LEASE AGREEMENT
THIS LEASE AGREEMENT is made at Cincinnati, Ohio as of the date specified in the Lease Terms section,
by and between Uptown Rental Properties, LLC ("we" or "us"), as the agent for the owner(s) of the
property described at the end of this Lease (the "Property"), and the individual(s) identified at the end of
this Lease as the resident(s) of the Property ("you").
ADDRESS
1. Term. In consideration of the provisions of this Lease, we lease to you the Property for the term and with
the commencement date set forth at the end of this Lease. If there is more than one resident signing this
Lease, you will each be jointly and severally responsible for all obligations under this Lease.
If we are able to give you possession of the Property before the first day of the term of this Lease, you
shall pay rent equal to one-thirtieth (1/30th) of a monthly installment, multiplied by the number of days to
the first day of the term.
If we cannot have the Property available to you by the first day of the term of this Lease for any reason,
we are not liable to you for damages, however, prorated rent is not due until the Property is available to
you. Failure of the lessees to take possession of the premises does not relieve them of their obligations
under this Lease.
2. Rent. You agree to pay to us as rent for each month of the term, the amount described at the end of this
Lease, payable in advance on the first day of each month of the term, without any deductions for any reason
other than as we may agree in writing.
If the rent is not paid in full for whatever reason on or before the third (3rd) day of any month, or if
payment is returned as a result of insufficient funds or other reason, you agree to pay us, in addition to the
rent, a Late Payment Charge or Returned Check Charge, as set forth at the end of this Lease. Our
acceptance of partial rent shall not be a waiver of any rights of ours as a result of your default or our right
to collect this late payment charge. We have no obligation to accept rent late or in any amount less than
the full amount provided in this Lease.
3. Security Deposit. You are depositing with us the amount described at the end of this Lease as a security
deposit which is security for the faithful performance of this Lease. The security deposit shall serve as a fund
from which we may reimburse ourselves to compensate for unpaid rent or fees, unreasonable wear and tear
on your part, cleaning the apartment, key or lock replacement if you fail to return keys in your possession,
and/or any other amounts due and owing, or which may become due and owing after the end of the term or
under other sections of this Lease. The security deposit may not be used as rent. Carpets must be
professionally cleaned and a receipt presented upon move out. If you prefer that we have it done, the charge
will be deducted from your security deposit. A written accounting of any charges against the deposit, along
with any refund due, will be split evenly amongst all lessees and sent within 30 days of move out, via US Mail,
to the forwarding address provided by you. If a forwarding address is not provided, the security deposit refund
will be mailed to the address on this Lease, to be forwarded by the US Postal Service. If for any reason the
refund check is not received, a $40 stop payment charge will be deducted from the reissued security deposit
check. Any balance due shall be paid promptly. In the event of failure to pay as agreed herein, the landlord, at
his sole discretion, may report the same to such credit reporting agencies as he deems appropriate. We
reserve the right to add two (2%) to any balance owed after move out to recover collection costs.
A minimum thirty (30) days written notice must be given by us or by you, prior to the end of the term of this
agreement, to terminate the lease without penalty. In the event that you fail to give us a minimum thirty (30)
days written notice from the first of the month that you will be vacating the Property, the Security Deposit will
be applied to liquidated damages incurred due the thirty (30) day notice requirement. The lease term must
end on the last day of the month.
Resident Initials:
4. Termination. If you vacate the Property prior to the end of the term, or do not take possession of the unit,

Property, shampooing the carpet and advertising costs relating to the reletting of the Property), the full
monthly installment of rent payable for the last month during any part of which you occupied the Property,
and the rent for the remainder of the term, together with all utility costs, except for any rent or utility costs
we may recover by rerenting the Property.

surrender the Property to us in the same order and repair as at the commencement of this Lease, normal
wear and tear excepted. You agree to comply with all laws and ordinances, and insurance regulations. You

Lease.

and to cooperate with all activity in connection with the abatement thereof. This cooperation may include
but not be limited to, moving furniture, clothing, or other personal items and removing carpets or rugs.

any and all costs and damages arising out of such occurrence. This liability extends to all costs, expenses or

Lease.
You agree that you will use and occupy the Property as a dwelling for, and give keys for the Property to,
only those individuals who sign this Lease, but the fact that you may want to use it for more than those

infiltration, including but not limited to bedbug infiltration, whether the same originates in your apartment or

affect any other rights which we may have either in law or in equity as a result of default by you. Our failure
to require performance of any promise you make under this Lease at any time will not be deemed a waiver of
our right to require such performance thereafter.
