Yard and Exterior Upkeep To the extent the Premises include exclusive-use outdoor areas, Tenant shall maintain such areas in a neat, safe, and well-maintained condition, including routine lawn care (mowing, watering, trimming), removal of debris, and prevention of overgrowth. This obligation excludes structural repairs, irrigation system repairs, or replacement of landscaping, which remain Landlord's responsibility except as permitted by law. 3. Cleanliness and Pest Prevention Tenant shall maintain the Premises in a manner that does not create conditions conducive to infestation. Tenant shall be responsible for pest control costs to the extent any infestation is caused by Tenant's failure to comply with Civil Code 1941.2. 4. Safety and Notice of Conditions Tenant shall maintain the Premises in a manner that does not create unreasonable safety hazards and shall promptly notify Landlord of any condition requiring repair that may affect health or safety. Nothing herein relieves Landlord of obligations under Civil Code 1941.1 or applicable habitability laws. 5.

Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable and actual cost thereof, which may be treated as additional rent to the extent allowed by law. (c) Recurring Services: If Tenant repeatedly fails to maintain the yard, cleanliness, or other obligations after written notice, Landlord may, upon additional written notice, arrange for ongoing maintenance or cleaning services, and Tenant shall be responsible for the reasonable cost as additional rent, to the extent permitted by law. (d) Utilities Default: Failure to maintain required utility service due to nonpayment may be deemed a breach affecting habitability and shall constitute grounds for notice to perform or quit, subject to applicable law. (e) No Waiver of Habitability: Enforcement of Tenant's obligations under this section shall not waive or diminish Landlord's non-delegable duty to maintain the Premises in a habitable condition under California Civil Code 1941.1, nor permit Landlord to recover costs that are the Landlord's legal responsibility. 7.
