your insurance carrier to waive any insurance subrogation rights.

losses due to theft, fire, flood, water, pipe leaks and similar occurrenc-
es. 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

(B) move out without paying Rent in full for the entire Lease
term or renewal period; (C) move out at our demand because

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.

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

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.

Texas law to terminate this Lease early in certain situations
involving militarydeployment or transfer, family violence,
certain sexual offenses, stalking or death of a sole resident.

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.

occupancy when or after this Lease begins, you may termi-
nate this Lease within 3 days after you receive written notice.

you move in, we'll supply light bulbs for fixtures we furnish, in-
cluding 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
management companies constitutes notice to or from us. Notices to
you or any other resident of the apartment constitute notice to all
residents. Notices and requests from any resident constitute notice
from all residents. Only residents 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. Notice may be given electronically by
us to you if allowed by law. If allowed by law and in
accordance with this Lease, electronic notice from you to us
must be sent to the email address and/or portal specified in
this Lease. Notice may also be given by phone call orto a
physical address if allowed in this Lease.
You represent that you have provided your current email
address to us, and that you will notify us in the event your
email address changes.
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 byYou.You1ldefend lndemnfyandhold us
and ouremployees, agents,and management company
harmless from allliab!iltyarising from your conduct or
requests to our representatives and from the conduct ofor
requests by your invitees, occupants or guests.
23. Default by Resident.
23.1. Acts of Default. You'll be In default if: (Al you don't

related crime, including a misdemeanor.
23.2. Eviction. If you default, including holding over, we may
end yourrlght ofoccupancy by giving you at least o24 -
hour written notice to vacate. Termination of your possession
rights doesn't release you from liability for future Rent or
other Lease obligations. After giving notice to vacate or
filing an eviction suit, we maystill accept Rent or other
sums due; the filing or acceptance doesn't waive or
diminish outright of eviction or any othercontractua/ or
statutory right. Accepting money at any time doesn't waive
our right to damages, to past or future Rent or other sums,
or to our continuing with eviction proceedings. In an eviction,
Rent is owed for the full rental period and will not be
prorated.
23.3. Acceleration. Unless we elect not to accelerate Rent, all
monthly Rent for the rest of the Lease term or renewal
period will be accelerated automatically without notice
or demand (before or after acceleration) and will be
immediately due If, without ourwritten consent: (A) you
move out, remove property in preparing to move out,
or you or any occupant gives oral or written notice of
intent to move out before the Lease term or renewal
period ends; and (B) you haven't paid all Rent for the
entire Lease term or renewal period. Remaining Rent will
also be accelerated if you're judicially evicted or move
out when we demand because you've defaulted.
If you don't pay the first month's Rent when or before this Lease
begins, all future Rent for the Lease term will be automatically
accelerated without notice and become immediately due. We
also may end your right of occupancy and recover damages,
future Rent, attorney's fees, court costs, and other lawful charges.
23.4. Holdover. You and all occupants must vacate and surrender
the apartment by or before the date contained in: (1) your
move -out notice (2) our notice to vacate, (3) our notice of
non -renewal, or (4) a written agreement specifying a different
move -out date. If a 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 25% 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 a charge (not to
exceed $150) to cover our time, cost and expense for any
eviction proceeding against you, plus our attorney's fees and
expenses, court costs, and filing fees actually paid.
24. Representatives' Authority and Waivers. Ourrepresentatives (in-
cluding management personnel, employees, andagents) have no
authority to waive, amend, orterminate this Lease orany partofit
unless in writing andsigned, and no authority to make promises, rep-
resentations, oragreements thatimpose securityduties orotherob-
ligationson on us or ourrepresentatives, 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, notenforce or delay enforcement of written -no-
tice requirements, rental due dates, acceleration, liens, or any other
rights isn'ta waiver under anycircumstances. 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 ourrepresen-
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
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 must thoroughly 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

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.

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.

storing any property.

society, or rescue organization.

local apartment association for the area where the apartment is
located at the time of signing this Lease. If not, the following applies:

(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) neither the owner nor the 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.

id or unenforceable under applicable law, it won't invalidate the re-

2026 and ending September 30, 2027 for use of federal grant funds totaling $13,554,718.38
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

low -and moderate -income persons in Fort Worth. ESG funds primarily benefit persons
experiencing homelessness, and HOPWA funds primarily benefit low -and moderate -income
persons with HIV/AIDS.
A Request for Proposals from social service agencies and nonprofit organizations seeking
grant funding was published on 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.

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
