not limited to, the unlawful discharge of firearms, on or near the Premises. VIOLATION OF THE PROVISIONS IN THIS PARAGRAPH

agreed by the Tenant that a single violation shall be material non-compliance and good cause for termination of the lease and eviction. Unless
otherwise provided by law, proof of violation shall not require criminal arrest or conviction, but shall be by a preponderance of the evidence.
C. Medical Marijuana Cardholder: Should Lessee or any legal resident of the Premises be a cardholder who has been issued a medical prescription

regarding the name and/or address of Lessee’s employer. Such notice shall be in writing and must be received by Lessor within ten (10) days of such

16. MAINTENANCE INSPECTIONS: Lessor may conduct routine maintenance inspections of the Premises during the term of this Lease and
one (1) annual maintenance inspection at the termination of the Lease. Lessee shall be notified by Lessor when such inspections shall take place and
any attempt by Lessee to bar Lessor’s access to the Premises shall constitute a breach of Lease and grounds for termination of tenancy.
17. REPAIRS: All maintenance requests by Lessee, for repairs for which Lessor is responsible, shall be in writing or by e-mail to Lessor or by any
other method directed by Lessor. Routine repair requests shall be completed by Lessor pursuant to prevailing law and between the hours of 8 AM and
8 PM, unless there is a different time agreed between Lessor and Lessee. Lessor shall respond to maintenance or repair requests in a timely fashion
and in accordance with prevailing law. Lessee’s submission of a repair work order constitutes receipt of Lessor’s 48-hour access notice and Lessee’s
permission for Lessor’s agents to enter the Premises without any further advance notice and at Lessor’s earliest convenience. Requests for
emergency repairs which affect the immediate habitability of the Premises or which, if untended, would significantly damage the Building or be
hazardous to residents (e.g. no heat or utilities for which Lessor is responsible, gas leak, flooding, injury risk, etc.) must be immediately reported as
directed by Lessor or Lessor’s agent. Should Lessor provide the refrigerator, Lessee shall immediately report to Lessor any malfunction or problem
with the refrigerator and shall place food in a cooler or alternate refrigerator to avoid or reduce food spoilage. Lessee agrees and acknowledges that,
to the extent allowed by prevailing law, Lessor shall have no responsibility or liability for food spoilage caused by Lessee’s failure to immediately
report a refrigeration malfunction. Lessee shall be liable for any damages incurred to the Premises or the Building that result in Lessee’s failure to
timely request repairs or to timely notify Lessor of conditions which may cause damage if not repaired. Lessee’s liability under this provision shall
survive the termination of the lease.
18. NO SUBLET, ASSIGNMENT OR AIR B&B: Lessee shall not sublet the Premises or any part thereof, nor assign this Lease, without, in each
case, prior written consent of Lessor and pursuant to prevailing law. No “air B&B” or comparable rentals by the hour, day, week or any other period
shall be allowed in the Premises and any advertising by Lessee for “air B&B” or comparable use of the Premises for payment shall be considered a
breach of Lease and grounds for termination of tenancy and “air B&B” or comparable occupants may be prosecuted as civil trespassers.
19. NO ALTERATIONS: Lessee shall not make any alterations whatsoever to the Premises nor install any appliances, locks or other equipment of
any kind without the prior written consent of Lessor. No painting or wallpaper whatsoever is allowed without the written consent of Lessor and, if
such consent is given, the paint colors must be approved by Lessor. Should Lessee fail to obtain consent, Lessee shall be financially liable for the
cost incurred by Lessor to repaint and return the Premises to move-in condition, and such cost shall be due and payable by Lessee as additional rent.
20. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY: Except as provided by prevailing law, neither Lessor nor its agents shall be liable for any damages incurred
by virtue of Lessor's failure to keep the Premises in good repair, or caused by water, ice, frost, plumbing, leakage, gas, the heating or cooling system,
defective equipment, fixtures, or furnishings located in, above, upon, or about said Premises, nor for any damage to Lessee's Property located in or
about said Premises, nor for any damages arising from acts or neglect of other occupants of the Premises, persons on the Premises, or neighboring
party. Lessor shall have no duty to protect Lessee from criminal acts of other persons.
21. ACCESS: Lessee shall allow Lessor and Lessor’s agents free access to the Premises at all reasonable times, to exhibit, repair or inspect the
same, and shall allow Lessor and/or agents to display "For Rent" notices on the Premises. Reasonable times shall be deemed to be 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
or as otherwise agreed between the parties. Lessor reserves the right in accordance with prevailing law, to enter the Premises in order to make routine
inspections or to make repairs or supply services, as needed. Lessee shall not obstruct or attempt to prohibit Lessor’s access to show the Premises to
prospective or actual purchasers, mortgagees, applicants, employees or contractors, or as may be otherwise necessary in the operation and/or
protection of the Building. In the event of emergency repairs or services which may require Lessor to access the Premises without an advance 48-
hour access notice, Lessor may enter the Premises at any time without notice, and Lessor shall give Lessee notice of the emergency access within 24
hours after such emergency entry. For all non-emergency access, entry by Lessor shall be in accordance with permission by Lessee or, if same is
impractical or refused, after a 48-hour notice given to Lessee for entry as allowed by prevailing law. Notice for the purpose of access may be by
regular mail, e-mail, text, telephone, personal delivery, posting or other means designed in good faith to provide notice to Lessee. In the event of an
emergency where access to the Premises is denied by Lessee, or Lessee has changed the locks on the Premises or installed other locking devices
without Lessor’s written consent and Lessor is barred from entry, Lessee hereby consents that Lessor may forcibly open one of the Premises’
entrance doors, bars or gates, and Lessee shall be solely responsible for all costs incurred by Lessor therefor. Should Lessor be required to change the
lock on the Premises as a result of Lessee’s failure to allow access, Lessor shall provide a key to the new lock for Lessee by leaving the key in the
Premises or in a place where Lessee may immediately access the key.

rent the Premises, and Lessee shall be liable and pay for any and all expenses of re-renting and losses incurred by Lessor or its agent to the end of the

terminated by any act resulting in termination of Lessee’s right of possession, including but not limited to the service of a notice for unpaid rent,
demand for possession, notice of termination of tenancy, the filing of an eviction lawsuit, or judgment for possession. Should Lessee’s abandonment

to re-rent the Premises as stipulated herein and dispose of all property in the Premises not belonging to Lessor, and Lessee shall be liable for all costs
incurred by Lessor for the disposition, storage or sale of the property.
23. DEFAULT/FORCIBLE DETAINER: If Lessee defaults in the payment of rent or any part thereof, Lessor may distrain for rent and shall have
a lien on Lessee's property for all monies due Lessor, or if Lessee defaults in the performance of any of the covenants or agreements herein contained,
Lessor or its agents, at his option, may terminate this Lease, and, if abandoned or vacated, may re-enter the Premises pursuant to prevailing law. Non-
performance of any of Lessee's obligations shall, without notice, constitute a default and forfeiture of the Lease, and Lessor's failure to take action on
account of Lessee's default shall not constitute a waiver of said default.
24. NOTICES: If Lessor or its agent elects to serve a legal demand notice, such notice may be served by delivering a copy personally to the Lessee,
or by serving a person the age of thirteen years or above, residing in the Premises, or by sending a copy of said notice to the Lessee by certified mail,

means, such as e-mail or text.
25. TERMINATION/HOLDOVER: At the termination of this Lease, by lapse of time or termination notice, Lessee shall return immediate
possession of the Premises to Lessor by returning all keys and removing all Lessee’s property and all occupants. If Lessee fails to vacate and return
possession of the Premises, as stipulated, by 5:00 PM of the termination date, Lessee shall pay Lessor, as liquidated damages for holding
over, double the Monthly Rent, on a per diem basis, for each day that possession shall be withheld. Lessor, at its option, may give written notice to
Lessee and create a month-to-month tenancy, which shall be subject to the same terms and conditions of this Lease, and Lessee shall be liable for all
costs, including legal expenses, incurred by Lessor as a result of Lessee’s breach and failure to vacate. Should Lessor fail to give advance written
notice, a month-to-month tenancy shall be created under the same terms and conditions of this Lease. The payment or acceptance of Rent after
termination of this Lease shall not extend this Lease.
26. EMINENT DOMAIN: If the whole or a substantial portion of the Premises is condemned or taken by any authority for any public use or
purpose, this Lease shall be terminated by written notice to Lessee. No compensation whatsoever shall be payable to Lessee by Lessor for termination
on such grounds and Lessee shall not be entitled to share in any award or compensation received by Lessor.
27. RENT AFTER BREACH: No payment or acceptance of rent after service of a legal demand notice, or after the commencement of a lawsuit, or
after any judgment, or after any breach by Lessee, or after expiration of this Lease or any termination notice, shall extend the Lease, nor shall it affect
or prejudice said notice, lawsuit, judgment or rights of Lessor.
28. LEGAL EXPENSES/LITIGATION ESCROW: To the extent allowed by prevailing law, Lessee shall pay all costs and legal expenses which
shall be incurred or expended by Lessor due to Lessee's breach of the terms of this Lease and the enforcement thereof. Should Lessee withhold rent
or additional rent from Lessor and should Lessor file a forcible entry and detainer lawsuit or contract litigation to enforce the terms of the Lease
against Lessee, Lessee shall turn over all withheld rentals to the Clerk of the Circuit Court to be held in escrow by the court pending disposition of the
lawsuit.
29. JOINT OBLIGATIONS: The words "Lessor" and "Lessee" when used in this Lease shall be construed to be plural if more than one person
comprises either party to this Lease, and each shall be jointly and severally obligated to perform all of the terms and conditions of this Lease. The

their respective heirs, executors, administrators, assigns and successors.
31. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE: The Lessor's rights and remedies under this Lease are cumulative. The exercise of any one or more thereof shall
not exclude nor preclude Lessor from exercising any other right or remedy.
32. SEVERABILITY CLAUSE: The invalidity or unenforceability of any clause, provision or portion of this Lease shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable the remainder of this Lease.
33. SUBORDINATION/TITLE: Lessee will not do any act which shall encumber Lessor's title to the Premises, and if Lessee causes a lien to be
placed on the title, or Premises, Lessor may discharge the lien and Lessee will reimburse Lessor, as additional rent, the amount Lessor expended, plus
twenty-five percent (25%). This lease shall not be recorded by Lessee and is, and shall be, subordinate to any present or future mortgages now, or
hereafter, placed on the Premises.

list by Lessor. If Lessee breaches this provision of the Lease by allowing barred individuals access to the Building or the Premises, such breach shall
be grounds for immediate termination of tenancy.
