Defendant acknowledges that her tenancy has been terminated and her rental agreement has been forfeited. However, Plaintiff and Defendant agree that Defendant may maintain possession of the Premises, so long as she complies with the terms of this Stipulation. 1. Each provision of this Stipulation is considered material by the parties. Time is of the essence in performance of all obligations hereunder. The term of this Stipulation will be from the date that the parties execute this Stipulation until Defendant pays off the balance in paragraph 1 SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND STIPULATION FOR ENTRY OF JUDGMENT OR DISMISSALthree in full. (“Termination Date”). If Defendant’s income should decrease pursuant to paragraph three, the amount of the payment due and owing under paragraph three will be decreased so that it remains no more than 7.5% of Defendant’s adjusted income. If Defendant’s income should decrease pursuant to paragraph three, the Termination Date of this Stipulation will continue until Defendant pays off the balance in paragraph three in full. At the termination of this Stipulation, as long as Defendant is not in default with respect to any provision of this Stipulation, Defendant’s tenancy will be automatically reinstated and Plaintiff will file a Request for Entry of Dismissal. 2. Beginning on July 1, 2012, Defendant shall pay damages in an amount equivalent to the monthly rental rate of eighty-three dollars ($83.00) on or before the fifth of each month. If the damage amount is adjusted due to a change in Defendant’s income, Defendant shall pay the adjusted damage amount. 3. In addition to the damages payable pursuant to paragraph two above, Defendant agrees that she owes Plaintiff the sum of one thousand six hundred one dollars ($1,601.00) which} represents unlawful detainer damages for the period ending June 30, 2012. Beginning July 1, 2012, Defendant shall pay, on or before the fifth of each month, damages in the amount of twenty-five dollars ($25.00) toward the Balance, calculated at no more than 7.5% of Defendant’s adjusted monthly income. If Defendant’s income should decrease, the amount of this payment will be decreased so that it remains no more than 7.5% of Defendant’s adjusted monthly income. It remains Defendant’s obligation to report changes in income in accordance with her rental agreement. Defendant may make additional payments toward the Balance or pay off the Balance in full at any time. 4. If Defendant breaches paragraphs two or three of this Stipulation it will be considered a material breach of this Stipulation and Plaintiff is entitled to entry of judgment for possession of the Premises, issuance of a writ of possession and forfeiture of the rental agreement and any unpaid balance then due and owing. After the first missed payment future payments will be adjusted to reflect the missed payment as well as the recurring obligations under this Stipulation. 2 SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND STIPULATION FOR ENTRY OF JUDGMENT OR DISMISSALPlaintiff may move for entry of judgment via ex parte application upon seven days written notice to Defendant. 5. Defendant understands and agrees that the payments required by this Stipulation do not constitute rent nor do they act to create a new tenancy or reinstate Defendant’s tenancy but instead are damages pursuant to settlement unless and until she has completed all obligations required by this Stipulation. After expiration of this Stipulation and dismissal of this case, all payments made pursuant to sections two and three will be credited to Defendant as rent. Defendant further agrees that any recertification of Defendant during the pendency of this Stipulation will not reinstate her tenancy or act as a waiver of Plaintiff's rights under this Stipulation. 6. If Defendant transfers to another rental unit owned or managed by Plaintiff after execution of this Stipulation, Defendant agrees that all terms and conditions of this Stipulation will transfer and apply to any such rental unit that she may transfer or move to during the terms of this Stipulation including but not limited to the Termination Date. The signing of a rental agreement for any other rental unit owned or managed by Plaintiff after execution of this Stipulation will not invalidate, cancel, waive, or terminate the repayment plan set forth in sections two and three of this Stipulation. 7. Defendant acknowledges that her tenancy has been terminated and the rental agreement has been forfeited. However, Defendant agrees to fully comply with all obligations under the rental agreement, the guest policy and house rules, as if her tenancy had not been terminated, except for those obligations related to payment of unlawful detainer damages, length of term, extension of term, recertification and except as otherwise set forth herein. As such, grievance procedure provisions of the rental agreement will remain in effect for all issues not specifically covered by this Stipulation. Inclusion or reference to the rental agreement, guest policy, and house rules will not act to create or reinstate Defendant’s tenancy at the Premises. If there is any conflict between the rental agreement and this Stipulation, the terms of this Stipulation will control in all respects. 3 SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT AND STIPULATION FOR ENTRY OF JUDGMENT OR DISMISSAL8.
