(Please display in a prominent place in your home for renters or guests)
1. USE OF RESIDENCE BY NON-MEMBERS: Members leasing, renting, entertaining guests, or lending their homes to non-members shall be responsible for the conduct of such non-members. It is the responsibility of all owners to make sure that each renter or non-owner shall be familiar with our Rules and abide by them. As stated in our by-laws, no home may be rented for less than 30 days nor in excess of 6 months each calendar year. If a guest or renter violates or ignores our Rules, they will be expelled and no longer be allowed to rent an Association home.
2. TRASH DISPOSAL: Homeowners must arrange for TRASH pick-up prior to the arrival of guests or renters. Garbage must be bagged and placed in the gray cart; recyclables should be placed in the blue cart. Both carts will be emptied early each Friday a.m. The carts should be placed at the end of the driveway, on the opposite side of the mailbox. All yard waste, except palm fronds, must be placed in separate containers, bundled or neatly stacked for pick-up on Friday a.m. as well. Branches should be no more than 4 feet in length and 3 inches in diameter. Do not bag recyclables or yard waste. Place carts and any yard waste containers or bundles at roadside the night before pick-up and remove the empty carts/containers in a timely manner after pick-up.
