people who may legally occupy an Apartment of this size.
22. Failure to give possession Landlord shall not be liable for failure to give Tenant possession of the Apartment on the beginning date of the
Term. Rent shall be payable as of the beginning of the Term unless Landlord is unable to give possession. Rent shall then be payable as of the date
possession is available. Landlord must give pos sion within a reasonable time, if not, Tenant may cancel and obtain a refund of money deposited.
Landlord will notify Tenant as to the date possession is available. The ending date of the Term will not change.
3. Rent, added rent The rent payment for each month must be paid on the first day of that month at Landlord’s address Landlord need not give
notice to pay the rent. Rent must be paid in full without deduction. The first month’s rent is to be paid when Tenant s ns t is Lease. Tenant may be
required to pay other charges to Landlord under the terms of this Lease. They are called “added rent.” This added rent will be billed and is payable as
rent, together with the next monthly rent due. If Tenant fails to pay the added rent on time, Landlord shall have the same rights against Tenant as if
Tenant failed to pay rent.

5. Security Tenant has given security to Landlord in the amount stated above. If Tenant does not pay rent or added rent on time, Landlord may
use the security to pay for rent and added rent then due. If Tenant fails to timely perform any other term in this Lease Landlord may use the security
for payment of money Landlord may spend, or damages Landlord suffers because of Tenant’s failure. If the Landlord uses the security Tenant, shall,
upon notice from Landlord, send to Landlord an amount equal to the sum used by Landlord. That amount is due, when billed, as rent. At all times
Landlord is to have the amount of security stated above. If Tenant fully performs all terms of this Lease, pays rent on time and leaves the Apartment in

buyer or lessee for the return of the security and Landlord will be deemed released. The Landlord may use the security as stated in this section. Landlord
may put the security in any place permitted by law. I understand and agree that the security deposit shall bear no interest. And so too this security
deposit should not be used as a final month’s rent, I am also aware that any raise in rent or lease renewals requires that security deposit should be added
so that it should be equal to current monthly rent.
6. Services Landlord will supply cold water for bathroom and kitchen sink. Stopping or reducing of service(s) will not be reason for Tenant to
stop paying rent, to make a money claim eviction. Damage to the equipment or appliances supplied by Landlord, caused by Tenant’s act or neglect,
