Your rights under this lease are subordinated to any present or future mortgages on the premises. We may assign our interest in this lease. You waive your right to demand a jury trial concerning the litigation of any matters arising between us. 28. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES: If you default in complying with this lease or the law, we have the right to retake possession as provided by Florida law. We have the right to accelerate all of the remaining rent upon default. Under no circumstances will our acceptance of your keys, or re-entry or any other action be considered a cancellation of the lease or a retaking for our own account. If you or an occupant of the leased premises engage in criminal activity on the premises, such action shall be a default for which your lease may be immediately terminated. In addition to any of the foregoing, we shall have any other rights and remedies provided by law. If we engage an attorney to act for us in any matter arising out of this lease, we shall be entitled to recover all of our reasonable attorney’s fees and costs from you. It is intended that Landlord’s rights and remedies for Resident’s breach of this Lease Agreement shall be as broad as permitted under Florida law and shall include, without limitation, (a) the right to terminate this Lease, reserving the right to collect any unpaid rents, charges, and assessments for damages to the Premises; or (b) the right to accelerate the then entire unpaid balance of the rent for the term then remaining or the right to standby and collect rental payments as they become due; or (c) the right to sublease and rent the Premises for your account, in which event the proceeds from sub-letting shall be applied first to the cost of sub-letting (including advertising and commissions), second, to the cost of repairing any damage to the Premises, and third, to your rental obligations hereunder, with you and your guarantor(s) remaining fully responsible for any deficiency in the rental payments for the remainder of the term. The exercise of any one remedy shall not be deemed exclusive of the right to collect the entire amount of unpaid rent or damages or of our right to avail ourselves of any remedy allowed by Florida law. Should your account become past due with our office and we need to send your account to a collection agency, you will be responsible for the collection agency fee. Should litigation become necessary, venue held will be in “Leon County, Florida.” I acknowledge that I have read the above Default and Remedies section and that I understand and accept the provisions set forth therein.

If any of your property is left in or about the leased premises after you vacate or abandon the leased premises, we may remove or dispose of that property and you waive any claims for damage or loss as a result of our disposal of the property. If you fail to deliver all keys and vacate on or before your lease termination, you will be obligated to pay double rent until you do so and you agree to indemnify us for and hold us harmless from any lost rent and damages caused to the next Resident as well as our attorney fees incurred in having to deal with the situation. 31. SALE OF LEASED PREMISES. Any sale of the leased premises shall not affect your obligations, but upon such sale we will be released from all of our obligations under this Lease and the new owner of the leased premises will be responsible for the performance of the duties of Landlord which arise from and after the date of such sale. Should the leased premises be sold, we have the right to terminate this lease by giving you a sixty (60) day notice. 32. RADON GAS: We are required by Florida Statute 404.056(8) to state: “Radon is a naturally occurring radio-active gas that, when it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health risks to persons who are exposed to it over time. Levels of radon that exceed Federal and State guidelines have been found in buildings in Florida. Additional information regarding radon and radon testing may be obtained from your county public health unit.”

33. LEAD PAINT: If the leased premises were built before 1978, you acknowledge receipt, before becoming obligated under this lease, of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) lead hazard information brochure entitled “Protect Your Family From Lead In Your Home.” We do not know of the presence of any lead-based paint or lead-based paint hazards in the premises and have no lead hazard evaluation report in our possession. 34. MOLD. Mold is found virtually everywhere in our environment—both indoors and outdoors and in both new and old structures. Molds are naturally occurring microscopic organisms which reproduce by spores and have existed practically from the beginning of time. All of us have lived with mold spores all our lives. Without molds we would all be struggling with large amounts of dead organic matter. Mold breaks down organic matter in the environment and uses the end product for its food. Mold spores (like plant pollen) spread through the air and are commonly transported by shoes, clothing and other materials. When excess moisture is present inside a dwelling, mold can grow. There is conflicting scientific evidence as to what constitutes a sufficient accumulation of mold which could lead to adverse health effects. Nonetheless, appropriate precautions need to be taken.

P

A. PREVENTING MOLD BEGINS WITH YOU. In order to minimize the potential for mold growth in your dwelling, you must do the following: I. Keep your dwelling clean—particularly the kitchen, the bathroom(s), carpets and floors. Regular vacuuming, mopping and using a household cleaner to clean hard surfaces is important to remove the household dirt and debris that harbor mold or food for mold. Immediately throw away moldy food. II. Remove visible moisture accumulation on windows, walls, ceilings, floors and other surfaces as soon as reasonably possible. Look for leaks in washing machine hoses and discharge lines—especially if the leak is large enough for water to infiltrate nearby walls. Turn on any exhaust fans in the bathroom and kitchen before you start showering or cooking with open pots. When showering, be sure to keep the shower curtain inside the tub or fully close the shower doors. Also, the experts recommend that after taking a shower or bath, you: (1) wipe moisture off of shower walls, shower doors, the bathtub and the bathroom floor; (2) leave the bathroom door open until all moisture on the mirrors and bathroom walls and tile surfaces has dissipated; and (3) hang up your towels and bath mats so they will completely dry out. III. Promptly notify us in writing about any air conditioning or heating system problems you discover. Follow our rules, if any, regarding replacement of air filters. Also, it is recommended that you periodically open windows and doors on days when the outdoor weather is dry (i.e., humidity is below 50 percent) to help humid areas of your dwelling dry out. IV. Promptly notify us in writing about any signs of water leaks, water infiltration or mold.

M A

S

B. IN ORDER TO AVOID MOLD GROWTH, it is important to prevent excessive moisture buildup in your dwelling. Failure to promptly pay attention to leaks and moisture that might accumulate on dwelling surfaces or that might get inside walls or ceilings can encourage mold growth. Prolonged moisture can result from a wide variety of sources, such as: · rainwater leaking from roofs, windows, doors and out-side walls, as well as flood waters rising above floor level; · overflows from showers, bathtubs, toilets, lavatories, sinks, washing machines, dehumidifiers, refrigerator or A/C drip pans or clogged up A/C condensation lines; · leaks from plumbing lines or fixtures, and leaks into walls from bad or missing grouting/caulking around showers, tubs or sinks; · washing machine hose leaks, plant watering overflows, pet urine, cooking or beverage spills and steam from excessive open-pot cooking; · leaks from clothes dryer discharge vents (which can put lots of moisture into the air); and · Insufficient drying of carpets, carpet pads, shower walls and bathroom floors. C. IF SMALL AREAS OF MOLD HAVE ALREADY OCCURRED ON NON-POROUS SURFACES (such as ceramic tile, Formica, vinyl flooring, metal, wood or plastic), the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends that you first clean the areas with soap (or detergent) and water, let the surface dry, and then within 24 hours apply a pre-mixed, spray-on-type household biocide, such as Lysol Disinfectant ®, Pine-Sol Disinfectant ® (original pine-scented), Tilex Mildew Remover ® or Clorox Cleanup ®. (Note: Only a few of the common household cleaners will actually kill mold.) Tilex ® and Clorox ® contain bleach which can discolor or stain. Be sure to follow the instructions on the container. Always clean and apply a biocide to an area 5 or 6 times larger than any visible mold because mold may be adjacent in quantities not yet visible to the naked eye. A vacuum cleaner with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter can be used to help remove non-visible mold products from porous items, such as fibers in sofas, chairs, drapes and carpets—provided the fibers are completely dry. Machine washing or dry cleaning will remove mold from clothes. DO NOT CLEAN OR APPLY BIOCIDES TO: (1) visible mold on porous surfaces, such as sheetrock walls or ceilings, or (2) large areas of visible mold on non-porous surfaces. Instead, notify us in writing, and we will take appropriate action. Complying with this section of your lease will help prevent mold growth in your dwelling, and both you and we will be able to respond correctly if problems develop that could lead to mold growth. If you have questions regarding this section, please contact us at the management office. If you fail to comply with this section, you can be held responsible for property damage to the dwelling and any health problems that may result. We can’t fix problems in your dwelling unless we know about them. Please note: It is our goal to maintain a quality living environment for our residents. To help achieve this goal, it is important to work together to minimize any mold growth in your dwelling. That is why this section contains important information for you, and responsibilities for both you and us.

*Landlord may, in its sole discretion, declare the Lease to be in default upon the second, third, or fourth notice of a violation. INTERNET AND NETWORK RULES AND REGULATIONS · When Resident and other users disseminate information through the Internet, they must keep in mind that neither Provider, Landlord nor Agent reviews, edits, censors or takes responsibility for any information Resident or such users may create. This places on Resident and such users what will be, for most, an unfamiliar responsibility. When Resident and other users place information on the Internet, they have the same liability as other authors for copyright infringement, defamation and other harmful speech. Also, because the information they create is carried over Provider’s System and may reach a large number of people, including both subscribers and nonsubscribers of Provider, Resident and other users’ postings to the Internet may affect other users and may harm Provider’s, Landlord’s and/or Agent’s goodwill, business reputation and operations. For these reasons, Resident and other users violate this Policy when they engage in any of the following activities. Spamming, Copyright Violation, Distribution and/or Transmission of Obscene or Indecent Speech or Materials ,Defamation , Illegal/Unauthorized Access to Other Computers or Networks Distribution of Internet Viruses, Worms, Trojan Horses and Other Destructive Activities Export Control Violations. Such violations by Resident constitute a default by Resident under this Lease. · Tenant acknowledges that the network provided through the System is a shared network. This means each user, including Tenant, has certain responsibilities to ensure performance of the network overall and their own security. To ensure adequate network facilities for all users of the System, Resident shall not: (i) attempt to degrade the performance of the System and shall not use the System in any way that precludes or significantly hampers the ability of others to use the System, including but not limited to, the operation of any servers, such as FTP, WWW, Peer to Peer file sharing and NNTP, or (ii) engage in any activity that requires or utilizes large portions of the bandwidth allocated to the facility, or would cause less than generally acceptable usage speeds for others. Because the System is shared by many other users, Landlord, Agent and Provider recommend Resident’s use of “Personal Firewall Software.” The Landlord also requires that you have a current antivirus software on any computer connected to the network failure to comply will result in termination of service. Violations of this Policy by Resident may result in remedial action varying from temporary reduction of the network resources, suspension of services, or termination of services.
