the tenant(s) is promptly provided to the Association. Specifically, Article VI,
Section 13(a) states that no fewer than 21 days in advance of leasing the unit, a coowner must provide written disclosure to the Associations managing agents along

In order for the lease to be approved, it must contain a clause that indicates that

permits will not be issued without completion of this process. There are no
exemptions to this policy.

processed by management. This regulation will result in uniform records and is in
keeping with the condominium documents.

agent with a copy of the lease, full name(s), of the lease and occupants of the unit
