MOUNTAIN RIVER EAST CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION

RULES & REGULATIONS

The following regulations have been adopted to govern the overall conduct of those using the complex. It is incumbent upon every unit owner to discuss these items with their families, guests, and anyone renting their unit. Please understand that this is a private community in which everyone must share a mutual responsibility for its continued success. Please leave these instructions in your condo for easy reference.

RENTAL REGULATIONS

  1. Any unit that is rented for more than a 30 day period must have an approved rental application on file in the Management Office. Failure to file or falsification of information will result in the eviction of the occupant of the unit. Owner of unit must provide firewood for their tenants at all times. If your wood bin is empty and you have a renter occupying the unit, it will be filled and you will be billed.

GENERAL GUIDELINES

  1. No pets are allowed on the condominium property without the consent of the Board of Directors. The town of Thornton has a leash law that applies to the condo property as well. All approved dogs shall be leashed when not in the units. Dogs shall be walked in the approved dog walk areas. Once a dog has been approved, the unit owner is responsible for cleaning up droppings. If owners complain about the conduct of any pet, the complaint may result in the revocation of permission to keep the pet on the property. No renter shall be allowed to have pets without the expressed written consent of the Directors.
