	YOUR Home Maintenance Responsibility


		In the current housing market, our property values must compete with surrounding neighborhoods which are all well groomed and maintained. The appearance of each home and our common grounds is used to assess the value of our homes in relationship to other communities.
	It is your responsibility as a homeowner to maintain your property in accordance with the Association covenants.

	Compliance is critical to ensure property values of the community are maintained at an optimum level. The neighborhood is inspected four times per year for violations. A new violation process is currently being considered by the board which could impact your annual dues if homeowners do not comply with our covenants. Please assist us in reporting violations to the covenants to Specialty Management.
The New Manderley Checklist Check your own property for compliance before the management company conducts their next review of the neighborhood! Download and print the checklist here. Use the questions below to ensure your home is maintained to the standards of our covenants. The Homeowners Association is receiving many complaints from our community members! This is the same checklist that will be used by your new management committee to assess the maintenance of your home and yard. *If your answer to any of these questions is YES, please correct the problems you identify within 30 days.
