When the community was developed in 1971, a nonprofit corporation was formed that includes all owners within Aliso Villas. You and your neighbors, who own their homes in Aliso Villas, ultimately are collective owners of the entire community. That is why it is important to take an active interest in your Homeowners' Association and to act in a
s, who own their homes in Aliso Villas, ultimately are collective owners of the entire community. That is why it is important to take an active interest in your Homeowners' Association and to act in a manner that supports cost-effective and attractive maintenance of the community.
Through monthly Association dues, the homeowners form the membership base from which all share equally the current maintenance and operating costs of the community.
In Aliso Villas we own only the space defined in our CC&R's. Everything else, including patios, decks, and garages (to which we have exclusive use) are common property, owned and controlled by the Association. Our rules and regulations help to protect us from unnecessary liability, maintain our beautiful community, preserve property values, and live peaceably side-by-side with each other.
The Declaration Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation for the Aliso Villas community specify that the elected Board of Directors have a legal authority and responsibility to establish and enforce rules and regulations necessary for the common welfare of the community, owners, residents, and their guests. The purpose of the Aliso Villas Condominium Association is to ensure that common areas and amenities are maintained in an attractive manner and are available for the enjoyment of all members. There must be a balance between the rights of individuals and the needs of the community as a whole.
It is important to remember that condominium living is subject to restrictions not applicable to single-family home ownership. Condominium living requires the sacrifices of some individual rights for the sake of the community's general welfare.
We have 424 units in Aliso Villas. This is a big responsibility. In order to live comfortably
living requires the sacrifices of some individual rights for the sake of the community's general welfare.
We have 424 units in Aliso Villas. This is a big responsibility. In order to live comfortably we must be respectful of other residents and of the Common Area property. Together, we create a pleasant environment in which to live and protect our investment. Each of us as individuals, as well as all of us together, as a community should be committed to enforcing and living by the Rules and Regulations in this manual. To that effect, the following rules, regulations, and policies have been developed in the context of providing each resident with the greatest enjoyment of the community and its facilities without infringing upon other residents' rights to quiet enjoyment of their homes and community. These rules and regulations support the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) for Aliso Villas; however, they do not encompass the entire document. You are encouraged to read the CC&Rs carefully.

Please consult your attorney or, as needed, your CPA regarding your involvement in a community corporation and the laws applicable to it.
SECURITY DISCLAIMER As much as we would like it to be, the Association can never be free of crime. For example, it is possible for someone to enter the property under false pretenses to commit crimes, for residents to commit crimes against their neighbors, for guests of residents to commit crimes, and for employees to commit crimes. As a result, the Association is not and can never be free of crime and cannot guarantee your safety or security.
While Aliso Villas uses the services of a patrol company, they merely observe and report issues of concern to the Board of Directors. They do not provide security services. You should NOT rely on the Association or the patrol company to protect you from loss or harm. You should provide for your own security by taking common sense precautions such as carrying insurance against loss; keeping your doors locked; refusing to open your door to strangers; installing a peep hole in your front door; asking workmen for identification; installing a security system; locking your car; etc.

WATER DAMAGE AND MOLD MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITY SUMMARY
t with the residential character of the neighborhood; f) and activities are conducted in conformance with all applicable government ordinances.
WATER DAMAGE AND MOLD MAINTENANCE RESPONSIBILITY SUMMARY (Adopted January 2014) The Association's maintenance and repair obligations are governed by the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions (CC&R) and California law. There are many instances that come up that are not specifically addressed in the CC&Rs. This makes it difficult for the Board and owners to know who is responsible for what. A perfect example of this is when there is water damage inside of a unit. There are always questions whether the Association or the homeowner is responsible for water damage and/or mold within a unit caused by plumbing or roof leaks.
This document is a written summary of the responsibilities of the Association and the homeowners based on the Association's CC&Rs and California law This is not a new rule or change in the governing documents; it is a policy statement and summary outlining the responsibilities of the Association and the homeowners with respect to water damage, mold, insurance and maintenance.
Owners are responsible for the repair of all utilities, including plumbing components located within their units such as the pipes under the sinks, the supply lines leading to the toilets, refrigerator, tub drains, and any other plumbing outlets within the units, as well as the hot water heater. In the event a plumbing line or component within a unit causes damage, through no fault of the Association, the owner of the unit served by the leaking line is responsible to have the pipe or component repaired and the resulting water damage 37 repaired. The owner of the unit served by the leaking line or failed component is
nit served by the leaking line is responsible to have the pipe or component repaired and the resulting water damage 37 repaired. The owner of the unit served by the leaking line or failed component is responsible for all of the repair costs, including the replacement of personal property such as carpet, cabinets, furniture, etc.
The Association will not be responsible for moisture-related damage, including mold, if it is caused by owner maintained items, such as a leaking or dripping plumbing fixture or appliance within the unit or an overflow from a sink, toilet or bath tab/shower as those are areas/items that are the owner's responsibility. Homeowners should eliminate any potential sources of moisture that could result in mold growth. All sinks, bathtubs, showers, toilets and other sources of water within the units should be inspected for leaks and maintained on a regular basis. In the event of an interior leak or overflow, the source of the leak should be repaired and the areas dried Within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold growth. Please note that owners who fail to carry insurance to cover damage from water leaks are still responsible for resulting damage. They would be personally liable for the costs incurred if they do not: carry insurance to cover said liability. The Association will not pay for damage just because an owner does not carry insurance.
In the event a water or sewer line located within the common area causes damage, through no fault of the Association, the owner or resident, the Association's contractor will repair the line at the Association's expense. If owners' units are damaged, they are responsible for water damage repairs and for repair costs to their units and personal
Association's contractor will repair the line at the Association's expense. If owners' units are damaged, they are responsible for water damage repairs and for repair costs to their units and personal property.
