Utilities: Tenant shall be responsible for all utilities which are individually metered to this unit beginning on the earlier of the commencement date of this Lease as specified above or the date Tenant has been granted possession of this unit by accepting the keys. If such utilities or services are not individually metered but apportioned by a method approved by the local municipality or state law, then Tenant shall pay for such utility or service Tenant shall be responsible for these utilities until the end of the Lease term or the date keys and possession of the Leased Unit is returned to Landlord, whichever is later. Tenant shall be solely responsible for having the billing on these accounts transferred into their own name. Certain utilities may be left on as a courtesy to you during your move, if you continue using these utilities without transferring them into your own account; it may be considered a theft of utilities punishable by law. Landlord expressly reserves the right to terminate any utilities not transferred into Tenant’s own account.
5. Tenant acknowledges receipt of an inventory checklist form for the Leased Unit. If this checklist is not returned to the Landlord within seven (7) days from this date, the Landlord and the Tenant may assume that no real or personal property at the Leased Unit is damaged or flawed in any respect.
6. Tenant acknowledges receipt of this entire fully executed Lease Agreement.
7. Security Deposits are insured by a bond at Cambridge Underwriters PO Box 511077, Livonia, MI 48151.
8. Rent. The Tenant shall pay the Landlord, by check or money order, at the address stated above or an address designated by the Landlord in monthly installments, as noted in Section 3 above, due and payable on the first day of each month during the term of this Lease and any renewals thereof. Any payment received after the first day of the month shall be considered a late payment. In addition to the rent, the Tenant shall pay the Landlord a fee of 10% of the monthly rent for each monthly installment plus attorneys fees for any payment not actually received by the Landlord by the 5th day of the month. IT IS THE TENANT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO GET THE PAYMENT TO THE LANDLORD. This late fee shall be considered additional rent and shall compensate the Landlord for costs incurred because of late payments. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of rent or other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur cost not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed upon Landlord by terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Leased Premises. The parties agree that such late charges represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost that Landlord will incur by reason of the late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charges by the Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. The Landlord's right to collect this additional rent shall be in addition to the Landlord's right to take action under other provisions of this Lease for the Tenant's default in paying rent. Tenant shall not be entitled to or gain the right to make continued late payments by reason of Landlord’s past acceptance of late payments. All rent paid after the due date and payments to cover checks that have been returned for insufficient funds must be paid at the place designated for payment, by cashier's check, certified check, or money order. Any check returned for insufficient funds will be charged a late fee. If the Tenant fails to pay rent or any other sums when due to the Landlord, the Landlord serves a notice of default on the Tenant as required by law, and if the Tenant fails to remit the amounts when due, additional costs such as court filing costs, judgement fees and attorney fees incurred by the Landlord in enforcing the Landlord's remedies which are allowed by statute shall be added to the amount due.
9. Security Deposit. The Tenant has deposited with the Landlord the amount noted in Section 3 as a security deposit being held at the institution designated in the Section 7 to reimburse the Landlord for actual damages to the rental unit or ancillary facilities that directly result from conduct not reasonably expected in the normal course of habitation of a dwelling. The Tenant also agrees to pay the Landlord for all rent in arrearage or due for premature termination of this Lease by the Tenant and for any of the Tenant's utility bills not paid by the Tenant. The Tenant is liable for any balances remaining unpaid after the Landlord applies the security deposit to such amounts. This deposit may not be used as the last month's rent.
10. Pets. Neither the Tenant nor their guest shall permit any animals or other creatures into the Leased Unit without the written consent of the Landlord. Said consent is at the sole discretion of the Landlord. Landlord reserves the absolute right to revoke any such consent without notice and without stating a reason for doing so. Landlord also reserves the absolute right to determine what constitutes a pet and reserves the right to change such definition at any time without notice. Landlord also reserves the right to allow the Tenant to have a pet on a case by case basis. Tenant agrees to pay per month in additional rent the amount as noted in Section 3 of this Lease for owning a pet.

Landlord shall have no duty to remove any ice, sleet or snow but may remove such amount or portion thereof with or without notice.
14. Decorations and alterations. Other than hanging decorations on the walls with nails or other materials approved by the Landlord, the Tenant shall not alter or decorate the Leased Unit without prior written consent from the Landlord. The Landlord's consent to a particular decoration or alteration shall not be deemed consent to future decorations or alterations. The Tenant shall not remove any furnishings the Landlord furnishes to the Tenant, drive nails into the woodwork, or use any adhesive material on the walls without prior written consent from the Landlord.
15. Assignments and subleases. The Tenant shall not assign this Lease or sublease any part of the Leased Unit.

The Tenant shall allow the Landlord or the Landlord's agents to show the Leased Unit to prospective Tenants at reasonable times during the 60 days before Tenant vacates the Leased Unit and also to prospective purchasers on reasonable notice to the Tenant.
19. Abandonment of the Leased Unit. If the Tenant removes substantially all the Tenant's property from the Leased Unit, the Landlord may immediately enter and redecorate the Leased Unit without abatement of rent, and these acts shall not affect the Tenant's obligations under this Lease. If the Tenant abandons the Leased Unit before the Lease expires, all rent for the remainder of the term of the Lease shall immediately become due. However, the Tenant may not be liable for the total accelerated amount because of the Landlord's obligation to minimize damages, and either party may ask a court to determine the actual amount owed, if any.
20. Property loss or damage and Renter’s Insurance. To the extent permitted by law, the Landlord and the Landlord's agents shall not be liable for any damage to property or loss of property that is caused by theft or casualty at or about the Leased Unit. The Landlord requires that the Tenant obtain renter’s insurance to protect the Tenant's personal property against such loss or damage prior to and at all times during Tenant’s occupancy of the Leased Unit. Tenant's personal property and other effects are not covered under Landlord's insurance and Tenant shall only look to such renter’s insurance for reimbursement for any such damages. Tenant shall provide a certificate of coverage in the name of the Landlord requiring notification to Landlord in the event the policy is terminated for any reason. In the event such renter’s insurance is terminated for any reason, Landlord may, but shall not be required, purchase a new policy or continue payments on existing Tenant’s renter’s insurance policy or secure other similar insurance coverage and bill the amounts due for such monthly premiums to Tenant as additional rent. Tenant agrees to pay such monthly premium charges as additional rent.
21. Damage or destruction of Leased Unit. If a casualty partially destroys the Leased Unit but they can be restored to a tenantable condition, the Landlord shall repair the Leased Unit with reasonable dispatch; however, the Landlord's obligation to repair the Leased Unit shall be limited to the amount of insurance proceeds actually received by the Landlord and Landlord’s ability to access the Leased Unit. Tenant agrees to remove their personal property from the Leased Unit upon the request of the Landlord in order to effectuate necessary repairs. The Tenant's obligation to pay rent shall be suspended while the Leased Unit is untenantable. If a casualty damages the Leased Unit to the extent that they cannot be restored to a habitable condition within a reasonable period of time, either party may terminate this Lease by giving the other party written notice within 30 days after the casualty. The Landlord shall not be liable for any delay or for providing housing for the Tenant during repairs. In no event should Landlord be required to file a casualty insurance claim if said casualty was caused by tenant and/or tenant’s guest negligence. In the event a casualty was caused by tenant and/or their guests Landlord may either 1) repair the Leased Unit before or after collecting the amount of such damage from Tenant or 2) repair the Leased Unit using casualty insurance proceeds and collect any deductible from Tenant or 3) terminate this lease, require Tenant to vacate and collect all damages or deficiencies in insurance proceeds from Tenant. Landlord does not maintain insurance to cover Tenant’s, or their occupants, or their guest’s personal property or personal injury.
22. Termination. When this Lease terminates, the Tenant shall surrender possession of the Leased Unit to the Landlord in the condition they were in when they were delivered to the Tenant, except for normal wear and tear. The Tenant shall also return all keys for the Leased Unit to the Landlord.
23. Default and the Landlord's remedies. If Tenant defaults on any of the obligations under this Lease including vacating prior to the Lease expiration or being asked to leave because of problematic behavior or receiving more than three warning notices, or misrepresents any information in the application for this Lease, or violates any rules and regulations, the Landlord may, on written notice to the Tenant, terminate the Lease and enter the Leased Unit as permitted by law. The Tenant and any other occupants shall surrender the Leased Unit to the Landlord by the date stated in the notice. If the Landlord terminates the Lease, the Landlord may recover the Landlord's expenses for enforcing the Landlord's rights under the Lease and applicable law, including court costs and attorney fees, from the Tenant, as permitted by statute, and rent for the remainder of the term of the Lease shall immediately become due. The Tenant may not be liable for the total accelerated amount because of the Landlord's obligation to minimize damages, and either party may ask a court to determine the actual amount owed, if any.
24. Holding over. The Tenant may, with the Landlord's permission, continue to occupy the Leased Unit after the term of this Lease expires without renewing this Lease or signing another Lease for the Leased Unit. Such tenancy shall be on a month-to-month basis and subject to the provisions of this Lease except the Landlord may increase rent on 30 days' notice to the Tenant.

Landlord agrees not to conduct or allow or permit any access to tenant’s unit except with tenant’s express permission or in the event of an emergency such as fire, flood or other event necessitating immediate access. Tenant agrees that in addition to the monthly rent, tenant will pay the fee for any government inspection upon being billed by the Landlord.
38. Move Out Procedures. So that there are no misunderstandings regarding our move-out procedures, please take time to read these procedures carefully. You must:
A. Comply with the terms of your Lease.
B. Give a PROPER 30 day written notice if you plan to vacate. This means:
1. Notice to be received by our office by the first day of the month.
2. If you hold over the 30 days, you will be liable for the entire month's rent.
C. Do not allow any undue damage to the apartment.
At the time of move-in, you were given a Check-In Inventory Sheet to complete. Our inspection after you have vacated your apartment will be made using this check list as the basis for determining damages. Any damages to the apartment other than normal wear and tear, which were not noted on the Check-In Inventory Sheet, may be charged to you.
When a Tenant vacates, the apartment should be left as clean as at the time of move-in. This includes removal of all personal items, coat hangers, shelving paper and trash from the apartment. The refrigerator should be defrosted and cleaned. The range, including the burner drip pans and the area under the burners, the oven, as well as the range hood, should be cleaned thoroughly. All cabinets, light fixtures and closets should be cleaned inside and out. Clean all bathroom fixtures, bathtub file, shower rod, medicine cabinets, and remove all stickers on the bottom of the tub. Kitchen and bathroom floors should be scrubbed. The inside of the windows are to be cleaned, the carpet vacuumed and all missing and burnt out light bulbs replaced. Leave all keys to the building, your apartment and mail box with the manager at the local onsite office. Also please leave your forwarding address with the main office too.
Under Michigan law governing the return of security deposits, you must notify us in writing within four (4) days after you have moved of your forwarding address where you can be reached and where you will receive mail. Once a forwarding address is received, we will mail the check out sheet and any applicable refund, if any due, no later than thirty (30) days after the date that your responsibility for the rent on the apartment terminates. Refunds cannot be picked up under any circumstances.
If for whatever reason you must leave before your lease term expires, you will be responsible for the rent until a new tenant begins paying rent for your unit or the lease expires, whichever is first. So if you must move prior to your lease expiring, please give your local manager/office as much notice as possible. A Landlord has a duty to mitigate damages in the event of a breach of your lease agreement. In plain English, if you break your lease, the Landlord must use ordinary methods to rent your unit. This does not mean that the Landlord must rent your unit first before other vacant units that the Landlord may have available. Generally the Landlord may rent their vacant units first. Practically, a Landlord will give a prospective tenant a choice of available units. Your local manager will stand a much better chance of renting your unit if we can show your unit, but there are no guarantees. You will bear the risk if we cannot rent the your unit.
39. Smoke Detectors. Given the smoke detectors are within the Tenant’s Leased Unit, it shall be the responsibility of the tenant to test the operation and functionality of the smoke detector at intervals required by 1) local authorities and 2) in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. Tenant shall promptly notify management should the smoke detector not function properly. Tenant and their occupants and guests acknowledge and warrant they will not disconnect or disable the smoke detector under any circumstances or they will be liable for all damages and personal injury associated with such disconnection.
40. Mold. Mold occurs naturally in the environment, and it is necessary for the natural decomposition of plant and other organic material. It spreads by means of microscopic spores borne on the wind, and is found everywhere life can be supported. Apartment construction is not, and cannot be, designed to exclude mold spores. Even the most thorough maintenance of your apartment building will not eliminate the presence of mold spores. If the growing conditions are right, mold can grow in your apartment unit or in your building. Most persons are familiar with mold growth in the form of bread mold, and mold that may grow on bathroom tile. In order to grow, mold requires a food source. This might be supplied by common items found in the building, such as fabric, carpet or even wallpaper, or by ordinary construction materials, such as drywall, wood and insulation, to name a few. Also, mold growth requires a temperate climate. The best growth occurs at temperatures between 40* F and 100* F. Finally, mold growth requires moisture. Moisture is the only mold growth factor that can be controlled in a Tenantial setting. By minimizing moisture, mold growth can be reduced or eliminated. Moisture can have many causes. Spills, leaks, overflows, condensation, and high humidity are common sources of moisture in any residence. Good housekeeping and maintenance practices are essential in the effort to prevent or eliminate mold growth. If moisture is allowed to remain on the growth medium, mold can develop within 24 to 48 hours.
Consequences of mold. All molds are not necessarily harmful, but certain strains of mold have been shown to have adverse health effects in susceptible persons. The most common effects are allergic reactions, including skin irritation, watery eyes, runny nose, coughing, sneezing, congestion, sore throat and headache. Individuals with suppressed immune systems may risk infections. Some experts contend that mold causes serious symptoms and diseases which may be life threatening. However, experts disagreement about the level of mold exposure that may cause health problems, and about the exact nature and extent of the health problems that may be caused by mold. The Center for Disease Control states that a casual link between the presence of toxic mold and serious health conditions has not been proven.
What you can do. Tenants can take positive steps to reduce or eliminate the occurrence of mold growth in their apartment unit and in their apartment building, and thereby minimize any possible adverse effects that may be caused by mold. These steps including the following:
Before bringing items into your apartment, check for signs of mold. Potted plants (roots and soil), furnishings, or stored clothing and bedding material, as well as many other household goods, could already contain mold growth.
Regular vacuuming and cleaning of your apartment will help reduce mold levels. Mild bleach solutions and most tile cleaners are effective in eliminating or preventing mold growth.
Keep the humidity in your apartment low. Ventilate kitchens and bathrooms. As may be applicable, open the windows, use exhaust fans, or run the air conditioning to remove excess moisture in the air and to facilitate evaporation of water from wet surfaces.
Promptly clean up spills, condensation and other sources of moisture. Thoroughly dry any wet surfaces or material. Do not let water pool or stand in your unit. Promptly notify management of any materials in your unit that cannot be thoroughly dried, such as drywall or carpets. Inspect for leaks in your apartment on a regular basis. Look for discolorations or wet spots. Notify the management or maintenance of any leaks promptly. Inspect condensation pans located in your apartment (refrigerators and air conditioners) for mold growth. Take notice of musty odors, and any visible signs of mold. In the common areas of your building, take note of any leaks, wet spots, mustiness, or other signs of mold. Report these conditions promptly to management or maintenance. Should mold develop in your apartment, thoroughly clean the affected area with a mild solution of bleach. First, test to see if the affected material or surface is color safe. Should the mold growth be severe, promptly notify management.
Disclaimer and Waiver: Whether or not you as a Tenant experience mold growth in your apartment unit depends largely on how you manage and maintenance of your household, and it also depends on your prompt and diligent notification to management or maintenance of conditions requiring our attention. Our responsibility as apartment management must be limited to things that we are aware of, and that we can control. The maintenance and repair responsibilities of management are as set out in your lease agreement. Your responsibilities of maintenance and repair within your apartment unit, and your responsibility to notify management concerning conditions in need of maintenance or repair within your apartment unit and building, are also set out in your lease agreement. We, the apartment management, will not be responsible for any damages caused by mold, or by some other agent, to you the Tenant(s), your invitees, or to third parties that may be caused, in whole or in part, by your failure to clean, repair, and maintain your apartment unit, or to promptly notify management of conditions in need of repair or maintenance anywhere in the apartment building. We will not be responsible for any damage caused by mold growth or mold presence that is unknown to management. Damage includes, but is not limited to, property damage, personal injury, loss of income, emotional distress, death, loss of use, loss of value, adverse health effects, or any other effects. The undersigned Tenant(s) hereby expressly waives any implied warranty of habitability in regards to claims occasioned by mold or mold spores in the Tenant’s apartment unit or in the apartment building. This waiver applies to any exposure to mold caused in whole or in part by an affirmative action of the Tenant resulting in mold growth, inaction by the Tenant resulting in mold growth, Tenant’s failure to notify management resulting in mold growth, or management’s lack of knowledge concerning mold growth or mold presence anywhere in the apartment building. This notice, disclosure and disclaimer agreement is hereby appended to and made a part of your lease agreement. The consideration for this agreement shall be the same consideration as stated in the lease. Should any term or provision of this agreement be ruled invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remainder of this agreement shall nonetheless stand in full force and effect.
41. Bedbugs. This community has a comprehensive plan of action to follow when we encounter bedbugs in our community. Bedbugs are now a pandemic, not just here in the United States, but around the world. Following a systematic plan will ensure that the issue is mitigated quickly and will protect other Tenants, family members, and guests in the community. Every effort is made to protect Tenants from the social embarrassment associated with having a bedbug infestation. Because self-treatment poses extreme dangers to Tenants and family, we require that a licensed pest management professional be engaged to help respond and treat infested apartments. Without full cooperation of the Tenant, this treatment program will not be successful. Because involving a pest management professional in the eradication plan is very difficult and costly, we require Tenants to cooperate fully in the treatment solution and policies relating to controlling bedbug infestations. Integrated pest management requires that the Tenant, landlord and pest management professional work together. Lack of cooperation will result in termination of tenancy. This will acknowledge that all parties are aware of bedbug issues and will cooperate throughout the tenancy to deal with potential issues. Landlord has inspected the unit and is aware of no bedbug infestation upon move in. Tenant(s) claim that all furnishings and personal properties to be moved into the Leased Unit are free of bedbugs. Tenant(s) hereby agree to prevent and control possible infestation by adhering to the below list of responsibilities for the duration of the tenancy.
1. Inspection. Check for hitch-hiking bedbugs. If you stay in a hotel or another home, inspect your clothing, luggage, shoes and personal belongings for signs of bedbugs before re-entering your apartment. Check backpacks, shoes and clothing after using public transportation or visiting theaters. After guests visits, inspect beds, bedding and upholstered furniture for signs of bedbug infestation.
2. Duty to Report. Tenant shall report any problems immediately to their local manger. Even a few bedbugs can rapidly multiply to create a major infestation that can spread to other units. Manager will then be given access to rental unit for inspection within 24 hours of Tenant being given written notice.
3. Mandatory Cooperation. Tenant shall cooperate with pest control efforts. If your unit or a neighbor’s unit is infested, a pest management professional will be called in to inspect and eradicate the problem.
4. Bed Bug Treatment. In the event of a bedbug issue, Tenant agrees to comply with recommendations and requests from the pest control specialist prior to professional treatment including but not limited to:
a. Place all bedding, drapes, curtains and small rugs in plastic bags for transport to laundry or dry cleaners.
b. Heavily infested mattresses and furniture are not salvageable and must be sealed in plastic and disposed of properly. Call Management for removal and disposal. Empty dressers, night stands and closets. Remove all items from floors and bag all clothing, shoes, boxes, toys, etc. Bag and tightly seal washable separately from non-washable items. Used plastic bags must be disposed of properly.
c. Wash all machine-washable bedding, drapes, and clothing, etc. on the hottest water temperature and dry on the highest heat setting. Items that cannot be washed must be taken to a dry cleaner who MUST be informed of the issue. You must safely discard ALL items that cannot be decontaminated.
d. Vacuum all floors, including the inside of closets. Vacuum all furniture including inside drawers and night stands, mattresses and box springs. Carefully remove vacuum bags, sealing them tightly in plastic and discarding of properly, Use a brush attachment to dislodge eggs.
e. Move furniture toward the center of the room so that technicians can easily treat carpet edges where bedbugs congregate, as well as walls and furniture surfaces. Items must be removed from the closets to allow for treatment.
5. Indemnification. Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold the Landlord harmless from any actions, claims, losses, damages and expenses including but not limited to attorneys’ fees that Landlord may incur as a result of the negligence of the Tenant(s) or any guest occupying or using the Leased Unit.
6. Property Insurance. It is acknowledged that the Landlord shall not be liable for any loss of personal property to the Tenant as a result of an infestation of bedbugs. Tenant agrees that their own personal property insurance shall be the sole and only recourse for such losses.
7. Default. Any Default of the Lease by Tenant shall entitle Landlord to pursue all rights and remedies available under the Lease, or applicable law including, but not limited to, terminating the Tenant’s right to possession of the Leased Unit for material non-compliance. The following will be considered material non-compliance of the Lease:
a. Any misrepresentation by the Tenant.
b. Refusal to execute the Bed Bug Treatment Agreement.
c. Failure to promptly notify the Landlord of the presence of bedbugs.
d. Failure to adequately prepare for treatment is the sole discretion of the pest control professional.
e. Refusal to allow the Landlord or their agents to inspect the Leased Unit.
