3) 6)

and any addi3onal property that may later be added to this Agreement ("Property"), upon the terms
below. Manager is a licensed real estate Broker with License # 01523618. Par3es agree to the following:

Property Management Services and Term

operate, manage, direct, and supervise the Property for the period beginning START DATE and ending 90 days
later. Manager agrees to use due diligence in the performance of this Agreement. Manager may terminate this
Agreement with 30 days wriTen no3ce. AUer the ini3al 90 days, the Agreement will automa3cally renew each
month for the full month and Owner may terminate this Agreement with 30 days wriTen no3ce.

Adver:sing, Ren:ng, and Leasing


Manager is authorized to adver3se, ini3ate, sign, renew, modify, or cancel lease agreements and leases
for the Property, on behalf of the Owner. Tenant selec3on is at the sole discre3on of Manager. Manager will use
due diligence in the screening and selec3on of Tenants. Manager does not guarantee Tenant performance but
does have specific guarantees noted in the "Manager Assurances & Guarantees" sec3on. Manager will use
Manager’s then current standard lease form, a copy of which can be viewed upon request of Owner. It is
understood and agreed that this Property will be rented in accordance with all State and Federal Fair Housing
Laws. Tenant applica3ons and related reports are protected by the Fair Credit Repor3ng Act and will be retained
solely by Manager.

If Agreement is cancelled before a lease is signed during the marke3ng or leasing process, at no fault of
Manager, Owner to pay $450 early termina3on fee to help cover some of Manager's opera3onal expenses.

Enforcing Leases
Manager is authorized to serve no3ces to vacate to Tenants and to execute any ac3on or proceeding it
deems necessary to recover possession of leased Property, or to recover rent, charges, or other sums payable to
Owner. Manager may nego3ate or otherwise discon3nue any such ac3on or proceeding at Manager’s discre3on.
In exercising the authority granted by this Paragraph, any collec3on of fees, costs, and legal fees incurred by
Manager or Owner will be considered opera3ng expenses of the Property.

Repairs, Maintenance, and Ongoing Opera:on


Owner authorizes Manager to make and/or direct necessary repairs made to the Property that Manager
deems necessary or advisable for its proper opera3on and maintenance. Manager will obtain prior Owner
approval for any expense over $350 for any one item. Owner approval is not required, if in Manager’s opinion,

emergency expenditures are needed to protect people from injury or Property from damage, to avoid suspension
of services to Tenant required under lease or law, to maintain the Property in a habitable condi3on required by
Civil Code §1941 and §1941.1, or for monthly or recurring services.

Owner agrees to maintain the Property in a safe condi3on fit for human habita3on as required by Civil
Code §§1941 and 1941.1 and Health and Safety Code §17920.3 and §17920.10 and other applicable law. In

are over 10 years old, broken, or non-func3onal. Owner agrees that landscaping on all items greater than 6 feet
tall is an Owner expense with no excep3ons. Home warranty plans in Manager’s experience have been found to
be ineffec3ve, slow, and can lead to bad rela3ons with Tenants. Manager will not coordinate any work with any
home warranty companies. Manager is authorized to contract, hire, supervise, and/or discharge firms, aTorneys,
agents, employees, independent contractors, and persons, including u3li3es and banks, required for the efficient
opera3on and maintenance of the Property.

Manager Compensa:on

poten3ally having them cause injury by falling.

This is billed as a maintenance item for $75 a unit per visit.
