Any amounts that shall become due and payable from Resident under the terms of this Lease shall hereinafter be referred to as “Additional Rent,” and such amounts shall be treated as an obligation equal to the Rent.

Resident shall not vacate the Premises or exercise any right of termination arising out of any breach by Landlord of any provision of this Lease due to the condition or state or repair of the Premises or the Apartment Community.

Security Deposit.
Upon execution of this Lease, Resident shall deposit with Landlord a security deposit in the amount indicated in the SOT (the “Security Deposit”) as security for the full and faithful performance and observance by Resident of each and every term and covenant of this Lease, including, without limitation, the payment of Rent. If the Security Deposit is in excess of one month’s Rent, it shall be deposited in an interest-bearing account at the institution indicated on the SOT. If the Security Deposit is not in excess of one month’s Rent, it shall be deposited in a non-interest-bearing account at the institution indicated in the SOT. Before Resident may occupy the Premises, Landlord must have received the full amount of the Security Deposit.

The Security Deposit may not be applied by Resident as Rent, but it is a good faith deposit for Resident’s faithful fulfillment of each condition in this Lease and as a contingency for payment to be applied against the costs of repairing any physical damage to the Premises caused by Resident or Resident’s invitees and guests. In addition, if Resident does not fulfill the entire term of this Lease, Resident shall relinquish the Security Deposit as liquidated damages for Landlord’s rental expenses even if Landlord is able to immediately re-lease the Premises for the same or more rent and even if there are no other damages. It is hereby agreed that Landlord's damages for re-leasing the Premises may be difficult to ascertain and that the Security Deposit constitutes a reasonable liquidation thereof and is intended not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages for Landlord’s reletting expenses.

Upon move-in, Resident will receive an Inspection Report from Landlord. The Inspection Report shall include a comprehensive list of any existing damage to the Premises, be signed by Landlord and Resident, and shall be for Resident's permanent retention. Upon Resident's surrendering possession of the Premises at the termination of this Lease (whether due to the Lease Term ending or through Landlord's obtaining knowledge of abandonment of the Premises), the Resident and the Landlord shall jointly inspect the Premises and complete the move-out inspection portion of the Inspection Report, listing any damage done to the Premises during the Lease Term which is the basis for any charge against the Security Deposit, and the estimated dollar value of such damage. Resident shall make an appointment with Landlord prior to the termination of this Lease to jointly inspect the Premises upon move-out. If Resident fails to make such appointment, Landlord may inspect the Premises without Resident, and the move- out portion of the Inspection Report shall be binding on Resident. Resident agrees to leave all utilities on until the move-out inspection is completed, and the cost of having power or utilities turned on to make the inspection shall be borne by Resident.

Landlord shall deduct from the Security Deposit sums sufficient to compensate Landlord for the following items prior to returning the Security Deposit or any portion thereof to Resident: (i) any damages sustained by Landlord as a result of Resident’s non- payment of Rent or Additional Rent or non-fulfillment of the initial Lease Term or any renewal period of this Lease including Resident’s failure to enter into possession, (ii) any failure to comply with the move-out procedures described in Section 5 of the Lease, (iii) any damages to the Premises in excess of normal wear and tear, (iv) any damages to the Premises due to the negligence, carelessness, accident or abuse of the Premises, (v) any unpaid bills which become a lien against the Premises due to the Resident’s occupancy, (vi) any costs of re-renting the Premises after a breach of this Lease by Resident, (vii) any court costs incurred by Landlord in connection with its termination of the tenancy; and (viii) any other damages which Landlord may sustain which may then be a permitted use of the Security Deposit under the applicable laws of this State. Under no circumstances can Resident apply any portion of the Security Deposit to Rent due and owed by Resident. After deduction of the items specified in the immediately preceding sentence or elsewhere in this Lease, the balance of the Security Deposit, if any, together with a written itemized accounting of any deductions which lists the exact reasons for such deductions shall be mailed to Resident no later than thirty (30) days after the termination of this Lease and delivery of possession of the Premises. Resident shall notify Landlord in writing of Resident's forwarding address in order to enable Landlord to return the statement required with respect to the Security Deposit and any appropriate return of any portion of the Security Deposit to Resident. Refunds shall be mailed to Resident at the forwarding address given to the Landlord. If Resident has not supplied Landlord with the correct forwarding address, Resident shall pay all costs incurred by Landlord in reissuing the refund check.

Resident shall promptly vacate the Premises and remove all of Resident's goods and property therefrom and shall not remain in possession of the Premises after the expiration of this Lease, whether such termination occurs by lapse of time or otherwise. After termination or expiration of this Lease, Resident shall be deemed to be a tenant at sufferance. At the expiration of the Lease Term, Landlord shall have the right to regain possession of the Premises. If Resident holds over and fails to move out on or before the date and time required under this Lease, and Landlord elects to consider Resident as a “resident holding over”, the rent for the holdover period (the “Holdover Rent”) shall be in the amount stated above until occupancy is redelivered to Landlord. Resident shall, and does hereby, indemnify Landlord for any damages or liabilities incurred due to such holdover. Landlord may, but is not required to, extend the Lease Term for one month by delivering written notice to Resident or the Premises while Resident is still holding over. Holdover Rent shall be immediately due on a daily basis in advance. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as consent by Landlord to Resident to holdover. In Landlord's sole discretion, Landlord may offset the daily Holdover Rent from Resident’s Security Deposit.

Early Termination by Landlord.
Pursuant to Section 5321.031 of the Ohio Revised Code, Landlord may terminate the Lease early and require Resident to vacate the Premises following a hearing in which Landlord determines that Resident violated a provision of the Lease. Landlord shall provide Resident prior written notice of the hearing. Landlord’s applicable notice and hearing procedures are specified in Exhibit B to this Lease.

NETWORK ACCESS POLICY

All rules and regulations issued from time to time by Landlord with respect to Internet and network access shall apply to Resident’s use thereof. Landlord may, at its discretion, from time to time change the service provider (the “Provider”) and make changes to the network system (the “System”). Provider and Landlord want Resident to be informed of his/her rights and obligations – and those of the Provider and Landlord – in connection with Resident’s use of the System and the Internet. The following policy (“Policy”) is intended as a plain English guide to those rights and obligations.

Resident acknowledges that Provider and Landlord cannot monitor, verify, warrant or vouch for the accuracy and quality of the information that it may acquire. For this reason, Resident must exercise its best judgment in relying on information obtained from the Internet, and also should be aware that some material posted to the Internet is sexually explicit or otherwise offensive. Because neither Provider nor Landlord can monitor and censor the Internet, and will not generally attempt to do so, neither Provider nor Landlord accepts any responsibility for injury to or damages suffered by Resident that results from inaccurate, unsuitable or offensive Internet communications.

Resident acknowledges that Landlord does not review, edit, censor or take responsibility for any information Resident or such other users may create. 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 the Provider’s System and may reach a large number of people, including both subscribers and non-subscribers of Provider, Resident and other users’ postings to the Internet may affect other users and may harm Provider’s and/or Landlord’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. Such violation by Resident constitutes a default by Resident under this Lease.
1. Spamming: Unsolicited, commercial mass emailing is a strongly disfavored practice among Internet users and service providers.
2. Copyright Violation: Violation of copyrights held by individuals and corporations or other entities can result in civil and criminal liability for the infringer, and can involve Landlord and/or Provider in litigation and possible loss of reputation.
3. Distribution and/or Transmission of Obscene or Indecent Speech or Materials: Violation of indecency and obscenity laws can result in criminal penalties.
4. Defamation: Defamatory speech distributed over the Internet can result in civil liability for the defamer and litigation against Landlord and/or Provider whose facilities were used to distribute the defamatory material.
5. Illegal/Unauthorized Access to Other Computer or Networks: The illegal or unauthorized accessing (often known as “hacking”) of computers or networks carriers potential civil and criminal penalties under both federal laws and the laws of most states.
6. Distribution of Internet Viruses, Worms, Trojan Horses and Other Destructive Activities: Distribution of Internet viruses, worms, Trojan horses and other destructive activities, such as hacking, can result in serious civil and/or criminal liability under federal and state law.
7. Export Control Violations: United States law limits the ability of persons to export certain types of encrypted software, over the Internet or otherwise, to points outside the United States.
8. Routers: Resident shall not use a router as it is unnecessary on the Apartment Community’s network and could potentially disable service to others if installed. A resident found in violation will be charged back for any third party service fees incurred in removing such resident’s router from the Apartment Community’s network.
9. Computers: Resident acknowledges that the Apartment Community is not responsible for personal devices. Resident understands that all personal equipment must be virus free and have up-to-date software to function properly on the Apartment Community’s network.
10. Other Activities: Such other activities, whether lawful or unlawful, that Provider and/or Landlord may determine, and so notify Resident, to be harmful to the System or to its or their respective subscribers, residents, operations or reputation, including any activities that restrict or inhibit any other users from using and enjoying the services or the Internet.
Resident acknowledges that the Apartment Community collects user-submitted account information such as name and email address to identify users and send notifications related to residential issues. Email addresses will never be sold to anyone, and they will not be used for spam or any other purpose outside of the Apartment Community. Furthermore, Resident grants permission for Landlord to send Resident text, phone messages, letter correspondence and emails regarding resident events, roommate matching and any other issues pertaining to his or her lease and residency at the Apartment Community.

To this end, Resident 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 Resident(s) or any guest occupying or using the Apartment or the breach of this Addendum.
- Resident acknowledges that Landlord shall not be liable for any loss of personal property to Resident as a result of an infestation of bedbugs. Resident agrees to have personal property insurance to cover such losses.
