11. THE LANDLORD'S ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: (a) The Landlord agrees to remain solely responsible for the care and
maintenance of the Property, whether the Property is occupied or vacant; (b) The Landlord warrants that the Landlord will, during
the term of this Agreement, maintain homeowner's insurance on the Property and that such insurance on the Property will protect

that, in connection with any showing of the Property to prospective Tenants, the Landlord shall take whatever action that the

12. FAIR HOUSING: Landlord and Coldwell Banker shall comply with all provisions of the Federal and State Fair Housing Laws.
In accordance with the Federal and State Fair Housing Laws, the Property will be shown and made available to all persons without
regard to race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, sex, age, sexual orientation, marital status, veteran status, disability, age,
receipt of public assistance and/or other protected class(es) that may be applicable from time to time, and without regard to whether
a prospective Tenant does or does not have children.
13. CREDIT REPORT: In order to assist Landlord in connection with Landlord's determination of the suitability of prospective
Tenants, Coldwell Banker will obtain a completed Rental Application from prospective Tenants and will order a Credit Report on
prospective Tenants. However, because of privacy, confidentiality and security restrictions relating to the use of Credit Reports
under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, Coldwell Banker is contractually prohibited by its agreement(s) with the Credit Reporting
Agency/ies from providing anyone, including the Landlord, with a hard copy of any prospective Tenant's Credit Report and may
only allow the Landlord to physically view a copy of such Tenant's Credit Report without Landlord receiving a copy. Generally
speaking, Credit Reporting Agencies will assign a Tenant Credit Score which may range from below 500 to over 800. While Credit
Scores are no guaranty of future performance by a Tenant, they are generally utilized to provide some indication as to the
probability that a Tenant will perform his/her/their obligations under a Lease. Based upon information obtained from the Credit
Reporting Agencies, a Tenant Score above 680 is assumed to present a low risk; a Tenant Score between 620 and 679 is assumed to
present a moderate risk; and, a Tenant Score below 620 is assumed to present a higher risk.
14. PERFORMANCE: By entering into a Lease or Rental Agreement, Landlord thereby releases Coldwell Banker from any further
responsibility, including but not limited to, specific performance by a Tenant. Coldwell Banker makes no representations or
warranties regarding a prospective Tenant's qualifications and/or ability to perform.
15. RENTAL APPLICATIONS: Coldwell Banker's obligation to seek rental applications shall terminate when the Landlord executes
a Lease.
