1.Lease Term. The term of this Lease shall be for one (1) year and commence on
April 1, 2022 and shall expire automatically on March 30, 2023 (the “Term”) unless sooner
terminated or renewed as provided by this Lease. Except as provided in Paragraph 3, this Lease,
upon expiration, will automatically renew for the same Term and upon the same conditions set
forth herein provided that Tenant is not currently in default of any provision of this Lease or has
not previously been in default of this Lease. Any prior default by Tenant of any provision of this
Lease eliminates the right to renew.
2.Landlord’s Right to Elect to Not Renew Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary and in addition to Landlord’s other rights and remedies set forth in this Lease, Landlord
has the right to not renew this Lease for another term if Landlord, at Landlord’s sole discretion,
elects to not renew the Lease for another Term and provides Tenant with notice of Landlord’s
intent to not renew the Lease at least sixty (60) days before the expiration of the current Term.
Landlord shall not be required to provide Tenant notice of its election to not renew the Lease if
Tenant is currently or has been in default of the Lease at any time while the Lease is in effect.
3.Rent. Rent for the term of this Lease shall be the sum of $24,600.00 payable in
monthly installments of $2,050.00 (“Monthly Rent”). The first Monthly Rent payment shall be
due, along with last month’s rent and Security Deposit, prior to Tenant occupying the Premises.
Monthly Rent shall be due thereafter on the first day of each calendar month until expiration of
the Term. Rent payments shall be made in the form of electronic payment or by a personal

Required: Address of unit MUST be written on the check or money order.
4.Security Deposit. As set forth above, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a
Security Deposit in the amount of $500.00 (on file), which amount shall be held during the term
of this Lease. Upon termination of the Lease or surrender and acceptance of the Premises,
whichever is later, Landlord shall return to Tenant the Security Deposit, minus any amounts
lawfully retained, within sixty (60) days. In the event Landlord retains any portion of the
Security Deposit, Landlord shall provide tenant with a written statement listing the exact reasons
for retention of any portion of the Security Deposit. This Security Deposit shall not be construed
as liquidated damages and shall not impair or alter remedies otherwise available to Landlord
hereunder, or at law or in equity, including the right to proceed against the Tenant for rent,
damages, or expenses not adequately covered by the deposit. In the event Tenant unlawfully
attempts to terminate this Lease or abandons the Premises, Landlord shall be entitled to retain the
entire Security Deposit. In the event Security Deposit or any portion thereof is used by Landlord,
Tenant must replenish the Security Deposit with Landlord within thirty (30) days of notice by
Landlord to Tenant that the Security Deposit has been used by Landlord. Tenant’s failure to
replenish the Security Deposit shall constitute grounds for termination of this Lease.
5.Lease is Contingent upon Continued Employment with Pitkin County. Tenant
acknowledges that this Lease is contingent upon continued employment with Pitkin County. If
during the term of this Lease or any renewal period, the Tenant is no longer employed with
Pitkin County, this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall be required to vacate the Premises
within thirty (30) days of the date that Tenant’s employment with Pitkin County becomes final.
For the purpose of this Lease only, Tenant’s employment with Pitkin County becomes final upon
voluntary resignation or, in the circumstance of involuntary termination, upon the expiration of
only those appeal rights, if any, provided in the Pitkin County Policies and Procedure Manual, as
that document may be amended from time to time. For the purpose of this Lease.
6.Other Qualifications. In addition to being employed by Pitkin County, Tenant
shall not, during the term of this lease, own or have a property interest in, whether individually or
through an entity, any other real property in the Aspen Pitkin County Housing Authority
(“APCHA”), Ownership Exclusion Zone, as that term is defined in the then-in-effect APCHA
housing guidelines. Prior to occupancy of the Premises, Tenant shall comply with and qualify
under this Lease pursuant to the then-in-effect Pitkin County Revised Housing Policy. A copy of
the Pitkin County Revised Housing Policy is appended to this Lease as “Addendum A” and
made a part of this Lease by this reference. Landlord and Tenant shall execute a copy of
Addendum A at the same time as executing this Lease.
7.Late Charges and Acceleration. Tenant shall be assessed a late charge of fifty
dollars ($50.00) per day if Monthly Rent has not been paid by the close of business on the fifth
(5th) day of the month. If the fifth day of the month falls on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday,
Monthly Rent will be considered late on the following business day. Landlord's failure to collect
any late charges that have accrued shall not be deemed to be a waiver of these charges, and
Landlord shall be entitled to deduct all accrued and unpaid late charges out of Tenant's Security
Deposit upon termination of this Lease. Late charges shall accrue in any case where the full
Housing Lease Template 06/23/21
3
Monthly Rent, or any portion thereof, remains unpaid, including in circumstances where
Tenant’s payment is dishonored. Accordingly, partial payments of Monthly Rent will not prevent
the full late charge from being applied to the amounts due. In the event of any default in the
payment of Monthly Rent after the fifth day of the month, Landlord may choose to accelerate
payment of the entire annual rent, which shall become due and payable without any notice or
demand from the Landlord. Any failure to pay rent when due shall constitute a material breach of
this Lease.
8.Inspection. Landlord or its agents shall have the right to inspect the Premises at
reasonable times during the term of this Lease upon giving reasonable notice to the Tenant of the
intent to inspect. Reasonable notice shall be twenty-four (24) hours, unless the circumstances
under which inspection is carried out warrant a shorter period of time (e.g. risk to property or
life).
9.Condition of the Premises. Tenant hereby acknowledges that Tenant has inspected
the Premises and fixtures and warrants that the same are in good condition and suitable for the
use intended at the time of taking possession of the Premises. Tenant further acknowledges that
there is no damage to the Premises, furniture or fixtures at the commencement of this Lease other
than as specifically set forth in writing, signed by the parties at the commencement of this Lease
initialed by Landlord and Tenant. Tenant, at Tenant's own cost, agrees to maintain the Premises,
together with all appurtenances thereto, all fixtures and appliances, in accordance with
paragraphs 9 and 10 below, and shall at the expiration or sooner termination hereof deliver the
same to Landlord in their present condition and state of repair, reasonable wear and tear
excepted. Tenant shall be responsible for any damage to the Premises or any portion thereof,
caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant or Tenant's family, agents or guests. In the event of
such damage, Tenant shall deliver immediate notice thereof to Landlord. Landlord at its sole
option may require Tenant to repair said damage at Tenant's own cost and expense, or Landlord
may repair such damage and charge the expense thereof to Tenant as additional rent hereunder.
10.Maintenance of Premises. Tenant shall maintain the Premises in a reasonably
clean and safe manner, including the following:
a.Keep the Premises reasonably clean, safe, and sanitary as permitted by the
condition of the Premises;

Premises within the Tenant's control, to conduct themselves in a manner
that does not disturb their neighbors' peaceful enjoyment of the neighbor's
dwelling unit(s) or property; and

destroy, deface, damage, impair, or remove any part of the Premises or
knowingly permit any person within his or her control to do so.
11.Renters Insurance. Pitkin County's property insurance does not provide coverage
for any personal effects or possessions of the household members who occupy the
Premises. Therefore, Tenants are required to obtain and maintain, at their own expense, prior to
the inception date of their Lease and then throughout the Lease Term, Renters Liability
Insurance with limits of no less than one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00). Pitkin County
shall be named as an Additional Insured or Second Insured on the Renters Liability policy.
Tenant shall deliver a copy of the policy and renewal certificate to Pitkin County prior to Tenant
occupying the Premises and then annually upon renewal or reissuance of such policy. All such
liability policies shall provide notice to Pitkin County related to cancellation, termination, or
reduction in coverage in accordance with policy terms and conditions. Pitkin County makes no
representation that the limits of liability required to be carried by Tenant under the terms of this
Lease are adequate to protect Tenant's interests and Tenant should obtain such additional
insurance or increased liability limits as Tenant deems appropriate. Tenant is responsible for any
deductible or self-insured retention related to their Renters' Liability or Renter's Property
Insurance policy/policies. Failure to maintain the required liability insurance will be considered
to be material breach of this Lease.

purposes only and shall permit no unlawful activity on the Premises. If applicable, this Lease is
also subject to all rules and regulations, agreements, and protective covenants applicable to or

to be used for any business purposes (except home office uses without signs or client traffic) or
unlawful purpose of any sort. Home Owner Association rules and regulations must be strictly
adhered to by Tenant. Any violations or complaints are lease violations. Any fines, fees or other
penalties resulting in violation of these rules are the sole responsibility of the Tenant.

term of this Lease) and on such conditions as Lessor, at its discretion, may determine, and may
collect and receive the rents therefore. Lessor shall in no way be responsible for or liable for any
failure to re-let the leased Premises or any part thereof, or for any failure to collect any rent due
upon such re-letting. The rights and remedies of Landlord provided for herein are in addition to
and not an exclusion of any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity.
28.Additional Remedy Upon Default. If Tenant shall be in default hereunder as

deemed a tenancy of any kind or nature whatsoever, and Tenant shall be subject to eviction
proceedings without further notice. For purposes of such proceedings, Tenant shall be subject to
a claim for damages based on a pro rata rental rate for the Premises based on the then-in-effect
Rent or the fair market value of the premises, whichever is greater, for the period of such holding

Pitkin County, its subsidiary, associated and/or affiliated entities, successors, or assigns; or its
elected officials, employees, agents, and volunteers.

thereof and any delay in taking any action in connection therewith shall not waive such default,
but Landlord shall have the right to declare any such default at any time.
