conduct to fairly inform the tenant of what he or she must or must not do to comply;
(4) It applies to all tenants in the premises in a fair manner;
(5) It is not for the purpose of evading the obligations of the landlord; and
(6) The tenant has notice of it at the time he or she enters into the rental agreement,
