Note

The express terms of a homeowner's agreement contain an undertaking on the part of the homeowner not to allow anything which is or becomes a nuisance, inconvenience or disturbance to other occupiers at the park and this undertaking extends to the behaviour of pets and animals.

Note

These rules do not have retrospective effect. If the keeping of the pet complied with the previous rules, an occupier will not be treated as being in breach when these rules take effect. However, when the pet dies or leaves it can only be replaced if this would comply with these rules.

Water and Sewage

23. You must only use fire point hoses in case of fire.

24. You must not place anything in to the sewage system which is likely to cause a blockage i.e. plastic bags, vegetable peelings, J-cloths, disposable nappies, sanitary towels etc.
