Standards of Conduct Addressed by Bylaws and Rules

    For your convenience, the Board of Directors of Tidewater II Garden Condominium Council of Unit Owners has compiled the following “bullet” summary of certain conduct and actions that are specifically addressed by the Condominium’s bylaws and/or rules. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive; instead, it answers the questions that arise most frequently about what is or is not permitted under the bylaws and rules. We hope that this summary will assist all unit owners and tenants to comport themselves in accordance with the community’s published standards. The Board does have the power to levy fines against Unit Owners for violation of these By-Laws and Rules.

Laying patio carpeting on your balcony. Among other advantages, it protects your neighbors below you from debris, rain and snow falling between the boards of your balcony deck.

If you are a landlord, make this document part of your lease agreement and post this notice in your rental unit so that all tenants are aware of our community rules and regulations.
