Driftwood Sands Condominium Association, Inc.
Rentals Rules and Regulations, effective 2/26/2021
These Rental Rules and Regulations shall be in effect until amended by the Board of Directors
of DRIFTWOOD SANDS CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION, INC.
Driftwood Sands units may not be rented for less than one full month. The Association is
a single family, non-transient community with all renters expected to treat this community as
they would treat their own homes, and respect the rights of others who live or visit here.
Security – Owner & Renter Responsibilities. All exterior doors to the building MUST remain
locked for the security of our residents. They may not be propped open and left unattended.
Owners are responsible for the action of their renters and are required to make sure that ALL
renters are aware of the building rules by acknowledging receipt of such in writing. Owners and
Renters are required to complete a form provided by the management company that includes
information about the rental to comply with these rules. The completed form will be provided
back to the management company who will then make the Board of Directors aware of new
rentals. A $100.00 fee is due to the Association for each rental PRIOR to the move in date.
Management has the right to request Renters to leave the property should they not abide by the
Rules and Regulations.
Occupancy - Please note that per the Fair Housing Act, (FHA), the rule of Occupancy per unit
is regulated as: Two (2) persons in a one bedroom unit. Four (4) persons in a two bedroom
unit, Six (6) persons in a three bedroom unit and eight persons in a four (4) bedroom unit.
With a child under the age of 12, each limit increases to an additional person per bedroom.
Because this is a small building with limited facilities, Renters may not have guests or invitees
that cause the number of persons in the unit, using the facilities or visiting the property to
exceed the FHA Occupancy Rules. Special dispensation from the Board of Directors is
required should a renter request additional guests or invitees for a short window of time, and
not overnight.
Children – Children shall be under the direct control of a responsible adult. Children under 12
may not use the elevators, library, pool or common areas unaccompanied by an adult. Children
may be requested to leave any of the common or recreational areas for misbehavior by, or on
the instruction of the Manager.
Pets – Renters and/or invitees are NOT permitted to have pets in the unit or on the property.
Recreational Facilities – Renters are welcome to use the pool, gazebo, grills, courtyard and
library as long as they comply with all posted hours of operation and other requirements for their
use. Based on the maximum occupancy rules above, Renters may not authorize anyone who
would cause exceeding the occupancy rules to use the facilities.
UMBRELLAS are stored in the men’s restroom, please return after use.
GARBAGE: all garbage, food, cans, bottles, newspaper, etc. MUST BE PROPERLY BAGGED
AND TIED, BEFORE depositing in the trash chute (opposite each elevator on floors 1-5). ALL
BOXES, no matter how small, will clog the trash chute and must be carried down to the ground
floor and deposited in the dumpsters. Aluminum can recycling containers are at the Gazebo and
both elevator lobbies. Recycling for more items is also available on Bay Boulevard and 27th
Avenue at Brown Park.
GAZEBO may be reserved by DWS owners only, except on holidays and holiday weekends, for
a private party not to exceed 20 people, simply by contacting Management at least 48 hours
prior to your party. For parties larger than 20 persons, formal written approval from the BOD is
required, so those requests need to be made far enough in advance to allow a BOD meeting to
occur. No reserved use of the gazebo may occur without an owner in attendance. Because of
the large number of requests, only one (1) reservation per month is permitted per owner for a
maximum of four (4) hours. The Association grills may NOT be reserved.
POOL AREA/GAZEBO SEATING:
Please do not monopolize the tables and chairs in these areas by leaving towels and/or
personal items unattended on them. If there is no warm body occupying a seat, it is first
come, first serve. Plastic water bottles only allowed in and around the pool area, no glass or
food.
POOL: The pool operating hours are from dawn to dusk daily. Maximum load 12 people. There
is NO Lifeguard. Children MUST be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times. 'Shouting
games' are not permitted.
RESTROOMS: Both poolside restrooms have a lock that can be opened with your ground floor
entry keys. Please help us keep them clean, keeping the door locked is a great help with
keeping non-residents from using them, and let us not forget to turn off the lights when leaving.
DO NOT prop the doors open as the salt air is corrosive and causes the fixtures to rust.
FIRE CODE prohibits cooking grills on our balconies, propane tanks in the unit, nor can they be
stored in our storage areas.
FIRE ALARM means to evacuate the building via the stairwells, immediately. DO NOT USE
THE ELEVATORS. Re-entry is permitted ONLY upon approval of the Fire Department or
Building Representative.
ENTRY DOORS: Never block or prop open the lobby or stairwell doors. Security is important
to us and this puts everyone at risk. If you see an item propping a door open, please remove it.
Never open a door for someone you don’t know. If they belong here, they should either have a
key or must ring the resident from the entry phone. To admit someone who has called your unit
from the entry phone, press 6 on your unit phone.
BICYCLE RIDING, SKATEBOARD, ROLLERBLADING, BALL PLAYING, ETC., are
STRICTLY PROHIBITED in the garage and parking areas. Children and adults should use
caution when entering our lower level as visibility is difficult in some areas and we all must use
caution with cars coming and going.
NO carts, bicycles, strollers, chairs, tables or any other similar object may obstruct or be stored
on the walkways.
As a courtesy to everyone, please refrain from SMOKING on the balconies.
NOISE OR MUSIC of any kind in units, balconies or common areas must not disturb other
residents, particularly between 11:00 pm and 8:00 am. All games. Including pool games,
shuffleboard and cornhole must respect our noise rules.
We hope you enjoy the wonderful lifestyle we have here at Driftwood
Sands and we appreciate your assisting us in keeping it so.
