_________________.

In accordance with Florida law (Florida Statute Section 83.49), Landlord is required to include in Tenant's
lease the following provisions regarding return of security deposits. Florida Statute Section 83.49(3):

YOUR LEASE REQUIRES PAYMENT OF CERTAIN DEPOSITS. THE LANDLORD MAY TRANSFER
ADVANCE RENTS TO THE LANDLORD'S ACCOUNT AS THEY ARE DUE AND WITHOUT
NOTICE. WHEN YOU MOVE OUT, YOU MUST GIVE THE LANDLORD YOUR NEW ADDRESS SO
THAT THE LANDLORD CAN SEND YOU NOTICES REGARDING YOUR DEPOSIT. THE
LANDLORD MUST MAIL YOU NOTICE, WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER YOU MOVE OUT, OF THE
LANDLORD'S INTENT TO IMPOSE A CLAIM AGAINST THE DEPOSIT. IF YOU DO NOT REPLY
TO THE LANDLORD STATING YOUR OBJECTION TO THE CLAIM WITHIN 15 DAYS AFTER
RECEIPT OF THE LANDLORD'S NOTICE, THE LANDLORD WILL COLLECT THE CLAIM AND
MUST MAIL YOU THE REMAINING DEPOSIT, IF ANY.

IF THE LANDLORD FAILS TO TIMELY MAIL YOU NOTICE, THE LANDLORD MUST RETURN
THE DEPOSIT BUT MAY LATER FILE A LAWSUIT AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES. IF YOU FAIL
TO TIMELY OBJECT TO A CLAIM, THE LANDLORD MAY COLLECT FROM THE DEPOSIT, BUT
YOU MAY LATER FILE A LAWSUIT CLAIMING A REFUND.

YOU SHOULD ATTEMPT TO INFORMALLY RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BEFORE FILING A


LAWSUIT. GENERALLY, THE PARTY IN WHOSE FAVOR A JUDGMENT IS RENDERED WILL BE
AWARDED COSTS AND ATTORNEY FEES PAYABLE BY THE LOSING PARTY.

THIS DISCLOSURE IS BASIC. PLEASE REFER TO PART II OF CHAPTER 83, FLORIDA STATUTES,
TO DETERMINE YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS.

The landlord or the landlord's agent may disburse advance rents from the deposit account to the landlord's
benefit when the advance rental period commences and without notice to the tenant. For all other
deposits:

(a) Upon the vacating of the Property for termination of the lease, if the landlord does not intend to
impose a claim on the security deposit, the landlord shall have 15 days to return the security deposit
together with interest if otherwise required, or the landlord shall have 30 days to give the tenant written
notice by certified mail to the tenant's last know mailing address of his or her intention to impose a claim
on the deposit and the reason for imposing the claim. The notice shall contain a statement in substantially
the following form: This is a notice of my intention to impose a claim for damages in the amount of $
_____upon Tenant's security deposit, due to _____. It is sent to you as required by s. 83.49(3), Florida
Statutes. You are hereby notified that you must object in writing to this deduction from you security
deposit within 15 days from the time you receive this notice or I will be authorized to deduct my claim
from your security deposit. Tenant's objection must be sent to (landlord's address). If the landlord fails to
give the required notice within the 30-day period, he or she forfeits the right to impose a claim upon the
security deposit and may not seek a setoff against the deposit but may file an action for damages after
return of the deposit.

(b) Unless the tenant objects to the imposition of the landlord's claim or the amount thereof within 15
days after receipt of the landlord's notice of intention to impose a claim, the landlord may then deduct the
amount of his or her claim and shall remit the balance of the deposit to the tenant within 30 days after the
date of the notice of intention to impose a claim for damages. The failure of the tenant to make a timely
objection does not waive any rights of the tenant to seek damages in a separate action.

(c) If either party institutes an action in a court of competent jurisdiction to adjudicate the party's right to
the security deposit, the prevailing party is entitled to receive his or her court costs plus a reasonable fee
for his or her attorney. The court shall advance the cause on the calendar.

(d) Compliance with this section by an individual or business entity authorized to conduct business in this
state, including Florida-licensed real estate brokers and sales associates, constitutes compliance with all
other relevant Florida Statutes pertaining to security deposits held pursuant to a rental agreement or other
landlord-tenant relationship. Enforcement personnel shall look solely to this section to determine
compliance. This section prevails over any conflicting provisions in chapter 475 and in other sections of
the Florida Statutes, and shall operate to permit licensed real estate brokers to disburse security deposits
and deposit money without having to comply with the notice and settlement procedures contained in s.
475.25(1)(d).

6. Late Payments. For any payment that is not paid within 1 days after its due date, Tenant must pay a late
fee in the amount of $295.00. The late fee is a cost associated with the collection of rent and the Landlord's
acceptance of a late charge does not waive Landlord's right to exercise remedies under the "Default" section
of this Agreement.

7. Failure to Pay. Tenant is hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on Tenant's credit history
may be submitted to a credit reporting agency if Tenant fails to fulfill the terms of their credit obligations,
such as their financial obligations under the terms of this Agreement.

8. Occupants. The only persons who may live on the Property during the term of this Agreement are:

- Angelique Anna Hernandez

No more than 2 person(s) may reside on the Property unless the prior written consent of the Landlord is
obtained.

Tenant may have guests on the Property for not over 0 consecutive days or 0 days in a calendar year, and no
more than two guests per bedroom at any one time. Persons staying more than 0 consecutive days or more
than 0 days in any calendar year will NOT be considered original occupants of the Property. Tenant is not
required to disclose to Landlord when guests stay at the Property fewer than 0 consecutive days or 0 days in
a calendar year, but Tenant must obtain the prior written approval of Landlord if an invitee of Tenant will be
present at the Property for more than 0 consecutive days or 0 days in a calendar year.

9. Possession. Tenant will be entitled to possession of the Property on the first day of the term of this
Agreement, and will yield possession to Landlord on the last day of the term of this Agreement, unless
otherwise agreed by both parties in writing. At the expiration of the term, Tenant will remove its goods and
effects and peaceably yield up the Property to Landlord in as good a condition as when delivered to Tenant,
ordinary wear and tear excepted.
In the event that Tenant abandons the Property, or does not pay the Rent due for the Property, Landlord may,
at Landlord's discretion, establish a lien upon all items found upon or off the Property, other than beds,
bedclothes and wearing apparel, as allowed under Florida Statutes § 83.08-09.

10. Use of Property/Absences. Tenant will occupy and use the Property as a full-time residential dwelling
unit. Tenant will notify Landlord of any anticipated extended absence from the Property not later than the
first day of the extended absence.

No retail, commercial or professional use of the Property is allowed unless the Tenant receives prior written
consent of the Landlord and such use conforms to applicable zoning laws. In such case, Landlord may
require Tenant obtain a Commercial General Liability insurance policy for the benefit of Landlord. If Tenant
fails to obtain the insurance called for hereunder, Landlord may obtain such insurance at Tenant's expense.
Failure to provide Landlord with copies of those policies shall be deemed to be a failure by Tenant to obtain
the required insurance. Such insurance must possess a minimum limit of $1,000,000.00 per occurrence and
not less than $2,000,000.00 per year. Landlord reserves the right to refuse to consent to such use in its sole
and absolute discretion.

The failure to abide by the provisions of this section will constitute a material breach of this Agreement and
is a just cause for eviction.

11. Appliances. The following appliances will be provided by Landlord:

- Stove
- Refrigerator
- Microwave oven

Tenant will return all such items at the end of the term in a condition as good as existed at the beginning of
the lease term, normal wear and tear excepted. Landlord shall be responsible for the reasonable maintenance
of the above items against normal wear and tear. Tenant shall be responsible for the maintenance or
replacement of the above items in the event of damage or breakage.

Tenant shall not store any property in any area outside of the rented Property at any time. Tenant shall store
only personal property Tenant owns, and shall not store property claimed by another or in which another has
any right, title or interest. Tenant shall not store any improperly packaged food or perishable goods,
flammable materials, explosives, hazardous waste or other inherently dangerous material, or illegal
substances. Landlord shall not be liable for loss of, or damage to, any stored items.

13. Parking. This Lease does not include or provide for parking spaces for motor vehicles or motorcycles
anywhere in or about the Property and or Building.

14. Roof/Fire Escapes. Use of the roof and/or the fire escapes by Tenants and/or guests is limited to
emergency use only. No other use is permitted, including but not limited to, the placement of personal

Strays shall not be kept or fed in or about the Property. Strays can be dangerous and Landlord must be
notified immediately of any strays in or about the Property.
16. Keys and Locks. Tenant will be given a set number of keys for the Property. If all keys are not returned
to Landlord following termination of the Agreement, Tenant will be charged a non-fundable monetary fee to
replace the keys. If a security deposit was collected by the Landlord at the time of signing this Agreement,
then such amount will be subtracted from the Security Deposit. Tenant is not permitted to change any lock or
place additional locking devices on any door or window of the Property without Landlord's approval prior to
installation. If allowed, Tenant must provide Landlord with keys to any changed lock immediately upon
installation.

17. Smoking. Smoking is prohibited in any area in or on the Premises and on the Property, both private and
common, whether enclosed or outdoors. This policy applies to all owners, tenants, guests, employees, and
servicepersons. The Tenant will be liable for any damages caused to the Premises or Property due to Tenant

manager to enter the Property to perform such maintenance or repairs in accordance with this Agreement
unless otherwise specifically requested, in writing, by Tenant. Tenant may not place any unreasonable
restrictions upon Landlord or property manager's access or entry. Landlord will have expectation that the
Property is in a safe and habitable condition upon entry. Costs of maintenance and repair, other than required
by Florida Statutes § 83.51(1), shall be borne by Tenant. Per Florida Statutes § 83.51(4) Landlord shall not

default is provided by Landlord to Tenant, Landlord may elect to cure such default and the cost of such
action will be added to Tenant's financial obligations under this Agreement. All sums of money or charges
required to be paid by Tenant under this Agreement will be additional rent, whether or not such sums or

be sent to (landlord's address). If the landlord fails to give the required notice within the 30-day period, he
or she forfeits the right to impose a claim upon the security deposit.

(b) Unless the tenant objects to the imposition of the landlord's claim or the amount thereof within 15 days
after receipt of the landlord's notice of intention to impose a claim, the landlord may then deduct the amount
of his or her claim and shall remit the balance of the deposit to the tenant within 30 days after the date of the
notice of intention to impose a claim for damages.

(c) If either party institutes an action in a court of competent jurisdiction to adjudicate the party's right to the
security deposit, the prevailing party is entitled to receive his or her court costs plus a reasonable fee for his
or her attorney. The court shall advance the cause on the calendar.

(d) Compliance with this section by an individual or business entity authorized to conduct business in this
state, including Florida-licensed real estate brokers and sales associates, shall constitute compliance with all
other relevant Florida Statutes pertaining to security deposits held pursuant to a rental agreement or other
landlord-tenant relationship. Enforcement personnel shall look solely to this section to determine
compliance. This section prevails over any conflicting provisions in chapter 475 and in other sections of the
Florida Statutes, and shall operate to permit licensed real estate brokers to disburse security deposits and
deposit money without having to comply with the notice and settlement procedures contained in s. 475.25(1)
(d).
