1 Cote d Azur Condominium Association, Inc INTRODUCTION Since publication of the Association s Rules and Regulations on October 1, 1986 the Board of Directors therein has made changes. These changes include amendments, deletions and additions. Recommendations are made by the residents and the Rules Committee and revised every two (2) years. To acquaint themselves with the changes, Association Members are requested to compare this booklet with its predecessor and to become thoroughly familiar with the contents. Strict adherence to the Rules and Regulations by all unit owners, guests and lessees is absolutely essential for condominium living in a pleasant atmosphere and for the preservation of property values. Cote d Azur Condominium Association Rules and Regulations are based upon the experience of the Association and of similar associations as well as upon requirements of state, county, city laws and ordinances and of the Cote d Azur Declaration of Condominium By-Laws. The condominium concept established by statute imposes a fiduciary duty upon the governing body of the association to afford due process and equal protection to each of its members. Each unit owner is entitled to adequate notice of the restrictions being imposed during membership in the association and is further entitled to have the condominium covenants and restrictions uniformly applied and enforced. The Condominium Act gives association fining authority as a tool in the enforcement process. When rules are broken, the offending unit will be referred to the Compliance Committee for a fine of $ per violation. A fine may be levied on the basis of each day of a continuing violation providing that the aggregate does not exceed $1, per violation. No fine may be levied unless the violator has been afforded a 14 day notice and the opportunity to be heard at a duly noticed Compliance Committee Meeting, which consists of unit owners not related to the Board of Directors. The committee will hear all sides of the referred offense and if the Compliance Committee confirms, the fine is imposed. Authority for fines and penalties are addressed in the Association Documents, Article XII, Amendment dated, December 29, 2016 and the Florida Statute 718. The Board of Directors has appointed a Compliance Committee. Owners must obtain copies of the rules for the use of their guests and lessees. Any changes in the Cote d Azur Condominium Association Rules and Regulations that an owner may wish to suggest, should be submitted to the Committee Chairperson or the Board of Directors in writing.

2 CHAPTER I USE AND OCCUPANCY A. GENERAL Condominium living is, for most unit owners, a new concept and requires an adjustment of attitude and a respect and understanding for the rights of other unit owners. Each unit owner must regulate the occupancy and the use of the common area and facilities so as not to unreasonably or unnecessarily deprive or disturb any other owner in the use, occupancy and enjoyment of his unit and of the common areas and facilities. Hence, the need for abiding by the directives set forth in the Declaration of Condominium, the By-Laws of the condominium Association, as well as the Rules and Regulations adopted for the common good. Compliance is required not only of the unit owner but of their children, guests and lessees. Furthermore, in all cases the unit owners and/or their lessees are held responsible for their behavior and compliance as well as that of their children and guests. It follows that they become financially liable for any damage they may cause to any portion of the common areas, facilities and other Association property. GUESTS All dwelling units are restricted exclusively to residential use. No business activities shall be conducted. 2. Of necessity, condominium living space is limited, and in order not to infringe on the rights of others, it becomes necessary to limit the number of occupants residing over night to six in any dwelling unit. This limitation applies not only to the unit owner, but when he is not in residence, to his guests or lessees. Accompanied Guests: Accompanied Guests are defined as guests of the unit owner that are occupying the unit while the unit owner is in residence. Accompanied Guests do not require a guest fee but if they are in residence over 30 days, they must submit an application and fee and pass a background check. 2. Unaccompanied Guests: Unaccompanied Guests are defined as guests of the unit owner that are occupying the unit or utilizing the premises while the unit owner is NOT in residence or present. Use and occupancy of a dwelling unit by Unaccompanied Guests or others, in the absence of the unit owner, shall be permitted only if the following procedures are adhered to: Unit Owners must register all Unaccompanied Guests with the office 72 hours before they a. arrive. A guest information sheet must be completed including the length of stay and any fees. b. Unaccompanied Guests Related: Only antecedents and descendants of the unit owner are permitted to occupy the unit, without a guest fee. Brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles, etc., require a $50 guest fee. Proof of the relationship will be required. c. Unaccompanied Guests not related: A person who is not related to the owner, staying in a unit in the absence of an owner. Owners may have Unaccompanied Guests not related once (1) in a quarter for not more than 30 days. The 30 day stay may not be in consecutive days so as to combine 2 quarters. (For example; last 30 days in March and first 30 days in April.) Such guests require a $50 guest fee. 3. On arrival, the Unaccompanied Guest must register with the Association office the first business day after arrival. 4. The unit owner shall furnish the necessary access keys to their guests and shall instruct such persons to acquaint them with the basic Rules and Regulations applicable to the use of the common areas and facilities of the Association. 5. Failure of the unit owner or the occupant to comply with the above directives shall result in a referral to the Compliance Committee. Modified 3/2017 Page - 2 -
