District Office Lease Attachment-Instructions The District Office Lease Attachment must accompany every Lease or Lease Amendment that is submitted for a Member/Member-Elect's District Office. NO LEASE,AMENDMENT OR ATTACHMENT CAN BE SIGNED BEFORE THEY HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE COUNSEL. The term of a District Office Lease or Amendment for the 116th Congress may not commence prior to January 3,2019. Members should endeavor to lease space through the last day of a congressional term rather than the last day of a calendar year. For the 116th Congress,leases should end on January 2,2021,not December 31,2020. A few things to keep in mind: A. The Member/Member-Elect is required to personally sign the documents. B. The Member/Member-Elect must indicate in Section A("Lease Amenities")of the Attachment whether the proposed leased space will serve as a flagship district office. C. The Lessor must complete the amenities checklist in Section A("Lease Amenities"),unless the checkbox at the top of the amenities checklist is marked to indicate that amenities are listed elsewhere in the Lease. D. Broadband/cable availability can be checked by entering the address of the proposed leased space at https://broadbandmap.fcc.gov.The Member/Member-Elect should still confirm broadband/cable status directly with the Lessor. E. Section B("Additional Terms and Conditions")of the Attachment SHALL NOT have any provisions deleted or changed. F. Even if rent is zero,an Attachment is still required. G. Prior to either party signing a Lease or Amendment,the Member/Member-Elect must submit the proposed Lease or Amendment,accompanied by a copy of the Attachment,to the Administrative Counsel for review and approval. If the Administrative Counsel determines that the proposed terms and conditions of the Lease or Amendment are in compliance with applicable law and House Rules and Regulations,the Administrative Counsel will notify the Member/Member-Elect that(s)he may proceed with the execution of the Lease or Amendment. Please submit the proposed Lease or Amendment and Attachment either by e-mail in PDF form (leases@mail.house.gov)or by fax(202-225-6999). H. Once signed by both parties,the Lease or Amendment and the Attachment must be submitted to the Administrative Counsel for final approval. The Attachment should be submitted at the same time the Lease or Amendment is sent to the Administrative Counsel. They may be sent by email in PDF form(leases@mail.house.gov)or faxed to(202-225-6999). I. Without a properly signed and submitted Attachment,the Lease or Amendment cannot be approved and payments will not be made. The parties agree that any charges for default,early termination or cancellation of the Lease or Amendment which result from actions taken by or on behalf of the Lessee shall be the sole responsibility of the Lessee,and are not reimbursable from the Member's Representational Allowance. J. Lessor shall provide a copy of any assignment,estoppel certificate,notice of a bankruptcy or foreclosure,or notice of a sale or transfer of the leased premises to the Administrative Counsel by e-mail in PDF form(leases@mail.house.gov).
