Article 1794, all persons signing as Tenant are bound in solido (solidarily, jointly and severally) for all obligations, covenants, and responsibilities under this Lease. Landlord may demand performance of the entire obligation from any one of the Tenants. 2. RENT, DEPOSITS & INDEPENDENT COVENANT Monthly Rent: $_________________, payable in advance on or before the first day of each calendar month (LA C.C. Article 2710).

Pursuant to LA R.S. 9:3251, the remaining balance of these deposits will be returned within one (1) month of lease termination and tenant move-out, accompanied by an itemized list of any deductions for damages beyond normal wear and tear. Abandonment Exception: In accordance with LA R.S. 9:3251(A), the landlord's statutory obligation to return the deposit or provide an itemized statement within one month does not apply if Tenant abandons the premises before the lease terminates. Independent Covenant: In accordance with LA C.C. Article 2683(1), the Tenant's principal obligation is to pay the rent in accordance with the agreed terms. This duty is an independent covenant; rent must be paid in full without offset, deduction, or delay. 3. LANDLORD ACCESS & PROPERTY PRESERVATION Entry: In accordance with the Landlord's principal obligation to maintain the property under LA C.C. Article 2682, the Landlord or their authorized agents reserve the right to enter the premises with 24 hours' notice for non-emergencies (inspections, repairs, showings) or immediately without notice in the event of an emergency. Non-Interference: Any act by Tenant to deny lawful access, change entry codes without authorization, or interfere with required maintenance constitutes a failure to act as a prudent administrator (LA C.C. Article 2683) and is grounds for immediate termination of the lease. 4. PET COVENANTS AND WASTE REMOVAL Waste Removal: Pursuant to the Tenant's obligation to use the thing as a prudent administrator (LA C.C. Article 2683(2)), Tenant is strictly responsible for the immediate cleanup and sanitary disposal of all animal waste. This mandate applies to both the interior of the home and the entirety of the exterior property and grounds. Failure to comply after a single written warning constitutes a material breach and an unauthorized alteration of the property's cleanliness. 5. PROPERTY MAINTENANCE & ANTI-HOARDING Hoarding Prohibited: Tenant shall maintain the property in a clean, sanitary, and safe condition. Pursuant to LA C.C. Article 2683, Tenant shall not accumulate excess personal property, garbage, or debris to the extent that it creates a fire hazard, blocks emergency egress, blocks windows, or exceeds structural weight limits.

During periods of freezing temperatures, Tenant agrees to open sink cabinets to expose pipes and allow faucets to maintain a slow, steady drip. Liability: Any property damage resulting from frozen pipes due to Tenant neglect, utility shutoff, or misuse is a violation of the duty of prudent administration under LA C.C. Article 2683, and the resulting repair costs are the sole financial responsibility of the Tenant. 7. MOISTURE CONTROL & SURFACE CARE Reporting: Pursuant to LA C.C. Article 2688, Tenant is strictly bound to notify the Landlord without delay when the property has been damaged or requires repair. Tenant must report any visible moisture accumulation, plumbing leaks, roof leaks, or standing water to the Landlord within 24 hours of discovery. 8. REPAIRS AND TENANT OBLIGATIONS Pursuant to LA C.C. Article 2688, the Landlord is entitled to recovery for any damages sustained as a result of the Tenant's failure to notify them of needed repairs. Any damage to the premises, plumbing, electrical systems, or appliances resulting from Tenant neglect, misuse, or failure to timely report issues is the sole financial responsibility of the Tenant. Landlord reserves the right, acting reasonably, to determine when damage is caused by Tenant neglect versus normal wear and tear (LA C.C. Article 2710). 9. GUEST LIMITATIONS & OCCUPANCY Guest Policy: The premises shall be occupied exclusively by the named Tenants. Using the premises for unauthorized occupants violates the intended purpose of the lease under LA C.C. Article 2683(2). Guests may stay on the property no more than seven (7) consecutive days, or a total of fourteen (14) days in any given six-month period, without the express written consent of the Landlord. Subletting Prohibited: Pursuant to LA C.C. Article 2713, the Tenant's right to sublease or assign this lease is entirely structural and explicitly forbidden. Any unauthorized short-term rental listing (e.g., Airbnb, VRBO) or sublet constitutes an immediate material default. 10. SUBSTANTIAL NON-COMPLIANCE & TERMINATION Pursuant to LA C.C. Article 2719 and LA C.C. Article 2724, the Landlord may terminate this lease upon a material breach of its conditions. Grounds for immediate lease termination and delivery of a Notice to Vacate include, but are not limited to: Safety & Security: Any physical threats, violence, or dangerous behavior directed toward Landlords, property managers, neighbors, or other residents. Access Control: Unauthorized changing or altering of locks, preventing Landlord access (See Section 15). Compliance with Law: Any illegal drug activity, or any act on or around the premises that violates local, state, or federal law.

Article 4701, Tenant hereby expressly waives the traditional five (5) day Notice to Vacate otherwise required for breach of lease or non-payment of rent. If Tenant fails to pay rent or violates lease terms, Landlord may immediately institute summary eviction proceedings. 11. INDEMNIFICATION & LIABILITY PROTECTIONS Hold Harmless: To the extent permitted by Louisiana law, Tenant agrees to protect, indemnify, and hold Landlord harmless from any and all claims, liabilities, damages, or costs arising from Tenant's use of the premises, or from the conduct, actions, or negligence of the Tenant, their guests, invitees, or animals. 12.

Assumption of Risk: Tenant assumes all natural risks associated with the local terrain, local wildlife, and outdoor property elements. 15. SECURITY AND KEY CONTROL Locks: Tenant shall not add, alter, or re-key any locking mechanisms, nor install electronic, "smart" locks, or hardware-altering security cameras without the express written permission of the Landlord. Doing so violates the obligation to return the thing in the same condition it was delivered (LA C.C. Article 2683(3)). Access Rights: Landlord must possess a functional key and access code to all entryways at all times. Substantial Default: Any unauthorized alteration of lock hardware or access blocking is deemed a substantial default of this lease, directly interfering with the Landlord's right to maintain the property (LA C.C. Article 2682), and provides grounds for immediate eviction proceedings. 16. STRICT NO-SMOKING POLICY Prohibition: Smoking, vaping, or burning of any kind including but not limited to commercial tobacco, cigarettes, cigars, pipes, electronic cigarettes, vaporizers, and cannabis/marijuana is strictly prohibited anywhere inside the interior of the premises. Remediation Costs: If any evidence of smoking is found inside the property during the lease or upon move-out, Tenant shall be legally liable for the full cost of smoke remediation, deodorizing, wall washing, duct cleaning, and fabric treatments. This cost will be treated as physical property damage and deducted directly from the Security Deposit. 17. NO PAINTING OR ALTERATIONS Prohibition: Pursuant to LA C.C. Article 2690, the Tenant may not make any alterations, additions, or structural changes to the premises without the prior written consent of the Landlord. This explicitly includes a strict ban on painting, wallpapering, or applying adhesive wall coverings to any interior or exterior surfaces. Remediation: If the Tenant paints or alters any surface without written consent, Tenant will be held financially responsible for the total cost required to professionally restore the property to its exact original color and state. 18. NON-WAIVER OF RIGHTS The failure of the Landlord to strictly enforce or insist upon prompt performance of any of the terms, conditions, or covenants of this lease at any given time shall not be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of Landlord's legal rights or remedies. Landlord's acceptance of full or partial rent with knowledge of any breach by Tenant does not constitute a waiver of that breach or alter Landlord's right to enforce the lease strictly in the future.
