The corporation recognizes that it has an obligation to ensure that the portion of the individual leaseholder's property rights guaranteed by the corporate bylaws, rules and regulations for building, sanitation, and grounds are met by the corporation. From time to time, non-comp1iance with the regulations governing buildings, sanitation, and grounds may occur on the part of individual leaseholders. The corporation (collective leaseholders) , n;cognizes that some process must be implemented to ensure compliance. The corporation further recognizes that any process designed to facilitate compliance must include safeguards that ensure equity of application, reasonableness, and an appeal process. Therefore, to ensure the common welfare and to protect the property rights of all collective leaseholders, the following process for addressing non-compliance with regulations governing building, sanitation, grounds and dues, assessments, and taxes is implemented. . 1. Upon receipt of written notification from any corporate leaseholder in good standing of an agreed violation, the corporate Board shall consider the letter.

The leaseholder so notified, shall have 90 days from receipt of the letter of non-compliance to bring their property to compliance with the specific rule or regulation. Failure to remedy the non-compliance within the 9O-calendar daytime period by leaseholder shall be cause for the corporation to notify the leaseholder again. The leaseholder then has 15 additional days from this second notification to complete compliance. 5. After this time, but no sooner than 105 calendar days from the date of the mailing of the initial notification of non-comp1iance to the leaseholder, the corporation shall initiate remedial action. Any costs associated with remedial action shall be borne by the leaseholder, provided that prior to initiating any remedial action to bring the property to compliance, the corporation shall notify the leaseholder of its intent. The prevailing party will collect both attornev's fees and costs. APPEAL PROCESS Upon receipt of notification of non-compliance the affected leaseholder shall have 30 days from the registered letter was postmaJked to file a written request of appeal with the corporation Board.
