monthly Rent during the Lease term) if you: (A) fail to move in,
or fail to give written move -out notice as required in Par. 25;
(B) move out without paying Rent in full for the entire Lease
term or renewal period; (C) move out at our demand because
of your default; or (D) are judicially evicted. The reletting
charge is not a termination, cancellation or buyout fee and
does not release you from your obligations under this Lease,
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.
You agree that the reletting charge is a reasonable estimate
of our damages and that the charge is due whether or not our
reletting attempts succeed.
7.2. Early Lease Termination Option Procedure. In addition to
your termination rights referred to in 7.3 or 8.1 below, if this
provision applies under Lease Details, you may opt to
terminate this Lease prior to the end of the Lease term if all of
the following occur: (a) as outlined in Lease Details, you give
us written notice of early termination, pay the Early Termina-
tion Option fee in full and specify the date by which you'll
move out; (b) you are not in default at any time and do not
hold over; and (c) you repay all rent concessions, credits or
discounts you received during the Lease term. If you are in
default, the Lease remedies apply.
7.3. Special Termination Rights. You may have the right under
Texas law to terminate this Lease early in certain situations
involving military deployment or transfer, family violence,
certain sexual offenses, stalking or death ofa sole resident.
8. Delay of Occupancy. We are not responsible for any delay of your
occupancy caused by construction, repairs, cleaning, or a previous
resident's holding over. This Lease will remain in force subject to
(1) abatement of Rent on a daily basis during delay, and (2) your right
to terminate this Lease in writing as set forth below. Rent abatement
and Lease termination do not apply if the delay is for cleaning or re-
pairs that don't prevent you from moving into the apartment.
8.1. Termination. If we give written notice to you of a delay in
occupancy when or after this Lease begins, you may termi-
nate this Lease within 3 days after you receive written notice.
If we give you written notice before the date this Lease begins
and the notice states that a construction or other delay is
expected and that the apartment will be ready for you to
occupy on a specific date, you may terminate this Lease within
7 days after receiving written notice.
After proper termination, you are entitled only to refund of
any deposit(s) and any Rent you paid.

es, or cost of repairs or service in the apartment community because

law, any other cause not due to our negligence or fault, except for
damages by acts of God to the extent they couldn't be mitigated by

photo identification or refuses to identify himself or
herself as a resident, an authorized occupant, or a guest of
a specific resident in the community.

(A) are convicted of any felony, (B) are convicted of any
misdemeanor involving a controlled substance, violence to
another person, or destruction of property, or (C) register as a
sex offender. Informing us ofa criminal conviction or
sex -offender registration doesn't waive any rights we may
have against you.
10.5. Odors, Noise and Construction. You agree that odors
and smells (including those related to cooking),
everyday noises or sounds related to repair, renovation,
improvement, or construction in or around the property
are all a normal part ofa multifamily living environment and
that it is impractical for us to prevent them from penetrating
your apartment.

business associates do not come to your apartment
for business purposes.
12. Animals. No living creatures of any kind are allowed, even tempo-
rarily, anywhere in the apartment or apartment community un-
less we've given written permission. If we allow an animal, you must
sign a separate Animal Addendum and, except as set forth in the ad-
dendum, pay an animal deposit and applicable fees and additional
monthly rent, as applicable. An animal deposit is considered a gener-
al security deposit. You represent that any requests, statements and
representations you make, including those for an assistance or sup-
port animal, are true, accurate and made in good faith. Feeding stray,
feral or wild animals is a breach of this Lease.
12.1. Removal of Unauthorized Animal. We may remove an
unauthorized animal by (1) leaving, in a conspicuous
place in the apartment, a written notice of our intent to
remove the animal within 24 hours; and (2) following the
procedures of Par. 14. We may: keep or kennel the animal;
turn the animal over to a humane society, local authority
or rescue organization; or return the animal to you if
we consent to your request to keep the animal and you

paid all fees. When keeping or kenneling an animal, we
won't be liable for loss, harm, sickness, or death of the
animal unless due to our negligence. You must pay for
the animal's reasonable care and kenneling charges.
12.2. Violations of Animal Policies and Charges. If you or
any guest or occupant violates the animal restrictions of
this Lease or our Community Policies, you'll be subject to
charges, damages, eviction, and other remedies
provided in this Lease, including animal violation charges

brought into your apartment until it is removed. If an
animal has been in the apartment at any time during
your term of occupancy (with or without our consent),
we'll charge you for all cleaning and repaircosts,
including defleaing, deodorizing, and shampooing. Initial
and daily animal -violation charges and animal -removal
charges are liquidated damages for our time,
inconvenience, and overhead in enforcing animal
restrictions and Community Policies.
13. Parking. You may not be guaranteed parking. We may regulate the
time, manner, and place of parking of all motorized vehicles and
other modes of transportation, including bicycles and scooters, in
this Lease. In addition to other rights we have to tow or boot vehicles
under state law, we also have the right to remove, at the expense of
the vehicle owner or operator, any vehicle that is not in compliance
with this Lease.
14. When We May Enter. If you or any other resident, guest or occupant
is present, then repair or service persons, contractors, law officers,
government representatives, lenders, appraisers, prospective resi-
dents or buyers, insurance agents, persons authorized to enter under
your rental application, or our representatives may peacefully enter
the apartment at reasonable times for reasonable business purposes.
If nobody is in the apartment, then any such person may enter peace-
fully and at reasonable times (by breaking a window or other means
when necessary) for reasonable business purposes if written notice of
the entry is left in a conspicuous place in the apartment immediately
after the entry. We are under no obligation to enter only when you
are present, and we may, but are not obligated to, give prior notice or
make appointments.

15. Requests, Repairs and Malfunctions.
15.1. Written Requests Required. If you 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 whether or which vendors to use,
are within our sole discretion.
15.2. Your Requirement to Notify. You must promptly notify us in
writing of air conditioning or heating problems, water leaks or
moisture, mold, electrical problems, malfunctioning lights,
broken or missing locks or latches, or any other condition that
poses a hazard or threat to property, health, or safety. Unless
we instruct otherwise, you are required to keep the
apartment cooled or heated according to this Lease. Air
conditioning problems are normally not emergencies.
15.3. Utilities. We may change or install utility lines or
equipment serving the apartment if the work is done
reasonably without substantially increasing your
utility costs. We may turn off equipment and interrupt
utilities as needed to perform work or to avoid
property damage or other emergencies. If utilities
malfunction or are damaged by fire, water, or similar
cause, you must notify our representative immediately.
15.4. Your Remedies. We'll act with customary diligence to
make repairs and reconnections within a reasonable
time, taking into consideration when casualty -insurance
proceeds are received. Unless required by statute after
a casualty loss, or during equipment repair, your Rent
will not abate in whole or in part. "Reasonable time"
accounts 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 892.0561; (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 solejudgment, 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, store, or dispose of your personal property if,
in our sole judgment, it poses a health or safety hazard or impedes
our ability to make repairs.
Texas Property Code secs. 92.151, 92.153, and 92.154 require, with
some exceptions, that we provide at no cost to you when occupancy
begins: (A) a window latch on each window; (8) a doorviewer (peep-
hole or window) on each exterior door; (C) a pin lock on each sliding
door; (D) either a door -handle latch or a security bar on each sliding
door; (E) a keyless bolting device (deadbolt) on each exterior door;
and (F) either a keyed doorknob lock or a keyed deadbolt lock on
one entry door. Keyed locks will be rekeyed after the prior resident
moves out. The rekeying will be done either before you move in or
within 7 days after you move in, as required bylaw. If we fail to in-
stall or rekeysecurity devices as required bylaw, you have the right
to do so and deduct the reasonable cost from your next Rent pay-
ment under Texas Property Code sec. 92.165(1). We may deactivate
or not install keyless bolting devices on your doors if (A) you or an
occupant in the dwelling is over 55 or disabled, and (8) the require-
ments of Texas Property Code sec. 92.153(e) or (f) are satisfied.
18.1. Smoke Alarms and Detection Devices. We'll furnish
smoke alarms or other detection devices required by law
or city ordinance. We may install additional detectors
not so required. We'll test them and provide working
batteries when you first take possession of your
apartment. Upon request, we'll provide, as required by
law, a smoke alarm capable of alerting a person with a
hearing impairment.
You must pay for and replace batteries as needed,
unless the law provides otherwise. We may replace dead
or missing batteries at your expense, without prior notice
to you. Neither you nor your guests or occupants may
disable alarms or detectors. 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. You'll be liable if you fail to
report malfunctions, or fail to report any loss, damage, or
fines resulting from fire, smoke, or water.
19. Resident Safety and Loss. Unless otherwise required bylaw, none
of us, our employees, agents, or management companies are liable
to you, your guests or occupants for any damage, personal injury,
loss to personal property, or loss of business or personal income,
from any cause, including but not limited to: negligent or intention-
al acts of residents, occupants, or guests; theft, burglary, assault,
vandalism or other crimes; fire, flood, water leaks, rain, hail, ice,
snow, smoke, lightning, wind, explosions, interruption of utilities,
pipe leaks or other occurrences unless such damage, injury or loss is
caused exclusively by our negligence.
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. Any charges resulting from the use of an intrusion alarm will be
charged to you, including, but not limited to, any false alarms with
police/fire/ambulance response or other required city charges.
20. Condition of the Premises and Alterations.
16.1. Property Closure. We also have the right to terminate 20.1
this Lease and your right to possession by giving you at
least 30 days' written notice of termination 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.
17. Assignments and Subletting. You may not assign this Lease or sub-
let your apartment. You agree that you won't rent, offer to rent or
license all or any part of your apartment to anyone else unless other-
wise agreed to in advance by us in writing. You agree that you won't
accept anything of value from anyone else for the use of any part of
your apartment. You agree not to list any part of your apartment on
any lodging or short-term rental website or with any person or ser-
vice that advertises dwellings for rent.
18. Security and Safety Devices. We'll pay for missing security devic-
es that are required by law. You'll oav for: (Al rekevina that you
request (unless we failed to rekey after the previous resident
moved out); and (B) repairs or replacements because of misuse
or damaae by you or your family, your occupants, or your guests.
You must pay immediately after the work is done unless state law au-
thorizes advance payment. You must also pay in advance for any ad-
ditional or changed security devices you request.
20.2.
As -Is. We disclaim all implied warranties. You accept the
apartment, fixtures, and furniture as is, except for
conditions materially affecting the health or safety of
ordinary persons. You'll be given an Inventory and
Condition Form at or before move -in. You agree that
after completion of the form or within 48 hours after
move -in, whichever comes first, you must note on the
form all defects or damage, sign the form, return it to
us, and the form accurately reflects the condition of the
premises for purposes of determining any refund due to
you when you move out. Otherwise, everything will be
considered to be in a clean, safe, and good working
condition. You must still send a separate request for any
repairs needed as provided by Par. 15.1.
Standards and Improvements. Unless authorized by
law or by us in writing, you must not perform any repairs,
painting, wallpapering, carpeting, electrical changes, or
otherwise alter our property. No holes or stickers are
allowed inside or outside the apartment. Unless this Lease
states otherwise, we'll permit a reasonable number of small
nail holes for hanging pictures on sheetrock walls and in
grooves of wood -paneled walls. No water furniture, washing
machines, dryers, extra phone or television outlets, alarm
systems, cameras, two-way talk device, video or other door

bells, or lock changes, additions, or rekeying is permitted
unless required by law or we've consented in writing. You may
install a satellite dish or antenna, but only if you sign our
satellite dish or antenna lease addendum, which complies
with reasonable restrictions allowed by federal law. You must
not alter, damage, or remove our property, including alarm
systems, detection devices, appliances, furniture, telephone
and television wiring, screens, locks, or security devices. When
you move in, we'll supply light bulbs for fixtures we furnish,
including exterior fixtures operated from inside the
apartment; after that, you'll replace them at your expense
with bulbs of the same type and wattage. Your improvements
to the apartment (made with or without our consent) become
ours unless we agree otherwise in writing.
21. Notices. Written notice to or from our employees, agents, or manage-
ment company constitutes notice to or from us. Notices to you or any
other Resident constitute notice to all Residents. Notices and requests
from any Resident constitute notice from all Residents. Only a Resident
may can give notice of Lease termination and intent to move out under
Par. 7.3. All notices and documents will be in English and, at our option,
in any other language that you read or speak.
21.1. Electronic Notice. If allowed by law and in accordance with
this Lease, we may give you notice electronically, by email, by
phone, or by delivery to your physical address,
You agree that electronic or emailed notices from us to you
may include, without limitation, a Notice to Pay Rent or Vacate
or a Notice to Vacate. Electronic or emailed notice from you to
us must be sent to the email address and/or resident portal
specified in this Lease. You represent that you have provided
your current email address to us during the rental application
process, and agree we may use that address or any updated
address you later provide in writing, for all notices and
communications permitted under this Lease. You must notify
us in writing if your email address changes.
21.2. Resident Email for Notices. You further agree that the email
address you provided in the rental application process or any
other email address that you have used to communicate with us
may be used for receiving a Notice to Vacate or Notice to Pay
Rent or Vacate, in addition to all other notices under this Lease.
You may update the email address in your application only by
providing written notice to us of the new email address. Any
notice sent to the email address you designated in your rental
application or to any other email address you have used to
communicate with us will be considered delivered when sent.
22. Liability. Each resident is jointly and severally liable for all Lease
obligations. If you or any guest or occupant violates this Lease or our
Community Policies, all residents are considered to have violated this
Lease.
22.1. Indemnification by You. You'll defend, indemnifyand hold us
and our employees, agents, and management company
harmless from all liability arising from your conduct or 24.
requests to our representatives and from the conduct of or
requests by your invitees, occupants or guests.
23. Default by Resident.
23.1. Acts of Default. You'll be in default if: (A) you don't
timely pay Rent, including monthly recurring charges, or
other amounts you owe; (B) you or any guest or
occupant violates this Lease, our Community Policies,
or fire, safety, health, criminal or other laws, regardless of
whether or where arrestor conviction occurs; (C) you
give incorrect, incomplete, or false answers in a rental
application or in this Lease; or (D) you or any occupant is
charged, detained, convicted, or given deferred

involving actual or potential physical harm to a person, or
involving the manufacture or delivery of a controlled
substance, marijuana, or drug paraphernalia as defined
in the Texas Controlled Substances Act, or (2) any sex -
related crime, including a misdemeanor.
23.2. Eviction. If you default, including holding over, we may end
your rights of occupancy and possession by giving you at
least a 24 -hour written Notice to Vacate or written Notice to
PayRent or Vacate, eitherofwhich maybegiven byanymethod
allowed under law, including email and other electronic
means. Any notice period in a notice to vacate or notice
to pay or vacate that ends on a Saturday, Sunday, or
state or federal holiday will be shortened to end on that day
- it will not be extended to the next business day.
Termination of your possession rights doesn't release you
from liability forfuture re Rent or other Lease obligations. After
giving Notice to Pay Rent or Vacate (if you don't timely pay)
or Notice to Vacate or filing an eviction suit, we may still
accept Rent or other sums due, the filing or acceptance
doesn't waive or diminish ourright of eviction or any other
contractual orstatutoryright. 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 Pay Rent or Vacate (if you
don't timely pay) or our Notice to Vacate, (3) our notice of non -
renewal, or (4) a written agreement specifying a different
move -out date. Ifa holdover occurs, then you'll be liable to us
for all Rent for the full term of the previously signed lease of a
new resident who can't occupy because of the holdover, and
at our option, we may extend the Lease term and/or increase
the Rent by 250/6 by delivering written notice to you or your
apartment while you continue to hold over.
23.5. Other Remedies. We may report unpaid amounts to
credit agencies as allowed by law. If we or our debt
collector tries to collect any money you owe us, you
agree that we or the debt collector may contact you by
any legal means. If you default, you will pay us, in addition
to other sums due, any rental discounts or concessions
agreed to in writing that have been applied to your account.
We may recover attorney's fees in connection with enforcing
our rights under this Lease. All unpaid amounts you owe bear
interest at the rate provided by Texas Finance Code Section
304.003(c) from the due date. You must pay all collection -
agency fees if you fail to pay sums due within 10 days after
you are mailed a letter demanding payment and stating that
collection -agency fees will be added if you don't pay all sums
by that deadline. You are also liable for costs to cover our time
and expenses for any eviction proceeding against you, plus
our attorney's fees and expenses, court costs, and filing fees
actually paid.
23.6. Electronic Court Appearances. You agree that, to the extent
permitted by law, any court proceeding (including an eviction
case) related to this Lease may be conducted by videoconfer-
ence, teleconference, or other available electronic means.
Nothing in this paragraph limits either party's right to request
or agree to an in -person appearance in a specific proceeding.
Representatives' Authority and Waivers. Our representatives (in-
cluding management personnel, employees, and agents) have no
authority to waive, amend, or terminate this Lease or any part of it
unless in writing and signed, and no authority to make promises, rep-
resentations, or agreements that impose security duties orotherob-
ligations on us or our representatives, unless in writing and signed.
No action or omission by us will be considered a waiver of our rights or of
any subsequent violation, default, or time or place of performance. Our
choice to enforce, not enforce or delay enforcement of written -no-
tice requirements, rental due dates, acceleration, liens, or any other
rights isn't a 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. Before moving out you must give our represen-
tative advance written move -out notice as stated in Par. 4, even if
this Lease has become a month -to -month lease. The move -out date
can't be changed unless we and you both agree in writing.
Your move -out notice must comply with each of the following:
(a) Unless we require more than 30 days' notice, if you give
notice on the first day of the month you intend to move
out, move out will be on the last day of that month.
(b) Your move -out notice must not terminate this Lease
before the end of the Lease term or renewal period.
(c) If we require you to give us more than 30 days' written
notice to move out before the end of the Lease term, we

lvi Blue Moon eSignature Services Document ID: 605496347
will give you 1 written reminder not less than 5 days nor
more than 90 days before your deadline for giving us
your written move -out notice. If we fail to give a reminder
notice, 30 days' written notice to move out is required.
(d) You must get from us a written acknowledgment of your
notice.
26. Move -Out Procedures.
26.1. Cleaning. You mustthoroughly clean the apartment, including
doors, windows, furniture, bathrooms, kitchen appliances,
patios, balconies, garages, carports, and storage rooms. You
must follow move -out cleaning instructions if they have been
provided. If you don't clean adequately, you'll be liable for
reasonable cleaning charges —including charges for cleaning
carpets, draperies, furniture, walls, etc. that are soiled beyond
normal wear (that is, wear or soiling that occurs without
negligence, carelessness, accident, or abuse).
26.2. Move -Out Inspection. We may, but are not obligated to,
provide a joint move -out inspection. Our representatives
have no authority to bind or limit us regarding deductions for
repairs, damages, or charges. Any statements or estimates by
us or our representative are subject to our correction, modi-
fication, or disapproval before final accounting or refunding.
27. Surrender and Abandonment. You have surrendered the apartment
when: (A) the move -out date on your notice to us, the non -renewal

able judgment; or (B) apartment keys and access devices listed in

You have abandoned the apartment when all of the following have
occurred: (A) everyone appears to have moved out in our reasonable
judgment; (B) you've been in default for nonpayment of Rent for 5
consecutive days, or water, gas, or electric service for the apartment
not connected in our name has been terminated or transferred; and
(C) you've not responded for 2 days to our notice left on the inside of
the main entry door stating that we consider the apartment aban-
doned. An apartment is also considered abandoned 10 days after the
death of a sole resident.
27.1. The Ending of Your Rights. Surrender, abandonment, or
judicial eviction ends your right of possession for all purposes
and gives us the immediate right to clean up, make repairs in,
and relet the apartment; determine any security -deposit
deductions; and remove or store property left in the apartment.
27.2. Removal and Storage of Property. We, or law officers, may —
but have no duty to —remove or store all property that in our

or if you surrender or abandon the apartment.
We're not liable for casualty, loss, damage, or theft. You
must pay reasonable charges for our packing, removing and
storing any property.
Except for animals, we may throw away or give to a charitable
organization all personal property that is:
(1) left in the apartment after surrender or abandonment; or
(2) left outside more than 1 hour after writ of possession is
executed, following judicial eviction.
An animal removed after surrender, abandonment, or eviction
may be kenneled or turned over to a local authority, humane
society, or rescue organization.
28. TAA Membership. We, the management company representing us,
or any locator service that you used confirms membership in good
standing of both the Texas Apartment Association and the affiliated
local apartment association for the area where the apartment is
located at the time of signing this Lease. If not, the following applies:
(A) this Lease is voidable at your option and is unenforceable by us
(except for property damages); and (B) we may not recover past or
future rent or other charges. The above remedies also apply if both
of the following occur: (1) this Lease is automatically renewed on a
month -to -month basis more than once after membership in TAA and
the local association has lapsed; and (2) neitherthe owner northe man-
agement company is a member of TAA and the local association during
the third automatic renewal. A signed affidavit from the affiliated local
apartment association attesting to nonmembership when this Lease
or renewal was signed will be conclusive evidence of nonmembership.
Governmental entities may use TAA forms if TAA agrees in writing.
Name, address and telephone number of locator service (if applicable):
29. Severability and Survivability. If any provision of this Lease is inval-
id or unenforceable under applicable law, it won't invalidate the re-
mainder of this Lease or change the intent of the parties. Paragraphs
10.1,10.2,16, 22.1, 27, 30 and 31 shall survive the termination of
this Lease. This Lease binds subsequent owners.

or management company. You must file any claim against us
individually, and you expressly waive your right to bring,

tial performance of any obligation under this Lease by
occurrences that are beyond our control, including but
not limited to, an act of God, strikes, epidemics, war, acts of
terrorism, riots, flood, fire, hurricane, tornado, sabotage or

IV I Addendum
TEXAS APARTMENT ASSOCIATION
Please note: We want to maintain a high -quality living environment for our residents. To help achieve this goal,
it is important that we work together to minimize any mold growth in your dwelling. This Addendum contains

If small areas of mold have already accumulated on nonporous
surfaces (such as ceramic tile, formica, vinyl flooring, metal, wood,
or plastic), the Environmental Protection Agency recommends
that you first clean the areas with soap (or detergent) and water
and let the surface dry thoroughly. When the surface is dry —and
within 24 hours of cleaning —apply a premixed spray -on household
biocide.
Do not clean or apply biocides to visible mold on porous sur-
faces such as sheetrock walls or ceilings or to large areas of visible
mold on nonporous surfaces. Instead, notify us in writing and we
will take appropriate action to comply with Section 92.051 et seq. of
the Texas Property Code, subject to the special exceptions for natu-
ral disasters.
If you fail to comply with this addendum, you can be held respon-

2. Asbestos. In most dwellings which were built prior to 1981,
asbestos was commonly used as a construction material. In
various parts of your dwelling, asbestos materials may have
been used in the original construction or in renovations prior
to the enactmentoffederaI lawswhich limit asbestos in certain
construction materials.
Federal Recommendations.The United States Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) has determined that the mere
presence of asbestos materials does not pose a health risk to
residents and that such materials are safe so long as they are
notdislodged ordisturbed in a mannerthatcausesthe asbestos
fibers to be released. Disturbances include sanding, scraping,
pounding, or other techniques that produce dust and cause
the asbestos particles to become airborne. The EPA does not
require that intact asbestos materials be removed. Instead,
the law simply requires that we take reasonable precautions
to minimize the chance of damage or disturbance of those
materials.
Community Policies and Rules. You, your families, other
occupants, and guests must not disturb or attach anything to
the walls, ceilings, floor tiles, or insulation behind the walls or
ceilings in yourdwelling unlessspecifi callyallowed in owner's

t. Addendum. This is an addendum to the TAA Lease Contract for Apt. No. at (street address)
, Texas. OR the house, duplex, etc. located at (street address)
in , Texas. The terms of this addendum will control if the terms of
the Lease and this addendum conflict.
2. Mutual conservation efforts. We agree to use our best efforts to repair any water leaks inside or outside your
apartment no later than 7 days after we learn about them. You agree to use your best efforts to conserve water and
notify us of leaks.
3. Your payment due date. Payment of your water and wastewater bill is due 16 days after the date it is postmarked or
hand delivered to your apartment. You agree to mail or deliver payment to the place indicated on your bill so that
payment is received no later than the due date. You will pay a late charge of 5% of your water and wastewater bill if we
do not receive your payment on time.
4. Previous average. As required under PUC rules, you are notified that the average monthly bill for all dwelling units in
the previous calendar year was $ 57.80 per unit, varying from $ 8.56 to $ 236.04
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. Please give us reasonable advance notice to gather the data. Any disputes relating to the
computation of your bill will be between you and us.
One of the following applies:
O Submeter billing procedures
A. Your monthly water and wastewater bill will be submetered. Please see the applicable rules of the PUC
(attached).
B. As permitted by state law, a service fee of % (not to exceed 9%) will be added to your monthly
water -service charges.
C. No other administrative or other fees will be added to your bill unless expressly allowed by law or PUC rules. No
other amounts will be included in the bill except your unpaid balances and any late fees (if incurred by you). If
we fail to pay our mastermeter bill to the utility company on time and incur penalties or interest, no portion of
these amounts will be included in your bill.
D. 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 day of
the month to the day of the month, the latter being our scheduled submeter-reading date. Your
bill will be calculated in accordance with PUC rules and this Addendum and will be prorated for the first and last
months you live in the unit.
® Allocation billing procedures
A. Your monthly water and wastewater bill will be allocated. Please see the applicable rules of the PUC (attached).
B. Common area deduction. Before calculating your portion of the bill, we will deduct for irrigation of landscaping
and all other common area uses, as required by PUC rules. We will also deduct for any utility company base
charges and customer service charges so that you won't be paying any part of such charges for vacant units.
No administrative or other fees will be added to the total mastermeter water/wastewater bill(s) to be allocated
unless expressly allowed by PUC rules. No other amounts will be included in the bill except your unpaid
balances and any late fees you incur. If we fail to pay our mastermeter bill to the utility company on time and
incur penalties or interest, no portion of such amounts will be included in your bill.
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):
71 subdivision (i) actual occupancy;
71 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);
subdivision (iv) combination of actual occupancy and square feet of the apartment; or
O subdivision (v) submetered hot/cold water, ratio to total.
D. The normal date on which the utility company sends its monthly bill to us for the water/wastewater mastermeter
is about the 18 day of the month. Within 10 days thereafter, we will try to allocate that mastermeter
bill among our residents by allocated billings.

SUBCHAPTER I: WATER UTILITY SUBMETERING AND ALLOCATION
§ 24.275. General Rules and Definitions
(a) Purpose and scope. The provisions of this subchapter are intended to
establish a comprehensive regulatory system to assure that the practices
involving submetered and allocated billing of dwelling units and multiple use
facilities for water and sewer utility service are just and reasonable and
include appropriate safeguards for tenants.
(b) Application. The provisions of this subchapter apply to apartment houses,
condominiums, multiple use facilities, and manufactured home rental
communities billing for water and wastewater utility service on a submetered

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
ivl Blue Moon eSignature Services Document ID: 605496347
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:
(1) 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 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 (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 (a) of this section; or
(2) install submeters and begin billing on a submetered basis; or
(3) discontinue billing for utility services.
§ 24.283. Billing
(a) Monthly billing of total charges. The owner shall bill the tenant each month
for the total charges calculated under §24.281 of this title (relating to Charges
and Calculations). If it is permitted in the rental agreement, an occupant or
occupants who are not residing in the rental unit for a period longer than 30
days may be excluded from the occupancy calculation and from paying a
water and sewer bill for that period.
(b) Rendering bill.
(1) Allocated bills shall be rendered as promptly as possible 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 cubicfeet 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
ivl Blue Moon eti nature Services Document ID: 605496347
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.
(I) Disputed bills. In the event of a dispute between a tenant and an owner
regarding any bill, the owner shall investigate the matter and reportthe 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

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. Theowner 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.

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 thetenant 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

1. 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. When natural gas bills are paid by the property owner, residents have no incentive to conserve
gas and heat. This results in a waste of our state's natural resources and adds to the overhead of the property —and that
usually means higher rents. On the other hand, allocation of gas raises everyone's awareness of the need to conserve gas
and heat and to pay attention to the thermostat and heat loss through open doors or windows. It should therefore minimize
the necessity for rent increases to cover wasteful practices of other residents regarding heating and gas consumption.
3. Your payment due date. Payment of your allocated gas bill is due 16 days after the date it is postmarked or hand delivered
to your apartment. You agree to mail or deliver payment to the place indicated on your bill so that payment is received no later
than the due date. You will pay a late charge of $ (not to exceed $3) if we do not receive timely payment. If
you are late in paying the gas bill, we may not cut off your gas; but we may immediately exercise all other lawful remedies,
including eviction just like late payment of rent.
4. Allocation procedures. Your monthly rent under the TAA Lease Contract does not include a charge for natural gas.
Instead, you will be receiving a separate bill from us each month for gas. We may include this item as a separate and distinct
charge as part of a multi -item bill.
You agree to and we will allocate the monthly gas bill for the apartment community based on the allocation method checked
below.
❑ A percentage reflecting your apartment unit's share of the total square footage in the apartment community, i.e., your
unit's square footage divided by the total square footage in all apartment units.
LJ A percentage reflecting your apartment unit's share of the total number of people living in the apartment community,
i.e., the number of people living in your apartment divided by the total number of people living in the entire apartment
community for the month. ("People" for this purpose are all residents and occupants listed in leases at the apartment
community as having a right to occupy the respective units.)
x❑ Half of your allocation will be based on your apartment unit's share of total square footage and half will be based on your
share of total people living in the apartment community, as described above.
❑ Per dwelling unit
❑ Other formula
5. Common area deduction. Only the total mastermeter gas bill will be allocated. Before the bill is allocated, a deduction
of 5 percent will be made to cover estimated gas consumption in any common areas, such as: (1) gas dryers and
room heating in laundry rooms; or (2) hot water heating for pools, spas or laundry rooms. Penalties or interest for any late
payment of the mastermeter gas bill by us will be paid for by us and will not be allocated. A nominal administrative fee of
$ 3.00 per month (not to exceed $3) will be added to your bill for processing, billing and/or collecting.
6. Change of allocation formula. The above allocation formula for determining your share of the natural gas bill cannot be
changed except as follows: (1) you receive notice of the new formula at least 35 days before it takes effect; and (2) you agree
to the change in a signed lease renewal or signed mutual agreement.
7. Right to examine records. You may examine our gas bills from the utility company and our calculations relating to the
monthly allocation of the gas bills during regular weekday office hours. Please give us reasonable advance notice to gather
the data.

2. Use of Appliances. You (as residents) have permission from us (as owner) to install and use (check all that apply):
N a washing machine and/or ® a dryer in the dwelling unit described above, subject to the conditions in this addendum.
Please remember that we do not select your washing machine or dryer, install them, maintain them, or use them. You are
in the best position to prevent water, fire, smoke or other damage caused by: (1) a defective washing machine or dryer;
(2) a washing machine or dryer accident; or (3) improper installation, maintenance or use of a washing machine or dryer.
3. 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. New hoses. When installing the washing machine, you must use new hoses since bursting or leaking hoses are the most
common cause of water damage. Stainless braided water hoses are recommended. Similarly, you should use a new dryer
vent hose when installing your dryer.
7. 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. You will have the sole responsibility for maintaining your washing machine and all related hardware. Such
maintenance must include, but is not limited to, regularly cleaning lint from your dryer's lint trap.

belongings from accidental water discharge from your washing machine or other causes. Similarly, it must provide coverage
for fire or smoke damage from your washing machine and/or dryer. It must also provide coverage for any potential liability,
due to your fault, for water, fire, smoke or other damage to other units and to personal property of others. You must verify

INSURANCE
As stated in your Apartment Lease Contract and in the
Security Guidelines for Residents, the apartment
community provides no guarantee of personal safety
and security.

Obtain adequate renter's insurance coverage for
your personal belongings.
•3 Obtain adequate automobile insurance coverage
Practice the tips outlined in the Security
Guidelines for Residents. (See pages 3 and 4)
FIRE
Fires are a serious problem in apartment
communities, much more so than in a single-family
dwelling, due to the number of families living within
each building. Though damage is usually confined to
property loss and damage, the loss of personal items
can be quite an emotional experience. Most often
started through carelessness with cooking, matches,
cigarettes, and fireplaces, many fires can be avoided by
using caution and common sense.
Be prepared plan ahead for everyone's safety
As part of your planning, explore your community.
Know every possible exit, including exits from laundry,
storage and clubrooms. If hallways become smoky in a
fire, your memory can help you find the way out.
Remember never to use elevators in a fire. Keep exit and
stairwell doors closed at all time, but not locked. Keep
exits clear of debris and storage.
Focus on these four elements in your fire safety plan:
Prevention
Detection
Escape planning and practice
Fire Department notification (Dial 911)
An ounce of prevention
An ounce of prevention can save your life. Prevention
is your best insurance against fire. We recommend that
you take these simple fire safety precautions in your
own apartment to prevent fires from starting:
Let cooking grease cool and pour into a metal can.
❖ Monitor children carefully. Do not let children
cook on the stove.
Keep lighters and matches out of the reach of
children.
Avoid cooking while intoxicated, medicated, or
sleepy.
Rather than trash cans, use an empty metal
container such as a coffee can for ashtray
disposal.
Do not remove, disable, or take batteries out of
your smoke detector(s). Test smoke detectors
monthly to make sure they are still functional.
Do not store gas -operated tools or vehicles
(motorcycles) inside the apartment or under
stairwells.
Barbecue grills are not allowed on balconies,
patios or stored under stairways.
Fireplace safety
Use dry and well -seasoned hardwoods. Softwoods
tend to burn away too quickly, and scrap lumber
produces excessive sparks.
$• Never use compressed wood dipped in tar, pitch,
creosote, such as DuraFlame logs, as this
produces sputtering, smoking fires with toxic
fumes and causes build-up inside chimney.
Never use fire starters such as charcoal lighter or
kerosene and definitely no "gasoline."
Never burn trash or Christmas trees in the
fireplace.
Always use a log grate. It positions the fire
properly and ensures a good flow of combustible
air to and around the fire —producing the most
efficient fire.
Do not drop logs into the fireplace as this may
damage the fireplace floor and walls.
Build moderate to small fires. Most fireplaces in
apartments are not designed for roaring fires.
Be sure the damper is open before starting the
fire and close the damper securely only when the
fire is completely out and the ashes are cold.
Use a fireplace screen and keep it clean.
To start a fire, crumble newspapers on grate and
lay in small pieces of dry kindling wood. Place two
or three small logs to rear of grate. Open damper
and light newspapers, then close screen to keep
sparks and embers in.
Never leave the fire unattended or with
unattended children.
•3 Never clean or empty the fireplace until the fire is
out and ashes are cold. Always place in a metal
ash container (not plastic or paper trash bag) to
cool off or be watered down. Ashes three to four
days old that were thought to be out have caused
many fires.
Never leave ashes inside garages or on balconies.
Do not dispose of your ashes in flower or shrub
beds. Set them outside in a safe place.
Never put hot ashes in a dumpster.
lvi Blue Moon eSignature Services Document ID: 605496347
Never store firewood in any manner that would
inhibit or block any exit, stairway or balcony if it
caught fire.
Fire laws and insurance requirements prohibit the use of
BBQ grills in breezeways, balconies, patios, or within 10
feet of a building. Lighter fluid and flames are
potentially hazardous to items such as boxes, furniture
and the building.
Make sure smoke detectors work properly
If a fire occurs, smoke detectors alert you right away
so that you can get out of the building safely.
If you notice that smoke detectors in your own
apartment or in public hallways are beeping, be sure to
change batteries or have electrical systems checked.
Under your lease, it is your responsibility to replace
dead or missing batteries immediately. Do not disable
your smoke detector. Disabling a smoke detector or
removing working batteries is a violation of Texas law.
Establish and practice escape plans
In a fire, there is no time to stop and think. You need
to know in advance two escape routes from your
apartment and your building. That is why it is critical
that you make and practice escape plans.
Q• Determine evacuation procedures, and decide on
a meeting place outdoors. Go there as soon as
you exit the building and stay there. This way, you
can keep track of who is out and who may be
trapped inside. If you think someone is trapped,
tell the fire department. Never go back into the
building yourself.
Practice! Rehearse your escape plans. Make sure
that your children understand the plan. Do you
have senior citizens, infants, disabled or ill
occupants living with you who will need help?
Plan for these situations now.
IN CASE OF FIRE, CALL 911 A.S.A.P!
What to do if fire strikes
Do not rush out of your apartment into the hallway.
First, feel the door. If it is hot, use another way out. If
the door is cool, leave by the nearest exit.
Use the stairs. Close all doors behind you to slow fire
spread.
If your planned escape route becomes smoky, get down
on your hands and knees and crawl. Smoke rises, so the
cleanest air is near the floor.
If you cannot escape your apartment, stuff wet
towels, sheets and clothes around the door and vents to
keep smoke out. Call the fire department and tell them
where you are. If no smoke is coming into the room you
are in, open a window slightly. Stay low and wave a
bright cloth, towel or sheet out a window to signal your
location.
Remember, by accepting your responsibility to keep
your apartment safe from fire, you are not only
protecting yourself, but your neighbors as well. A little
bit of planning and awareness can make the difference
between safety and disaster for everyone.
FREEZING WEATHER
In the event of severe, freezing weather, please take
the following precautions:
Drip all the faucets in your apartment. Drip both
the HOT and COLD water.
Turn on the heat and set on 50° minimum. Open
your closet and cabinet doors to expose plumbing
pipes so that these spaces are heated.
If you are going to be away from your apartment for
an extended period, please leave the thermostat on 50°
minimum. These precautions are essential to avoid
substantial damage to your apartment from broken
pipes.
If you have negligently failed to take these
precautions, you may be liable for damages to you and
your neighbor's apartment. This is especially important
if you do not have insurance to cover this damage.
STORMS (Violent or Electrical Thunderstorms)
Spring usually brings with it rapidly changing weather
patterns including violent electrical and/or
thunderstorms.
The following actions will help prevent damage to the
property caused by high wind and heavy rain:
Secure outdoor furniture, plants, and decorations
to prevent them from blowing away or blowing
into windows, cars, etc.
3 Make sure all doors and windows are securely
closed.
Turn off and unplug computers, television sets
and all other electrical equipment.
Stay indoors.
SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY AND NOISE
Identifying suspicious behavior
Anything that seems unusual or "out of place" could
be criminal activity. Working as a partner with police,
every resident has a responsibility to report any
suspicious behavior. Do not think that you are bothering
the police. Consider the results if a crime is in progress
and you do not act!
Never attempt to apprehend a person committing a
crime or to investigate suspicious activity. Leave any
confrontations to the police. Allow police to perform the
job they are trained to do.
Not every stranger who enters your property is a
criminal, but criminals do take advantage of activity in
apartment communities by pretending to be
legitimately involved in sales, repair, and service. If you
see any solicitors in your community contact the office.
If you suspect that any employee is involved in illegal
activity, please contact the Manager immediately.
Noise from neighbors
If you have a noise complaint concerning a neighbor,
we recommend the following procedure:
First, calmly speak with your neighbors yourself.
They may not be aware of the disturbance.
Second, if the problem persists, contact the
management office. After office hours, the
answering service will contact a staff member to
address the problem. Please call the office again
during business hours so that we can monitor the
situation.
Third, contact the police. These calls are
considered low priority, but they will respond.
Blue Moon eSignature Services Document ID: 605496347
Solicitors
For your personal safety and protection, do not allow
strangers into your apartment. Your apartment
community does not allow door-to-door solicitors of any
type. If you are bothered by solicitors, please contact
the office or local police department.
Lighting
The maintenance of the exterior lighting at our
community is an important part of our maintenance
program. If you notice that lights are out, please contact
our office and we will handle your request.
SECURITY GUIDELINES FOR RESIDENTS
In cooperation with the Texas Apartment Association,
we'd like to give you some important safety guidelines.
The Texas Police Association and the Sheriffs'
Association of Texas have approved these suggestions.
We recommend that you follow these guidelines and
use common sense in practicing safe conduct. Inform all
other occupants in your dwelling, including any children
you may have, about these guidelines.
Personal security —while inside your apartment
1. Lock your doors and windows —even while inside.
2. Engage the keyless deadbolts on all doors while
you're inside.
3. When answering the door, see who is there by
looking through a window or front door peephole.
If you don't know the person, first talk with them
before opening the door. Don't open the door if
you have any doubts.
4. If children (who are old enough to take care of
themselves) are left alone in your apartment, tell
them to use the keyless deadbolt and refuse to let
anyone inside while you are gone —regardless of
whether the person is a stranger or an apartment
maintenance or management employee.
5. Don't put your name, address, or phone number
on your key ring.
6. If you're concerned because you've lost your key
or because someone you distrust has a key, ask
the management to re -key the locks. You have a
statutory right to have that done as long as you
pay for the re -keying.
7. Dial 911 for emergencies. If the 911 number does
not operate in your area, keep phone numbers
handy for the police, fire, and emergency medical
services. If an emergency arises, call the
appropriate governmental authorities first, and
then call the management.
8. Check your smoke detector monthly to make sure
it is working properly and the batteries are still
good.
9. Check your door locks, window latches and other
security devices regularly to be sure they are
working properly.
10. If your doors or windows are unsecured due to
break-ins or malfunctioning locks or latches, stay
with friends or neighbors until the problem is
fixed.
11. Immediately report to management --in writing,
dated and signed —any needed repairs of locks,
latches, doors, windows, smoke detectors, and
alarm systems.
12. Immediately report to management --in writing,
dated and signed —any malfunction of other
safety devices outside your apartment, such as
broken gate locks, burned out lights in stairwells
and parking lots, blocked passages, broken
railings, etc.
13. Close curtains, blinds, and window shades at
night.
14. Mark or engrave your driver's license number or
other identification on valuable personal property.
15. Lock your doors while you're gone. Lock any door
handle lock, keyed deadbolt lock, sliding door pin
lock, sliding door security bar that you have.
16. Leave a radio or TV playing softly while you're
gone.
17. Close and latch your windows while you're gone,
particularly when you're on vacation.
18. Tell your roommate or spouse where you're going
and when you'll be back.
19. Don't walk alone at night. Don't allow your family
to do so.
20. Don't hide a key under the doormat or a nearby
flowerpot. These are the first places a burglar
looks.
21. Don't give entry keys, codes, or electronic gate
cards to anyone.
22. Use lamp timers when you go out in the evening
or go away on vacation. They can be purchased at
most hardware stores.
23. Let the manager and your friends know if you'll be
gone for an extended time. Ask your neighbors to
watch your apartment since the management
cannot assume that responsibility.
24. While on vacation, temporarily stop your
newspaper and mail delivery, or have your mail
and newspaper picked up daily by a friend.
25. Carry your door key in your hand, whether it is
daylight or dark, when walking to your entry door.
You are more vulnerable when looking for your
keys at the door.
Personal security —while using your car
26. Lock your car doors while driving. Lock your car
doors and roll up the windows when leaving your
car parked.
27. Don't leave exposed items in your car, such as
cd's, wrapped packages, briefcases, or purses.
28. Don't leave your keys in the car.
29. Carry your key ring in your hand whenever you
are walking to your car --whether it is daylight or
dark and whether you are at home, school, work,
or on vacation.
30. Always park in a well -lighted area. If possible, try
to park your car in an off-street parking area
rather than on the street.
31. Check the backseat before getting into your car.
32. Be careful when stopping at gas stations or
automatic teller machines at night --or anytime
when you suspect danger.
Personal security awareness
No security system is failsafe. Even the best system
can't prevent crime. Always act as if security systems
don't exist since they are subject to malfunction,
tampering, and human error. We disclaim any express or
implied warranties of security. The best safety measures
are the ones you perform as a matter of common sense
and habit.

in windows. Holiday decorations are allowed but
must be removed within two weeks of the

No structural changes or additions may be made
to the exterior of the building, including patios
and balconies.
4. Since the appearance of patios and balconies
affect the appearance of our community, patios
and balconies may not be used for the storage of
trash, boxes, tires, auto parts, broken furniture,
etc. Only furniture designed specifically for
outdoor use will be permitted. The management
reserves the right to monitor the decor and
appearance of your patio or balcony. Roll up
shades, curtains, patio rail modifications or
temporary fencing such as chicken wire or lattice
work, will not be permitted.
No alterations may be made to your front door or

decorate by hanging pictures, etc. in accordance
with Lease Contract limitations. However, in order
to receive a refund on your security deposit, you

PETS
Pets are not allowed, even temporarily, anywhere in
the apartment without a pet agreement. Pets are never
allowed to be left on the patio unattended. No
unauthorized pets may be fed from the apartment or
any part of the community. To avoid a fine, pet waste
must be immediately picked up and disposed of by pet
owner. Pets must be on a leash when outside of
apartment. See a member of the management team for
current pet fees and limitations.
KEYS/ACCESS DEVICES & LOCKS
The care and maintenance of the keys/access devices
and locks to your apartment is of critical importance.
No one should have a key or other entry device to
your apartment without written permission. This
includes family, friends, delivery and repair services.
(Management will retain a key/access device.)
Additional policies regarding keys/access devices and
locks:
If you lose your apartment keys/access devices or
wish to have your lock re -keyed, we will do so for
a charge of $50.00 per lock.
After office hours, a charge of $50.00 will be
assessed for letting you back in after you have
inadvertently locked yourself out. Residents must
provide photo identification before the staff can
allow them access to an apartment. Our staff will
open the door only for the residents or
"occupants" listed on the lease.
Take precautions with your keys/access devices.
Do not hide them outside your home. Do not give
your keys/access devices to acquaintances. Do not
put your address on your key ring. Keep your car
keys and your apartment keys on separate rings.
Your apartment is provided with a latch on each
window and a keyless deadbolt on every exterior
door. If your apartment has a sliding glass door, it
is equipped with a pin lock and one additional
latching device, either a handle latch or a security

We strongly recommend that you keep all
windows and doors locked at all times.
Immediately upon move in, check all of the above
and report any broken, missing or inoperable
items to the manager.

apartment to another within an apartment
community. Contact the management office if you are

Your apartment community's move -out policies are
outlined in your Apartment Lease Contract; however,
we will clarify them further.

security deposit, you must follow all of the
procedures:
Fulfill the complete term of your current lease

SECURITY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND RELEASE
I hereby state that I have inspected the apartment and have determined to my satisfaction that the smoke detectors,
door locks and latches, window locks and latches, and other security devices in the apartment are adequate and in
proper working order. Any comments that I have about the security devices in the apartment are contained on the
Move-In/Move-out Inventory and Condition Form. I understand that the Move -in Condition form is not a written
request to Owner to repairs any device. If such repairs are needed, I agree to promptly inform Owner in writing. I
acknowledge that Owner is under no obligation or duty to inspect, test, or repair any device unless and until Owner has
received written request from me, except when the initial lease term begins and in the case of smoke detectors, when a
new detector is installed by the Owner.
I recognize that Owner, its agents and legal representatives are not insurers. I understand that Owner, its agents and
legal representatives do not guarantee, warrant or assure my personal security and are limited to their ability to provide
protection. I have been informed and understand and agree that my personal safety and security is my personal
responsibility. In particular, I recognize that it is more reasonable for each individual to determine what risks of loss are
unforeseeable and to protect against such losses. I, therefore, agree that it shall be my responsibility to obtain insurance
to protect against our losses and to take all other reasonable steps to protect my safety.
I agree that the furnishings of the safety devices will not constitute a guarantee or warranty of their effectiveness or
impose any obligation on Owner to continue them, except as required by TEX.REV.CIV.STAT.ANN.ART5236. I, hereby
release the Owner, Richmark Properties and their respective agents, officers, directors, owners, partners, employees,
employers, and their legal representative(s) from any claim whatsoever with respect to any personal injury, property
damage, or death: which is in any way related either to my reliance on any of the safety devices mentioned above or to
any defect, malfunction, or inadequacy thereof.

from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) from the
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program
(HOME), Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG), and Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS

A Request for Proposals from social service agencies and nonprofit organizations seeking
grant funding was published on December 19, 2025. All proposals were received on February
13, 2026. 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.
Recommendations for award amounts were considered and adopted by the Community
Development Council on June 17, 2026.

FORT WORTH,.
A 30 -day public comment period was held from June 22, 2026, through July 24, 2026. Notice
of this public comment period was published in the Cleburne Times Review on June 20, 2026;
in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram on June 21, 2026; in the Weatherford Democrat on June 20,
2026; and in La Vida News and the Wise County Messenger on June 25, 2026. One public
hearing was held during the public comment period on July 13, 2026, to provide citizens with
the opportunity to participate in the development of the Annual Action Plan.
All 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 13,
2026, and the second public hearing is scheduled for the City Council Meeting on August 11,

Each of these grants is an entitlement grant rather than a competitive grant received from
the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Entitlement grants
8 of 10
FORT WORTH,.
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 106 FTE positions in the
Neighborhood Services Department —nearly 84% of which are funded 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.
These programs are available in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
This contract requires Form 1295.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION

adoption of the attached appropriation ordinances, funds will be available in the current

Services Department (and Financial Management Services) will be responsible for the
collection and deposit of funds due to the City. Prior to an expenditure being incurred, the
Neighborhood Services Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of
funds. This is a reimbursement grant.
