Lakeside
Manor
Rules and Regulations
IMPORTANT FACTOID
This
is the Age of Transparency and Full Disclosure
Many
of the states require Sellers to provide prospective Buyers with
a
written disclosure
statement covering working condition of items such
as appliances, structural defects and modifications, possible
easements,
nuisance-noise
flooring in upper story units, neighborhood problems and
other material fact that may affect the principal's decision to
purchase.
Most states require disclosure of deaths, as well, and not just
the ones
from unnatural causes. If a natural death occurred in the house
within the
past three years, it needs to be disclosed -- right up there with
whether
unleaded paint is on the walls if the home was built before 1978
and
whether any termite or other infestations have ever occurred.
As a seller,
it's important to be up front about your home's flaws -- even
the ones you
have paid to correct. It's a good way to avoid the risk of future
legal
actions.
And it also underscores the importance, if you are a buyer, of
doing your due
diligence and investigating every disclosure your seller is required
to make.

INFORMATION ABOUT LMCA DOCUMENTS
When purchasing a unit in Lakeside Manor Condominium, the purchaser
should become very familiar with the Association’s Official
Documents. The covenants of the Documents govern many aspects
of the way we live in this private community. The Documents contain
the Articles of Incorporation, the Declaration of Condominium,
the By-Laws and several more incidental but important sections.
The Documents authorize the Board of Directors to make and enforce
certain Rules & Regulations. These R's & R's also govern
some aspects of our living at Lakeside Manor Condominiums (LMC).
The following paragraphs provide some insight to the duties and
responsibilities of the Board of Directors and LMC residents.
The By-Laws on Page 3, Section 5 Powers reads as follows: “The
property and business of the Association shall be managed by the
Board of Administration, which may exercise all corporate powers
not specifically prohibited by statute, the Articles of Incorporation,
or the Declaration. The powers of the Board of Administration
shall specifically include, but not be limited to the following:
Sub-paragraph H. To make reasonable rules and regulations for
the occupancy of the units and the use of the common elements.”
Declaration of Condominium, Page 6, paragraph (4) The Association
through the Board of Directors has, “The power to adopt
reasonable rules and regulations for the maintenance and conservation
of the condominium property, and for the health, comfort, safety
and welfare of the unit owners, all of whom shall be subject to
such rules and regulations.”
The By-Laws of LMCA, Section 3, on page 13 reads as follows: “VIOLATIONS.
In the event of a violation of the provisions of the Declaration,
the Articles of Incorporation or By-Laws, which violation is not
corrected within ten (10) days after the notice from the Association
to the unit owner to correct said violation, the Association may
take such action as it may deem appropriate, including the institution
of legal action, to correct the violation. Nothing contained in
this Article shall be construed to require that the Association
furnish notice to any unit owner of his failure to pay any assessment,
sum or other charge due the Association. In the event such legal
action is brought against a unit owner and results in a judgment
for the plaintiff, the defendant shall pay the plaintiff’s
reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs.”
SELL UNIT
If you are selling your unit, provide management with:
1. A copy of “Owner’s Notice of Intent to Sell”
completed and signed.
2. A copy of Purchase Agreement duly signed by both parties with
a check for $150 for transfer of ownership.
3. A copy of LMCA Official Documents, Declaration, By-Laws, etc.
4. A copy of the latest Rules & Regulations.
5. A copy of “Application to Occupy” for each individual
14 years old and older to occupy the unit with a $75 check for
the first occupant and a check for $45 for each additional occupant
18 years old and older.
6. A signed “Release Form” for each occupant 18 years
old and older.
LEASE
UNIT
If you are leasing your unit, provide management with:
1. A copy of “Owner’s Notice of Intent to Lease”
signed.
2. A copy of Lease Agreement (a one year minimum lease is required).
3. A copy of “Application to Occupy” for each individual
14 years old and older to occupy the unit; a $75 check for first
occupant and $45 check for each additional occupant 18 years old
and older.
4. A copy of “Release Form” for each occupant 18 years
old and older.
5. A copy of the latest Rules & Regulations.
OCCUPY
UNIT
If you plan to occupy or add an occupant, provide management with:
1. If you are a non-owner resident adding an occupant, the unit
owner must sign the approval to add an occupant.
2. For all new occupants, 14 years old and older, provide a separate
copy of “Application to Occupy”.
3. Provide a $75 check for the first new occupant and $45 for
each additional occupant 18 and older.
4. For each new occupant 18 years and older, provide a signed
“Release Form.”
5. Provide a copy of the latest Rules & Regulations
Reminder - all documents must be legible and full size.
The Declaration of Condominium for LMCA, Article 17, page 10,
reads:
REMEDIES FOR VIOLATION, Each unit owner shall be governed by and
conform to this Declaration, the Articles and the By-Laws. Failure
to do so shall entitle the Association or any other unit owner
to recover damages or obtain injunctive relief or both, but such
relief shall not be exclusive of other remedies provided by law.”
The issuing of the Rules & Regulations to each owner and resident
constitutes a formal notice from the Association that each owner
and each resident is obligated to become familiar with and comply
with the Condominium Documents and the Rules & Regulations.
It is each owner’s responsibility to inform their residents
that they (their residents) are also required to comply with the
covenants of the Condominium Documents and the Rules & Regulations.
Failure to comply will not relieve the owner or the resident of
the responsibility and will result in a notice to appear before
the Fine Review Committee and a possible fine levied against the
unit owner. All prospective owners and residents are cautioned
to read the R's & R's and all Condominium Documents prior
to signing and binding agreements concerning ownerships of a condo
unit and/or leasing a unit in order to assure the Association
that they can and will abide by the covenants of the Association’s
documents and the Rules & Regulations.
The Rules & Regulations are subject to change by the Association’s
Board of Directors. All residents will be notified of such changes.

NOISE VIOLATIONS AND DOMESTIC VIOLATION
The Association’s Documents require a quiet time during
the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. All residents and their
guests are required to comply with quiet time rule. Every resident
of LMC is entitled to live in peace and quiet during the night
hours. Those who violate the quiet time are subject to being fined
by the Board of Directors.
Here is what you may choose to do when a violation occurs:
First remember that it is not
always safe to approach a person who is excited or aggravated
over some issue, especially at night. Don’t try to be the
judge and jury and settle the matter between these persons. Exercise
extreme caution if you do decide to speak with the offenders.
They may be violent when angry.
You may choose to make a written
report to the management company giving time, date, unit number
and the type of violation. This will create an official record
of the offence. The management company may write a letter to the
offender. This would become the first notice to the resident of
the violation of quiet time. The letter may notify the resident
that the next violation of quiet time will result in the resident
being requested to appear before the Fine Review Committee.
If the situation is severe,
call the Winter Park Police Department immediately to report the
incident. When the officer appears on site, advise him/her of
the offense and ask that a police report be made. Ask the officer
to give you his/her business card with the date and case number
written on it. If you wish to make an anonymous complaint, advise
the dispatcher when you call. The officer will not come to your
door.
Don’t wait until things have quieted down. That may be too
late for the officer to make a report. Call immediately!

COMMUNITY
LIVING
By Richard White
Excerpted from the Orlando Sentinel
Note: Condo and HOA Boards can be held liable for inaction.
This is why Condo and HOA Boards must enforce Rules and Regulations.
Q.
We are a small community, which operates with a good Board. The
problem is that the Board doesn’t like to enforce our deed
restrictions because everybody knows everybody, and we are afraid
to make enemies with our neighbors.
Can
a homeowner take the Board to court for not enforcing the restrictions?
A.
Yes, any owner can take the association and Board to court for
failure to enforce the documents. This is a problem with neighbors
trying to enforce violations against neighbors. Enforcement should
be in the form of a letter, not by phone or direct contact.
Violation
letters should be in third person. The letter should say something
like the following:
"Please
refer to section XYZ of our documents that says ‘no parking
on the grass.’ It was reported that you had a car parked
on the grass XYZ date. Please take action not to park on the grass
again. Failure to act may result in …
If
possible, attach a photograph to the letter and file. You should
have a Rule Committee to review infractions and mediations. The
committee should be independent from the Board and have powers
to overturn enforcement or make recommendations to the Board.
