(1) two-burner stove top, (1) refrigerator (1) microwave, (1) twin mattress, (1) twin box spring, (1) twin bed
frame, (1) table, (1) chair, and (1) dresser.
~~ Explanation of the. Housing Program: This community is operated in accordance with the requirements of the
‘Low Income Housing Tax Credit Program (CLIHTC’) governed by Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code,
the Affordable Housing Program (“AHP”) governed by 12 CFR 1291, requirements of the City & County of
San Francisco Local Operating Subsidy Program (“LOSP”), requirements of the San Francisco Department of
Public Health (“SF DPH”) Direct Access fo Housing (“DAH”) program, the State of California Mental Health
Services Act (“MHSA”), Housing Opportunities for People With AIDS (HOPWA), AND with the Multifamily
Housing Program (hereinafter “MHP") administered by the California Department of Housing and Community
Development (“HCD”) pursuant to Chapter 6.7, commencing with Section 50675, Part 2 of Division 31 of the
Health and Safety Code. Your initial occupancy and continued occupancy are subject to the eligibility
requirements of LIHTC, AHP, MHSA, LOSP, SF DPH, DAH, HOPWA and MHP (collectively the
“program”). You must cooperate with management in certifying and maintaining Your eligibility for the
Program.
This lease is subject to the following terms and conditions:
1. Regulations. This lease and Your occupancy of the Unit are governed by the Regulations (hereinafter
the “Regulations”) of a) the State of California, Tax Credit Allocation Committee (“TCAC”); and b) the
MHP Program of HCD. If any terms of this lease are inconsistent or in conflict with the Regulations,
then {be most restrictive of the affected Regulations shall control.

EXHIBIT ZAcayenne COMMUNITY HOUSING PARTNERSHIP
Rene Cazenave Apartments
Residential Lease Agreement
You agree to pay $173.00 for the partial month ending on March 31, 2014. After that, You agree
to pay the net rent for the Unit of $ 448 per month by or on behalf of You to Us at the following
address: 25 Essex Street, San Fi California, 94105 — Proy M ’s Office. The
monthly Rent shall be paid in advance on or before the first day of each month and is late on the
sixth day. If rent is not paid by 5:00 p.m. on the 5th day, You may be charged a late rent charge
of $20.00. Tenant and Landlord agree that Landlord will sustain damage on account of any late
payment of rent, but that it will be impracticable and extremely difficult to specify the actual
amount of such damages. The parties therefore agree that this late charge represents a fair and
reasonable estimate of the damages that Landlord will incur by reason of the late payment of
rent. Any check retumed for non-sufficient funds or if You instruct Your bank to stop payment
will be considered as a non-payment of rent. A $20.00 dishonored check fee will be charged to
You in addition to the late fee, if applicable. Two (2) such returned checks will warrant all
future rents be paid by money order or cashier’s check. Management will determine that You
are able to pay by check only if rent has been paid on time for three (3) consecutive months
following the date of the latest retumed checks. The rent amount shown above inciudes a
deduction for the utility allowance for the Unit as established by the Program.
We will adjust the initial rent described above as allowed by the Program requirements annually,
except that the first year adjustment may occur within less than twelve (12) months to coincide
with the Development fiscal year. We will provide You with thirty (30) days’ written notice, or
more, if required by law, prior to the effective date of any rent adjustment.
(i) Increase in Area Median Income (“AMI”) limits. Your rent is based on AMI figures as
released annually by HCD. The AMI figures report the income of families of different sizes
as that income compares to the median income of all families of the same size within a
certain area of the state. As these figures increase annually, as they usually do, Your rent
may increase by the same percentage of increase. However, any increase in Your rent cannot
exceed 150% of “CPi” as defined in the MHP Regulations. CPI is a cost index indicating
how much prices change every year.
(ii) Income decrease. If Your income gocs down to an amount one or more levels below Your
current AMI bracket (defined on your Tenant Income Certification), where for instance, Your
household income is at 30% of AMI and Your income falls to 20% of AMI, Your rent may
decrease after Your next recertification.
(iii) Family composition change. If the number of people residing in Your Unit changes, You
may be required to change units or vacate the Development. If You have more people
residing in Your Unit than at Your initial occupancy, under some conditions, You may be
disqualified from the Program.
(iv) Student status change. If some or all of Your family members become students, or are 20
longer students and go to work, such changes may affect Your Program eligibility. Talk to

Your eligibility.
(v) Disabled Unit modifications or features. If Your Unit contains special modifications or
features for disabled persons and no one in Your household has the need for these special
modifications or features You may be required to change units. If another household applies
to the Development and would only be able to participate in the Program if these special
modifications or features were made available We would contact You and arrange for Your
transfer to a Unit appropriate for Your household, Unless You or a member of Your
houschold becomes disabled and requires such modifications or features You agree to
transfer to another comparable Unit, without special modifications or features for disabled
persons.
(vi) Rent subsidy. Your Unit may be cligible for a rent subsidy from from LOSP. You will be
required to sign a subsidy agreement attached to this Lease Agreement and must abide by the
Program requirements in order to receive this subsidy. The rent You are required to pay may
increase or decrease based on the status of this Program but will not exceed rents allowed by

NOTICE - GOOD CAUSE EVICTION PROTECTION
‘As d resident in a “Housing Tax Credit Program” rental unif, you have a right to confinue living in
your rental unit unless you do something that gives your landlord “good cause" to evict you, This
notice provides basic information about your rights.
Why are you being notified of your right against eviction without “good cause"?
The federal law that created the Housing Credit Program requires this protection. The
California Tax Credit Allocation Committee requires your landlord to notify you and amend
your lease, You and your landlord must also sign the “Lease Rider’ to make this important
resident protection part of your lease. This “Lease Rider" has already been signed by your
Jandlord and shouid be attached to this notice for your signature.
What is “good cause” for your landlord to evict or to terminate your tenancy?
There is no specific list of “good causes” to evict residents. Rather. this matter has been left
to the courts to decide and define. However, your landlord would have “good cause” if
you commit a serious or repeated Violation of the significant terms of your lease. Some
examples of what might be considered good cause are failure to pay rent on time, iaiiure
to cooperate with legal recertification requirements, and
engaging in illegal activily on the premises.
L Gan your landlord refuse to renew your jease without showing good cause? ‘|
No, Ihe owner must have good cause for any eviction or termination of tenancy, including
a refusal to renew your lease when if expires.
What if your lease does not yet include protection against being evicied without “good cause"?
Even if your lease does not state this protection, you have the right NOT to be evicted
without "good cause.” To strengthen this protection, you should immediately sign and return
the "Lease Rider.”
