Re: House Rules.
Here are our house rules which are fairly comprehensive. You can amend them to suit your purposes. You might not have it to hand but it's a good idea to check your lease as that's where most of the house rules for a development are formulated:
Security
Main lobby doors and other communal entrance doors should be kept closed and locked at all times. Strangers should never be admitted and any suspicious behaviour immediately reported to local Gardai.
Parking/Vehicles
Residents may only park in their designated parking spaces. Anyone parking in unauthorised spaces will be clamped.
Occasional visitors must use the Visitor spaces provided; residents may not use these spaces themselves.
No commercial vehicles are allowed on premises
Anti-Social Behaviour
Noise in general should be kept at a level that will not disturb neighbours. In particular no noise should be audible between 10.00pm – 8.00am.
Residents are responsible for the appropriate behaviour of children and guests and will be held accountable for any subsequent damage or inconvenience caused.
Open green areas are an aesthetic feature of the development and as such should not be used for sports/games (ie: skateboarding) that could cause inconvenience or be unsightly to other residents.
General
Balconies are not be used for storage or laundry. Balcony screens are not permitted.
No satellite dishes or antennae are to be erected on any part of the balcony, roof or building.
It is prohibited to display notices or posters in windows or balconies.
Junk mail should be disposed of by individuals addressed – do not leave lying around.
No pets are allowed to be kept on the premises
The bin bays are for domestic waste only. Dumping of non domestic waste (ie: furniture/electrical items etc) in bin bays or refuse bins in any other area of the development is strictly prohibited.
Health and Safety
Children and minors should not be left unsupervised in common areas. In particular the underground car park, stairwells and bin bays present significant hazards and are not safe for unaccompanied children.
All refuse should be bagged, tied securely and placed in appropriate refuse bins. No refuse should be left on balconies, in corridors or outside bin bays where they will attract vermin. Liquids should not be let drip out of bin bags as this will stain common area carpets.
All corridors, stairwells and other common areas are smoke free zones.
The storage of hazardous materials (gas, petrol etc) which would include motorbikes/bbq’s etc should be safely and responsibly stored. Storage of such materials on balconies is prohibited as they present a significant fire hazard to the fabric of the building if they were to ignite or explode.
All residents should install a small all-purpose fire extinguisher in their apartments. A carbon monoxide alarm is also recommended considering the type of gas fires we have installed.
No materials can be stored in communal corridors (ie: bicycles, building materials etc) as they constitute a fire hazard and block essential exit routes.
Landlord and Tenants
It is the responsibility of Landlords to ensure tenants have a copy of House Rules and abide by them.
Landlords will be held liable for the behaviour of their tenants and any subsequent financial implications.
Up to date contact details of tenants should be supplied to XXX Estate Management.
