These Rules and Regulations do not supersede or change the CC&Rs or Bylaws in any manner, but they are equally enforceable under the law. Wherever the word “Owner” or “homeowner” appears in this document, it will include tenants and/or occupants. All Rules and Regulations herein will apply to all Owners, tenants and/or occupants.

Owners shall be responsible for the actions or misconduct of their tenants, occupants and invitees and adherence to the Rules and Regulations of the Association. Each Owner shall be responsible for providing their tenants with a current copy of the Association Rules and Regulations.

The monthly maintenance assessments by the Homeowners Association on common property will depend, in large measure, on the care and consideration exercised by each and every Owner and their guests. If the maintenance costs are high and the current budget is not sufficient to meet these costs, association dues will have to be increased accordingly.

The Rules and Regulations herein may be changed or added to at any time by the Board of Directors. The Board may revoke any consent granted hereunder.

ENFORCEMENT OF RULES AND REGULATIONS

In order to enforce the CC&Rs, Bylaws, Articles of Incorporation and Rules and Regulations, the Board of Directors may levy, assess, and collect reasonable fines and costs as established by the Board of Directors. The fines will be assessed against the Homeowner for violations by the Homeowner, members of his or her family, invitees, licensee, tenants or lessees of such Owners. (Whenever the word “Owner” is used in this document, the word “tenant” shall also apply.)

NOTE:

• Homeowners are responsible for damage caused to the common area.
• All fees or costs incurred by the Association to enforce violations or collect fines will be the responsibility of the dwelling Owner.
• It is each Owner’s sole responsibility to inform their tenants of all Rules and Regulations. The Owner is also responsible for any and all damage caused by their tenants.
• Anyone wishing to report what they believe is a violation of the rules and regulations or CC&Rs is encouraged to do so by filing with the Board a “Notice of Non-Compliance”. (See the sample form at the end of these rules and regulations.) Violations should be reported in writing. The identity of the person reporting the violation will not be disclosed to the Owner involved.
• Failure to pay the fines in the time as set forth herein may result in the filing of appropriate legal action. In addition, voting rights and the right to use the pool may be suspended.
• Title Six of the California Civil Code, also known as the “Davis-Stirling Common Interests Development Act,” and all sections therein and all sections subsequently added are deemed incorporated into these Rules and Regulations and made a part hereof.

These Rules & Regulations have been adopted so that homeowners and tenants may know what activities are permitted and what are prohibited. They are intended to help establish standards which will not only protect the life and property of the occupants living here, but will help protect the value and enjoyment of the property. They are not intended to impose unreasonable restrictions on anyone. Your support and suggestions are welcome.
