Fairway Park Homeowners Association
Rules and Regulations
Amended November, 2014
The social success of our community depends in a large part on the By-Laws, Rules & Regulations and Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions, (CC&Rs), that are the reason for forming a planned community. These regulations not only provide for more tranquil living conditions, but benefit everyone by maintaining the highest possible property values. The Fairway Park Homeowners Association has adopted the following Rules and Regulations which enhance but do not supersede or change the Bylaws or Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs) in any manner.
The word “Owner” shall refer to the person or persons listed on the grant deed. “Tenant” shall refer to the current person or persons granted the authority by lease to occupy the “Owner’s” premises. Owners will be responsible for the actions of misconduct of themselves, their tenants and/or occupants, children, guests, and pets. Each owner shall also be responsible for furnishing their tenants and/or occupants with a current copy of the Fairway Park Homeowners Association Rules and Regulations.
