GENERAL 

1.01                         INTRODUCTION

This manual has been generated to acquaint Homeowners and Residents with the  Rules and Regulations under which Cahuenga Hills Tennis Condominiums are governed.  We recommend you review it carefully and keep it on hand for future reference and guidance.

Cahuenga Hills Tennis Condominiums are governed by the “Declarations of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions and Grants and Reservations of Easements” (CC&Rs) approved by the Real Estate Commissioner of the State of California, including the Articles of Incorporation and By-laws of the Condominium Association.  These documents contain the basic rules and regulations for living at Cahuenga Hills Tennis Condominiums to which you agreed when you became a Homeowner.

In accordance with the CC&Rs, Cahuenga Hills is operated by a Homeowners Association, to which each Homeowner automatically belongs.  It must be
remembered that Cahuenga Hills is NOT an apartment complex.  There is no
“Landlord” to “take care of things.”  Each Homeowner is responsible for the care and cost of maintaining his unit.  All Homeowners, jointly, are
responsible for the care and all costs of maintaining and operating the common
areas.  Through your membership in the Homeowners Association, you delegate this joint responsibility to an elected Board of Directors and the Management and Staff employed by the Homeowners Association.  The quality and quantity of services and facilities at Cahuenga Hills depend entirely upon what you and your fellow Homeowners want and are willing to pay for.

The Homeowners Association reserves the right to modify or change any of the services, facilities or rules and regulations as described herein.
