HAWAIIAN GARDENS PHASE VIRULES AND REGULATIONS

INTRODUCTION

The social success of a condominium community depends in large part on the rules, regulations andrestrictions that govern how residents are expected to conduct themselves. Typically, the Declarationof Condominium and its amendments subject all condo unit owners to general covenants, while theBy-Laws and Rules and Regulations provide specific guides for day to day living. Without theserestrictions and a means to enforce them, the community living experience could become chaoticindeed. Your Board of Governors has adopted the following rules and regulations to assure theenjoyment and tranquility of all persons living in the community.

These Rules and Regulations do not supersede or change the Declaration of Condominium and itsamendments or By-Laws in any manner; but they are equally enforceable under the law.

Owners shall be responsible for their tenants’ and/or all other occupants’ actions or misconduct andadherence to the Rules and Regulations of the Association. Each owner shall be responsible forproviding their tenant’s and/or any other kind of occupants with a current copy of the AssociationRules and Regulations.

The monthly maintenance assessments by the Association on common property will depend, in largemeasure, on the care and consideration exercised by each and every owner, their guests and any otherkind of occupants of their apartment unit. If the maintenance costs are high and the current budget isnot sufficient to meet these costs, association dues will have to be increased accordingly.

Water is master metered and paid with Association monies: water represents a major expenditurefor the phase and apartment unit owners are encouraged to conserve and minimize waterconsumption at all times.

INQUIRIES (complaints) shall be made or VIOLATIONS shall be reported as the case may be TOTHE PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY or the President of the Board of Governors. If therepresentative of the property management company is not available, complaints shall not be takendirectly to the Directors of the Building or to the Members of the Board of Governors.

The Rules and Regulations herein may be changed or added to at any time by the Board ofGovernors.

Any consent granted hereunder may be revoked by the Board.

RECEIPT OF THIS DOCUMENT SHALL CONSTITUTE FORMAL NOTICE NO ADDITIONALWARNINGS WILL BE GIVEN.
