I am so unbelievably pissed off. FUCK HOAs

Oh, my trash/recycling bin can't be visible except on pickup day? Ok whatever fine I hate you but I can deal with this

Weekly inspections?????? FU FU FU FU FU

SECOND NOTICE ALSO WE'RE CHARGING YOU MONEY TO SEND YOU CERTIFIED MAIL OF THIS TOTALLY LEGIT TOTALLY SECOND NOTICE OF WHAT IS ACTUALLY A VIOLATION cue me: checks notes. Hmm. My recycling bin was. on the curb. on recycling pickup day. You know. The day it has to be out. The day it is motherfucking ALLOWED TO BE FUCKING OUT AND VISIBLE.

so. 1) not a violation

I have sent them the trash AND recycling pickup schedules, which are DIFFERENT, btw

I have disputed the fact of the violation

I have disputed the linking of this "violation" to a previous violation MONTHS AGO--their "first notice" in this case was a "Courtesy Notice" LITERALLY 5 MONTHS AGO and they've done so many inspections since then and my bin CLEARLY WASN'T OUT IN THOSE INTERVENING MONTHS so WTMFH

So I am posting like a crazy person here instead of sending the absolutely deranged email I almost sent (I did send a slightly less deranged version with the disputes, and requesting a hearing)

OMG. It has been. Less than one hour since I learned this fun fun news. My bin was out YESTERDAY, y'all. YESTERDAY. I am going to blow a gasket

how a vacation with boyfriend!bobby kennedy sr. would go

warnings: nsfw, 18+

you would 100% have to bring bobby's dogs with you because his (trash, nasty ass, ungrateful) family members didn't want to dog-sit for a couple of days

i feel like bobby would be so delicately soft and pseudo-submissive in a way that he didn't feel free enough to be in d.c and places where his family could possibly see you guys together

he would be a paranoid freak about pickpocketer's, he has that damn lanyard with his wallet attached around his neck

is a fiend for a couple of film photography photos... he loves taking photos of you but when it comes to posing in his own photos he's as natural looking as a stone statute

gives you a flower from each touristy location you pass and you're there trying to balance being besotted with you're darling boyfriend and worrying about him getting arrested for disturbing public property😭😭😭

you try to braid that damn chest hair off his and he gets BIG mad...

would a hundred percent be the person in the couple who's going to the hotel manager if you get a room with the wrong view

cause he's annoyingly persistent like that

lots of outfits consist of you wearing flimsy cotton/silk tanks without a bra on, cause its a vacation for gods sake! but it's definitely impacting bobby's ability to cognitively function in your vicinity

when you do wear undergarments, its a simple, unfussy chic one-piece

he gets so spent after time in the sun, despite summering in the cape every year—sometimes even more, so you spend at least a couple of hours of vacation time

still won't lose the damn tie even on an italian vacation... I MEAN COME ON

you both worship your single digit bedtimes, since you guys will be so busy once you return to normal life

long naps spent together with his legs wrapped up across your lower waist

this is absolutely the imagined scent for the trip

boyfriend!bobby gives your feet a massage after a long day of walking across cobblestoned streets

how the soles of bobby's loafers look after the vacation's ended, even though you advised him against wearing loafers and instead wearing... a sneaker:

the type of snacks bobby forages (going to the local market) for you at the absolute crack of dawn

you force him to do you're hair once it's become entirely too much of an effort to manage

and he's posted up like this in front of mirror... helping like a man should!!!

NSFW UNDER THIS CUT:

would be a fiend for fucking under an outdoor shower with people five metres away... as i said he's a us senator AND a man with a voyeurism kink. get with the program people!

you most definitely coerce him into packing those swim trunks that are a little lot too small for him, just so you could shamelessly objectify him on the beach

when you both forget your wallets during lunch you bully bobby into taking his shirt off to sweeten up the older women who run the restaurant!

and it works... what can i say he's a princess of the people... and of older european women

and in return for his hard work (removing a linen shirt) you get on your knees in the alley behind the shop that you're kind of pretty sure has no people around

he gets very excited when put up to the task of applying your sunscreen for the capri sun

and... it turns into a very un-pg 13 experience in which he uses half of your biologique recherché spf 50 sunscreen to explore the planes of your body with direction

an action you use to scold him into apologising to you in a very, very creative way!

If this were an AITA, I think this would be an ESH. Like this is a fucking nightmare to happen to your property. But I also kinda cringe that she bought a house and then immediately put it on the rental market for $8,500 and didn't vacate the apartment she was obviously paying way less money for (like people are free to make money and manage their money, I get it, but the housing sitch here is real fucking bad so my well of sympathy is low).

But also, scammers gonna scam, I guess?

Fuck Airbnb, goes without saying.

Just...for real, everybody sucks here.

The holiday property market along Bulgaria's Black Sea coast is experiencing a shift away from its previous dominance by Russian buyers, now attracting a blend of younger Bulgarian professionals and retired Europeans. According to a comprehensive report by BTA, half of the buyers for seaside apartments are Bulgarians under 30, primarily from the IT sector, while the other half consists of retirees from Germany, France, Italy, and the Netherlands.

Demand is particularly strong for two-bedroom apartments within gated complexes, with average prices starting at 1,900 euros per square meter. Maintenance fees, which cover amenities like pools and gyms, no longer deter buyers, who typically spend around BGN 60-70 per month on these services. Ukrainian investors are also entering the market, focusing on new residential developments near the sea.

This snapshot of the summer holiday market in Bulgaria was detailed by Atanas Argirov and Stefka Kalcheva, members of the National Association "Real Estate" Management Board.

In Varna, residential property prices have surged by 60 percent over the past two years, prompting a shift in buyer interest towards vacation homes. Atanas Argirov notes that holiday property prices have also risen, albeit more slowly, by 25 percent during the same period, indicating a stable upward trajectory despite lagging behind residential real estate.

The preferred locations in Varna include areas around the city center like "Sts. Constantine and Helena" and its surrounding districts. These locales, increasingly structured as residential hubs, appeal due to proximity to amenities such as large supermarkets and easy access to Varna and Vinitsa districts. The trend shows an almost equal number of permanent residents and vacation property owners in these areas.

In Golden Sands, demand for vacation properties is also on the rise, particularly within closed aparthotel complexes used mainly as second homes rented out during the summer season. Despite limited year-round inhabitation, interest remains high, with several new residential projects underway in "Sts. Constantine and Helena" and ongoing development in the Golden Sands area.

Buyers in Varna predominantly favor two-bedroom apartments, which account for about 40 percent of all real estate transactions in the city. Larger units with more than three rooms are preferred by IT professionals, who utilize them not just as residences but also as workspaces, reflecting a growing trend towards multifunctional living spaces. Security and amenities in gated communities attract over 80 percent of buyers, with rising maintenance fees posing minimal deterrent.

Approximately 60 percent of new buyers in Varna and its surrounding resorts are aged between 25 and 35, many of whom work in the IT sector. Bulgarians make up the majority of purchasers, while retirees from Western Europe constitute a smaller yet significant demographic, alongside buyers from Ukraine and Israel. The departure of Russian buyers has led to a smaller foreign presence in Bulgaria's real estate market, with Ukrainian investors beginning to play a more prominent role, particularly in high-end developments near Alen Mak and Manastirski Rid.

In the Burgas region, interest in vacation properties is steadily growing, with Bulgarian citizens accounting for 50 percent of transactions. The remainder includes retirees from Germany and a diverse mix of buyers from Poland, the Czech Republic, Israel, and Russian-speaking countries. This influx has partially offset the decline in Russian buyers, who face logistical challenges in utilizing their Bulgarian properties due to visa and transport restrictions.

Property prices in Burgas have seen a modest increase of approximately 5 to 6 percent since the beginning of the year, aligning with inflation rates. Despite a balanced market without significant peaks, industry experts predict a slight rise of 2-3 percent in housing prices by year-end, totaling an increase of 4-8 percent for 2024.

Sozopol, Nessebar, Sunny Beach, and Primorsko remain favored destinations for vacation property investments, with a growing interest from Ukrainian buyers in Pomorie. The profile of buyers in Burgas skews towards younger Bulgarians aged 35-45 seeking second homes, while foreign buyers, particularly from Poland, are also prevalent. Financing through mortgage loans is common, with expatriate Bulgarians and EU residents contributing to a significant portion of purchases.

In both Varna and Burgas, two-bedroom apartments are the preferred property type among buyers, offering flexibility for seasonal use. The appeal of closed complexes lies in their security and maintained amenities, with additional fees, including maintenance costs, posing minimal concern for new buyers. Prices are influenced by proximity to the sea, with properties closer to the beach commanding higher values. However, affordability remains a consideration, with lower-priced options reflecting their distance from coastal areas and historical town centers.

Property Leasehold in Phuket

Phuket, Thailand, with its pristine beaches, vibrant culture, and thriving tourism industry, has long been a popular destination for foreigners seeking to invest in or rent property. While the process of leasing property in Phuket can be relatively straightforward, it's essential to understand the nuances and legal considerations to ensure a smooth and successful experience.

Understanding the Types of Leases

Short-Term Leases (30 days or less): These are typically used for vacation rentals and are generally managed by property management companies. They offer flexibility but often come with higher rental rates.

Long-Term Leases (1 year or more): These are more common for individuals seeking a permanent or semi-permanent residence in Phuket. They provide stability and can often result in lower rental rates.

Key Considerations for Foreigners

Lease Agreement: A well-crafted lease agreement is crucial to protect your interests. Ensure it clearly outlines the rental amount, duration, maintenance responsibilities, security deposit, and dispute resolution procedures.

Visa Requirements: Your visa status will significantly impact your ability to lease property. While some visas allow for long-term residency, others may have restrictions. Consult with immigration authorities to determine the appropriate visa for your circumstances.

Property Management: Consider hiring a reputable property management company to handle day-to-day tasks like rent collection, maintenance, and tenant disputes. This can save you time and effort, especially if you're not residing in Phuket full-time.

Local Laws and Regulations: Familiarize yourself with Thai property laws and regulations, including tenancy agreements, rent control, and dispute resolution processes. It's advisable to consult with a local lawyer to ensure compliance.

Rental Market Analysis: Research the rental market in your desired area to understand current rental rates, demand, and trends. This information can help you negotiate favorable terms and make informed decisions.

Cultural and Social Norms: Be mindful of Thai cultural and social norms, especially regarding tenant-landlord relationships. Respecting local customs can contribute to a harmonious living environment.

Tips for Successful Property Leasing

Thorough Inspection: Before signing a lease, conduct a thorough inspection of the property to identify any existing issues.

Negotiation: Don't hesitate to negotiate rental rates, terms, and conditions. A well-prepared and informed approach can lead to favorable outcomes.

Emergency Fund: Set aside an emergency fund to cover unexpected expenses, such as repairs or maintenance costs.

Communication: Maintain open and effective communication with your landlord or property manager to address any concerns promptly.

By carefully considering these factors and following the guidelines outlined above, foreigners can successfully navigate the property leasing process in Phuket and enjoy a fulfilling experience in this beautiful tropical paradise.

As few as 2 percent of New York City’s previous 22,000 short-term rentals on Airbnb have been registered with the city since a new law banning most listings came into effect in early September. But many illegal short-term rental listings are now being advertised on social media and lesser known platforms, with some still seemingly being listed on Airbnb itself.

The number of short-term listings on Airbnb has fallen by more than 80 percent, from 22,434 in August to just 3,227 by October 1, according to Inside Airbnb, a watchdog group that tracks the booking platform. But just 417 properties have been registered with the city, suggesting that very few of the city’s short-term rentals have been able to get permission to continue operating.

The crackdown in New York has created a “black market” for short-term rentals in the city, claims Lisa Grossman, a spokesperson for Restore Homeowner Autonomy and Rights (RHOAR), a local group that opposed the law. Grossman says she’s seen the short-term rental market pick up steam on places like Facebook since the ban. “People are going underground,” she says.

New York’s crackdown on short-term rentals has dramatically reshaped the vacation rental market in the city. People are using sites like Craigslist, Facebook, Houfy, and others, where they can search for guests or places to book without the checks and balances of booking platforms like Airbnb. Hotel prices are expected to rise with more demand.

Search for a short stay on Airbnb, and there are few places scattered across the map. Many of those old listings have turned into stays of 30 days or longer—meaning they do not need to be registered.

AirDNA, a short-term rental intelligence firm, found just 2,300 short-term rentals on Airbnb in New York City by late September. The number of stays advertised as long-term rentals now makes up 94 percent of Airbnb’s listings in the city, AirDNA’s data shows. Hosts must meet strict requirements to be approved as a short-term rental—they can have only two guests, and the host must be present in the home during the stay. This change banned many whole apartment listings, except for those that fell under a Class B dwelling category, like hotels, boarding houses, and clubs.

But people are finding ways around the rules. Many listings on Airbnb now include a space in the property’s description for hosts to enter a registration number or state that they are exempt. WIRED searched Airbnb for stays in New York and found many short-term rentals that list themselves as exempt from the city’s registration rules, but there are still several entire units available for short stays that do not appear to be hotels or exempt units.

In one listing marked as exempt, the host asks for guests to avoid interacting with the building’s concierge. On another listing, a host claims they used to live in the unit but have moved to New Jersey and now rent it out. One appears to be a rowhome in a mostly residential neighborhood in Brooklyn. Airbnb uses the city’s verification system to flag unregistered units. The company did not provide comment for this story addressing these specific listings flagged by WIRED. Nathan Rotman, the public policy regional lead for Airbnb, says the company is “working closely” with the city as it implements the new registration law.

Inside Airbnb’s data shows some 2,300 short-term properties have listed themselves as exempt from registration on Airbnb. There are a few hundred more that do not say whether they are exempt or registered, according to the data. Another 35,000 are long-term rentals. Airbnb did not confirm the numbers in the data scraped by Inside Airbnb. The Mayor's Office of Special Enforcement in New York, which manages the registration program, did not provide an update on the total number of short-term rentals it has registered, or whether it has issued violations for illegal listings. 

The New York City law is just one striking way cities are fighting back against short-term rentals. Supporters of the rule argued it would free up apartments for New Yorkers, who pay high rent prices and are facing housing shortages and insecurity. But others, including small-time landlords, said it would take away a source of flexible extra income without making a dent in the housing supply crisis.

Those smaller landlords are still pushing New York City councilors to change the rules to allow them to rent out their units. RHOAR is made up of hosts who own and occupy single-family homes or homes with two dwelling units. These hosts feel they have been unfairly looped in with big landlords. Grossman says RHOAR has met with city councilors in hopes of changing the law so that smaller hosts can still legally do short-term renting.

Outside of Airbnb, people are posting listings and seeking short-term rentals in Facebook groups. Ads on Craigslist for rentals have weekly or nightly prices listed—WIRED found one listing with a weekly and nightly price on Craigslist that also appears on Airbnb, but can only be booked for 30 days or longer on Airbnb. These off-platform rentals pose risks to both guests and hosts, who could get scammed without the protections of bigger companies like Airbnb. 

Craigslist did not respond to a request for comment. Meta, Facebook's parent company, did not comment on specific listings flagged by WIRED, but the company's policies require buyers and sellers in Facebook Marketplace to comply with local laws, and the company prohibits people from promoting illegal activity in Facebook pages and groups.  

Then there’s Houfy, another website listing short-term rentals. WIRED found that many of the listings come from guests who joined the site in September, the same month New York’s new registration rules took effect. The intention is for guests to book directly with hosts—think Airbnb without the fees. The site compares prices for the same property on Airbnb and Houfy and claims to show how much people can save by avoiding Airbnb’s fees.

Houfy has received a notice from New York City about the new rule and is “reviewing how to comply with their rules,” Thijs Aaftink, CEO of Houfy, tells WIRED. Aaftink says Houfy, unlike Airbnb and other rental sites, does not take commissions on transactions between hosts and guests, and argues the company “is therefore not part of the transaction.” He says hosts are responsible for complying with local laws when listing properties.

After the rule change, Airbnb is shifting attention away from New York, which was once its biggest market. Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky has recently said the company is exploring longer rentals, as well as car rentals and dining pop-ups. And it has got its eyes on Paris, its largest market and home to the 2024 Summer Olympics.

“I was always hopeful that New York City would lead the way—that we would find a solution in New York, and people would say, ‘If they can make it in New York, they can make it anywhere,’” Chesky said during an event in September hosted by Skift, a travel industry news site. “I think, unfortunately, New York is no longer leading the way—it’s probably a cautionary tale.”

Can you give us some details on the Hortus infernal AU? It looks pretty interesting

OH BOY, CAN I!!!

(Some stuff may be subject to be changed/tweaked as future games come out to possibly influence things, BUT-!)

In Hortus Infernal (AKA, "The Infernal Garden"), rather than the mascots being these clay/human/animal science experiments, they were instead brought into being by the higher ups getting sick and tiered of teachers always whining about little things like "Being underappreciated", and "Better wages" and "Sick leave" and "Vacation time", and decided to tap into their 16th century roots, and summon demons for the purposes of being teachers.

They have ancient laid out instructions on how to summon them, can have their appearance tweaked to an extent to the summoner's desire in order to look cute and cuddly and marketable, they have to follow through with whatever the contract you get them to agree to, even without things like healthcare or lunch breaks... And they're demons, so there'd be no, like, holy karmatic consequences about turning THEM into eternal indentured servants, right? Riiiight???

Demons also have the property, where they absolutely cannot directly physically harm children. Their souls are too pure (Even if they don't act like it sometimes. Any sins from them get added to their caregiver's soul, as they're the ones suppose to be guiding them) So that makes the Kindergarten and Daycare children the perfect experimental meat shields first candidates to this wonderful new learning opportunity!

All topped off with the discovery of an angelic substance known as Givanium, an ethereal substance that, when infused into an object, and said object is attached to a demon, it force locks them into that plane of reality. (Hence why all the redesigns have had some bit of jewelry on them baring a cross, that they can't remove themselves)

So all they have to do is summon up some marketable looking demons, make up some kind of contract with a clause that makes it so the demons can't attack someone unless some silly contractual rule is broken, trick them into the Givanium Bonds so they can never leave, and then just sit back and let allll that tuition money roll in! Absolutely perfect! Nothing could go wrong!!

...

...Needless to say, as of many stories of hubris, things went very, VERY wrong.

Turns out, ancient demonic beings are quite a bit smarter than a bunch of rich corporate assholes, and don't take too kindly to being tricked out of what they're owed.

Some worked out how to trick workers into breaking loopholes in their individual "Do no harm" clauses, carnage ensues, and once the ones that managed to get away got out of range of the school building the demons were all bound to, they instead turned and took the attending children as hostage in the building's depths.

Now there's inner chaos within the ranks of the many different demons, and what exactly their goals are. Some want to just get what is owed to them by their summoners and go home, some want to break out of the bounds of the school building and use their Earth summoned state to cause chaos and destruction on Earth like in the olden times, some want to use the situation to change their rank in Hell by freeing themselves of the Givanium Bonds while leaving others stranded, some even desire to find ways to break the most grave taboo of all, and find a way to kill and harvest the children's souls...

And throughout all of this, we have our protagonist: A mother willing to put up and fight with the horrors, tricks, and mind games of Hell's denizens itself to get her baby back home safe!!!

Dilapidations Surveys Explained: What You Need to Know

When managing a property, particularly in a rental context, understanding the various responsibilities associated with property upkeep is essential. One critical tool that often comes into play is the dilapidations survey. A dilapidations survey is a detailed inspection that assesses the condition of a property in relation to its lease agreement. This article aims to explain dilapidations surveys, their significance, and what property owners, landlords, and tenants need to know to navigate this essential aspect of property management.

What is a Dilapidations Survey?

A dilapidations survey is a formal assessment conducted typically at the end of a lease term. The primary objective is to evaluate the condition of a property, identifying any damages or necessary repairs that the tenant is responsible for before vacating the premises. The findings from a dilapidations survey can have substantial implications for both landlords and tenants, as they help clarify obligations and responsibilities concerning the property’s maintenance.

The Survey Process

The process of conducting a dilapidations survey generally involves several steps:

Initial Inspection: The surveyor visits the property to conduct a thorough inspection, taking note of its current condition. They look for signs of wear and tear, damage, and any discrepancies from the original lease agreement.

Documentation: The surveyor documents their findings, often taking photographs and compiling detailed notes. This documentation serves as a vital reference for both parties involved.

Reporting: After the inspection, the surveyor prepares a comprehensive report outlining their findings. This report typically includes a list of necessary repairs, areas of deterioration, and a comparison with the condition of the property at the start of the lease.

Recommendations: Finally, the report may also include recommendations for how to address any identified issues, helping tenants understand their responsibilities.

Why are Dilapidations Surveys Important?

Understanding the importance of dilapidations surveys is crucial for both landlords and tenants for several reasons:

Legal Protection

One of the primary purposes of a dilapidations survey is to provide legal protection for both parties. For landlords, the survey serves as documented evidence of the property's condition at the end of the lease. If disputes arise regarding damages or repairs, having a comprehensive dilapidations survey can strengthen a landlord's case in negotiations or potential legal proceedings.

Conversely, tenants can also benefit from dilapidations surveys. By having a clear understanding of their obligations, tenants can take proactive measures to address any necessary repairs before moving out. This can help them avoid unexpected financial liabilities or legal disputes with their landlords.

Maintaining Property Value

For property owners, regular dilapidations surveys can play a significant role in maintaining the overall value of their investment. By identifying and addressing maintenance issues early, landlords can prevent more severe problems from developing. This proactive approach helps ensure that the property remains attractive to future tenants, which is crucial in a competitive rental market.

Additionally, conducting dilapidations surveys at regular intervals—rather than solely at the end of a lease—can help landlords keep a close eye on their property’s condition, making informed decisions regarding repairs and upgrades.

Communicating Expectations

Effective communication between landlords and tenants is vital for successful property management. Dilapidations surveys facilitate this communication by providing a clear, objective assessment of the property’s condition. When both parties have access to the same information, it reduces the likelihood of misunderstandings and disputes.

Moreover, when a dilapidations survey is conducted before the lease ends, tenants can understand their responsibilities and make arrangements to address any issues proactively. This transparency fosters a more cooperative relationship between landlords and tenants, ultimately leading to smoother lease transitions.

Timing of Dilapidations Surveys

It is generally advisable to conduct dilapidations surveys well before the lease term concludes. By doing so, tenants have ample time to rectify any identified issues. This not only helps them meet their obligations but also ensures that the property is returned in good condition, which can be particularly beneficial for securing future references.

Landlords may also choose to conduct interim dilapidations surveys throughout the lease term. This practice allows them to monitor the property’s condition regularly and address any concerns before they escalate into more significant problems.

Conclusion

In summary, dilapidations surveys are an essential aspect of property management that provides significant benefits for both landlords and tenants. By understanding the purpose and process of a dilapidations survey, property owners can ensure they are protecting their investments and fulfilling their legal obligations. Simultaneously, tenants can take proactive steps to maintain the property and avoid potential disputes.

As the landscape of property management continues to evolve, the importance of dilapidations surveys remains clear. For anyone involved in rental properties, being informed about dilapidations surveys is not just advisable; it is necessary for successful property management. By prioritizing this crucial process, both landlords and tenants can foster a more transparent, cooperative, and efficient rental environment.

— WHAT IS IT?

It is as it sounds! A plot of land cultivated by some of Aurora Bay's residents either collectively or individually. With a generous donation from the Levins and approval from the town government body, an empty patch located near Ocean Crest has been approved for the use of gardening.

It is open to members for a one time $100 entry fee (to cover supply costs), it is non-profit and done as a project to build a sense of community among the residents. There people can find a sense of purpose, peace, and even learn a new trade of planting and growing is a new skill they wish to tackle.

As schedules permit, there are plans to hold small dinner parties for the members to celebrate and enjoy the fruits of their labor.

— WHAT CAN BE GROWN?

Anything within season, from various produce and herbs to just flowers. Each member is given their own plot to do with as they please, and if they join with friends that can combine their plots.

— GUIDELINES (in game, this is for writing purposes, of course, whether your muse tries to break rules or not is up to you)

Each member is required to pay a one time $50.00 entry fee, just to cover initial costs, and after that they are in. If the initial cost is too much, a payment plan can be worked out.

Each member is responsible for their own yield and production, but of course if someone is away on vacation it is neighborly to look after their plants.

You are to communicate with Lorna about selected herbs and crops so it can be determined where the best spot to plant them is - this avoids planting crops that don't grow well next to each other in neighboring plots, and avoids waste by determining the soil, need for a shade box, and when they are in season.

While it isn't a requirement and not a rule, it is expected somewhere along the line every member takes their turn at a Farmer's Market to sell and earn money to support the garden.

Respect one another, don't destroy other's plots.

We understand if this project is no longer something you can commit to, we just expect you to effectively communicate if you are leaving it. If absent without notice for two weeks, we reserve the right to allocate your plot to another member.

Follow the law. This is a community project, therefore anything does that does not uphold community expectations or stays within the general law can put the use of this property at risk.

Pets cannot enter the garden. Service animals are permitted.

Only members are permitted to enter, non-members must be accompanied by a current member.

No smoking in the garden.
