6. LATE FEES AND INSUFFICIENT FUNDS: If rent is paid after the of the month, there will be a

late charge of $ assessed. This late charge does not establish a grace period. The parties agree that this
late fee is presumed to be the amount of damage resulting from the late payment of rent. It would be impracticable or
extremely difficult to fix the actual damage. This sum represents a reasonable endeavor by the Owner/Agent to estimate fair
average compensation for any loss that may be sustained as a result of late payment of rent. Failure to pay the fee is a
material breach of this Agreement. Pursuant to California law, if Resident passes a check on insufficient funds, Resident will

be liable to Owner/Agent for the amount of the check and a service charge of $ , not to exceed $25 for
the first check passed on insufficient funds, and $35 for each subsequent check passed on insufficient funds.

notwithstanding any dates or other direction from Resident that accompanies any such payment. Any attempt by Resident to
allocate a payment in any other way shall be null and void, including the use or application of a restrictive endorsement or
limitation on any check or other payment. In the event of roommates, or another form of multiple occupancy, Resident
understands and agrees that rent shall be paid with a single payment and that it is up to Resident to collect individual checks
or other payments in order to submit a single rent payment. If payment by mail is allowed, Resident bears the risk of loss or
delay of any payment made by mail and Owner/Agent must receive mailed rent payments on or before the due date, except
as otherwise provided by law. In absence of prior written agreement, Owner/Agent will accept rent payments only from the
Resident. Rent tendered by a Non-Resident shall be deemed rent tendered on behalf of Resident only and not on behalf of
the Non-Resident. Should the Owner/Agent elect to accept a payment that does not comply with this paragraph, this shall not
be construed as a waiver of this provision. If Resident pays online or by direct deposit, such payment shall be deemed to
come from Resident regardless of the source of the payment. Payment online or by direct deposit may be rejected or returned
by Owner/Agent during the pendency of any legal action, or in anticipation of legal action. Failure or refusal by Resident to
cash Owner/Agent’s rent refund check shall not defeat Owner/Agent’s rejection of the rent being refunded.

8. CHANGE TO PAYMENT METHOD. The Owner/Agent may refuse certain payment methods listed in the paragraph entitled
“RENT,” above, as the form of payment to cure a Three-Day Notice to Pay Rent or Quit, Three-Day Notice to Perform
Conditions and/or Covenants or Quit, a check passed on insufficient funds or dishonored for any other reason, or a stopped
payment and may refuse certain methods for future rent payments thereafter. Notwithstanding the provisions above, the
Owner/Agent may demand or require cash as the exclusive form of payment of rent or security deposit if the Resident has
previously attempted to pay the Owner/Agent with a check drawn on insufficient funds or the Resident has stopped payment
on a check, draft, or money order. If the Owner/Agent chooses to demand or require cash payment under these
circumstances, the Owner/Agent shall give the Resident a written notice stating that the payment instrument was dishonored
and informing the Resident that the Resident shall pay in cash for a period determined by Owner/Agent, not to exceed three
months, and attach a copy of the dishonored instrument to the notice.

It is our goal to maintain the highest quality living environment for our Residents. The Owner/Agent has inspected the unit prior to
lease and knows of no bedbug infestation. Residents have an important role in preventing and controlling bed bugs. While the
presence of bed bugs is not always related to personal cleanliness or housekeeping, good housekeeping can assist with early
detection and make bed bug control easier if it is necessary.

1. Previous Infestations
• A Resident shall not bring onto a property personal furnishings or belongings that the Resident knows or should
reasonably know are infested with bed bugs, including the personal property of the Resident’s guests.

2. Prompt Reporting
• If you find or suspect a bed bug infestation, please notify Owner/Agent as soon as possible, and describe any
signs of infestation, so that the problem can be addressed promptly. Please do not wait. Even a few bugs can rapidly
multiply to create a major infestation that can spread from unit to unit.

• Report any maintenance needs immediately. Bed bugs like cracks, crevices, holes, and other openings. Request that
all openings be sealed to prevent the movement of bed bugs from room to room.

• If you suspect a bedbug infestation, or have other maintenance needs, please provide your notice to:

3. Information about Bed Bugs

• Bed bug Appearance: Bed bugs have six legs. Adult bed bugs have flat bodies about 1/4 of an inch in length. Their
color can vary from red and brown to copper colored. Young bed bugs are very small. Their bodies are about 1/16 of an
inch in length. They have almost no color. When a bed bug feeds, its body swells, may lengthen, and becomes bright
red, sometimes making it appear to be a different insect. Bed bugs do not fly. They can either crawl or be carried from
place to place on objects, people, or animals. Bed bugs can be hard to find and identify because they are tiny and try to
stay hidden.

• Life Cycle and Reproduction: An average bed bug lives for about 10 months. Female bed bugs lay one to five eggs per
day. Bed bugs grow to full adulthood in about 21 days.

• Bed bugs can survive for months without feeding.

• Bed bug Bites: Because bed bugs usually feed at night, most people are bitten in their sleep and do not realize they were
bitten. A person’s reaction to insect bites is an immune response and so varies from person to person. Sometimes the
red welts caused by the bites will not be noticed until many days after a person was bitten, if at all.

• Common signs and symptoms of a possible bed bug infestation:

➢ Small red to reddish brown fecal spots on mattresses, box springs, bed frames, linens, upholstery, or walls.
➢ Molted bed bug skins, white, sticky eggs, or empty eggshells.
➢ Very heavily infested areas may have a characteristically sweet odor.
➢ Red, itchy bite marks, especially on the legs, arms, and other body parts exposed while sleeping. However, some
people do not show bed bug lesions on their bodies even though bed bugs may have fed on them.

4. Cooperation with Pest Control

• Residents shall cooperate with the inspection including allowing entry to inspect any unit selected by the pest control
operator until bed bugs have been eliminated and providing to the pest control operator information that is necessary to
facilitate the detection and treatment of bed bugs

• Prior to treatment, affected Residents will receive a written notice including the date(s) and time(s) of treatment, whether
and when the Resident is required to be absent from the unit, the deadline for Resident preparation of the unit and a
pretreatment checklist with information provided by the pest control operator.

• The Resident shall fulfill his or her responsibilities for unit preparation before the scheduled treatment, as described in the
pest control operator’s pretreatment checklist.

• Residents shall be responsible for the management of their belongings, including, but not limited to, clothing and personal
furnishings.

• If the pest control operator determines that it is necessary for an Owner/Agent or Resident to dispose of items infested
with bed bugs, the items shall be securely sealed in a bag that are of a size as to readily contain the disposed material.
Bags shall be furnished as needed to Residents by the property owner or pest control operator. All bags shall be clearly
labeled as being infested with bed bugs prior to disposal.

• Residents who are not able to fulfill their unit preparation responsibilities shall notify the Owner/Agent at least one
business day prior to the scheduled PCO visit for inspection or treatment.

• A Resident must vacate his or her unit if required by the pest control operator for treatment purposes and shall not reenter
the unit until directed by the pest control operator to do so.

5. Prevention Recommendations
• Resident should check for hitch-hiking bedbugs. If you stay in a hotel or another home, inspect your clothing, luggage,
shoes, and belongings for signs of bed bugs before you enter your apartment. Check backpacks, shoes, and clothing after
visits to friends or family, theaters, or after using public transportation.

• Thoroughly clean after guests have departed. Immediately after your guests leave, seal bed linens in plastic bags, until
they can be washed and dried on high heat. After your guests have departed, inspect bedding, mattresses and box
springs, behind headboards, carpet edges and the undersides of sofa cushions for signs of bed bugs.

• Resident should avoid using appliances, electronics and furnishings that have not been thoroughly inspected for
the presence of bedbugs. Make sure that the electronics, appliance, or furniture company has established procedures
for the inspection and identification of bedbugs or other pests. This process should include inspection of trucks used to
transport appliances, electronics, or furniture. Never accept an item that shows signs of bedbugs. Check secondhand
furniture, beds, and couches for any signs of bed bug infestation before bringing them home. Never take discarded
items from the curbside.
 • Use a protective cover that encases mattresses and box springs and eliminates many hiding spots. Page
The light color of the encasement makes bed bugs easier to see. Be sure to purchase a high quality of Agreement
bed bug encasement that will resist tearing and check the encasements regularly for holes.

• Reduce clutter in your home to reduce hiding places for bed bugs.
• Vacuum frequently to remove successful hitchhikers.

• Be vigilant when using shared laundry facilities. Transport items to be washed in plastic bags (if you have an active
infestation, use a new bag for the journey home). Remove from dryer directly into bag and fold at home. (A dryer on high
heat can kill bed bugs.)
