Rent, late fees, and all other charges or fees must be paid to Boyd Roane, Inc. by PERSONAL CHECK OR MONEY ORDER.  No cash will be accepted.

HOME RENTAL AND SALES Rental of homes is not permitted without the written permission of the management.

INSURANCE  All homeowners are encouraged to have proper and adequate insurance at all times. Over the past few years, several home owners have sustained significantly losses due to fire and weather.

TRASH/GARBAGE DISPOSAL Disposal of trash and garbage is the responsibility of the homeowner.

Please do not allow garbage, discarded furniture, or refuse of any type to accumulate on porches, decks or lawns.

– All garbage and refuse left outside the home must be bagged and placed in plastic and metal containers with tight fitting lids.  This will prevent trash being blown about or overturned by animals.  Spraying your trash with ammonia will keep animals out of it. If refuse is scattered around the property by stray dogs or other animals it is the responsibility of the homeowner to clean it up.

– Other than on pick-up days, garbage containers must be stored at the rear of the home or at a location screened from view.

DRAINAGE DITCHES AND CREEKS Do not dispose of refuse, trash, garbage, or oil in drainage ditches or creeks on the property.  Such debris creates health hazards, clogs the creek, makes the community look unsightly, and is against state and municipal laws.
