k. Lessee agrees to remove all trash from the leased premises in sealed plastic bags, and to dispose of same in the containers provided by lessor. Trash is not to be left in hallways at any time. Lessor may change trash disposal procedures by written notice to lessee.

l. Tenants or their guests are prohibited from the roof areas at all times. Besides the obvious safety hazard, walking on the roof causes leaks in the apartments below. Tenants are encouraged to report anyone seen or heard on the roof.

m. Lessee agrees to promptly notify lessor of any leaks, needed repairs, or other problems in the leased premises or common areas. All repair requests must be submitted in writing to the lessor’s office, with the exception of emergencies. The parties agree that all drains are currently operating properly. Lessee agrees to maintain a plunger on the premises and to attempt to clear any clogged drains prior to calling lessor for service. If service of lessor’s plumber is required to clear a drain or toilet blockage or free a garbage disposal and it is determined that the problem is due to the placing of foreign objects in the pipes, lessee will be billed the cost of said repair as additional rent and agrees to pay same within ten (10) days of receipt of such bill. Foreign objects include, without limitation, anything containing plastic, cloth of any kind, glass, or metal.

n. Because of alterations in some units, supplemental electric heaters have been or may be provided for your comfort. It is understood that the cost of electricity for such heaters is the responsibility of the lessee.

o. Lessee hereby expressly agrees to allow their apartment to be exterminated, and to follow lessor’s pre-extermination instructions.

p. Lessee agrees to obey all rules and regulations of the Condominium Association. Any fines levied on Lessor due to the abuse/misbehavior of Lessee or his family, friends, relatives, guests, visitors, agents, or servants will be the responsibility of Lessee and shall be payable as additional rent.

q. Lessee agrees that it is Lessee’s responsibility to keep the pilot lights in the cooking facilities lit, if they so desire. Lessee should contact the gas company serving their unit if it goes out and/or they are unable to light their pilot on their own. If Lessee requests Lessor to perform these services, Lessor may but is not obligated to do so. Lessor shall charge Lessee for such services, the cost of which shall be the responsibility of Lessee. Such service charge shall be payable at the time the service is rendered, and if not so paid, shall be payable as additional rent.

r. Lessee acknowledges that each window contains a screen so that insects can be kept out in warm months when windows may be open. Lessee agrees and understands that it is Lessee’s responsibility to keep all screens in place. Lessee shall be responsible for the cost of replacement screens (generally about $45.00) as additional rent if the screens are damaged or missing. All screens must be in place and in good order at the end of your tenancy.

s. In order to efficiently manage the premises, communication is important. While we encourage all tenants to have an operating answering machine so that we can advise you of matters of importance concerning your tenancy, it is required and you agree to keep an operating telephone in your unit connected to the local service provider or a cellular phone and to advise us of your telephone number within seven (7) days of occupancy, along with an email address for at least one occupant.

s(a). Provision for tenants in Egmont Park Condominium (54-76 Egmont St, 316-330 St. Paul St.) and 28 Quint Avenue Condominium only – If you are a tenant in either of these properties, the rules of the condominium association require us to furnish them with your contact information, including telephone numbers and email addresses of all tenants within 14 days of taking occupancy. If we do not have this information timely, we will be fined $100.00 and have to pass that fine along to you as additional rent, so please comply with this provision timely.

If you are unable to access the World Wide Web, a copy of those guidelines can be obtained from the management company.

w. Intentionally omitted.

x. In the event of a conflict between the terms of the Lease Agreement and this Addendum, the terms of this Addendum shall control. If any provision in this Addendum is determined to be unlawful, then that provision shall be void and the remainder of this addendum shall remain in full force and effect.

y. Main Street Realty does not provide a lockout service. If a Lessee loses his or her keys, Lessee is responsible for the cost of regaining access. If Lessee does not call Main Street Realty and decides to call a locksmith, Lessee is fully responsible for that cost and the cost for Main Street Realty to change the locks back to our master system if a locksmith has changed the lock. If Main Street Realty is called and available to come out, there will be a minimum charge of $75.00 due at the time of service. Any additional costs will also be the responsibility of Lessee.

z. If any unit contains laundry equipment, lessee may utilize same at no additional charge. However,

lessor does not represent the condition of same and will not be responsible for the maintenance or proper operation of same but will remove same from the unit at lessees request.

Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are provided for your safety. Removal of any supplied

detector is prohibited. Some smoke detectors are battery operated while others run on house current and have battery backups. If the unit beeps at intervals, the battery is probably low. It is your responsibility to replace such a battery. At the termination of your tenancy (or at any sooner time a discovery is made) if lessor discovers any detector is missing or damaged, you will be charged $75.00 for each missing or damaged detector.

The Lessee acknowledges that the Lessee has not been influenced to enter into this transaction by any warranties or representations not set forth or incorporated herein. If a Broker is involved in this transaction, Lessee acknowledges that the Broker is an independent agent and that Lessor is not responsible for any of brokers representations not incorporated in writing herein.

Unnecessary service calls. Should tenant request maintenance service and it turns out that the

problem was caused by the tenant or the service call was unnecessary (for instance, we are called for a power outage in the unit but discover that there is nothing wrong with the electrical system; the power was cut off by the electric company due to failure to pay or failure to set up an account), the tenant will be billed for the service call at the usual and customary rate, which shall be due as additional rent, which the tenant agrees to promptly pay.
