The LMCA members, residents and the Board of Directors all welcome you to our community. It is a very pleasant place to live with beautiful

Nothing contained in this Article shall be construed to require that the Association furnish notice to any unit owner of his failure to pay any assessment, sum or other charge due the Association. In the event such legal action is brought against a unit owner and results in a judgment for the plaintiff, the defendant shall pay the plaintiff’s reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs.”

Failure to do so shall entitle the Association or any other unit owner to recover damages or obtain injunctive relief or both, but such relief shall not be exclusive of other remedies provided by law.”
The issuing of the Rules & Regulations to each owner and resident constitutes a formal notice from the Association that each owner and each resident is obligated to become familiar with and comply with the Condominium Documents and the Rules & Regulations. It is each owner’s responsibility to inform their residents that they (their residents) are also required to comply with the covenants of the Condominium Documents and the Rules & Regulations. Failure to comply will not relieve the owner or the resident of the responsibility and will result in a notice to appear before the Fine Review Committee and a possible fine levied against the unit owner. All prospective owners and residents are cautioned to read the Rs& Rs and all Condominium Documents prior to signing and binding agreements concerning ownerships of a condo unit and/or leasing a unit in order to assure the Association that they can and will abide by the covenants of the Association’s documents and the Rules & Regulations.

NOISE VIOLATIONS & DOMESTIC VIOLATION
The Association’s Documents require a quiet time during the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. All residents and their guests are required to comply with quiet time rule.
Every resident of LMC is entitled to live in peace and quiet during the night hours. Those who violate the quiet time are subject to being fined by the Board of Directors.
Here is what you may choose to do when a violation occurs:
1. First remember that it is not always safe to approach a person who is excited or aggravated over some issue, especially at night. Don’t try to be the judge and jury and settle the matter between these persons. Exercise extreme caution if you do decide to speak with the offenders. They may be violent when angry.
2. You may choose to make a written report to the management company giving time, date, unit number and the type of violation. This will create an official record of the offence. The management company may write a letter to the offender. This would become the first notice to the resident of the violation of quiet time. The letter may notify the resident that the next violation of quiet time will result in the resident being requested to appear before the Fine Review Committee.
3. If the situation is severe, call the Winter Park Police Department immediately to report the incident. When the officer appears on site, advise him/her of the offense and ask that a police report be made. Ask the officer to give you his/her business card with the date and case number written on it. If you wish to make an anonymous complaint, advise the dispatcher when you call. The officer will not come to your door.
Don’t wait until things have quieted down. That may be too late for the officer to make a report. Call immediately!
