THE BUILDING Commitment to Smoke-Free Living Related Rentals’ commitment to smoke-free living includes providing completely smoke-free common areas, amenity spaces and building entryways. In addition, we are converting all of our apartments to smoke-free status as every new resident will be required to agree to refrain from smoking in their home. Drugs Drug use of any kind is not only against building rules, but also illegal. Please refrain from such activities. Noise In order to maintain the quiet and peaceful enjoyment of everyone’s home please keep the operation of any audio, visual, musical instrument, etc. at a reasonable level. Children are not allowed to play or ride toy vehicles in the hallways or run and scream in common areas of the building (i.e. lobby).
4
Hallways Please keep all personal items out of the hallways, such as shoes, umbrellas, strollers, toys, etc. Obstruction of common areas is considered a fire hazard; therefore all items found in the hallway will be removed and discarded as safety of our residents is of the utmost priority.
YOUR NEW APARTMENT Temperature Control Unit Your apartment has individually controlled incremental heating units. The units contain a thermostat to control the temperature, which makes for comfortable living for all residents. If you encounter anything unusual with your heating unit, do not attempt to repair it yourself. Call the concierge desk to request service. If you want to keep your energy usage and bills low, we recommend closing your windows and doors when you are running the heating and cooling unit. Also keeping blinds closed to the sun in summer when you’re out of the house and open for the sun in winter will help keep the temperature of your home comfortable and energy efficient. Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors For your safety, your apartment is equipped with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors that will automatically sound an alarm in case of fire, smoke or excessive carbon monoxide levels. Periodic “chirping” of the alarm within the detector indicates a low battery condition. If this condition occurs please contact the concierge desk to have your battery replaced. In case of fire or smoke, please call 911 and refer to your Fire Safety Plan. Windows and Window Treatments The windows in your unit have locks on them so that they can only open 4 inches. The mini-blinds provided with your apartment must remain in the windows. When leaving your apartment for extended periods of time please ensure all windows are completely closed and locked. Bathtub The bathtub should not be cleaned with abrasive cleaners. Use products such as Bon Ami Powder Cleanser, Method Le Scrub Bathroom Cleaner, Mrs. Meyer’s Bathroom Cleaner, Simple Green All Purpose Cleaner, Clorox Green Works Bathroom Cleaner, Pink Solution or Seventh Generation Tub & Tile Cleaner, as per product directions. Use a sponge or nylon bristle brush to clean your bathtub to prevent abrasions to the surface. Water Fixtures In an effort to conserve water, we have provided our residents with new “water smart” water fixtures, including dual flush toilets. These fixtures are high efficiency water savers. If they are abused in any way, they will not work efficiently. Therefore, please refrain from disposing any item(s) not intended for their use. Wood Floor Care As with all hardwood flooring, it is important to properly clean and maintain wood floors to prevent substances, including but not limited to water, food and grease, from making the floor slippery. Please vacuum, sweep, or dust mop regularly. Never damp mop with water, as you may permanently damage the floor. Use a wood floor cleaner such as Method Squirt + Mop Wood Floor Cleaner, Caldera AllPurpose Cleaner, Attitude Floor Surfaces Tiles & Wood, or Seventh Generation Wood Cleaner, as per
5
product directions. Area rugs should be slip-resistant with a backing that will not discolor the floor. Please use floor protectors under heavy furniture to help reduce the risk of indentation by distributing weight properly and help prevent scrapes and scratches when moving furniture. Rent Payments You can choose between automatic bank withdrawal and credit card payment with MasterCard®. You have the option to sign up for Automatic Bill Payment and have your rent automatically withdrawn from your bank account or billed to your MasterCard® credit or charge card every month – offering convenience and the ability to earn rewards. To enroll in ABP, simply log onto the resident website and click the “Pay Rent/View Account” tab on the navigation bar. Under “Payment Options” choose between automatic bank withdrawal and MasterCard® and follow the instructions. You can also fill out the payment forms in Resident Circle and give them to your Resident Service Specialist. Rent payments may be left in the rent drop box located in the mailroom. They can be mailed or delivered in person to the management office. Mailed rent checks must be received by the 5th of the month to avoid incurring a late fee. The management office does not acknowledge postmarked dates. Please make checks payable to The Paramount, and send them to 680 Mission Street, Attention Leasing, San Francisco, CA. 94105. Rent is due the first (1st) of the month. Rent is considered late after the first day of the month, although a five (5) day grace period has been established as a courtesy. A 50.00 late fee will be incurred if your check is not received by the close of the fifth (5th) day of the month. Any rent check that is returned for insufficient funds will incur a 25.00 processing fee (note: 25.00 for the first time and 35.00 thereafter.) Late rents must be paid in cashier's check, money order or credit card. Repairs and Service If, at any time, you require repair or service attention in your apartment, simply stop by the concierge desk to prepare a service request. You may also call the concierge desk or submit service requests via the resident website. Most service requests are addressed within 24 hours. Naturally, emergencies are handled immediately. For your convenience, you can track the status of service requests through the resident website. To avoid any miscommunication, and because staff may not enter any apartment without a written service request on file, please ensure you fill out a service request. Please do not request service directly from maintenance staff personnel. Members of our maintenance staff are permitted to perform services outside of their job responsibilities provided they abide by the guidelines set forth by the management team. Alterations to the Apartment All alterations to your apartment must have the written authorization of the management office in advance of any work being performed. It is your responsibility to restore your apartment to its original condition when you vacate. Damage Charges If incorrect usage is determined to be the cause of any damage to your apartment, or if you incur any damage beyond normal wear and tear, you will be charged for labor and materials to complete the repair.

Tips on How to Minimize Mold Growth It is our goal to maintain the highest quality living environment for our residents. To help achieve this goal, it is important to work together to minimize the potential for conditions that could lead to the growth of naturally occurring mold.
Residents can help minimize mold growth in their apartment by taking the following actions: • Open windows. Proper ventilation is essential. If it is not possible to open windows, run the fans on the apartment PTAC units to circulate fresh air throughout your apartment. In damp or rainy weather conditions, please keep windows and doors closed. • If possible, maintain a temperature between 50 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit within your apartment at all times. Clean and dust your apartment on a regular basis as required by your lease. Regular vacuuming, mopping, and use of environmentally safe household cleaners is important to remove household dirt and debris that contribute to mold growth. • Periodically clean and dry the walls and floors around the sink, bathtub, shower, toilets, windows and patio doors using a common household disinfecting cleaner. On a regular basis, wipe down and dry areas where moisture sometimes accumulates, like countertops, windows and windowsills. • Use the exhaust fans in your kitchen when cooking or while the dishwasher is running, and allow the fan to run until all excess moisture has vented from the kitchen. Use care when watering houseplants. If spills occur, dry up excess water immediately. • Be sure to leave the closet door to your washer / dryer open when using the equipment and clean the lint screen after every use. When washing clothes in warm or hot water, watch to make sure condensation does not build up within the washer and dryer closet; if condensation does accumulate, dry with a fan or towel. • Thoroughly dry any spills or pet urine on carpeting. • Do not overfill closets or storage areas. Ventilation is important in these spaces. • Do not allow damp or moist stacks of clothes or other cloth materials to lie in piles for an extended period of time. • Immediately report to the management office any evidence of a water leak or excessive moisture in your apartment, storage room, garage, or any common area. • Immediately report to the management office any evidence of mold growth that cannot be removed by simply applying a common household cleaner and wiping the area. Also, report any area of mold that reappears despite regular cleaning. • Immediately report to the management office any failure or malfunction with your heating, ventilation, air-conditioning system, or laundry system. As your lease provides, do not block or cover any of the heating, ventilation or air-conditioning ducts in your apartment. • Immediately report to the management office any inoperable windows or doors. • Immediately report to the management office any musty odors that you notice in your apartment.

LIVING IN YOUR COMMUNITY Apartment Key Procedures Upon moving into your apartment, you will receive 2 keys for the front door lock and 2 mailbox keys. A secure, locked key box, stationed behind the concierge desk, houses a duplicate key to each apartment within the building. You and your authorized guests / service providers will have access to this key with your signed authorization. It will also allow us, with your permission, to timely respond to your service requests while you are away from the building. It is critical that all keys signed out at the front desk be returned to the desk within 24 hours to ensure you will have a key available for you and or your guest / vendor for the next time. In addition, we will not be able to perform service requests for you while you are gone if a key is not left for our staff in the key box. Our maintenance staff does not have master keys to any resident apartment. If you or a guest are locked out of your apartment and our staff must perform a lockout because the spare key was not returned to the key box, your account will be assessed a lockout fee. To insure the safety of all of our residents, keys can only be left with the concierge desk for 48 hours. Should you fail to pick up your keys within the 48 hour period, your keys will be signed over to the management office. You may pick them up from the management office Monday through Friday from 9AM to 6PM.

Hailing Cabs: The doorman may have to walk as far as a block away to secure cabs for residents.

Related Management would like to assure you that our employees are appropriately compensated for the services they provide to our residents. However, if there are specific employees whom you feel have provided services above and beyond your expectations, and you feel a gratuity is deserved, you may feel free to provide such on a voluntary basis to either the individual employee or to an employee fund. For your convenience, there will be a locked box located at the concierge desk for gratuities that will be equally distributed among the staff. Please note that we have no means of cashing personal checks on behalf of the employees.
