Resident agrees to pay the prorated amount of rent calculated and listed in
Paragraph 1(0)
for the first partial month of the lease term. After that, Resident
agrees to pay the Total Monthly Rent listed in Paragraph 1(C), said amount being
the sum of the base rent plus any additional rents minus any concessions and
discounts. The Total Monthly Rent is due and payable to

address ON OR BEFORE the FIRST CALENDAR DAY of each month.
C. Concession:
If Resident is receiving a monthly concession of rent, it will be so indicated
and described in Paragraph 1(C) of this Agreement.. However, in consideration
for Lessor entering into this Agreement with Resident for the rental of the
Premises, and in consideration of Lessor's reasonable expectation that Resident
will honor the full terms of this Agreement and pay the Total Monthly Rent when
due, Resident agrees that a concession in the above- stated amount has been
granted to Resident as a reduction in the rental amount due during the lease
term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Resident
understands
and agrees that the concession is a privilege which Lessor may
revoke in the event that Resident either: (1) fails to pay the Total
Monthly
Rent on or before the fifth (Sth) calendar day of the month two (2) or
more times during the term of this Agreement, or (2) becomes more than
sixty (60) days past due in the payment of any bill for Resident's use
of
submetered water or sewer services. Should Lessor choose to revoke the
concession, Lessor shall provide Resident with not less than fifteen (15) days
written notice of its intention to revoke the monthly concession, said
revocation to take effect either on: (a) the first calendar day of the month
following the most recent month for which Resident was late in tendering the
Total Monthly Rent, or (b) the first day of the calendar month following the
fifteen (15) day written notice where the revocation is based on Resident's
failure to pay a submetered water or sewer bill. Upon the revocation of the
concession, Residents Total Monthly Rent for the remainder of the lease term
shall increase by the value of the concession described in Paragraph
1(C)

States Department of Housing and Urban Development by the United States
Department of Agriculture by a State agency, by a public housing authority, or
by a local government, said amount shall not exceed $1500 or an amount equal to
five percent (5%) of the Resident's share of the Total Monthly Rent [after
deducting the value of the rent subsidy received), whichever is greater. This
late payment fee shall be due without demand therefore and must be added to and
tendered with the late rental payment by Cashiers Check or Money
Order,
4. RETURNED
CHECKS: Resident agrees to pay a $25.00 processing fee (pursuant to N.C.G.S. §
25-3-506) for each check submitted by Resident that is returned by the financial
institution for any reason, including insufficient funds and closed account This
returned check fee shall be due without demand therefore and must be tendered
together with the rent and any late fees due by Cashiers Check or Money Order.

require that all future payments by Resident be tendered by Cashiers Check or
Money Order, and Lessor also reserves the right to seek enforcement of the
returned check pursuant to N C G S. § 6-21 3.
S.
SECURITY DEPOSIT: Resident agrees to tender to Lessor the Total of All Deposits
(the °Deposin as described in Paragraph 1(E) of this Agreement prior to taking
possession of the Premises. This sum shall be held in trust as a Security
Deposit at the financial institution listed in Paragraph 1(E). Lessor will hold
this Deposit for the period' that Resident occupies the Premises. After Resident
has moved from the Premises, Lessor will determine whether Lessee(s) are
eligible for a refund of any or all of the Deposit. The amount of the refund
will be determined in accordance with NCGS § 42-51 and the following conditions
and procedures:
A. Resident
understands that the Deposit is Security for performance by Resident of the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and may not be applied towards rent or
other charges due while Resident remains in possession of the
premises;
B. If the
Premises is rented by more than one Resident all Residents agree that they are
responsible for dividing any refund among themselves. Lessor may pay the refund
to any Lessee named in Paragraph 1(A)
of this Agreement and the other Lessee(s) agree to hold Lessor harmless
for such action;
C. Upon a
sale or conveyance of the Premises, Lessor may transfer or assign the Deposit to
the new owner who then assumes the liability thereof upon transfer and Lessor's
liability for the Deposit shall terminate;
D.
IF THE SECURITY DEPOSIT IS DEPOSITED IN AN INTEREST BEARING ACCOUNT,
RESIDENT AGREES THAT ANY INTEREST THAT ACCRUES SHALL BE FOR THE SOLE BENEFIT OF
LESSOR AND MAY BE WITHDRAWN BY LESSOR AT ANY TIME;
E. Lessor
will refund Lessee(s) the amount of the Deposit LESS any amount needed to pay
the cost of:
(1) unpaid
rent
(2) damage to
the Premises in excess of normal wear and tear;
(3) charges
for late payments or returned checks;
(4) cleaning
the Premises if not properly done by Resident and if such failure to properly
clean the Premises results in damages that exceed normal wear and
tear;
(5) any
unpaid bills that become a lien on the Premises;
(6) re-renting

damages and/or court costs incurred by Lessor as a result of a breach of this

30 days after termination of the tenancy and delivery of possession by Resident,
Lessor shall return the balance of the Security Deposit with an itemization of
any deductions to Resident's last known address. If Resident's address is
unknown, Lessor will hold the balance of the Security Deposit for Resident's
collection for a period of 6 months, after which any remaining balance shall
escheat to the State of
North Carolina. At such time, Lessor's liability for the return of the Security
Deposit shall cease.
G. While
the Deposit may be increased as shown in Paragraph 1(E) due to the presence of a pet, 1he
Deposit can be applied as set forth in Paragraph 5(E),
above, to cover all items 1-8, not just to those damages that may be attributed
to the presence of a pet Resident should not confuse the Deposit with a
non-refundable pet fee, which is (1) paid by Resident to Lessor as consideration
for the privilege of maintaining a pet at the premises and not as payment for
future damages relating to said pet and (2) is not subject to the itemization
requirements at lease termination.
H. Absent
a separate written agreement or written modification to the Agreement signed by
all parties, in the event a co-Resident ("the terminating Resident') seeks to
terminate the Agreement and avoid further liability under the Agreement as
provided by N.C.G S. § 42-45.1, and in the event the Agreement shall continue in
full farce and effect as to any remaining Resident(s), all Residents to this
lease agree that the ownership of any and all security deposits tendered under
this Agreement shall automatically transfer to the remaining, non-terminating
Residents

A No
animals, birds, or pets of any kind shall be permitted in the Premises at any
time without the express, written consent of Lessor, which shall be documented
in a separate Pet Agreement Lessor reserves the right to exercise sole
discretion over the allowance of pets, although reasonable accommodations will
be made where applicable. Resident further understands and agrees that even if
Lessor permits a pet in the Premises, the pet must be removed from the Premises
if, in Lessor's sole discretion, it is determined that the pet constitutes a
nuisance or creates a disturbance or poses a threat to the safety of any person
or property. Should unauthorized pets be discovered on the Premises, Resident
shall be responsible for the immediate payment to Lessor of any and all
non-refundable pet fees and deposits normally due to Lessor pursuant to Lessor's
rules and regulations, or pursuant to the normal charges and fees of Lessor. For
the purposes of assessing the amount of said fees and deposits, Resident agrees
that such amounts shall be calculated as though the unauthorized pets were
present on the Premises on the first day of Resident's lease term.
B.
Resident understands and agrees that the presence of pet urine or other animal
waste that may be deposited by an animal in the carpeting or on the flooring of
the Premises during Residents tenancy represents certain biological, health, and
safety hazards--as well as offensive odors—for themselves and for future and
neighboring tenants. Due to (1) the unique characteristics of animal urine and
its damaging effects on carpet, carpet padding, and flooring and (2) the
unlikelihood of cleaning such damage to the satisfaction of future tenants,
Resident agrees that the presence of pet urine in the carpet or flooring of the
Premises shall
not, under any circumstances, be
considered normal wear and tear, Resident understands and agrees that, in
any event, Resident shall be fully responsible for the value of replacement and
installation of carpet, flooring, and/or fixtures necessitated by the presence
of animal urine or other waste found by Lessor in the carpeting
or
flooring of the Premises, and that the Deposit referenced in Paragraph 1(E) may
be applied to such damages, though Resident shall be fully liable to Lessor for
any deficiency. The replacement value of carpet, flooring, and fixtures shall be
prorated based on the respective age of the item(s) at the time of replacement
as compared to the original expected life of the respective item
(s)

cards and devices, parking gate openers, AND garage door openers (as applicable
to the Premises) to Lessor. If

agrees to pay the usual lock fee described by the Lessor's then-existing
policies or Rules and Regulations for each lock changed, For other devices named
in this Paragraph, Resident shall be liable for the replacement value of
same.

may request, either orally or in writing, that Lessor install new or different

its then-existing policies and/or Rules and Regulations

event replacement locks are installed by Lessor, each Resident understands and
agrees that Lessor shall provide keys for the replacement locks for the Premises
to any other Resident who may request them, with the exception of persons who
may be perpetrators of sexual assault, stalking, or domestic violence and whom
have been ordered to remain away from the Premises by a court of law, as
provided in Paragraph 7(0). below.
D.
Procedures for Changing of Locks for Victims of Domestic Violence, Sexual
Assault, or Stalking. A
person who has been ordered to remain off the Premises or is
otherwise excluded from
entry into same pursuant to a domestic violence restraining order or any other
similar governmental order barring the person's re-entry onto the
Premises shall for the purposes of this Agreement, be referred to as a
Perpetrator.
(1) Where
the Perpetrator is a Resident or Authorized Occupant: In the event a
Resident claims to be the victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, or
stalking, and the Resident seeks to change locks to bar the Perpetrator or any
other person having key access to the Premises from re-entering the Premises

Order issued by a court that requires the Perpetrator to stay away from the
Premises. Upon Lessor's receipt of (a) the Resident's request to change locks
(which may be in oral or written form) and (b)
a copy of the Order, Lessor shall either change the locks within
seventy-two (72) hours or grant permission to the Resident to change their own
locks. Should Lessor fail to change locks within seventy-two (72) hours after
receipt of Resident's request and a copy of the Order, the parties agree that
Lessor's failure to act within such time shall serve as Lessor's
granting of permission to Resident to change the locks pursuant to N.C.G.S.. §
42-42.3 In the event Resident changes their own locks, Resident shall provide
Lessor with a working key to the replacement lock within forty-eight (48) hours
of the replacement lock's installation Pursuant to the terms of this Paragraph
and the pertinent provisions of N C.G.S. § 42-42.3, Resident agrees that Lessor
shall
not provide keys for replacement locks or otherwise grant access to the
Premises to a known Perpetrator, whether or not the Perpetrator may be a
Resident, an Authorized Occupant, or any other person. in
such an event, Resident agrees that Lessor is not liable for civil
damages to the Perpetrator excluded from the dwelling unit, including, but not
limited to, any claims related to the Perpetrator's loss of use of the Premises
or loss of use or damage to the Perpetrator's personal property
(2) Where
the Perpetrator does not reside in the Premises—In the event the Resident
requesting a change of locks claims to be the victim of domestic violence,
sexual assault, or stalking, Lessor shall either change the locks within
forty-eight (48) hours of the request or grant permission to the Resident to
change their own locks. Should Lessor fail to change locks within forty-eight
(48) hours after receipt of Resident's request, the parties agree that Lessor's
failure to act within such time shall serve as Lessor's granting of permission
to Resident to change the locks themselves pursuant to N.0 G.S. § 42-42..8 In
the event Resident changes their own locks, Resident agrees to provide Lessor
with a working key to the replacement locks within forty-eight (48) hours of
installation.

7(D),
Resident
agrees that Lessor may open the Premises to any Authorized
Occupant
listed under Paragraph 1(A) of this Agreement, upon the request
of such Authorized Occupant (whether or
not said Authorized Occupant is a minor) where Resident has so indicated
by checking the box for key access beside the name of the respective
Authorized Occupant(s) listed in Paragraph 1(A) of this Agreement. This
authorization imposes no duty upon Lessor to open the Premises, and Resident waives
any claim for damages resulting from Lessor opening the Premises for
such Authorized Occupants,.

purposes only and agrees not to use the Premises in any manner which Lessor
