Common use of Maintenance by Owner Clause in Contracts

Maintenance by Owner. Each Owner shall maintain his Lot and Residential Unit in good repair. The yards and landscaping on all improved Lots shall be neatly and attractively maintained, and shall be cultivated and planted to the extent required to maintain an appearance in harmony with other improved Lots in the Property. If any sidewalk is partially or completely located on an Owner’s Lot and third parties have an easement to use such sidewalk, or if any sidewalk is located between a boundary line of the Owner’s Lot and the curb of any adjacent street, then the Association (and not the Owner) shall be responsible for the maintenance and repair of such sidewalk (other than pressure-washing the sidewalk to keep the same free from unreasonable accumulations of mold and mildew, which shall be the responsibility of the Owner from time to time, as needed). During prolonged absence, an Owner shall arrange for the continued care and upkeep of his Lot. Except for areas owned by the Association or that the Association has elected in writing to maintain, which election may be terminated by the Association at any time, each Owner shall also maintain in good condition and repair any landscaping within the portion of any adjacent right of way that is located between such Owner’s Lot and the curb of the adjacent street. In the event a Lot Owner fails to fulfill his maintenance and repair obligations under this Article or in the event an Owner fails to landscape his Lot as required by Section 5.14 of Article V, the Architectural Committee may have said Lot and residence landscaped, cleaned and repaired and may charge the Lot Owner for said work in accordance with the provisions of said Section. An Owner shall not allow a condition to exist on his Lot which will adversely affect any other Lots or Residential Units of other Owners. Any repainting or redecorating of the exterior surfaces of a Residential Unit which alters the original appearance will require the prior approval of the Architectural Committee.
