| Community Rules …
Designed to Improve Our Residents' Quality of Life!
A community based on rules makes life easier for us all! At Degas Manor, Monet Manor and Monet Place we believe that our rules give us all (residents and employees) a clear view of what is expected and acceptable in our communities. When we all know and live by the same rules it improves the quality of life for all of us.
The following rules and regulations have been adopted by Management in order to promote the convenience, and welfare of all residents; to preserve and protect the owner's property; and to make a fair distribution of services and facilities. These rules and regulations constitute a part of the Rental Agreement. The Management Company reserves the right to amend these rules and regulations upon issuing a thirty (30) day notice of said intent.
1. Maintenance is a priority in our community! Residents must report in writing any needed repairs or problems in their apartment as soon as the ‘problem’ occurs. In the event of emergency repairs (broken pipes, stopped-up toilets or sinks, roof leaks), the resident must notify by telephone the problem to 923-2797 within 1 hour of the initial discovery of the occurrence. The Resident must do everything in his power to reduce damage to the unit and his personal property (i.e., attempt to dry the carpet, clean up standing water, and move personal items away from the problem).
2. Residents must report in writing any detection of pests (i.e., roaches, ants, mice) within 24-hours of the initial discovery. The Owner/Management commits to contacting the pest control company with 24-hour of the Resident's written notification.
3. Residents must pay rent no later than the 1st day of each month. Any payments made after 5 p.m. on the 3rd day of the month are considered ‘late’ and the Resident will be assessed a late charge in the amount of 5% of the monthly rent. If the rent is not received by 5 p.m. on the 5th day of the month, the Resident will be served with a five-day notice to pay rent or quit. If the rent is not received by 5 p.m. on the 10th day of the month, the Owner will file ‘Eviction’ proceedings. If ‘Eviction’ proceedings are filed, the Resident will be responsible for all legal fees incurred.
The Owner understands that from time-to-time emergencies may occur which will result in late payment. If the Resident knows he will have a problem paying his rent for the upcoming month, he should speak to the Manager and make payment arrangements before the 1st of the month.
4. We are a ‘pet friendly’ community! Residents are allowed one pet (20-lbs. limitation) per apartment. The Resident agrees to abide by all requirements in the ‘Pet Criteria’ and ‘Pet Agreement portion of his lease.
The Resident, Resident’s employees, guests, invitees may not bring pets on the property. ‘Pet sitting of friends, relatives and others by Residents is not permitted
