Community Rules
We have one rule:
Be kind. Be good.
Be Kind
Be Good
Being good means to keep the property in good condition. For example:
• If you spill or drop something, clean it up. Anything left out may be thrown away.
• Dragging items down the hallway leaves burn marks in the carpet. Please do not do it.
• Do not walk through the hallways with dirty or greasy shoes.
• Please do not store items or repair vehicles in the underground parking.
• Disallow dangerous activities like grilling on your deck or using kerosene heaters.
• Follow the posted signage and notices.
• Only park in the parking lot if you have a valid parking permit. Otherwise you may be towed.
• Cooperate with any pest control efforts.
• Let us know right away if you discover any maintenance issues.
Other Authorities
Other authorities like cities and homeowner’s associations have own rules you should follow. They may
issue penalties. One common rule is limits to on-street parking. For example, Forest Lake does not allow
overnight street parking. Gateway Green Townhome Association does not allow any street parking.
