Approval is deemed granted if no response within 45 days. The committee may also charge a review fee and require a bond.
- Leasing & rentals: Leases must be in writing for a term of at least 30 days. Owners must provide tenant names and contact info to the association before lease start. Tenants must agree to comply with all governing documents; violations can lead to common area use suspension and eviction by the owner.
