WINDSOR
Volume 19, Issue 11
November 2021 PRESIDENT’S PEN
Dear Fellow Community Members, There are two documents the committee members and the board have been working on for some time now that we hope Michele will prevent misunderstandings Compton, and make buying or renting a Board smoother process. The first is President titled, “Real Estate Professional and Buyer’s Guide to Real Estate Transactions in Windsor Gardens.” This guide provides an alphabetized list of general information that we believe will be helpful to both real estate agents and buyers, avoiding misconceptions about our community. The document includes items such as age/occupancy restrictions, amenities, guest unit, laundry, moving in procedures, open houses, orientation, recycling, lock boxes, parking, smoking and renovation procedures to name a few. This will be widely distributed to any real estate agent listing a unit and to those people considering buying a unit here. The second document is an update to the rental policy as printed in this issue of Windsor Life. It clarifies the requirements, responsibilities and restrictions of renting a unit at Windsor Gardens. If you have considered, or may in the future consider renting your unit, please read this document carefully. Unfortunately, we have had owners who have not understood the legal requirements, such as a lease with specific items included and the waitlist requirements of our declarations, which have caused both concern and cost to the owner. We believe that educating ahead of time provides the best possibility of saving not only the unit owner but also the other residents in the building problems and stress. As we enter the holiday season, I wish you and all you love a peaceful and joyful time.
