Rent will be due and payable, in advance, on the first day of each month. Rent for periods of less than full calendar months shall be prorated on the basis of actual numbers of days of the month covered by the term of the lease. 3. Security Deposit. Landlord hereby acknowledges receipt of a security deposit in the amount of $-0- from the Tenant. 4. Use of Demised Premises. The Demised Premises are leased exclusively for use as a dwelling by a single family. Tenant shall comply with existing zoning regulations and shall not conduct or permit to be conducted any nuisance at the Demised Premises. 5. No Pets. Tenant shall not permit pets of any description to be inside the Demised Premises and shall not permit any pet kept outside the Demised Premises to become a nuisance. 6. Utilities. Payment for telephone, electricity, water, gas, fuel oil and any other utilities shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant. 7. Heat. Tenant shall maintain heat in the Demised Premises at a temperature sufficient to keep all water pipes in the Demised Premises from freezing. The rupture of any pipe in the Demised Premises during the period of the Tenant's occupancy shall be deemed to have resulted from the Tenant's failure to comply with the terms of this covenant unless the Tenant can demonstrate otherwise to the satisfaction of the Landlord. 8. Maintenance. Tenant shall keep the Demised Premises clean and in a good state of repair. Tenant shall maintain the roof and exterior walls and surfaces, shall keep the Demised Premises' lawn mowed and shall replace any broken windows. Insurance on the contents of the dwelling shall be the sole responsibility of the Tenant. 9. Default. Tenant will be in default under this agreement in the event Tenant fails to pay the rent due by the fifth day after it becomes due or fails to comply with any other covenant of this agreement. In the event of default, Tenant shall surrender the Demised Premises immediately upon demand by written notice from Landlord. Tenant's failure to surrender the Demised Premises upon demand will subject Tenant to summary ejectment from the Demised Premises as provided in North Carolina General Statutes Section 42-26. Such ejectment shall not affect Tenant's liability for rent to the Landlord for the balance of the term. 10. Holding Over. If Tenant remains in the Demised Premises beyond the end of the original term, Tenant shall be deemed to be holding over only on a bi-annual basis, but such tenancy shall be terminated by Landlord's giving notice of termination to Tenant at least six months prior to the end of such term. 11. Tenant's Duties Upon Termination. Upon any termination of the tenancy created hereby whether by the Landlord or the Tenant and whether for breach or otherwise, the Tenant shall: (a) pay all utility bills due for services to the Demised Premises for which he is responsible and have all such utility services discontinued; (b) vacate the Demised Premises removing therefrom all his personal property of whatever nature; (c) properly sweep and clean the Demised Premises, including plumbing fixtures, refrigerators, stoves and sinks, removing therefrom all rubbish, trash and refuse; (d) make such repairs and perform such other acts as are necessary to return the Demised Premises and any appliances or fixtures furnished in connection therewith, in the same condition as when this agreement was executed, ordinary wear and tear excepted; (e) fasten and lock all doors and windows; (f) return to the Landlord the keys to the Demised Premises, and (g) give the Landlord written notice of the address to which the balance of the security deposit may be returned. If the Tenant fails to sweep out and clean the Demised Premises, appliances, and fixtures as herein provided, he shall become liable, without notice or demand, to the Landlord for all necessary cleaning fees.
