HARBOURTOWNE AT COUNTRY WOODS

A CONDOMINIUM

RULES AND REGULATIONS

Reasonable rules and regulations are necessary for the comfort and convenience of residents and their guests and in order to maintain a family residential community of which we can continue to be justifiably proud. Accordingly, the Board of Directors of Harbourtowne at Country Woods has been authorized by Florida Statues and by the Condominium documents to adopt such rules as in its judgment may be required to achieve those goals. We believe these rules simply meet the test of common sense. The Association intends to enforce the rules strictly. If necessary, legal action will be taken to enforce them.

Please understand, you are renting a Condominium, not an apartment. These rules are in addition to any rules in your rental agreement. If there is a conflict between terms in your rental agreement and this document, this document shall supersede those terms in your rental agreement. Furthermore, these rules are effective as of May 18, 1998 - all previously adopted or modified Rules are hereby repealed and revoked and the Restrictions contained herein shall be substituted for all current or previously existing Rules in their entirely.

The Association is responsible for the grounds and common areas. If you are an owner, you are responsible for the interior of your condominium. If you are leasing a condominium, please review your lease to determine who is responsible for interior maintenance.

Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with these rules and thank you for your cooperation.
