(In the event you do not receive these items, you will be charged an admin fee for them) New owners must complete and submit an "Emergency Information Form" to the On-Site Manager within 72 hours after a new owner or tenant takes possession of the unit. THIS INFORMATION MUST BE KEPT CURRENT. (Form is provided in the back of this handbook or can be obtained from the On-Site Manager) (Per CC&R's Article V, Section 2) BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETINGS The Redwoods Homeowners Association regular Board meetings are held on the 3rd Thursday of each month in the Redwoods clubhouse, provided, however, the Board may change the date in its discretion.

ons and questions. The Board meeting will commence promptly at 7:00 P.M. Homeowners may stay for this portion of the meeting, and the Board, in its discretion, may permit tenants to attend the meeting however, they may not participate in the discussion, unless called upon. This allows the Board of Directors to conduct the business of the Association. If a homeowner has an issue that he/she wishes the Board to address during the meeting, the homeowner is requested to address the matter to the Board in writing, via Team Property Management. (Address is located in front of this booklet) All requests must be submitted 10 days prior to the meeting and the letter will be placed in the monthly board package and on the agenda. MASTER INSURANCE POLICY "Each owner shall provide insurance on his personal property and upon all other property and improvements within his unit..." (Per CC&R's, Article VIII, Section 3) As a homeowner, you are responsible for insuring the contents of your home and your personal liability. It is imperative that each unit owner have a Unit Owner Policy providing coverage for personal property (your contents), personal liability, improvements, wall and floor coverings, loss assessment and any gaps in coverage. The Associations insurance deductible is $10,000. Each unit owner should know and understand that you may be responsible to pay for damage or loss to your property that is within the Associations $10,000 policy deductible. The Association Master Policy covers the structure of the building (From the wall OUTWARD) and DOES NOT COVER "personal contents" or "interior repairs" from water leaks. There is a deductible of $10,000 which means the first $10,000 in damages is not covered by
lding (From the wall OUTWARD) and DOES NOT COVER "personal contents" or "interior repairs" from water leaks. There is a deductible of $10,000 which means the first $10,000 in damages is not covered by insurance, and that the homeowner will be responsible for covering the first $10,000 in damages should a claim be filed through the Association Master Policy. Please consult with your insurance agent. In addition, each homeowner is required to have their tenant(s) (I.E. Renters) have their own insurance policy to cover "personal contents." *** NOTE: MONTHLY ASSOCIATION DUES YOUR ASSOCIATION DUES ARE DUE ON THE 1ST DAY OF EACH MONTH, WHETHER YOU RECEIVE A BILLING STATEMENT OR NOT. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE YOUR DUES ARE PAID ON TIME. Prompt payments of assessments by all owners is critical to the financial health of the Association and to the enhancement to the property values of our homes. Your Board of Directors takes very seriously its obligations under the CC&R's and the California Civil Code to enforce the members' obligation to pay their monthly assessment. These practices shall remain in effect until such time as they may be changed, modified or amended. Each owner of a condominium shall be responsible for the monthly assessment fees to The Redwoods. Any assessment NOT PAID within fifteen (15) days after the date on which it becomes due, shall be assessed a late charge. If non-payment continues, the Board of Directors have several options: (Per CC&R's, Article VI, Section 11) 1. Revoke Privileges (Parking and Gym Access) 2. Collections 3. Enforcement by Suit (Sued in Court) 4. Enforcement by Lien 5. Foreclosure The Board of Directors holds the right to "suspend the rights of use and enjoyment of the

Foreclosure The Board of Directors holds the right to "suspend the rights of use and enjoyment of the recreational facilities located on the common area..." for any period during which a payment of any assessment against such member remains delinquent." (Per CC&R's Article III, Section 1(f)) Homeowners are responsible to provide Team Property Management notice of any change of billing information in a timely manner. A late fee of $10.00 or 10% (whichever is greater) will be levied if payment is not received by the 15th of each month. RENTING OR LEASING 1. All homeowners are required to inform their tenant(s) that they SHALL be subject to the enforcement of the Association's CC&R's and Rules and Regulations. Failure of the tenant to comply with the Rules and Regulations will result in fines assessed to the owner of the unit. Furthermore, it is not the Board of Directors, nor the management company's responsibility to ensure that the new tenants(s) receive a copy of the Association's Rules and Regulations. The owner of the unit must provide his/her tenant with a CURRENT copy of the Redwoods Rules and Regulations. 2. Renting or leasing of any owners' unit for transient or hotel purposes (which is defined to be for a period of less than thirty (30) days) IS PROHIBITED. No owner may lease less than the entire unit. No Airbnb or similar short-term vacation rentals is allowed in the Redwoods. All leases must be in writing and must state that they are subject to the provisions of the Associations CC&R's and other governing documents, and that a lessee's failure to comply with the terms of such documents shall be a default under the lease. (CC&R's Article IV, Section 13)
ons of the Associations CC&R's and other governing documents, and that a lessee's failure to comply with the terms of such documents shall be a default under the lease. (CC&R's Article IV, Section 13) 3. The Board requires that each homeowner submit to the On-Site Manager, a completed "Emergency Information Form" in case an emergency should occur. This form is due to the On- Site Manager and must be kept current. (Form is provided in the back of this hand book or can be obtain from the On-Site Manager) 4.

COMMITTEES Committees are an active group of homeowners and/or tenants who can contribute to the Association without actually being a board member. It is a way in which you can participate in the affairs of the community and be part of the decision making process. Homeowners and tenants are encouraged to participate in the following committees: ARCHITECTURAL RULES AND REGULATIONS NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH PARKING LANDSCAPE SOCIAL DOGGIE DNA MAILBOXES If you have any problems with your mailbox lock or with mail delivery, contact the Spurgeon Station Post Office at 615 North Bush Street, Santa Ana, 92701 714-973-7721. REPAIR POLICY All water leaks must be reported immediately to minimize damage. (Even if the water leak is not causing damage to your property) HOMEOWNERS ARE REQUIRED TO CARRY INSURANCE TO COVER ALL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM A WATER LEAK. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILTY TO BE FAMILIAR WITH YOUR HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE POLICY AND WHAT IT COVERS. DON'T BE UNDERINSURED!
E REQUIRED TO CARRY INSURANCE TO COVER ALL DAMAGES RESULTING FROM A WATER LEAK. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILTY TO BE FAMILIAR WITH YOUR HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE POLICY AND WHAT IT COVERS. DON'T BE UNDERINSURED! If the cause of the leak is a homeowners responsibility (toilet, dishwasher, broken faucet, exposed pipes under sinks, etc.) the unit owner in which the leak occurred is responsible for all damages to the common area and/or any unit as a result of the water leak. Make sure you have proper coverage! * Do not shut off the water to your building! It will affect other residents. Call the management first. There shall be no work started PRIOR to 7:30 am and no work AFTER 7 PM. The Board has adopted a separate policy regarding the handling of water intrusion damages, which is attached to these Rules and Regulations. COMMUNITY PATROL SERVICES The Redwoods Homeowners Association contracts with a "Patrol Service" which does not provide security services for the protection of persons or property. The duties of our patrol service are limited to enforcing the HOA Rules and Regulations, monitoring our parking and receiving reports of violations of the HOA governing documents. We hope our patrol service provides some deterrence to crime. However, no matter what steps we take, the Association can never be completely safe and secure. For example, it is possible for someone to enter the property under false pretenses to commit a crime, for residents to commit crimes against their own neighbors and for guests of residents to commit crimes. As a result, we can never be completely free of crime and the Association cannot guarantee your safety or security. Accordingly, you should not rely on the Association to protect you from loss or
mes. As a result, we can never be completely free of crime and the Association cannot guarantee your safety or security. Accordingly, you should not rely on the Association to protect you from loss or harm. Instead, you should provide your own security by taking common sense precautions such as always being aware of your surroundings (situational awareness), keeping your doors locked, refusing to open the door to strangers, asking workman for their identification, installing a security system, locking your car and carrying insurance against loss of property and keeping your valuables out of site. Get to know your neighbors and watch out for each other. Report any suspicious activity to the Santa Ana Police Department immediately. Call 911. HOMEOWNERS RESPONSIBILITY FOR GUESTS Homeowners are responsible for inappropriate conduct by their guests. The homeowner will be held responsible for any damage a guest may cause and any violations of the Associations governing documents. The Board, in its discretion, may determine to prohibit such nonresident guest from the common and recreational areas within the complex. And the Board may impose limitations and restrictions on future access. In addition, the Board, in its discretion, may levy a fine against the homeowner in an amount up to $1000 for any offense by their family member, guests, invitees, tenants, leases, or any other person residing in the Owner's unit. (Per CC&R's, Article III, Section 1(f)) INTERIOR OF UNITS "Each owner shall have the exclusive right to paint, repaint, tile, wax, or refinish and decorate the inner surfaces of the walls, ceiling, floors, windows and doors of their unit." (CC&R's Article IV, Section 3) No one is authorized to add a bedroom or bathroom or shower to their existing unit. (Example: If

THE REDWOOD HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION POLICY REGARDING WATER INTRUSION DAMAGES, TENDER OF INSURANCE CLAIMS, AND INDIVIDUAL OWNER RESPONSIBILITY FOR COST OF REPAIRS AND PAYMENT OF APPLICABLE DEDUCTIBLE Adopted May 16),2013 From time to time questions arise as to whether the Association or the Unit Owner is responsible for water damage occurring within a unit and who is responsible for controlling the repair of such
2013 From time to time questions arise as to whether the Association or the Unit Owner is responsible for water damage occurring within a unit and who is responsible for controlling the repair of such damages. Therefore, the following summary outlines the responsibilities of the Association and the Owners with respect to water damage and insurance issues. This Policy replaces any policy previously adopted by a past Board of Directors concerning the matters addressed herein. 1. Association's Control of Repair of Common Area Components. The Association shall repair damages resulting from water intrusion and/or mold contamination to the Common Area components and interior of any individual Unit caused by the failure of a Common Area component, subject to the limitations set forth in Paragraphs 2 & 3 below. Each Owner has a duty to notify the Association's management company as soon as the Owner becomes aware of a problem with a Common Area component, such as a roof leak, sewage blockage, slab leak, or leaking plumbing line, and the like, that may be causing damage to the Common Area elements of the building and/or the Owner's Unit. Owners who lease their Unit are responsible to ensure their tenants report Common Area or other water intrusion problems immediately to the Owner and the Association. 2. Owner's Obligation To Maintain Insurance. Article VIII, Section 3, of the Association's CC&Rs provides that Owners have a duty to maintain insurance on their personal property and upon all other property and improvements within the Owner's Unit; except as to insurance the Association carries. The Owner's insurance must contain waivers of subrogation of claims against the Association
all other property and improvements within the Owner's Unit; except as to insurance the Association carries. The Owner's insurance must contain waivers of subrogation of claims against the Association and its Board of Directors and officers, and all other Owners. Further, if any loss intended to be covered by the Association's insurance occurs and the proceeds payable thereunder shall be reduced by reason of the Owner's insurance, such Owner shall assign the proceeds of such insurance to the Association, to the extent of such reduction, for application to the damages. As discussed in more detail below, the Association's insurance coverage is subject to a $10,000.00 deductible. Therefore, Owners must maintain contents insurance coverage for their personal property items and other property and improvements within their Unit to cover a loss or damages that may arise from water intrusion or other incident, regardless of the cause. An Owner's failure to maintain such insurance coverage (a) constitutes a breach of the Owner's obligations under the CC&Rs, and (b) constitutes a decision by the Owner to self-insure for such damages. In such cases, the Association shall not be responsible for repairing or reimbursing an Owner for damage to the Owner's or resident's personal property items and other property and improvements within the Unit that would have been covered by insurance the Owner is obligated to carry pursuant to the CC&Rs. Accordingly, each Owner should consult with his/her insurance agent immediately to confirm that the Owner has proper insurance that insures the Owner's personal property against loss, including real property or building coverage for the finished surfaces of interior floors, walls and ceilings, and Owner
r has proper insurance that insures the Owner's personal property against loss, including real property or building coverage for the finished surfaces of interior floors, walls and ceilings, and Owner upgrades. The policy is commonly called an "HO-6" policy in the insurance industry. Owners shall maintain such insurance with a deductible not to exceed $500.00 for each occurrence. 3. Procedures for Repair Of Damages. Upon being notified of a water intrusion problem, the Association shall dispatch a roofing contractor, plumber, or other qualified contractor to investigate the problem and determine whether an Association Common Area component or Owner responsible item is the cause of the water intrusion. The affected Owner shall immediately tender any claim for damage to the Owner's personal property items and other property and improvements within the Unit to the Owner's insurance carrier. (a) If the cause of the water intrusion is from an Owner responsible item, or from damage to a Common Area component caused by the Owner or any of the Owner's family members, guests, tenants, agents, or invitees, the Owner shall be responsible to reimburse the Association for all costs incurred to contain the water intrusion and repair any damages to the Common Area components. The Association may levy a Special Assessment against the Owner for such costs, after providing the Owner notice and an opportunity for a hearing, pursuant to the Association's CC&Rs. The Owner shall be responsible to repair any damages to the Owner's Unit and personal property and other property and improvements therein, including, but not limited to, interior paint, wall and floor coverings, cabinets, appliances, fixtures, furniture, clothing, drapes, and other interior contents or improvements maintained
ts therein, including, but not limited to, interior paint, wall and floor coverings, cabinets, appliances, fixtures, furniture, clothing, drapes, and other interior contents or improvements maintained in the interior of the Unit (collectively, "Unit Contents"). (b) If a Common Area component is the cause of the water intrusion, the Association shall repair the Common Area component. If any of the Unit Contents are damaged, the Owner shall tender a claim to the Owner's insurance carrier pursuant to the insurance coverage the Owner is obligated to maintain under the CC&Rs. If the Association is at fault for the damages, the Association shall reimburse the Owner for the deductible under the Owner's insurance policy, which deductible shall not exceed $500.00; provided, however, the Association will not repair or replace, or pay for the repair or replacement of, interior damage to any Unit Contents caused or aggravated by an Owner's failure, or a tenant's failure (or any other person for which Owner is responsible), to act reasonably and timely notify the Association of a Common Area problem affecting the Owner's Unit. Provided further, however, if the Association elects to repair damage caused by an Owner's (or resident of an Owner's Unit) unreasonably delay in reporting the incident causing the damage, the Association may hold the Owner responsible for the cost to repair the damages caused by the delay in reporting the incident by way of a Special Assessment, after the Owner is given notice and an opportunity for a hearing. If an Owner fails to maintain the insurance required under the CC&Rs, the Owner shall be responsible for repairing damaged Unit Contents that would have been covered by the insurance the Owner is required to maintain under the CC&Rs. (c)
urance required under the CC&Rs, the Owner shall be responsible for repairing damaged Unit Contents that would have been covered by the insurance the Owner is required to maintain under the CC&Rs. (c) The Association shall control all repairs to Common Area components. This means that only Association approved and licensed contractors may perform any repairs to Common Area components or perform any work that affects a Common Property component. 4. Association Insurance. Subject to the Owner submitting any claim for damages to the Owner's insurance, if an Owner believes he/she has a claim which may fall under the Association's master policy of insurance, the Owner shall tender the claim to the Board of Directors for review. This may be done by simply sending the Association's managing agent a written description of the claim you wish tendered to insurance. The Board will review the claim as soon as practicable and will advise the Owner whether the Association intends to submit the claim to the master insurance carrier, or if the Association intends to handle the claim if the amount is relatively small, the Association is responsible for the damages, and the damages are not otherwise covered by insurance the Owner is obligated to maintain under the CC&Rs. The Board will work with the Association's insurance carrier to make sure that all proper and legitimate claims are processed. As noted above, the insurance policy deductible as of the date of adoption of this Policy is $10,000.00 per claim. This amount was selected for the benefit of a reduced premium amount and in order to reduce the likelihood of cancellation of the policy that may follow if more claims will be filed under a lower deductible amount. Therefore, no claim under the deductible
remium amount and in order to reduce the likelihood of cancellation of the policy that may follow if more claims will be filed under a lower deductible amount. Therefore, no claim under the deductible amount can be submitted to the Association's insurance carrier, because it will be rejected by the carrier. Accordingly, the Association will consider appropriate action for all claims under the deductible amount. The Board will review each claim and determine whether coverage exists under the policy and/or whether the Association or the Owner is responsible for paying to repair the damages under the CC&Rs. Many claims may be solely Owner responsibility. 5. Responsibility for Deductible Under Association Insurance. The Owner shall be responsible for payment of damages subject to the deductible under the Association's insurance policies in the following instances: (a) where the Owner, or a person for whom the Owner is responsible, is responsible for the damages, (b) for damages to Unit Components that would have been covered by insurance the Owner is required to maintain under the CC&Rs, and (c) for damages to Unit Components for which the Association is not responsible. In such instances, the Association may hold the Owner responsible for payment of the amount that would have been subject to the deductible under the Association's insurance policy, regardless of whether the Association tenders the claim to the Association's insurance carrier.
