Re: Moving Policy, [Address], New York, N.Y. 10001

Dear Shareholder:

To limit the inconvenience to you and the other residents of the building, as well as to protect the corporation against any loss resulting from damage to the building’s public areas or property, the Board of Directors has adopted the following policy to the House Rules & Regulations regarding moving:

Move-ins and move-outs must be scheduled with Dylan [Phone Number] at least 48 hours in advance of the move. The elevator will have to be prepared with protective mats to protect the cab. Move-ins and move-outs must take place between the hours of 9:00am and 4:30pm. The people moving in or out will be obliged to pay a fee of $50 to the Superintendent for his time.

A deposit of $900, of which $225 is non-refundable, is required of everyone moving in or moving out to indemnify the corporation against any loss resulting from damage to the building’s public areas or property. This includes Shareholders and subtenants of Shareholders. After the move, an inspection will be conducted. If any damage is noted, the cost of the repairs will be deducted from the deposit and the remainder will be refunded. If the damage exceeds $230, the additional amount will be billed to the Shareholder.

Sincerely,

[Building Management Company]

RIDER ATTACHED TO AND FORMING A PART OF THE SUBLEASE DATED       BETWEEN  ____________________ AS OVERTENANT AND                                                                 AS UNDERTENANT FOR APARTMENT  1A    IN PREMISES LOCATED AT [Address], NEW YORK, N.Y. 10001

1. This Sublease Agreement shall at all times be subject and subordinate to the Proprietary Lease between [Cooperative Corporation], (“Landlord” herein) and (“Overtenant” herein). Undertenant agrees to comply with all rules and regulations of [Cooperative Corporation] including, but not limited to, those rules and regulations concerning occupancy, use of the demised premises, subletting, pets, and unreasonable noise.  Any breach of such rules and regulations and/or the Proprietary Lease shall also constitute a breach of this Sublease Agreement, entitling Overtenant to all remedies for default as provided for in the Overlease, a copy of which has been made available for inspection by Undertenant. Undertenant hereby agrees that the Landlord’s Board of Directors and/or its managing agent is hereby vested with the legal right to commence legal actions or proceedings against Overtenant and/or Undertenant, jointly and/or severally, in the event Undertenant shall be in default of any terms, conditions or warranties contained herein.

2. Undertenant shall make no alterations, changes or improvements to the demised premises. This is a material obligation on the part of Undertenant herein, causing any breach thereof to constitute a substantial and material breach of this Sublease Agreement entitling Overtenant to all remedies for default as provided and contained in the Overlease, a copy of which is annexed hereto and incorporated herein.

3. Undertenant may not sublet the demised premises without the prior written consent of Overtenant and Landlord, which may be withheld by Overtenant and/or Landlord for any reason or for no reason whatsoever.

4. It is understood and agreed that the building in which the Premises rented is located is owned by a Cooperative Corporation, and is not regulated by any form of local or state rent control or rent stabilization. Thus, Undertenant understands and agrees that Undertenant has no statutory right to any renewal Lease, and any such renewal Lease which may be offered shall be on such terms and conditions as Overtenant may wish in Overtenant’s sole discretion, subject to obtaining from Landlord written consent thereto.

5. It is further understood and agreed that no loud noise shall emanate from the Premises rented that might cause discomfort, annoyance or disturbance to any person residing in the building in which the Premises rented constitutes a part or in any nearby building.

6. In the event Undertenant shall change or install any lock or any other type of security device in the Premises rented, Undertenant shall, at his/her sole cost and expense, supply Overtenant and Landlord with a copy of all such keys and instructions necessary so that Overtenant and Landlord, and their respective agents, may have physical access to the Premises rented at all times.

7. Undertenant may not keep any of his/her personal property in any of the public areas of the building in which the Premises rented constitutes a part without having first obtained the written consent of the Landlord.

8. Undertenant agrees at his/her sole cost and expense to comply with all present and future laws, orders, and regulations of all State, Federal, municipal and local governments, departments, commissions, and boards, relating to the collection, sorting, separation and recycling of waste products, garbage, refuse and trash (hereinafter referred to collectively as “recycling rules”) in to such categories as provided for by law, and in accordance with the rules and regulations adopted by Landlord for the sorting and separation of such recyclable materials. Landlord reserves the right, where permitted by law, to refuse to collect or accept from Undertenant any waste products, garbage, refuse or trash which is not separated or sorted as required by law.  Where permitted by law, Landlord reserves the right to require Undertenant to arrange for such collection of unseparated or non-household garbage at Undertenant’s sole cost and expense, utilizing a contractor satisfactory to Landlord.  Undertenant shall pay all costs, expenses, fines, penalties, or damages which may be imposed upon Landlord or Overtenant by reason of Undertenant’s failure to comply with the provisions of this Paragraph.  Further, Undertenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord and Overtenant harmless, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, from and against any actions, claims and suits arising from such Undertenant’s noncompliance with this Paragraph, utilizing counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord.  Undertenant shall also be liable for any cost, expenses and disbursements, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by Landlord in the commencement and/or prosecution of any actions or proceedings by Landlord against Undertenant, predicated upon Undertenant’s breach of this Paragraph.

9. In the event the Overtenant shall at any time default in the payment of rent or additional rent due Landlord (commonly referred to as “maintenance”), the Landlord may, at its option, so long as such default shall continue, demand and receive from the Undertenant the rent due or becoming due from such Undertenant to the Overtenant, and apply the amount to pay sums due and to become due from the Overtenant to the Landlord. Any payment by the Undertenant to the Landlord shall constitute a discharge of the obligation of such Undertenant to the Overtenant, to the extent of the amount so paid. The acceptance of rent (and/or maintenance) from the Undertenant shall not be deemed to consent to or approval of any subletting or assignment by the Overtenant, or a release or discharge of any of the obligations of the Overtenant to the Landlord, except to the extent of crediting to the Overtenant’s account the amount so paid by the Undertenant to the Landlord.
