NEW LEASING STANDARDS
Dear Member, We continue to strive together to seek to promote the safety of all Owners and Residents within our communities, since a safe and thriving community is a paramount goal. The implementation of standards for leasing property within MetroWest is necessary in order to define the character of the community by maintaining low crime rates, assuring the safety of residents, preserving property values and generally maintaining the intended quality, character and image of the community. Therefore, please see attached, the adopted Leasing Standards that all rentals will need to comply with. Please contact MetroWest Master Association at 407-601-5995 or via email at [email protected] with any questions. Please also find attached a sample Leasing Standard Packet provided to help educate and promote compliance of this new policy. Please ensure to review for full and complete compliance. Please watch for upcoming Crime Free certification classes.
