Facility Rules

[JennyandtheSummerDay]

Hi all! We are updating our facility rules signage (again!) and wanted to ask what you think about the wording: "Children and pets must be supervised at all times" versus "Children and pets must be kept in your vehicle". Should we say something like: "Children and pets must be supervised at all times and dogs kept on a leash"? We have had customers let their kids ride bikes up and down the rows and it is a safety concern.

What are your facility rules? Here is our list. Have we left anything out?

• Speed limit 5 MPH.
• Children & pets must be supervised at all times.
• No loitering or camping.
• No littering or smoking.
• No raised voices or loud music.
• No repair work inside or outside unit.
• Please notify management when bringing in another vehicle with you.
• Use your own code to enter & exit the gate. DO NOT FOLLOW OTHERS.
• For the safety & comfort of all, management will enforce the rules as needed.

Thank you!

I don't currently have anything in my agreement regarding children; but I think I probably should add something. As for pets, mine says this: 'pets are strongly discouraged. If you must bring it with you, it must remain in your vehicle at all times.' The statement used to say that if your pet was outside of the vehicle, it had to be leashed. I removed that part after a tenant was bitten by another tenant's dog, that was leashed, inside of the building where their units were both located.

I had a leashed "service" dog leave multiple piles in the building. The owner did nothing. Dogs must now remain in the vehicle. Period.

Yikes! Thanks for sharing. I think I will reinstate the "Pets must be kept in vehicles". Still pondering the children...

Oh boy! That is special. Thanks for your input!

Great list! Thank you! I didn't think to add a gate tampering fee. That's a good one! Do you also have a set of rules posted on the buildings or just in the rental agreement?

Children, please keep your parents on leashes at all time

Honestly, the dogs can stay in the car. I had a tenant who had their dog on a leash eat the rodenticide in their unit. Luckily the dog is okay but I don't understand how you can not pay that much attention. I now have a sign at my facility that says, "rodenticides, herbicides and insecticides are used at this facility".
