Dear Homeowner and Resident:

The Board of Directors of the Tustin Village Homeowner’s Association has compiled this booklet of Rules and Regulations for the Community, which now includes a listing of penalty assessments that may be levied for violations of the Rules and Regulations.  Other updates have been made to this document. 

This is your home, and these Rules and Regulations are intended to make it an enjoyable and safe place to live.   They are to encourage and preserve the peace, health, safety, welfare, property and convenience of the residents of Tustin Village II.

Mutual respect will minimize the need for reminders or enforcement.  However, since there is no resident manager on site, we are each individually responsible for their enforcement together with the cooperation of the Security Officer and the Board of Directors.

If a reminder to a neighbor becomes necessary, approach the situation in the same considerate and courteous manner that you would like to be approached.   In the event that you have problems that cannot be solved – DO NOT CALL A MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS -  PUT YOUR COMPLAINT IN WRITING AND FORWARD IT TO THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY.  IF NECESSARY, CALL THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY DIRECTLY.

The Board of Directors are also homeowners and they do not receive any compensation for their services but do devote many hours to the administration of the Association, therefore, it is requested that you use the services of the management company. 

PLEASE:  Take the time to read the booklet and acquaint yourselves and all residents of your unit with the information provided.  By doing so, you and your family and friends will be aware of the Rules and Regulations and also the Violation of same and the possibility of a penalty assessment being levied for non-compliance. 

These rules are not going to be perfect but have been made for all Homeowners and Residents to ensure that you will be residing in a community that cares and wants to make living conditions as pleasant as possible for everyone. 

***PLEASE READ THE RULES AND REGULATION CAREFULLY***

Property owners with renters need to ensure their tenants have read and understand these rules.

Your complete cooperation will be appreciated.

Thank you.
