DISCLOSURES
LEAD-BASED PAINT DISCLOSURE: The Community E WAS U WAS NOT constructed prior to 1978'.
'If the Community was constructed prior to 1978. MN Lead-Based Paint Disclosure attached.

MOLD PREVENTION: Molds are naturally occurring organisms that exist virtually everywhere in our environment both indoors -

and outdoors. However. the presence of indoor mold is not only unsightly. but it can also cause
damage to the Residence, and
worse. may lead to adverse health effects. Landlord requires that all Tenants lake appropriate precautions to prevent mold. To
minimize the potential for mold growth in Tenant's Residence, Tenant shall do the following:

- KEEP RESIDENCE CLEAN: The kitchen. the bathroom(s). carpets and floors are particularly susceptible to mold growth.
Regular vacuuming. mopping, and using a household cleaner to clean hard surfaces is important to remove the
household dirt and debris that harbor mold. Moldy foods should be disposed of immediately.
o REMOVE VISIBLE MOISTURE ACCUMULATION 0N SURFACES AS SOON AS REASONABLY POSSIBLE: Look for
leaky pipes. washing machine hoses and discharge lines. When showering. keep the shower curtain inside the bathtub or
fully close the shower doors. It ls recommended that Tenant (1) Mpe moisture off shower walls, shower doors, the bathtub
and the bathroom ﬂoor, (2) leave the bathroom door open until all moisture on the mirrors and bathroom walls and tile
surfaces has dissipated. and (3) hang up towels and bath mats so they will completely dry out. Tenant should turn on
any
exhaust fans in the bathroom and/or kitchen before showering or cooking.
o IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY LANDLORD IN WRITING ABOUT ANY AIR CONDITIONING OR HEATING SYSTEM
PROBLEMS: Tenant should periodically open windows and doors on days when the outdoor weather is dry (i.e.. humidity
is below 50 percent) to help humid areas of the Residence dry out.
- IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY LANDLORD IN WRITING ABOUT ANY SIGNS OF WATER LEAKS, WATER INFILTRATION 0R
MOLD: Landlord will respond in accordance with applicable law and the Lease to repair or remedy the situation as
necessary.
o AVOID MOLD GROWTH: Excessive moisture buildup in the Residence can cause mold growth and should be avoided.
Failure to promptly pay attention to leaks and moisture that might accumulate on surfaces or that might get inside walls or
ceilings can encourage mold growth. Prolonged moisture can result from the following sources:
o Rainwater leaking from roofs. windows. doors and outside walls. as mil as ﬂood waters rising above floor level;
o Overﬂows from showers. bathtubs. toilets. sinks, washing machines. dehumidiﬁers. refrigerators. or alr
conditioners:
o Leaks from plumbing lines and leaks into walls from missing grouting/caulking around showers. tubs or sinks;
o Washing machine hose leaks. plant watering overtlows. animal urine. cooking spills. beverage spills, and steam
from cooking;
o Leaks from clothes dryer discharge vents (which can put a lot of moisture into the air); and
o Insufficient drying of carpets. carpet pads. shower walls and bathroom floors.
o DO NOT CLEAN OR APPLY HOUSEHOLD CLEANERS TO: (1) visible mold on porous surfaces such as sheetrock walls
or ceilings. or (2) large areas of visible mold on non-porous surfaces. Instead.
notify Landlord in writing as soon as mold is
discovered.

PEST PREVENTION: Cleanliness and vigilance are the best preventative medicine in controlling pests. Dispose of all garbage and
waste. Do not leave food, dirty dishes. or sott drink bottles/cans lying around. Do not
bring cardboard boxes. crates. or other
materials that may have been accessible to pests into your Residence. Storage of foodstuffs.
grains. or like materials should only be
in plastic or metal sealed containers. Be careful bringing
luggage and used furniture or property into your Residence. Some pests.
like bedbugs. can hitchhike on you or your belongings. Even the "cleanest"
housekeeper may pick-up a bedbug from clothes at a
laundry. luggage and travel. Tenant agrees to notify Landlord if it sees signs of pests in the Residence or any other place ln the
Community. Failure to promptly notify Landlord of pests in Tenant's Residence is a serious vlolatlon of this Lease. Prompt
notiﬁcation to Landlord is necessary to prevent pest infestation and to keep pests from
spreading. If routine inspections ﬁnd that a
Residence has had an ongoing pest problem that is not reported. this may be grounds for lease termination. nonrenewal or
charging
Tenant for pest treatments and damages in other residences or common areas.

EQUAL HOUSIN : The Community is a provider of fair housing and does not discriminate against persons on the basis of race.
color, national origin. ethnicity. ancestry. gender. disability, familial status. marital status, religion. sexual orientation or reliance on
public assistance. Any act or practice believed to be discriminatory should be reported to Landlord.
