COMMUNITY COVENANTS
FRAN-MAR VILLA & EVERGREEN MOBILE ESTATES
55+ MANUFACTURED HOUSING COMMUNITIES
The Community ownership desires to develop a responsible Community spirit with pride of occupancy and ownership in each Resident. The
Community Covenants set forth herein apply to all Residents and their Visitors, and are intended to protect your rights as a Resident, provide
appreciation on your Manufactured Home investment, and make the Fran-Mar Villa and Evergreen Mobile Estates a desirable place to live.
The Community Covenants are for your general welfare, safety, and enjoyment to assure a pleasant living environment for all Residents. They will
be administered fairly to all Residents. To assure that a few thoughtless people do not disturb or ruin your living environment, please keep
Management informed of violations of these Community Covenants. Violations of the Community Covenants by a Resident, Occupant or Visitor, or
Invitee may be addressed verbally or with an informal notice. Substantial or repeated violations will be addressed by formal written notice.
The Resident Management is vested with all legal rights and authority to enforce these Community Covenants on behalf of ownership. Management
decisions are final and binding upon Residents.
Changes and amendments to these Community Covenants may periodically be made. You will be notified of any such change and provided with a
revised and complete set of the then current Community Covenants. All Residents shall sign and acknowledge that he/she has received a copy of
these Community Covenants and are herewith made part of the lease, and the terms and conditions of both shall apply to your residency. Failure to
sign any revised version of these Community Covenants does not render such rules inapplicable to any Resident. These Community Covenants are
considered an integral part of your Rental Agreement. Violation of the Community Covenants may result in termination of your tenancy.
