IN CONSIDERATION OF, the leasing rules and/or restrictions adopted by the New Allegheny Homeowners Association and/or and provided by the New Allegheny Homeowners Association Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions, By-Laws, and Rules and Regulations, which are hereby incorporated into the lease by and between
______________________ (Lessor) and ________________________ (Lessee/Tenant(s)) and shall include the following understandings and agreements of the parties to protect the New Allegheny
Homeowners Association from financial loss and or other potential harms:
1.   Both Lessor and Tenant agree to abide by the terms and covenants of the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, By-Laws, and Rules and Regulations of the New Allegheny Homeowners Association (hereinafter "Association Documents"), as recorded in the Recorder of Deeds Office of Allegheny County. Lessor hereby agrees to provide Tenant with such documents prior to the execution of the lease and/or or this Addendum. This provision in no way relieves the unit owners of their responsibilities under the Association Documents. Lessor and Tenant further acknowledge that there are specific rules and regulations pertaining to occupancy at the Homeowners Association. Both Lessors and Tenant acknowledge receipt of said rules and regulations for the New Allegheny Homeowners Association, as provided to Lessee by Lessor, and both Lessor and Tenant agree to abide by these rules and regulations and any future rules and regulations duly adopted by the Association Board of Directors.
2.   Any violation of the Association Documents which continue unabated for a period of ten (10) days after the Tenant receives written notice to abate, shall be deemed a default under this Lease Addendum. In such event, the Lessor may terminate the lease without liability and evict the Tenant in accordance with Pennsylvania Law. In addition, the Association Board is hereby authorized with specific power and authority to evict the Tenant in the event of an unabated breach of the Association Documents that exceeds ten (10) days from the notice of such breach. In the event that the Association Board, or its management agent, proceed to evict the Tenant, any and all costs incurred in conjunction with such eviction, including attorney fees and costs, shall be specifically assessed against the owner (Lessor).
3.   The provisions of the Association Documents shall apply to the unit leased hereunder and Lessee hereby agrees to assume all duties and responsibilities and be jointly and/or severally liable with the unit owner for all of the liabilities and for the performance of all obligations applicable to unit owners under the Uniform Planned Community Act, Association Documents, or otherwise whatsoever during the term of this lease. However, Lessor, in all events, shall retain and exercise any voting rights associated with the unit leased hereunder.
4.   It is hereby agreed that the New Allegheny Homeowners Association is hereby named a third party beneficiary in the subject lease. In the event that the unit owner of the subject unit (Lessor herein) does not pay the common charges and/or assessment (s) due, then the New Allegheny Homeowners Association, by and through its management agent, Acri Commercial Realty, Inc., shall have the authority to collect such delinquent sum(s) from the Tenant/Lessee herein, up to the amount of the rent payable by the Tenant. Any such payments made by the Tenant shall reduce, by the same amount, the Tenant's obligation to make monthly rental payments to Lessor. If the Tenant fails to comply with the demands by the Association Board and/or the management agent, to pay the delinquent charges owed by the Lessor, the Tenant shall be responsible to the Association for all late charges, fines, interest and cost of collection including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney fees and/or costs incurred.
5.   Lessor and tenant hereby acknowledge that any damage cause to the common elements of the New Allegheny Homeowners Association by the move-in -move-out of a Tenant shall be assessed the Lessor/unit owner.
6.   Lessee further agrees that he shall not sublet and/or assign this lease except with the prior approval and consent of the New Allegheny Homeowners Association Board of Directors, which approval and consent be unreasonably withheld.
7.   The lot owner will indemnify the Association against liability and loss for any breach or non-compliance by the Tenant with die Association Documents.
8.   If any of the provisions of this Lease Addendum and Agreement shall be held to be invalid, void or unenforceable then the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
IN WITTINESS WHEREOF, THE PARTIES AGREE TO THE COVENANTS CONTAINED HEREIN, AND INTEND TO BE LEGALLY BOUND HEREBY.
