Resident shall annually furnish to the Owner, at no cost to the Owner, a certificate or other evidence indicating that such insurance is in effect and providing that the Owner shall be notified in writing at least thirty (30) days before the cancellation of, any material changes in, or renewal of such policies. Resident agrees to have the Owner listed as an additional insured on the insurance policy. Please consult your insurance professional to make sure your policy covers your personal property against fire, water damage, burglary, vandalism, as well as includes personal liability coverage. ***Please note that effective October 1, 2019, State Farm Renter’s Insurance will no longer be accepted as valid coverage.

MOVE IN GUIDELINES MOVE-IN INSPECTION FORM You will be given an Inventory Checklist at your lease signing. You should use this form to note any damages to the interior of your rental home and garage. You do not need to note "normal wear and tear" items such as a small scratch on the side of cabinet or minor markings on the wallboard, floor, or appliances. It is necessary that you complete and return this Inventory Checklist within 7 days after you move into your rental home. Failure to return the checklist within seven (7) days will constitute agreement by Resident that the condition was satisfactory and no damages existed at the time of move-in. The Move-In Inventory Checklist will be utilized during the move-out inspection process to avoid charging you for pre-existing conditions and to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings. Therefore, please make sure this form is completed with detail and accuracy. KEYS/REMOTE On your move in day you will be given two (2) apartments, one (1) mailbox and one (1) amenity access FOB. In the event that your lease includes a garage, you will receive two (2) garage keys along with one (1) remote for the garage door. Please leave an extra set of keys with a relative, friend or trusted neighbor as an extra precaution in case you lose your keys or lock yourself out. If you lose a key, please contact the office for a replacement. The charge to replace a key is $10.00; the charge to replace a remote is $50.00; the charge to replace an access FOB is $50.00. DURING RESIDENCY EMERGENCY MAINTENANCE SERVICE If you are a Resident and have an emergency situation during business hours, please call (616) 842- 8800 and a member of our staff will assist you by paging the on-call service technician. If the emergency occurs after office hours, please call (616) 215-8606 An emergency is defined as an event that takes place in or about your rental home that may result in harm to you, your home, another person, or the building. Examples of an emergency are: • No heat • No hot water • A plumbing leak or overflowing toilet • A natural gas odor • A carbon monoxide detector indicating unsafe level of carbon monoxide in the home • A fire or criminal activity in the community (ALWAYS CALL 911 FIRST) REGULAR MAINTENANCE SERVICE You may request service by calling the office at (616) 842-8800 or you may e-mail a non-emergency request at [email protected]. Service requests can also be submitted through the Resident Portal on the property website at www.woodlandridgeliving.com. Non-emergency maintenance requests are normally completed within two (2) business days. LOCK-OUT POLICY If you misplace, lose, or leave your keys elsewhere and need access to your home during business hours, please call or come to the office for assistance. If it is after office hours, please contact a local locksmith for assistance. No person (including relatives and other Residents) will be given access to a rental home unless they are the lease holder or occupant in the premises. We must have written permission on file from the Resident if he or she chooses to allow others to have access to their rental home when they are not present. MANAGEMENT SERVICES OFFICE SERVICES As a resident of Woodland Ridge you may also take advantage of any one of our FREE office services. We allow use of the fax and copy machine. RESIDENT ACTIVITIES Management coordinates a variety of resident activities throughout the year. Residents are encouraged to participate. Residents are also invited to coordinate their own resident events with approval from Management. COMMUNITY AMENITIES All of the community amenities are available to Residents only. Up to two guests are allowed in the presence of the adult Resident to use the amenities. GENERAL APARTMENT MAINTENANCE AND CARE ENTRANCES, HALLWAYS, AND MECHANICAL ROOMS In compliance with the State and Local Fire Codes, bicycles, wagons, carts, or any other items are not to be left at the entrances or in the hallways at any time. Likewise, nothing should be stored in the mechanical rooms that contain the furnace and/or hot water heater. Management asks that all residents give complete cooperation with this regulation. Failure to do so could result in needless damage or personal injury. Please secure permission from the Rental Office prior to posting flyers, notices, etc., in any location. DECORATING YOUR APARTMENT We encourage you to personalize your home. You may paint your apartment home walls. Residents are not, however, permitted to paint ceilings, trim, doors, carpet and vinyl. Apartments must be primed to white prior to vacating to avoid additional maintenance charges after vacating. (We recommend Kilz primer). The following guidelines will assist you in personalizing your home: • Do not use adhesive wall hangers. They are difficult to remove without leaving a mark on the wall and/or damaging the wallboard itself • Mirrors, cork tiles, contact paper, etc...with an adhesive backing should not be applied to the walls, interior cabinets, floors, or bathtubs • Easy to remove border paper may be applied in the kitchen and bath areas • Small nails and picture hooks may be used to hang pictures and other decorations. • No holes should be bored into the foundation or exterior walls, windows, doors and cabinets to install hooks, shelves or wire. CARPET CARE The care and maintenance of the carpeting in your rental home is your responsibility. The carpet should be vacuumed frequently. When choosing a carpet cleaning method, we recommend that you contact the office for the name and telephone number of an approved carpet cleaning contractor. Soap residue can cause rapid re-soiling or may damage the fabric. We recommend that you do not use over-the-counter stain removal products. Many carpet cleaning products contain brightening agents that can discolor the fibers in the carpet. Please contact the office for information about products that are safe on the carpet in your apartment for spot removal. When cleaning up and removing a substance on the carpet, remember to blot the area. NEVER RUB the area. Rubbing can destroy the fibers causing permanent damage to the carpet. The following are some quick clean-up tips when an accidental spill occurs: 1. Coffee, tea and food spots: Remove by using cold water and a mild soap. If stain remains, use a color-safe bleach. Rinse well. 2. Non-carbonated drink stains (such as Kool-Aid): Repeat soaking and drying the area with Club Soda may remove the stain. Apply a liquid detergent or color safe bleach if necessary. Rinse well. 3. Animal Stains: Sponge freely with cold water. Apply solution of three (3) tablespoons white vinegar to one (1) quart of water. Sponge with detergent suds and rinse. 4. Urine: Must be treated before spot dries to be successfully removed. Sponge repeatedly with cool water. Work a liquid detergent into stain and rinse thoroughly. If still discolored, sponge with white vinegar and let stand 15 minutes before rinsing or cover with table salt and leave overnight. 5. Vomit: Sponge in solution of cup salt to a quart of lukewarm water. Wash with detergent suds. Rinse well. 6. Paint: Sponge with thinner as recommended on can or with turpentine until paint disappears. Work full strength detergent into stain, then rinse well. Repeat if necessary. LOCKS Resident may not alter any lock or install a new lock or knocker on any door. Chain locks may be installed, but must remain as a permanent fixture and cannot be removed upon move-out. Please contact the leasing office if you require your locks to be replaced. LIGHT BULBS AND BATTERIES Working light bulbs and batteries are provided when you move-in. Replacement of the light bulbs and batteries in your smoke detectors and garage remote are your responsibility during your residency. Residents are responsible for the replacement of light bulbs inside the rental home, on their porches, patios/decks and in the kitchen appliances. Light bulbs in hard to reach areas, such as in fixtures on the kitchen ceiling and hallway(s) should not be replaced by the Resident. A service request may be made to replace bulbs in these areas. KITCHEN AND BATHROOM VINYL FLOORS The vinyl floors in your home need to be cleaned regularly. Dirt can easily become ground into the vinyl giving the floor a dull appearance. ******************************************CAUTION****************************************** THE MANUFACTURER OF THE NO WAX VINYL FLOORING IN YOUR HOME RECOMMENDS THAT RUBBER BACKED FLOOR MATS NOT BE USED ON THE FLOOR. These types of floor mats have been known to discolor the vinyl floor. Spills from food substances, cleaning products, etc., must be wiped up immediately. Spills that are not cleaned up right away will set into and stain the flooring. You will be responsible for the replacement of any stained or discolored floor whether it was caused by negligent care or accident. TOILETS The sewer system is designed to handle all normal drainage and human waste. The water saving toilets should be flushed between discarding handfuls of paper to prevent a blockage. To avoid being charged for removal of a blockage, we recommend that you use a toilet plunger and attempt to clear the blockage yourself before requesting service. PLUMBING LEAKS - BURST WATER PIPES Each fixture supplied with water has an individual shut-off valve. If you discover a water leak or a pipe bursts, please turn off the valve (rotate clockwise) and notify Maintenance immediately. PIPE FREEZE If you plan to be away from your apartment home for any length of time during the cold season, remember to leave the heat on in your apartment. The thermostat should not be set below 65°F. Failure to do so may result in damages for which you would be held responsible. ELECTRICITY Please familiarize yourself with the location of the circuit breaker box in your home. This box is located in the hallway of your apartment home. If the lights go out or an appliance suddenly stops working, check the circuit breaker box. A tripped breaker must be tripped to the OFF position. Move breaker back to the ON - RESET position to restore power. STORAGE Fire codes prohibit the storage of kerosene, gasoline, or any other flammable or explosive agents inside your rental home. FOOD DISPOSAL When disposing of food through the disposal, run the cold water at the same time. Most often a blockage occurs when large volumes of vegetable peelings, scraps, etc. are disposed of too rapidly. Be sure to dispose food slowly and carefully. If your disposal becomes jammed, you may be able to reset it by depressing the reset button on the underside of the unit. Repairs made because of accidental or negligent use will be charged to the Resident. REFRIGERATOR It is very important to clean the condenser portion of your refrigerator bi-annually. Please follow the care and cleaning instructions recommended by the manufacturer. If condenser coils are not cleaned regularly, the refrigerator may disburse soot residue in the air causing damages to walls, flooring, and furnishings. CANDLES Please be advised that excessive burning of candles may cause soot residue to develop on the wallboard, blinds, windows sills and carpet along the baseboards and furnishings. We have found that this residue does not clean off easily and you could be responsible for the repair or replacement if damage results from the soot residue. PEST CONTROL Upon request, we provide pest control service to all residents. Please contact the office if you have a specific problem. WATERBEDS Waterbeds or other liquid filled furniture are permitted in this Community. A copy of your current Renter's insurance policy must be provided to the Rental Office prior to installation of such furniture. This policy must cover the community for any damage caused by ruptures or leaks of the furniture.

At the time of notice, an early Lease termination, based on the chart below, is due, as well as reimbursement of any rent concession that was received based on the term of the lease. Rent Ranges Term/Buy Out Fee 500-700 900 701-900 1200 901-1100 1500 1101-1300 1800 1301-1600 2000 1601-2000 2500 2001-2500 3000 DISTURBANCES Social and friendly gatherings of Resident and their guests are welcomed and encouraged, provided that such gatherings do not become boisterous, or generally objectionable to other Residents. Noticeable drunkenness will not be tolerated. Residents are entirely responsible for the conduct of their guests in the rental home or on the premises of the community. Stereos, radios and televisions are to be kept at minimum levels so that neighbors are not disturbed. Nothing should be done in or about the building which will interfere with the rights of peaceful occupancy of other Residents. MOVE-OUT GUIDELINES If and when your plans require you to move, you must notify us of your intent to vacate in writing at least sixty days prior to your lease expiration date or intended move-out date. After you notify us, please be sure to do the following: Contact all utility companies and notify them of your move-out date and terminate service in your name. Notify the post office of your forwarding address. Return all keys and garage remote(s) to the Leasing Office. If you are dropping keys and/or a garage remote in the overnight drop, please make sure you label the keys or remote with your address. Be sure to close all window blinds on the main floor, lock the passage knob and close the front door before you leave your home. VACATING INSTRUCTIONS In order to insure the full return of your security deposit, you should leave your home in the condition you found it to be in (less normal wear and tear) when you moved in. If an item in the home does get damaged, you will only be responsible for the actual cost of labor and materials to repair or replace the item. If your apartment home is not pre-leased, we will also give you the option to make the repair or replacement yourself provided that you can repair or replace the item within 48 hours after you vacate. All repairs and/or replacements must be made in a proficient manner with material of the same quality, color and nature. Remove all personal property and refuse from the garage, closets, and storage areas. A charge of $25.00 will be assessed for each bag of trash or unwanted items left in the apartment. A greater charge may be assessed for removal of larger items. Light bulbs including those in your garage and appliances should be left in working order. Upon moving out, vacuum the carpet. It is best not to try and remove carpet stains yourself. Permanent damage to the fibers and color most often occurs as a result of someone "trying" to remove a stain. Many over the counter stain remover products contain brighteners that lighten the color of the carpet and can cause a larger and lighter stain. You will not be charged for stains that are removed during the normal steam cleaning process. Stubborn stains ranging in colors of purple, orange, red, blue, and yellow do not remove easily. Our carpet cleaning contractor will attempt to treat stubborn stains first. If the stain cannot be removed, dying or patching will be considered as an alternative option and such repairs will be charged to you. Patches cannot be made in traffic areas. If a stain is large or there are several stains that cannot be removed, the carpeting on the entire floor will be replaced. You will be charged a depreciated value for the carpeting that is replaced. FORWARDING ADDRESS You must notify your landlord in writing within four (4) days after you move of a forwarding address where you can be reached and where you will receive mail; otherwise your landlord shall be relieved of sending you an itemized list of damages and the penalties adherent to that failure.
