Point Pleasant Beach: House Rules

Welcome to The Beach

To ensure the maximum enjoyment of The Beach by all residents and maintain a pleasant, secure atmosphere, the Board of Trustees have prepared this ?Residents Guide of Rules and Regulations? for residents and their guests to follow. These Rules and Regulations have been adopted by the Board of Trustees in accordance with the By-Laws.

The most important aspect to remember is that The Beach is a condominium and not a private residence. Remember that all areas outside of your condominium unit are common areas for the use and enjoyment of everyone and are not an extension of your individual property.

It requires the help and cooperation of everyone to maintain the complex and thereby enhance and maintain the value of your investment.

Very truly yours,

Board of Trustees
The Beach Condominium Association, Inc.

ROLES, RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
Board members are elected by the owners to serve as policy makers of the Association. Service on the Board is voluntary and the terms of office are directed by the By-Laws, which were adopted by all Association members when the condo Association was first formed.

The Board is responsible for the fiscal affairs of the Association, and therefore its function includes the determination of and collection of all maintenance and other fees and the expenditure of those fees for all necessary services. It is also responsible for the management of the premises.

Additionally, the Board?s duties include establishing budgets, setting rules and regulations, hiring personnel, as well as contracting with service providers, such as attorneys, accountants and management companies. In other words, the Board deals with both long-term policy issues, such as legal disputes and governing policies, and day-to-day issues such as pool hours and making sure the garbage is collected.

While as a matter of policy many of the larger issues are presented to all Association members at periodic general membership meetings for input (and approval if resulting in a change of the By-Laws), the Board members meet as required to make routine decisions regarding the operation and administration of the Association.

Owners are welcome to attend Board meetings. If you are interested or would like to be heard by the Board, please contact The Management Company for the date, time, and place of the next scheduled meeting.

Volunteers are always welcome. There is always a need for residents to become involved in the operation of a condominium. If you are interested, please contact a Board Member or the Management Company.

ROLES, RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES
MANAGEMENT COMPANY
While the Board sets the overall policy, a company is retained to carry out the day-to-day management duties of The Beach. This service is contracted annually with a company that is found by the Board to be best able to provide the kinds of services that The Beach requires.

The range of service provided by the Management Company depends upon the terms of the contract executed between the Association and the Management Company. In general, the duties include billing and collecting monthly maintenance fees, keeping the financial records of the Association, providing guidance to the Board in its preparation of the budget, coordination with the Association?s accountant and attorney, managing the accounts payable, and hiring subcontractors for the necessary maintenance and repair projects.

The Management Company is not responsible for routine repairs, nor dealing with non-emergency problems confined to individual units. However, if something goes wrong in a unit that could affect the neighboring units, i.e., gas or water leak, the Management Company is empowered to enter the unit and deal with the problem. If emergency repairs are required, the Management Company will contract for such repairs and then make the determination as to whether the cost is the owner?s or the Association?s. Although not responsible for individual unit problems, the Management Company can be very helpful in providing guidance when problems arise.

ROLES, RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES
OWNERS
Ultimately, owners bear the greatest responsibility for the smooth operation of The Beach. That responsibility begins with each individual unit.

Owners are responsible for everything that goes on in their unit, including its maintenance, the conduct of tenants, the behavior of guests and the adherence of all parties to the rules and regulations of the Association. This applies whether the owner is present or not. Owners are
urged not to allow their children under the age of 19 to use their unit without parental supervision.
Owners are responsible for knowing the rules, regulations and operating policies of The Beach. They are responsible for attending Association meetings, paying their maintenance fees in a timely fashion, and being involved in the running of the complex. That could mean involvement in the Board of Trustees or a committee, or it can be as simple as picking up litter, sweeping a walkway, or helping a guest learn the rules. Altogether, it adds to a spirit that enhances the investment made by all owners.

Those owners who rent, carry the largest responsibility. Not being there or personally knowing your tenant is no excuse for shirking the burden. By signing a lease, owners are assuming responsibility. Owners must start carrying it out by making sure a copy of the lease is filed with the Management Company. Owners are also responsible for making sure that tenants understand the rules, a copy of which must accompany each and every lease.

Owners are reminded that insurance coverage is highly recommended for personal property, additions and alterations, and other owner insurable items as may be necessary including, but not limited to, coverage for losses due to water, flood, fire and wind damage.

ROLES, RESPONSIBILITIES AND DUTIES
TENANTS
Tenants are responsible for knowing and abiding by the rules and regulations of The Beach.

Tenants are also responsible for informing their guests of the rules and regulations and assuring their compliance.

Tenants must cooperate with the Management Company and/or other contractors when access to the unit is required for repairs, insect control and other necessary functions.

Tenants should carry appropriate insurance.

All residents, tenants and owners, must cooperate in making sure the community operates as such. Community living requires the cooperation of everyone, and though there may seem to be many rules and regulations, they are necessary to assure a quiet, comfortable atmosphere in which to live.

GENERAL
Residents will be held financially responsible for damage, injury, destruction or other expenses caused to common property, pool facilities and/or other units by themselves, their children, guests, tenants or pets.

No unit shall be used for any purpose other than as for a single family residence or dwelling. This is not to be interpreted to prohibit an area of a unit being used as a home office providing:

1.No signs of any type are displayed.
2.No additional vehicle or personal traffic is generated beyond that normal for a residential unit.
3.No provisions of the Rules and Regulations or By-Laws are violated.
4.No zoning ordinances are violated.

GENERAL
No unit shall be rented by owner or otherwise utilized for transient or hotel purposes, which shall be defined as rental for any period less than 4 weeks unless otherwise approved by the Board if Trustees.
