The full authority and responsibility of enforcing said rules may be delegated to a Managing Agent by the Board of Directors of the Association of Apartment Owners. All occupants, tenants, and their guests shall be bound by these rules and by standards of reasonable conduct whether covered by these rules or not. The House Rules are to become, and shall be deemed a part of, any and all Sales and Rental Agreements.

The Board of Directors may make, add, or amend rules as it deems necessary or desirable.

A copy of the Rules and Regulations must be permanently placed in the Resident Manager’s Office.
1. OWNERS' RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

If the request is not followed, the police may be called by the Resident Manager, or other residents, to have such persons removed. It is imperative that the safety, comfort and goodwill of all residents be considered and protected at all times.

RIGHT OF ACCESS: In the event of any emergency originating in such apartment, or threatening another apartment or the common elements, the Managing Agent, or other persons authorized by the Board has the right of entry to the unit whether or not the owner is present at the time. The Board or its agent shall not be deemed to have trespassed in any manner.

ADDENDUM A TO HALEIWA SURF HOUSE RULES
Rules and Procedures for Assistance Animals

The Association accommodates assistance animals as required under federal and state law. All requests for reasonable accommodations in the form of an assistance animal should be submitted to the Board of Directors of the Association via the Association’s Managing Agent, either in writing or verbally.

The Association reserves the right to verify requests for reasonable accommodation in the form of assistance animals by engaging in an interactive process with the requestor, for the purpose of verifying that:

a. The individual has a disability, as defined in Hawaii or federal statutes, provided that medical records, access to health care providers, a diagnosis, nature or severity of the individual’s disability is not requested; and

b. If the disability related need for an assistance animal is not readily apparent, verification that the assistance animal is needed to alleviate one or more symptoms of the individual’s disability.

All assistance animals shall be registered using the Association’s Animal Registration Form attached hereto. This shall be done within five (5) business days of notice from the Board of the approval of the assistance animal. In addition, proof of licensing by the county, if applicable, and proof of vaccinations are required. All of the aforesaid documentation must be submitted to the Association’s Managing Agent.

All other persons bringing an assistance animal to the Association must notify the Resident Manager upon doing so, if not before, and may be asked if the person is disabled, and if the animal alleviates a symptom of the disability.

Whenever an assistance animal is in the common areas of the Association it must be under the control of the animal’s owner or handler by use of a harness, leash, tether, cage, or other means of physical control. If the nature of the person’s disability makes physical control impracticable, or if physical control would interfere with the assistance that the animal is providing, the assistance animal must be under the control of the animal’s owner or handler by voice control, signals, or other effective means.

Owners of assistance animals are responsible for cleaning up after their animals and discarding securely bagged pet droppings in garbage bins. Assistance animals shall not be permitted to relieve themselves in the common areas of the Association.

Owners of assistance animals are required to maintain minimum sanitary standards for their assistance animal, including but not limited to control of fleas, ticks and flies.

Owners of assistance animals are solely responsible for any and all damages and/or injury caused by the assistance animal.

The Board of Directors reserves the right to cite, fine, and ultimately require removal of an assistance animal if the animal bites, acts in an aggressive manner toward a person or other animal, become a nuisance, or is destructive to common elements.

Owners of assistance animals shall clean the unit upon vacating it, by fumigating, deodorizing, professional carpet cleaning and/or other appropriate methods at the owner’s sole expense.

Assistance animals may not accompany their handlers in areas on the property where the animal may pose a significant health or safety hazard.

Window A/C’s in Bedrooms
