including liability for future or past -due Rent, charges fo-
damages or other sums due.
The reletting charge is a liquidated amount covering only
part of our damages —for ourtime, 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.

to terminate this Lease in writing as set forth below. Rent abatement

Mold Information and Prevention
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
important information for you, and responsibilities for both you and us.
Addendum. This is an addendum between the Residents and
Owner as described in the Lease for the dwelling described below:

City/State/Zip where dwelling is located:
2. About Mold. Mold is found everywhere in our environment, both
indoors and outdoors and in both new and old structures. To avoid
mold growth, it's important to prevent excess moisture buildup
in your dwelling. Promptly notify us in writing about any air-condi-
tioning or heating -system problems and any signs of water leaks,
water infiltration or mold. We will respond in accordance with state
law and the Lease to repair or remedy the situation.
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-
sible for property damage to the dwelling and any health problems
that may result.
This Addendum is part of your Lease.
You are legally bound by this document. Please read it carefully.

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

access gates, and/or pedestrian access gates. We reserve the right to modify or eliminate security systems other than those

• Report to management the vehicle license plate number of any vehicle that piggybacks through the gate.
• Never force the gate open with your car.
• Never get out of your vehicle while the gates are opening or closing.
• If you are using the gates with a boat or trailer, please contact management for assistance. The length and width of the
trailer may cause recognition problems with the safety loop detector and could cause damage.
• Do not operate the gate if there are small children nearby who might get caught in it as it opens or closes.
If you lose your card, please contact the management office immediately.
• Do not give your card or code to anyone else.
• Do not tamper with gate or allow your occupants to tamper or play with gates.

(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;
• 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.
T. Inspection. You must not use the washing machine and/or dryer until management has inspected the installation. Such
inspection does not relieve you of liability in the event of water, fire, smoke or other damage from your washing machine and/
or dryer.
8. Maintenance. 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.
9. Insurance. At all times you must carry renter's insurance that provides insurance coverage for damage to your personal
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
with your agent that such coverages are included in your policy and must furnish us a copy of the policy upon our request.

proposals and developed recommendations for the allocation of estimated funding from HUD based on the
capacity of applicant organizations, grant experience, fiscal stability, and compliance with applicable
federal regulations. One public hearing was held on July 14, 2025, to provide citizens with the opportunity
to participate in the development of the Annual Action Plan. Recommendations for award amounts were
considered and adopted by the Community Development Council on June 11, 2025.

All figures have been rounded to the nearest dollar for presentation purposes.
Each of these grants are an entitlement grant rather than a competitive grant received from the United
States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Entitlement grants provide funds to
agencies based on a formula prescribed in legislation or regulation, rather than based on review. These
specific grants are allocated to the City of Fort Worth based on population size and per capita income each
year. The grants have been consistently awarded to the City since 1974 with the inception of the
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) through the Housing and Community Development Act of
1974. The Emergency Shelter (renamed Solutions) Grant (ESG) was authorized in 1987 through the
McKinney-Vento Homelessness Assistance Act. The HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME)
and the Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) Program were authorized through the
Cranston -Gonzales National Affordable Housing Act of 1990. With these grants, administrative and
program delivery allocations support approximately 90 FTE positions in the Neighborhood Services
Department, which is funded nearly 60\% with various grants including these entitlement grants.
Positions funded with HUD Entitlement grants are subject to grant availability. In the event of a grant award
being decreased or eliminated, the Neighborhood Services Department would review programs and
services funded by the grants and determine a level of service and staffing that aligns with the available
funding. Alternatives to consider may include staff and program reductions or eliminations.
The City of Fort Worth has certified that all programs receiving funding through the HOPWA, HOME, ESG,
and CDBG grants comply with applicable Executive Orders.
These programs are available in ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of the
attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating budget, as appropriated,
of the Grants Operating Federal Fund. The Neighborhood Services Department (and Financial
Management Services) will be responsible for the collection and deposit of funds due to the City. Prior to
an expenditure being incurred, the Neighborhood Services Department has the responsibility to validate
the availability of funds. These are reimbursement grants.

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

Development Council on June 17, 2026.
