ANIMAL ADDENDUM
Becomes part of Lease Contract

Date:  October 30, 2021


(when this Addendum is filled out)
Please note: We consider animals a serious responsibility and a risk to each resident in the dwelling. If you do not properly control and
care for your animal, you’ll be held liable if it causes any damage or disturbs other residents.
In this document, the terms “you” and “your” refer to all residents listed below and all occupants or guests; and the terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer
to the owner named in the Lease Contract (not to the property manager or anyone else).
NOTIFICATION OF YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING SECURITY DEPOSITS. Under Md. Code Ann., Real Prop. § 8-203 you have the following rights:
The security deposit or any portion of it may be withheld for unpaid rent, damage due to breach of lease or for damage by you or your
family, agents, employees, guests or invitees in excess of ordinary wear and tear to the leased premises, common areas, major appliances,
and furnishings owned by us.
You have the right to be present when we or our agent inspects the premises in order to determine if any damage was done to the
premises, if you notify us by certified mail of your intention to move, the date of moving, and your new address.
Your notice requesting a move-out inspection in our presence must be furnished to us by mail at least fifteen (15) days prior to the
date you move.
Upon receipt of your notice to move, we will notify you by certified mail of the time and date the premises are to be inspected.
The date of inspection will take place within five (5) days before or five (5) days after the date of moving that is designated in your
notice.
Failure by us to comply with this requirement forfeits our right to withhold any part of the security deposit for damages.
The security deposit is not liquidated damages and may not be forfeited to us for breach of the rental agreement, except in the amount
that we are actually damaged by your breach.
In calculating the damages for lost future rents, any amount of rents received by us for the premises during the remainder, if any, of
your lease term, will reduce the damages you owe us by a like amount.

costs in accordance with state and local statutes. Under any allocation method, Resident may be paying for part of the utility usage in common
areas or in other residential units as well as administrative fees. Both Resident and Owner agree that using a calculation or allocation formula
as a basis for estimating total utility consumption is fair and reasonable, while recognizing that the allocation method may or may not
accurately reflect actual total utility consumption for Resident. Where lawful, we may change the above methods of determining your allocated
share of utilities and services and all other billing methods, in our sole discretion, and after providing written notice to you. More detailed
descriptions of billing methods, calculations and allocation formulas will be provided upon request.
If a flat fee method for trash or other utility service is used, Resident and Owner agree that the charges indicated in this Agreement (as may
be amended with written notice as specified above) represent a fair and reasonable amount for the service(s) provided and that the amount
billed is not based on a monthly per unit cost.

3. When billed by us directly or through our billing company, you must pay utility bills within days of the date when the utility
bill is issued at the place indicated on your bill, or the payment will be late. If a payment is late, you will be responsible for a late fee as indicated

remedies available under the Lease, up to and including eviction for nonpayment. To the extent there are any new account, monthly
administrative, late or final bill fees, you shall pay such fees as indicated below.
New Account Fee: $

service billed to us for your dwelling and may charge a reasonable administration fee for billing for the utility service in the amount of

5. When you move out, you will receive a final bill which may be estimated based on your prior utility usage. This bill must be paid at the time
you move out or it will be deducted from the security deposit.

6. We are not liable for any losses or damages you incur as a result of outages, interruptions, or fluctuations in utility services provided to the
dwelling unless such loss or damage was the direct result of negligence by us or our employees. You release us from any and all such claims
and waive any claims for offset or reduction of rent or diminished rental value of the dwelling due to such outages, interruptions, or fluctuations

7. You agree not to tamper with, adjust, or disconnect any utility sub-metering system or device. Violation of this provision is a material breach
of your Lease and may subject you to eviction or other remedies available to us under your Lease, this Utility Addendum and at law.

8. Where lawful, all utilities, charges and fees of any kind under this lease shall be considered additional rent, and if partial payments are
accepted by the Owner, they will be allocated first to non-rent charges and to rent last.

of any change in such number of occupants.

10. You agree that you may, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice from Owner to you, begin receiving a bill for additional utilities and
services, at which time such additional utilities and services shall for all purposes be included in the term Utilities.

jurisdiction where such use would be unlawful. If any provision of this addendum or the Lease is invalid or unenforceable under applicable
law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability only without invalidating or otherwise affecting
the remainder of this addendum or the Lease. Except as specifically stated herein, all other terms and conditions of the Lease shall remain
unchanged. In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Addendum and the terms of the Lease, the terms of this Addendum shall

Addendum vary or contradict any terms or conditions found

3. Maryland law permits the limited use of medical marijuana
in specific and limited circumstances. However, this is not
the case under federal law. Under federal law, specifically the
Controlled Substances Act (CSA), marijuana is still categorized
as a Schedule I substance. This means that under federal law,
the manufacture, distribution, or possession of marijuana is
strictly prohibited. Because the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development is controlled by the federal
government, it agrees that the use of marijuana, whether
prescribed for medical reasons or not, is a criminal offense
and will not be protected under the fair housing laws.
Therefore, apartment complexes are not required to
accommodate the use of marijuana by a tenant who is a current
medical marijuana user.

LIABILITY INSURANCE REQUIREMENT

THIS ADDENDUM is made a part of and attached to the Lease dated 10/30/2021
________________________ by and
between Arbor
__________________________________________________________________,
Vista Properties LLC Lessor, and
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Samuel Argueta Reyes, Dina Esquivel de Argueta
______________________________________________________________________________, Lessees(s),
for the apartment premises located at The
_____________________________________________
Gallery on New Hampshire (Premises).
For mutual and proper consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the
Parties agree as follows:

Each Lessee is required to maintain a minimum $100,000 in liability/property damage coverage during
the entire term of the lease and any subsequent renewal periods. Policy must provide coverage for any
and all causes of loss, including without limitation: damage caused by water, fire, smoke or explosion.
Lessor must be listed as ‘additional interest’ or ‘interested party’. Lessee may purchase coverage from
the insurance company of their choice with the stipulation that the provider is licensed to do business
in the State in which the Premises are located. Lessor retains the right to hold Lessee responsible for
damage or loss in excess of the insurance coverage and Lessee shall remain contractually liable to
Lessor for any such damages. In the event of liability to any other party for bodily injury or property
damage, Lessee shall remain liable to such other party.

Prior to taking occupancy of the Premises, each Lessee shall provide to Lessor a certificate from their
insurance company or agent evidencing that insurance coverage, satisfying the minimum requirements
above, has been obtained by Lessee. The certificate shall require that the insurance company give
Lessor at least 10 days’ prior written notice of the cancellation or non-renewal of such coverage. If
Lessee furnishes evidence of such insurance and maintains such insurance for the duration of the
Lease, nothing more is required.

Lessee’s failure to provide Lessor with evidence of coverage prior to taking possession of the Premises,
or Lessee’s failure to maintain liability insurance coverage as required by this Addendum throughout
the entire term of the Lease and any subsequent renewal periods, shall be a default under the Lease.
Lessor shall have, in addition to any other rights under the Lease, the right to purchase on behalf of
the Lessee the minimum required insurance coverage and require that Lessee reimburse Lessor monthly
for all costs and expenses associated with such purchase. Such reimbursement shall be considered as
additional monthly rent and Lessee agrees that in the event Lessee fails to reimburse Lessor for the
total cost of the minimum required insurance coverage, Lessee shall be in breach of this Addendum and
the Lease, and Lessor reserves the right to declare Lessee in default of the Lease.

Insurance coverage purchased by Lessor is designed to fulfill the minimum required insurance under
the Lease for any and all causes of loss, including without limitation: damage caused by water, fire,
smoke or explosion.
• Coverage purchased by Lessor will show Lessor as the insured. Lessee will be listed as
additional interest.
• Coverage purchased by Lessor is NOT personal liability coverage for Lessee and does not cover
the Lessee’s personal property (contents), additional living expenses or liability arising out of
bodily injury or property damage to any third party. Lessor strongly encourages Lessee to
obtain such coverage, and if Lessee requires any of these coverages, then Lessee should
contact an insurance agent or insurance company of Lessee’s choice to obtain personal liability
insurance or renters insurance to protect Lessee’s interests.
• Coverage purchased by Lessor may be more expensive than the cost of insurance obtainable by
Lessee elsewhere. At any time, Lessee may contact an insurance agent or insurance company
of their choice for insurance options to satisfy the minimum required insurance coverage under
this Lease.

The total cost to the Lessee for the Lessor obtaining coverage shall be $10.00 per month. Licensed
insurance agents may receive commission on the purchased coverage. Lessor may have a profit interest
in the insurance company taking the risk. The management company may earn an administrative fee
for managing the transaction.

Rev-res-20190916
� Blue Moon eSignature Services Document ID: 289441443
Lessee may purchase minimum required insurance or broader coverage from an insurance agent or
insurance company of Lessee’s choice at any time and in such an event, coverage purchased by Lessor
will terminate as of that date when Lessee provides Lessor with written proof of coverage.

Where any term or condition of this Addendum and the Lease may conflict, the Addendum shall
control.
