9       If the lease contains a provision for a utility impound account: a) the landlord will pay for all utility charges (except
10     telephone and cable TV) and charge those costs against the monthly utility impound payments made by the tenants.
11     At the end of the lease term, the account will be reconciled by comparing the actual costs of utilities paid by the
12     landlord on behalf of the tenants against the total utility impound payments made by the tenants (any overpayment or
12     underpayments will be adjusted in the final security deposit accounting), If after 2/3 of the lease term has expired is
13     appears that the utility impound payments will be deficient by more than 10% of the anticipated actual total utility
14     costs, the landlord may adjust the impound payments required in the lease and/or bill the tenant for any unusually
15     high use or cost of utilities.
17
18     Payments received from tenants shall first be applied to any outstanding billed or regularly collected charges, with the
19     remainder being applied to rent due.
20
21     All payments called for in the lease should be in the form of cash, or one check or money order from the tenants as a
22     group. If the rent, utilities, or other billed charges are paid by more than one check or money order, there will be an 
23     additional administrative charge of $15 for each check or money order over the first one. If there is an insufficient
24     funds check received from the tenants, the rent will be considered delinquent from the date that the rent check was
25     due, and a $20 returned check charge would be assessed per check.
26
27     Security deposits may not be used by tenants to pay any rental or other amount due during the lease term.
28
29     Tenants will be responsible to pay additional fees for extraordinary administrative activities and functions made on
30     behalf of the tenants or made necessary by a default of the terms of the lease by the tenant. Extraordinary
31     administrative activities would include, but are not limited to, preparing and executing sub-lease/assignment
32     documents, re-renting premises for tenants defaulting on a lease, and making copies of documents and records
33     relating to lease (other that those required to be provided by standard Wisconsin real estate statutes and
34     administrative requirements.) Items not considered extraordinary functions are the preparation of Wisconsin
35     Homestead tax forms, processing rental applications, and preparing original lease documents.
36    
37     CHECK-IN AND CHECK-OUT
38     
39     All tenants agree and designate _____________________________________ as the contact person for coordinating
40     move-in at the start of the lease. One key for each tenant will be given to the designated person and that person will
41     distribute the keys to the other tenants. Keys will not be issued unless all security deposit and first month's
42     rent is paid. During the check-out inspection, all keys issued to the tenants must be returned. If all keys are not
43     returned, there will be a $50 per lock charge to re-key.
44     
45     Due to the extremely short period of time between tenants, the possibility exists that the premises may not have been
46     cleaned. Should this occur, the landlord will have the premises cleaned within 3 days, or if the tenant prefers, the
47     tenant (acting as a "casual labor independent contractor") may clean the premises for an agreed upon price. After
48     the cleaning is done, the tenant shall be responsible for returning the premises  clean.
49
50     At the end of the lease term, tenant agrees to schedule in advance a check-out inspection with American Edge. This
51     inspection must be with the last person moving out, and everything must be out of the premises and all tenants
52     cleaning must be finished. There will be a $50 administrative fee charged if a check-out inspection is not scheduled
53     in advance. Tenants are required to provide a written forwarding address to American Edge.

58     condition at all times, normal wear and tear excepted. Normal wear and tear is defined to mean physical damage or

86     dwelling and on each floor level (except attic or storage area). State law further requires the occupant (tenant) to
87     maintain any smoke detector in the unit. Upon discovery that a smoke detector in the unit requires maintenance
88     (except new battery), occupant (tenant) agrees to immediately either provide any maintenance necessary to make
89     that smoke detector functional or provide owner (landlord) written notification of the required maintenance. Owner

91     detector functional. Tenants are responsible to keep operational batteries in smoke detectors at all times.
