COCOMARINDO RULES

PREFACE

The goal of the Condominium Rules is to make Cocomarindo safe, secure, and enjoyable for all based on the Condominium By-Laws (Reglamento) and Costa Rican legislation in a fair, logical, legal, and enforceable way.

Understanding the difference between our By-Laws (Reglamento) and Rules is essential. The By-Laws were written and legalized when the condominium was registered. The By-Laws describe the way our Condominium Association is created and governed. The By-Laws (Reglamento) is an official document registered in the Public Register. The Rules are an internal condominium document describing the day-to-day life and the implementation of the By-Laws.

There are only two types of people in Cocomarindo: Owners and Guests. Renters and contractors are considered Guests of their owners. Owners are responsible for ensuring their Guests are familiar with the Condominium Rules and comply with them.

COMMON AREA

The General Common Area is occupied and used equally and freely by all owners and guests of owners. This is the entire area of the pool, rancho, parking lots, walkways, trees, and shrubs. The Preferred Common Area, as described in the minutes of AGM2022, may be occupied and used by the owner or guest of that unit only. The HOA and Management Staff may enter this area without permission to perform general duties and maintenance. This includes the second level 2-bedroom balconies, the first level 2-bedroom patios, the area in front of the window of the first level 1-bedroom, and all first level units for 1 meter in front of the rear patio door.

The occupants of this Preferred Common Area may barbeque, cook, smoke, play music, play with their pet, or engage in any other normal residential activity as long as they do not bother their neighbors. If a neighbor complains, they must either stop the activity or find a solution. This is known as the Good Neighbor Rule. Costa Rica law states that your right to pursue your activity does not supersede your neighbor's right to peace.

The Private Area is described as the area inside the unit. This is the private area of the owner or owner’s guest. The owner may remodel, change the color, etc., but no structural changes may be done according to By-Law articles 23 and 24.

Moral norms and good manners must be respected, and the tranquility of the property owners should not be disturbed in any way (By-Law, article 17). Inappropriate behavior, including aggressive, offensive, drunk, noisy, careless, or dangerous behavior, is not acceptable.

Glass and ceramic items are not permitted in the General Common Area.

Only certified propane and electric BBQs may be used in the Preferred Common Area. All barbeques must be operated safely and never left unattended.
