Rules & Regulations Explained

These rules and regulations are adopted for the benefit of the home owners of the units at Belvidere Townhouse Condominiums.  They are intended to contribute to preserving a clean, attractive environment and to ensuring the peaceful enjoyment of the condominium. They are not designed to unduly interfere, restrict, or burden the use of the property. 

All  residents  and  guests  are  expected  to  abide  by  these  rules  which  are  meant  to supplement  the  provisions  of  the  Master  Deed  and  Condominium  Trust  for  the Condominium. Complaints of violations of these Rules and Regulations should be made to the Trustees and Property Management of Andover in writing. All written complaints must be signed with the unit number of the complainant.  If the Trustees feel that the complaint is justified, they will take whatever action they deem necessary.  The Trustees will notify the complainant, in writing, as to what actions have been taken.

Violations of the Rules and Regulations by a unit owner, a unit owner’s tenant, or a unit owner’s guest(s) that are brought to the attention of the Property Manager and/or the Trustees shall be dealt with according to due process:

First Offense: The unit owner shall be notified that the Trustees have been alerted to a violation of the Association’s Rules and Regulations by the unit owner (or his/her guests and/or tenants).The unit owner will be asked to take the appropriate and immediate steps to cease and desist the non-conforming behavior.

Second Offense: The unit owner shall be notified that the Trustees have been alerted to a second violation of the Association's Rules and Regulations by the owner (or her/his guests and/or tenants), and a warning will be issued (to immediately take steps to cease and desist the non-conforming behavior) or punitive action will be taken. Punitive actions may include fines.    

Third Offense: The unit owner shall be alerted that the Trustees are taking punitive action due to repeated behavior in violation of the Association's Rules and Regulations.  The unit owner will be made aware of the penalty being assessed.  Unit owners are responsible for all legal expenses related to enforcement of the Association's Rules and Regulations.

Amendment:  These Rules and Regulations may be revised in any way at any time by the Trustees as conditions warrant, provided that written communication is sent to each Owner advising them of the change.
Delegation of Powers:  The Trustees shall have the authority and duty to enforce these Rules and Regulations, but, at their discretion, may delegate such enforcement authority and duties under these Rules and Regulations to whomever they deem desirable.

We hope that you understand the purposes and the consequences for these rules and regulations, and we thank you in advance for your efforts to comply.

Thank you,
