www.cliffhousecondos.com

Rules are applicable to owners, residents and guests

POLICIES IN GENERAL: Our Board of Directors of the Council of Co-Owners (Board) has adopted the following rules, in agreement with the Cliff House Mission Statement, “to help maximize enjoyment, maintain values and assure the continued aesthetic beauty of our community". The rules apply to all owners and their families, tenants and guests. The rules should automatically be a part of each lease if you lease your unit to others (even if they are not attached). Each owner is responsible for making sure his tenants have a copy of the rules and follow them. If a tenant violates these rules, the unit owner may be subject to a fine. The Board of Directors encourages you to ask your neighbors to follow the rules.

CITY AND COUNTY ORDINANCES: All persons must comply with all ordinances of the City of Corpus Christi, and County of Nueces, as well as these policies.

COMMUNICATIONS: Please direct any common area repair requests, complaints or rule violations to:

(361) 880-5870

Cell Phone: (361) 877-0218

Pager: (361) 902-0424 After Hours

Please put your requests in writing. This avoids delay and telephone tag problems. You are encouraged to leave your suggestions at the office or drop them through the mail slot in the door.

ENFORCEMENT: The rules will be strictly enforced. If the rules are violated by any occupant or guest, the owner will be responsible for corrective action, damages and fines.

These rules follow policies from the Declaration of Condominium and by action of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors reserves the right to change these rules without notice.

Policies Applicable to Everyone

1. Security, safety and lighting: Neither the Council nor the Council's management provides or warrants security. Each occupant is responsible for his own security and that of his family and guests. All occupants have door tags. Make sure not to let anyone have access that you do not personally know. Occupants are requested to immediately report common area lighting problems or hazardous conditions to the Council office. Occupants are requested to immediately report any Common Facility problem to the Council office. The Council cannot and does not check exterior lighting on a daily basis. The Council generally must rely on owners and residents to notify the Council office when lights are burned out or insufficient in some manner. Clever criminals can defeat almost any kind of crime deterrent. Occupants must assume that electronic or mechanical devices may malfunction from time to time.

2. Items on patios and balconies: The only items which may be stored temporarily or permanently on private patios or balconies which can be viewed from the streets or common areas are the following: outdoor lounges and lawn chairs; exterior tables; decorative plants in hanging baskets or pots. Nothing may be hung on the railings. No antennas are allowed. Items stored on the patios must not appear to be in disrepair. No barbecue grills are allowed on the balconies. Total weight exceeding 200 pounds is prohibited on balconies when allowed to stand for a period of more than one week. All other property must be kept inside the dwelling including towels, bathing suits, mops, brooms, tools, carpeting, boxes, plastic bags, beverages, furniture, automobile equipment, and like items. No decorative lighting may be placed on the balcony. All property stored in violation of this rule may be removed and disposed of with prior notice by any management representative. American or Texas flags may be flown on holidays, be it a state or Federal holiday. This is provided that the flag is in good repair and properly affixed via a flag mount to the front railing on either side. Flags shall be removed at sundown in accordance with proper protocol. Holiday lights may be displayed only from inside units from the windows, not ever on the balcony or any exterior. Lights may be displayed from Thanksgiving until January 1. All decorations shall be conservative in nature and not distracting from the overall appearance of the building. See also Item 18 ‘Nuisances.’

3. Storage of property in common areas: No property may be stored temporarily or permanently on sidewalks, stair landings, hallways, parking lots or other common areas other than items owned by the Council that are available for the use of all occupants. Garage sales and estate sales are not allowed. Council employees, service personnel and Council Board members may remove and throw away, without prior notice, any property stored in violation of this rule. If a resident is in violation of this rule and does not comply with a request to remove items which are causing the violation, said items may be removed and disposed of with prior notice by any management representative.

4. Basement Storage: Individual storage cells are located in the basement and are assigned by the office. Each resident is responsible for supplying a lock to secure the space. Only household goods may be stored in this area. No inflammable's, hazardous substances, harmful goods or equipment is allowed.

5. Property inside dwellings: Blinds and drapes must be in good repair, installed properly. The Council has the right and the responsibility to control the visual attractiveness of the property. No window covering or draperies in disrepair nor tape or foil shall be placed in or next to any window or sliding glass door. This includes the right to require removal of objects which are visible from the common area or from the streets and which detract from the property's appearance.

6. Grocery Carts: Wire grocery carts have been supplied by the Council and are located in the hallway by the rear entrance. These are for the convenience of the residents. It is common courtesy to return these to their original location as quickly as possible so others may share the use. The carts are not intended for contractors use. The carts can be made available to contractors for a fee of $100.00 per day (12 hours) by prior arrangement with management. This fee is payable in advance. Unauthorized use will constitute “theft of property" and will be treated as such. Contractors that are not in compliance will be barred from working in this building, and fines will accumulate against the owner hiring said contractor.

7. Laundry Room: Coin operated washing machines and dryers have been installed in a separate laundry room for the use and convenience of the residents only. The facilities should be left clean in accordance with the general cleanliness requirements at Cliff House.

8. No clothes drying outside dwellings: No clothes, towels or other items may be hung anywhere outside, i.e., on patios, patio railings, balcony railings, etc. Clothes or other items must be dried inside the dwelling or in the laundry room dryers. Items being dried outside in violation of this rule may be removed and disposed of with prior notice by any management representative.

9. Entry areas and sidewalks: Feeding bowls for animals may not be left outside since they attract pests and stray animals and compound 'clean-up’ problems. Entry areas, walkways, steps, hallways, stairs and landings that are limited common elements shall be kept clean and neat by the owners using them. Furniture is only allowed in the elevator alcove.

10. Trash: Trash, rubbish or debris shall not be left or deposited, even temporarily, on any common areas or balconies. All of such refuse must be placed in receptacles designated and approved by the Board. Trash is picked up on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, weekly and is removed from the trash bin in your kitchen through the access in the hallway. If you have excess trash you must place the extra bag(s) in the hallway in the AM on the designated trash pickup days. If the trash bin has been eliminated through re-modeling or for any other reason, then it becomes the responsibility of the resident (owner or tenant) to properly dispose of the trash in the dumpster - not in common area receptacles. Violations of this rule will result in a fine of $25.00 for each violation. Large discarded items (furniture, appliances, mattresses, tires, Christmas trees, etc.) must be hauled off the premises by the owner/resident. Such items will not be picked up by the trash disposal service. When renovation work is performed inside a unit (new tile, carpeting, plumbing fixtures, cabinets, etc.) either arrangements should be made with the contractor to haul this refuse off the premises or the owner/resident should haul it off himself. No amount of this type of refuse should be placed in the trash dumpster.

11. Animals: No animals are allowed without Board of Director's written permission. No animals are allowed on the property except that owners or their tenants may have: (I) not more than one dog or two cats. Exceptions to this rule may be made on a case-by-case basis by the Board of Directors. The official Board minutes, letter or email from the President of the Board shall constitute this written permission. Dogs shall be no larger than ‘medium’ size. This is accepted generally as ‘knee high’ in height compared to an average adult. No animal shall be allowed to make an unreasonable amount of noise or to become a nuisance, and no domestic animals not on a leash will be allowed on the property other than in the unit of its owner. No animal may be boarded for hire or remuneration on the property, and no kennels or breeding operation will be allowed. No animal shall be allowed to run at large. Animals which are permitted shall be kept on a leash while in the Common Area. Leashes may not be tied to objects visible from the street and must be held by a person who can control the animal at all times. The owner of a unit where an animal is housed has the responsibility to immediately clean up after such animals have defecated in Common Areas or on outside balconies, patios, enclosed courtyards or streets. If an animal or unit owner is in violation of these restrictions, the Declarant or Board may remove the animal from the property and place the animal with the local humane society or proper governmental authority. When walking a dog, occupants should attempt to use the large freight elevator only. Occupants should be courteous when entering the elevator with a dog. If the elevator is occupied, be courteous and wait for the next elevator as some people are afraid of or may not like dogs. Dogs may enter and exit the building through only the back door (west) and the side door (south). The front door may not ever be used to enter or exit the building with a dog. This allows an entry and exit for occupants and guest who may not like or be afraid of dogs.

12. Liability for animals: The animal owner and the condominium unit owner are jointly liable to all other owners and their respective families, guests, tenants and invitee's for injury and all damage caused by any animals brought or kept on the property by them or their guests. Owners agree, for themselves and their respective families, guests, tenants and invitee's, that neither the Board members nor the Council shall have any liability for any injury or damage caused by any animal brought or kept upon the property, with or without the permission of the Board. Dogs may not defecate anywhere on the Project except in designated areas. Used cat litter must be disposed of only in proper trash receptacles. It may not be dumped in flowerbeds because the ammonia will kill the vegetation. Used cat litter many not be flushed down a drain or down the commode. Owners must keep their dwellings in a sanitary condition and free from fleas, animal parasites and noxious odors. Owners shall be liable for damage caused to common facilities by their animals or animals of their tenants or guests. Animal defecation must be immediately removed from common areas if 'accidents’ occur while walking the dog. Animal feeding bowl may not be left outside. The Board may require permanent removal of any animal when the animal or its owner has repeatedly violated these rules or the animal has become objectionable in the opinion of the Board. This includes aggressive behavior and mannerisms. Aggressive behavior and mannerisms includes growling or lunging. Barking or yelping alone shall not constitute aggressive behavior, provided the animal’s owner maintains ‘positive control’ of the dog via a leash. Should an animal receive five (5) written complaints within a six-month period for excessive barking, aggressive behavior or any other nuisance or dangerous actions, the Board of Directors may require the animal removed. The occupant (and unit owner if the unit is rented) will be notified in writing of the Board’s intent to have the animal removed. The animal’s owner shall have the opportunity to request, in writing, an opportunity to address the grievances within two calendar weeks of the notice to remove. The Board may meet with the owner and the animal in order to make a final determination of the animal. The Board’s decision shall be final. These are merely provided as guidelines, it should be noted that the Board shall be the sole and final decision authority regarding pets in the building.

43. Security device requirements if you rent your dwelling: As an owner, if you rent your dwelling, a special statute provides that you must re-key at every tenant turnover and you must install and maintain certain kinds of security devices in your dwelling.
