may be exempt from these limitations based upon zoning variances or the age of the property. You are encouraged to

All Roommates understand that they are all jointly responsible for the lease obligations and that,
by law, any one of them may be held individually responsible for the total amounts owed under
the lease. Therefore agree that should one Roommate pay any amount in excess of his/her
proportionate share as outlined in this Agreement, that Roommate shall have the right to collect
from the other Roommates their proportionate share of any such excess amount. Any deductions
from the deposit shall be shared by all the Roommates equally unless otherwise agreed upon
below; however, the cost of any damage caused solely by one of the Roommates or a
Roommate’s exclusive guest which is deducted from the security deposit shall be the sole
responsibility of that Roommate. The Roommates agree to share equally any additional common
costs and expenses for the Residence, such as cleaning supplies, sundries, etc.
