to comply with the rules of the community, when they occupy such properties
rather than others, and property owners are better able to control their
non-tenant occupants; and

interest, including for reasons of security and safety, for the Association to

PROPERTY OCCUPANCY
REGISTRATION, SCREENING
& FINANCIAL SECURITY POLICY.
Registration
The
owners of each residential property of W.L.E. shall register, with the
Association, all existing and prospective occupants of the property and shall
identify their relationship to the property owners, and furnish such other
information to the Association as required by the Board. For each property,
each time that a new occupancy or tenancy occurs, or any renewal of the then
existing occupancy/tenancy occurs, under a lease or other agreement with the
owner and otherwise, or any of the prospective occupants or the occupancy of
the house will change, then re-registration shall be immediately required.
Screening
If
any of the properties will be occupied by persons other than their owners,
their immediate family members, or intermittent, short-term guests, (whether as
Tenant Members and otherwise), then such persons, as prospective occupants of
the properties, shall be subject to pre-screening and occupancy approval by the
Association and the property owner for decision and action by the property
owner. If the property owner is a non-natural person, such as a corporation or
similar type entity, or other organization, then the chief executive officer or
other natural person of equivalent rank/title shall be deemed the property
owner for determining property occupancy for purposes of application of this
policy.
The
property owners will have the prospective occupants of their properties furnish
certain information (which may include the following) about such occupants to
the owner, who will furnish a copy to the Association.
·
Their current and former occupation & employer, and the duration of
such occupation/employment;
·
Their former residence (including location) within the last two (2)
years, the period of residency thereat, and the names, addresses, and phone
numbers of the property owners (including landlords or their managing agents)
for such residents;
·
Proof of vehicle insurance for vehicles owned or operated by them;
·
References of three (3) other persons (familiarly unrelated to them)
whom are familiar with their history, character, reputation, and other
attributes, including the names, addresses, and phone numbers of such
references and a description of such persons’ relationship to them.
·
Proof of renter’s liability insurance or similar liability insurance
coverage for the non-owner occupants/renters of the house.
As part of this pre-screening process, the
Association may inquire into the foregoing information about the prospective
occupants, including by contacting former landlords and neighbors of their
former residences and others for information, and the Association may interview
the prospective occupants. This process may be completely or partially
conducted by contracting agents of the Association. The property owners shall
deliver a completed authorization form signed by the prospective occupants
consenting to the Association’s inquiries of others and the release of
information from such others about the prospective occupants, including release
of their credit history and the foregoing information.
If
the Association rejects the approval of the prospective occupant, the property
owner will be notified in writing and if the owner still allows his property to
be occupied by or rented to such rejected occupant, it is done at the owners’
sole discretion and they shall bear the risk of all fines, sanctions, WLE
property damage caused by such occupants, etc.
The property owners shall be subject to Association
disciplinary action and any resulting fines and other sanctions (including
denial of community & Association privileges) for any violations of this
policy or non-compliance with the Association’s rules and regulations,
including, for allowance of property occupancy and the occupants’ access/use of
the common areas & recreational facilities before Association occupancy
approval.
Any information requirements may be waived or
modified by the Association. Any waiver or modification decision of the
committee may be appealed, in writing, to the Board within fifteen (15) days
from notice thereof.
All information and reports about the prospective
occupants, and the proceedings and decisions of the Board for the Association
will be private and confidential amongst the Association (its officials,
management staff & other agents), the owners of the subject property, and
the prospective occupants thereof; other Association members shall have no
access to such information.
Security
For each property subject to occupancy screening by
this policy, the property owner shall have funds deposited with the Association
for the duration of the house occupancy in an amount of $1,200.00. The
effective date for this deposit requirement will be April 1, 2004 or the date
of the occupancy change or a new occupancy under a lease renewal and otherwise,
whichever comes later. The Association shall hold the refundable deposits in a
non-interest bearing bank account.
This security deposit shall be liquidated for fines
imposed or assessed against the offending lot and its property owners for rule
violations by the property owners or occupants, and for damages to any of the
common areas/facilities of WLE and Association property attributed to them. If
the deposit balance is, by liquidation, reduced to less than 40% of the full
amount, at any time during the approved house occupancy, the deposit shall be
replenished to the full-required amount within ten (10) days from notice
thereof. The Association may increase the deposit after three (3) infractions
of this policy or the Association’s bylaws or rules/regulations by the property
owner or occupants of the property.
Miscellaneous
Any required notice shall be effective upon mailing
to the addresses furnished to the Association.
The Board of Directors for the Association shall
establish rules and procedures and forms and other requirements for and as part
of this policy, and any fees for implementing the policy and its procedures,
and shall have the discretion to construe, apply, and otherwise implement and
effectuate this policy.
For purposes of the policy, wherever the Association
is hereby authorized or empowered or required to act, do something, make
decisions or receive anything, or the “Association” is referenced herein
(unless the context is explicitly otherwise), it shall mean and refer to its
Board of Directors and its committees or designees and not the membership.
