RULES AND REGULATIONS

VICKERY HILLS CONDOMINIUM

 

These Rules and Regulations are adopted for the benefit of Owners of Units at VICKERY HILLS CONDOMINIUM (the "Condominium"). They are also intended to protect and enhance the value of all property at the Condominium. They are designed to not unduly interfere with, restrict, or burden the use of property.

 All residents and guests are expected to abide by these rules.  They are meant to supplement and/or clarify the provisions of the Master Deed and the Declaration of Trust for the Condominium, and as such, they will not merely duplicate the wording of the applicable sections of the Master Deed or the Declaration of Trust.

 

As a reminder, the following provisions of the master deed are conditions of our zoning approval and are not subject to change by the association.

 

1.       GENERAL

a.    Nothing shall be done or kept in any Unit, Limited Common Area or Common Area, which will increase the rate of insurance of the Condominium. No Unit Owner shall permit anything to be done or kept which will result in the cancellation of insurance on the Condominium, or which would be in violation of any law. No use shall be made of the Common Areas, Limited Common Areas or Common Facilities other than the uses permitted in the Master Deed, the Declaration of Trust, these Rules and Regulations, or by the Trustees.
