We have designed a number of guidelines that we hope will maintain the community in such a way as to make you pleased to live here. The standards outlined in these rules should serve as a guideline of behavior for the residents and their guests and will establish conformity amongst all of our residents. I. OCCUPANCY AND RENTAL 1.

A fee of $35.00 will be charged to the lessee for each check that is returned for insufficient funds. The payment is considered late if it is received after the fifth day of the current month. A $50.00 charge will be added to the balance due after the 5th of the month. The balance will not be considered "paid in full" until all fees due have been paid. A partial payment is still subject to penalties until it is paid in full. Rent must be paid in form of check or money order, or electronic payment. 3.

Application standards of the community prohibit the residency approval of persons convicted of criminal felony and this extends to persons who occupy the home of an approved resident.
