and execute a new, written, and signed Arizona Lease Agreement; or	
 	
(ii)	              	Landlord willingly accepts new Rent from Tenant, which does not constitute past due 
Rent.	
 	
In the event that Landlord accepts new rent from Tenant after the termination date, a month-to-
month tenancy shall be created. If at any time either party desires to terminate the month-to-
month tenancy, such party may do so by providing to the other party written notice of intention to 
terminate at least 30 days prior to the desired date of termination of the month-to-monthtenancy.	
 	
Notices to terminate may be given on any calendar day, irrespective of Commencement 
Date. Rent shall continue at the rate specified in this Arizona Lease Agreement, or as allowed by 
law. All other terms and conditions as outlined in this Arizona Lease Agreement shall remain in 
full force and effect. Time is of the essence for providing notice of termination (strict compliance 
with dates by which notice must be provided is required)	
 	
3.          RENT.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord the sum of $______________ per month as Rent for the 
Term of the Agreement. Due date for Rent payment shall be the 1st day of each calendar month

on the 2nd day of each calendar month. If Tenant fails to timely pay any month’s rent, 
Tenant will pay Landlord a late charge of $_________ per day until rent is paid in full. If 
Landlord receives	
 the monthly rent by the 3	rd day of the month, Landlord will waive the 
late charges for that month. Any waiver of late charges under this paragraph will not 
affect or diminish any other right or remedy Landlord may exercise for Tenant’s failure to 
timely pay rent.	
 	
B.       Prorated  Rent	. In the event that the Commencement Date is not the 1st of the calendar 
month, Rent payment remitted on the Commencement Date shall be prorated based on a

funds ("NSF") or if Tenant stops payment, Tenant will pay $_________ to Landlord for 
each such check, plus late charges, as described above, until Landlord 
has received	
 payment. Furthermore, Landlord may require in writing that Tenant pay all 
future Rent payments by cash, money order, or cashier's check.	
 	
D.        Order in which funds are applied	. Landlord will apply all funds received from Tenant first to 
any non-rent obligations of Tenant including late charges, returned check charges, 
charge-backs for repairs, brokerage fees, and periodic utilities, then to rent, regardless of 
any notations on a check.	
 	
E.        Rent Increases	. There will be no rent increases through the Termination Date. If this lease 
is renewed automatically on a month to month basis, Landlord may increase the rent
