RESIDENTIAL LEASE AGREEMENT
THIS LEASE AGREEMENT (hereinafter referred to as the “Agreement”) is made and entered into this 1st day of September, 2026, by and between Brightstone Property Management LLC (hereinafter referred to as “Lessor”) and Jordan A. Rivera (hereinafter referred to as “Lessee”), for the premises situated at 214 Maple Court, Unit 3B, Springfield (hereinafter the “Premises”).
1. TERM
The term of this Agreement shall commence on September 1, 2026 and shall continue in full force and effect for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter, terminating on August 31, 2027, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions herein.
2. RENT
Lessee covenants and agrees to pay Lessor, as rent for the Premises, the sum of ONE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS ($1,450.00) per month, payable in advance on or before the first (1st) day of each calendar month. Rent received after the third (3rd) day of the month shall be deemed delinquent.
3. LATE CHARGES; RETURNED PAYMENTS
In the event rent is not received by Lessor on or before the third (3rd) day of the month, Lessee shall pay a late charge in the amount of SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLARS ($75.00), plus TEN DOLLARS ($10.00) per diem for each day rent remains unpaid thereafter, not to exceed ten percent (10%) of the monthly rent. Any payment returned for insufficient funds shall incur a service charge of FORTY-FIVE DOLLARS ($45.00), and Lessor may thereafter require all sums be paid by certified funds.
4. SECURITY DEPOSIT
Upon execution hereof, Lessee shall deposit with Lessor the sum of ONE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY DOLLARS ($1,450.00) as security for the faithful performance by Lessee of the terms hereof. Said deposit may be applied by Lessor toward unpaid rent, cleaning costs, key replacement, and repair of damages beyond ordinary wear and tear. The balance, together with an itemized statement of any deductions, shall be returned to Lessee within thirty (30) days following surrender of the Premises. Said deposit shall not be applied by Lessee in lieu of the final month's rent.
5. UTILITIES
Lessee shall be responsible for and shall promptly pay all charges for electricity, gas, water, sewer, refuse collection, telephone, and internet services furnished to the Premises, save and except that Lessor shall furnish trash removal for the common areas only.
6. OCCUPANCY AND GUESTS
The Premises shall be occupied solely by Lessee and such persons expressly named on the application. Guests remaining in excess of fourteen (14) cumulative days within any twelve-month period without the prior written consent of Lessor shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement, and Lessor may assess an additional charge of ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00) per month per unauthorized occupant.
7. MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS, AND ALTERATIONS
Lessee shall, at Lessee's sole expense, keep and maintain the Premises in good, clean, and sanitary condition, and shall promptly notify Lessor in writing of any defect or dangerous condition. Lessee shall be liable for the cost of any repair occasioned by the negligence or misuse of Lessee, Lessee's family, invitees, or guests. Lessee shall not paint, paper, or otherwise alter the Premises, nor install any fixture, without the prior written consent of Lessor.
8. RIGHT OF ENTRY
Lessor and Lessor's agents shall have the right to enter the Premises upon not less than twenty-four (24) hours' notice for the purpose of inspection, repair, or exhibition of the Premises to prospective tenants or purchasers, and at any time without notice in the event of emergency.
9. EARLY TERMINATION
Should Lessee vacate the Premises prior to the expiration of the term hereof without legal cause, Lessee shall remain liable for an early termination fee equal to TWO (2) months' rent, together with forfeiture of the security deposit, and shall further remain liable for rent accruing until such time as the Premises are re-let, whichever obligation is greater.
10. HOLDOVER; RENEWAL
In the absence of written notice of non-renewal delivered by either party not less than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the term, this Agreement shall automatically renew on a month-to-month basis at a monthly rental rate equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the then-current rent.
11. ATTORNEY'S FEES
In the event of any action or proceeding arising out of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney's fees and costs incurred therein.
12. GOVERNING LAW; SEVERABILITY
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Premises are located. Should any provision hereof be adjudged invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall nevertheless continue in full force and effect.
Residential lease agreement
Apartment lease — 214 Maple Court, Unit 3B
This is a 12-month apartment lease between you (Jordan Rivera) and Brightstone Property Management. Rent is $1,450 a month. It spells out late fees, a $1,450 security deposit, who pays utilities, and the rules for guests, repairs, and moving out early. A few sections are flagged below.
Who's involved
This lease is between you (called the “Lessee”) and Brightstone Property Management (the “Lessor” — your landlord). It's for the apartment at 214 Maple Court, Unit 3B, and starts September 1, 2026.
How long it lasts
You're committing to a full year: September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027. It can only end earlier under the rules written elsewhere in this lease (see “Leaving early”).
Rent
Rent is $1,450 a month, due by the 1st. You have until the 3rd before it officially counts as late.
Late fees
If rent arrives after the 3rd, you owe a $75 late fee, plus $10 for every additional day it stays unpaid, up to a cap of $145 (10% of rent). A bounced payment costs $45 more — and after one, the landlord can require cashier's checks or money orders from then on.
Worth noting: Being 10 days late costs $145 on top of rent — the fee builds daily, not as a one-time charge.
Security deposit
You put down $1,450 when you sign. The landlord can use it for unpaid rent, cleaning, replacing keys, or fixing damage beyond normal wear and tear. Whatever's left must come back to you within 30 days after you move out, with an itemized list of anything they kept. You can't tell them to “just use the deposit” as your last month's rent.
Worth noting: “Beyond ordinary wear and tear” isn't defined here — the lease leaves what counts as damage to the landlord's judgment, with the itemized list as your record.
Utilities
You pay for all utilities: electric, gas, water, sewer, trash, phone, and internet. The landlord only covers trash pickup for shared areas like hallways.
Guests
Only you and the people named on your application can live there. A guest who stays more than 14 total days in a year — without the landlord's written OK — breaks the lease, and the landlord can charge $100 a month for each extra person.
Worth noting: The 14-day guest limit is cumulative across the whole year, not per visit — frequent weekend guests can add up to a lease violation.
Repairs and changes
You keep the place clean and tell the landlord in writing about anything broken or dangerous. If you, your family, or your guests cause damage, you pay for the repair. No painting, wallpapering, or installing fixtures without written permission first.
When the landlord can come in
The landlord can enter with at least 24 hours' notice — to inspect, make repairs, or show the place to future tenants or buyers. In an emergency, they can enter anytime without notice.
Leaving early
If you move out before the lease ends without a legal reason, you owe whichever of these two is bigger — not both. One: two months' rent ($2,900) plus your $1,450 deposit, which comes to $4,350. Two: the rent that keeps running until the landlord re-rents the place.
Worth noting: Breaking this lease costs at least $4,350 — two months' rent plus your deposit. It costs more only if the place sits empty past three months, and then that rent replaces the $4,350 rather than adding to it.
Automatic renewal
Unless you or the landlord gives written notice at least 60 days before August 31, 2027, the lease automatically rolls into month-to-month — at 110% of your current rent. For this lease that means $1,595 a month.
Worth noting: Doing nothing raises your rent 10%. To avoid that, written notice is due by July 2, 2027 — 60 days before the lease ends.
If there's a lawsuit
If either of you sues the other over this lease, the loser pays the winner's attorney fees and court costs.
The legal boilerplate
The lease follows the laws of the state where the apartment is. If a court ever strikes down one section, the rest of the lease still stands.
