The Community is not responsible for damage to homes or lots resulting from acts of nature.

                             8.2.1      Sod: Resident must trim and edge along the sides of the home, walkways, driveways and streets before they become unsightly and overgrown. Generally, this means mowing when the lawn reaches approximately three inches (3") in height. The object is to keep the Resident's lawns and the Community looking neat. Grass sod which has been damaged or destroyed by neglect, disease, insects, lack of water, vehicular traffic, or through other fault of the Resident, must be repaired or replaced at Resident's expense. If, in the opinion of Community Management, all or part of Resident's lawn needs to be re-sodded, Resident will receive written notice from Community Management to complete this repair at Resident's expense.

                             8.2.2      Landscaping: Additional landscaping (including trees and shrubs) may be planted with Community Management's prior written approval as to type and location; plantings too close to the exterior of the home are prohibited. Community Management reserves the right to reject certain species of trees or shrubs as unsuitable for planting on a home site. For example, some unacceptable plants include Melaleuca (punk or paper bark tree), Norfolk Pine, Australian Pines, Chinese Tallow (popcorn tree), Brazilian pepper, Rubber trees, and Spanish bayonet. The home owner is responsible for maintaining and trimming any trees and shrubs existing on the home site before their residency and is responsible for any new plantings which have been added by the home owner. Plantings and shrubbery in the front or the sides of the home cannot cover or obscure windows. Plantings are not to exceed 4 ft. in height and must be trimmed to maintain a 4 ft. maximum height. Trees and shrubs may not be removed without the written consent of Community Management. Sod must be replaced by the home owner where planting is removed.  Community Management must approve the location of any diggings due to the ultimate size of plants, underground utilities, and lawn maintenance. Shrubbery, trees, and plants planted become part of the land and may not be removed without Community Management's permission.

                             8.2.3      Trees and Shrubs: Trees and shrubs which are on the lot of Home Owner and which are destroyed or damaged by high winds, by any act of nature, by disease, or in any other way, must be removed by Resident as part of the required lot maintenance; this includes dead trees and shrubs. Trees must be trimmed to maintain a minimum clearance of six (6) feet from foliage to ground. Resident must pick-up and dispose of fruit dropped from trees, remove dead or diseased plants, shrubs, or trees. Lot maintenance which is to be performed by Resident includes fallen tree or limb removal, limb trimming, fertilizing, root trimming or removal, leaf raking and removal and repair or treatment of damage, disease or infestation from lawn pests. For purposes of this rule, any tree the trunk of which is entirely within the boundary of Home Owner's lot, is considered to be "on the lot." Any tree, the trunk of which is on a boundary line of Home Owner's lot, is the shared responsibility of the adjacent Home Owner (if the trunk is located on a shared boundary line between two lots) or of the Community Owner (if the trunk is on a boundary line separating Resident's lot from a common area of the Community or from an unoccupied lot).

                             8.2.4      Vegetable Gardens: Vegetable gardens are prohibited on the home site except where prior written approval from Community Management has been obtained.

                             8.2.5      Absences: Residents who are going to be absent from the Community for more than ten (10) days must notify Community Management as to what arrangements have been made for the necessary grounds care. Community Management reserves the right to do the necessary work at Resident's expense so that the lot will meet these Rules. Water valve must be shut off when a home owner or resident is gone for more than three (3) days.

                             8.2.6      Watering: Sprinklers and hoses shall not be left running unattended. Excessive watering which causes draining into streets, carports, under homes or adjacent home sites, or otherwise causes run-off from Home Owner's home site is not permitted. Community Management may enter a home site and turn off the water in these instances in order to protect the Community. Automatic lawn sprinkler systems must be approved by Community Management prior to installation and must be constructed in accordance with applicable government regulations after permits are obtained. Restricted watering days and/or hours may be required in compliance with directives from governing authorities; if so, such requirements will be posted in the Community and must be strictly observed.

                             8.2.7      Ditches: Those Home Owners whose lots are adjacent to drainage ditches are required to maintain the space up to the banks of said ditches to prevent unsightliness. Likewise, there shall be no dumping of leaves, clippings or other debris into the ditch by anyone. If any trash is dumped by Home Owner in such areas adjacent to Home Owner's lot, it must be removed at the Home Owner's expense.

              8.3         Laundry Lines: Only removable umbrella or reel-type laundry lines will be approved and must be placed at the rear of the home. Laundry lines must be taken down daily and properly stored between uses. Pole location must be approved in writing by Community Management prior to installation to avoid damage to underground utilities. Lines for hanging clothes outside and lines strung between trees or on carport supports will not be permitted. No one is permitted to hang towels, rugs, rags, wearing apparel, or any other such items on the home or on any other device on the home site, excepting the approved laundry line.

              8.4         Solar Energy Devices: All solar energy devices (including solar powered devices and solar panels) must be approved by Community Management in writing prior to installation and must be constructed and installed in accordance with applicable state and local regulations and shall be installed only after all required permits, if any, are obtained.

              8.5         Fencing: No fences are permitted except those installed by Community Owner.

              8.6         Antennas: No antennas or outdoor reception devices shall in any way be attached to or protruding from any home or home site, except small DBS satellite dishes less than one meter in diameter (39 inches) and broadcast TV antennas (over-the-air and multichannel multipoint antennas). All other outdoor reception devices are prohibited. Further, any equipment that interferes with neighboring reception is prohibited. Prior written permission from Community Management must be obtained before installation of any kind of approved outdoor reception device (DBS satellite dish or broadcast TV antenna) to ensure that the device is located in conformance with the aesthetic standards of the Community.

                             8.6.1      To maintain an attractive community, satellite dishes or broadcast TV antennas must be installed in an inconspicuous location on the rear of the home or in a location that is not visible from the street. If such placement sufficiently impairs the quality of reception, the dish or antenna may be installed on the home or home site in the most inconspicuous location possible and must be attractively landscaped and shielded from view to the greatest extent feasible. However, due to concerns over possible damage to underground utilities, prior written approval from Community Management is required for the placement of a satellite dish or broadcast TV antenna on the home site. Home Owner is prohibited from installing satellite dishes or broadcast TV antennas outside Home Owner's home site.

                             8.6.2      Due to safety concerns posed by winds and the risk of falling outdoor reception devices and masts, these items together may only be as high as required to receive acceptable quality signals and no reception device and mast may be installed that would extend higher than 12 feet above a roofline. Additionally, approved outdoor reception devices shall not be installed nearer to a home site boundary than the combined height of the mast and reception device. Resident is responsible for the maintenance of the outdoor reception device and is liable for all injuries, losses or other damages to any person or property caused by the installation, maintenance, or use of the reception device.

              8.7         Posts, Poles, and Stakes: No posts, poles, stakes, or the like are to be driven into the ground or around the perimeter of the home site without prior written approval of Community Management due to the danger of interfering with or damaging underground utilities. Home Owner will be liable for any expense incurred by the Community resulting from violation of this Rule.

              8.8         Outdoor Equipment:

                             8.8.1      No outdoor equipment, including but not limited to, weight benches, trampolines, outdoor exercise equipment or other outdoor recreational equipment, major appliances, hot tubs and similar personal property or improvements, are permitted on the residential lot. No newly installed swing sets are allowed on the residential lot; existing swing sets may not be replaced.

                             8.8.2      Basketball hoops (either portable or stationary) may be permitted if prior written approval is received before installation, installation is done in a manner that is safe and does not disrupt the privacy of neighbors, the equipment is well maintained, and the Resident does not allow use except under Resident's supervision. Basketball hoops may not be set up on or near the street and must be located at the rear of the driveway. However, if the Community offers a basketball court as an amenity in the future, then basketball hoops are prohibited from being installed or located on the residential lot.

                             8.8.3      Swimming pools, lap pools, hot tubs, spas, saunas, water gardens, water fountains, or any similar personal property or improvements are prohibited.

                             8.8.4      No outdoor fireplaces, fire pits, chimeneas, fire bowls, oil lamps, lanterns, or outdoor heaters of any kind are allowed. Barbeque gas grills, charcoal grills, and smokers used for outdoor cooking are allowed.

                             8.8.5      Resident hereby indemnifies and holds harmless Community Owner, its affiliates and its and their officers, directors, employees, assigns and agents with respect to any claims, damages, loss or cause of action arising from the use of any allowable outdoor equipment.

                             8.8.6      The use of outdoor recreation equipment is subject to noise restrictions. (See rule re: Resident and Guest Conduct for further information.)

              8.9         Outdoor Signage and Flags: Resident may not post "Beware of Dog" or "No Trespassing" type signs at the residential lot or on the home or in the windows of the home. Residents may display one portable, removable United States flag or official flag of the State of Florida, not larger than 4½ feet by 6 feet, in a respectful manner in or on their home. Residents may also display one portable, removable official flag, not larger than 4½ feet by 6 feet, which represents the United States Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Space Force, or Coast Guard, or a POW-MIA flag in a respectful manner in or on their home. No other flags may be displayed on the home or in the yard.

              8.10       Storage: Lawn care equipment, tools, toys, and other equipment must be stored out of sight in a neat and orderly manner when not in use. No articles are to be stored in a visible location outside, on, or beneath the home, the deck, stoop, screened room, or patio.

              8.11       Furniture: Only furniture specifically designed for outside use is allowed outside the home. Patio furniture and grills must be placed adjacent to the home when not in use. Any temporary structures such as portable carport covers, tents and party tents, canopies, pavilions, or other similar structures are prohibited from being permanently installed on the residential lot and must be taken down daily after use and properly stored.

              8.12       Temporary Structures. Temporary structures such as pop up carports, garages or sheds are not permitted.

              8.13       Trespass: Community Owner considers each lot space within the community to be absolutely private to the demised Home Owner, and it shall be a violation of these rules and regulations for anyone to trespass through or upon the lot of another.

9.           GUESTS

              9.1         All persons who are not specifically named in the Rental Agreement are considered as guests. A guest is a person whose stay does not exceed fifteen (15) consecutive days or thirty (30) total days per year. Such person(s) will be required to be approved for residency within the Community pursuant to the Rules and Regulations. Guests shall not be permitted to reside or stay in the Community in the absence of Resident.

              9.2         Guests are entirely the responsibility of their resident hosts and must comply with Community Regulations. Guests who are unruly or who create disturbances will be asked to leave. If Community Management so requests, a guest must vacate the Community within 24 hours of delivery to Resident or the guest of a written demand to vacate.

Community Management will ban from the Community any vehicles that, in its sole judgment, interfere with the peace, privacy, and/or general welfare of other Residents or with the appearance of the Community. Personal vehicles where more than 30% of the vehicle is covered with decals or stickers of any kind are deemed unsightly and are prohibited from being stored in the Community.

                             10.1.2    If space in the designated storage area is available and storage fees as applicable are paid, then Resident may have the non-exclusive right of access to and use of the storage area for the purpose of storing the Resident's qualifying vehicle. Vehicles qualifying for placement in the storage area include a Resident's recreational vehicle or motorhome, boat, boat trailer, camper, utility trailer, motorcycle trailer, or personal water craft.

A guest's vehicle may be temporarily parked in the street right-of-way but never overnight (and in no event for more than five (5) hours). A Resident's vehicles may be temporarily parked in the street right-of-way for drop-off and pick-up for no more than fifteen (15) minutes but never overnight. In the event there is not sufficient space, it is the responsibility of the Resident to locate parking or storage outside the Community and not on other Residents’ lots. Residents are responsible to insure that guests' vehicles comply with these rules.

              10.3       Vehicle Repairs: Mechanical or other repair of vehicles, boats or trailers is not permitted at a residential lot or elsewhere within the Community. Vehicles without current licenses, inspection stickers and tags, or which are inoperable or in a state of disrepair including, but not limited to, those which are rusted, dented, handpainted, or unpainted or which are missing external parts, are not to be stored on the lot or in any other area within the Community. No vehicle may be on jacks, blocks or ramps at any time other than for emergency tire changes lasting no longer than 30 minutes. Due to the safety hazard it presents, any vehicle left on jacks, blocks or ramps is subject to towing, as provided by applicable law, and vehicles on roadways are subject to immediate towing without notice, or with such minimum notice as may be required by applicable law, payable to the towing service and not to Community Owner.

11.         PETS

              11.1       Prior written approval from Community Management must be obtained as to any animal which is to reside in the Community, and such written approval must be obtained and submitted prior to the time the pet is actually brought into the Community. No more than one (1) generally accepted domestic pet which has been approved and registered by the Community Manager are allowed per household. To be approved, the pet must be an inside pet and a true household pet, weighing no more than twenty-five (25) pounds at maturity. Community Management reserves the right to make decisions on pets on a case by case basis but shall not use this discretion to approve or grandfather a pet with a history of barking, attacking, growling, biting, other menacing behavior or any dog whose breed or breed mixture appears to be a dangerous breed as described in the Dog Rule below. Community Management can at any time terminate approvals granted for pets based upon incomplete, inaccurate, or changed information or pet behavior.

              11.2       Completion of the written application form by Resident shall be required before approval of any pet will be considered. All information required on the application shall be provided with complete detail as requested. Such items requested shall include, but not be limited to, the name of the pet, the breed, the adult size of the pet (height and weight), the pet license tag number and current vaccination status of the pet, the veterinarian for such pet, the length of time that said pet has been with Resident and any history of the pet as it pertains to barking, attacking, growling, biting, other menacing behavior or law suits occasioned by its behavior. The application shall be signed and dated by the Resident. Any false or incomplete information on the application, including that of the mix or breed of the pet, will be deemed absolute grounds for rejection of the pet, and shall constitute a violation of the Rules if the pet is not immediately removed.

              11.3       As part of the application, Resident shall submit to Community Management proof that the pet has a valid and current pet license (if a license is required by law), and that the pet has received all required vaccinations and inoculations. Resident shall also bring the pet to Community Management for a visual assessment. Annually, Resident shall be required to provide to Community Management proof of a current pet license and of vaccinations and/or inoculations as are required. This documentation shall be copied and presented to Community Management within 15 days of the renewal date of any pet license and/or vaccination and inoculation requirement.

              11.4       No pet with a history of biting or attacking any person shall be allowed or approved. Any Resident or prospective resident who has previously been sued because of damages caused by any pet for which approval is being sought shall be denied permission for such pet to be brought into the Community.

              11.5       Dogs

                             11.5.1    The following breeds are not permitted under any circumstances, regardless of whether prior approval for the same has been acquired: Doberman Pinschers, German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Pit Bulls, Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Chow Chows, Akitas, wolf/dog mixes, any dog which is a mix of the above breeds, or any dog that exhibits aggressive behavior. An animal is considered "aggressive" when its behavior reasonably causes fear for a Resident, guest or Community employee or contractor. A single bite is sufficient reason, but not a prerequisite for removal under this rule. Properly trained and well-behaved "house dogs" (no larger than twenty-five (25) pounds at maturity) capable of being comfortably maintained indoors, for which immunization and licensing in compliance with the local animal control ordinance (or other comparable municipal ordinance accepted by the local animal control) is current and is maintained current are permitted, provided that their behavior does not in any way become a nuisance to neighboring Residents. Applicants for residency in the Community and Residents of the Community who wish to acquire a dog must provide evidence of such immunization and licensing to Community Management in conjunction with the approval process.

                             11.5.2    Dog owners are required to demonstrate full control of their dog and its behavior. If a complaint is received by Community Management regarding the behavior of a particular dog, which Community Management in its sole discretion determines to be valid, Community Management may require either that the dog be permanently removed from the Community or that the Resident provide evidence of successful formal obedience training by organizations operating to American Kennel Club standards, or equivalent.

                             11.5.3    Dogs must be kept inside the home except when taken outdoors on a leash for reasonable outdoor exercise periods. For this purpose, dogs may be walked on Home Owner's lot or on the common areas or entrances to the Community. When outside the confines of the home, all droppings must be immediately removed by the Resident. In no event may a dog be permitted to trespass on another Home Owner's lot.

                             11.5.4    Dogs shall not, under any circumstances, at any time be caged, fenced, tied or otherwise left restrained but unattended outside the home of the dog's owner. No outside fences or pet restraining perimeters, whether above or below ground, dog houses, dog runs, cages, or other containers or forms of restraint of any kind for the retention of pets will be permitted on the lot.

                             11.5.5    Persistent barking (barks or howls for ten sustained minutes or more on a regular and recurring basis) by any dog at any time of the day or night constitutes unacceptable dog behavior.

                             11.5.6    Community Management will investigate any and all written complaints concerning dogs from any neighboring Resident. When dog owners are determined by Community Management to be out of compliance, the dog owner will be given written notice of such non-compliance, which may lead to eviction for non-compliance under these Rules.

              11.6       Cats

                             11.6.1    Domesticated cats for which immunization and licensing in compliance with the local animal control ordinance (or other comparable municipal ordinance accepted by local animal control) is current and is maintained current are permitted.

                             11.6.2    Cats must be kept inside the home except when taken outdoors on a leash for reasonable outdoor exercise periods.

                             11.6.3    Cats shall not, under any circumstances, at any time be caged, fenced, tied or otherwise left restrained but unattended outside the home of the cat's owner. No outside fences or pet restraining perimeters, whether above or below ground, or other forms of restraint of any kind for the retention of pets will be permitted on the lot.

                             11.6.4    Community Management will investigate any and all written complaints concerning cats from any neighboring Resident. When cat owners are determined by Community Management to be out of compliance, the cat owner will be given written notice of such non-compliance, which may lead to eviction for non-compliance under these Rules.

                             11.6.5    Persistent howling which is audible outside the home by any cat at any time of the day or night constitutes unacceptable cat behavior.

              11.7       Birds

                             11.7.1    Pet birds whose singing or other noises are not audible outside the Home Owner's home are permitted. However, should a pet bird become a noise nuisance, the bird's owner is required to take corrective action.

                             11.7.2    Community Management will investigate any and all written complaints concerning birds from any neighboring Resident. When bird owners are determined by Community Management to be out of compliance, the bird owner will be given written notice of such non-compliance, which can lead to eviction for non-compliance under these Rules.

              11.8       Other Animals: No other agricultural or wild animals, poisonous creatures or exotic creatures such as pigs, iguanas, snakes, ferrets, rabbits, etc., are permitted in the Community.

              11.9       Residents shall hereby be liable for and shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Community Owner, its affiliates and its and their officers, directors, employees, agents, and assigns from all personal injury or property damage caused by pets.

              11.11     Pets are specifically prohibited from the common areas and recreational facilities of the Community.

              11.12     Feeding of stray or wild animals is prohibited.

              11.13     Any pet found running loose may be picked up and delivered to the local animal shelter. If the animal is wearing identifying tags, Community Management may, but is not obligated to, first attempt to return the animal to its owner.

12.         UTILITIES

              12.1       Utility Hook-Ups: All electrical and plumbing hook-ups must be completed by licensed and Community approved service people. Any fees for installation or hook-up of utilities are the Home Owner's responsibility. Home Owner must determine the amperage requirements of his home, appliances, and equipment. If Home Owner's amperage requirement is not met, Home Owner shall bear the cost of replacing or upgrading the breakers, electrical wiring, and connections. It shall be Home Owner's sole responsibility to purchase the wire and required connecting device and to hire a duly licensed electrician for this installation. Home Owner must notify and cooperate with Community Management for the placement of the electrical components. Home Owner is responsible to Community Management and to the other home owners within the Community for any damage that arises from faulty wiring within the home, inadequate amperage, or improper installation of the electrical components.

              12.2       Utility Repairs: All utility problems must first be reported to Community Management before commencing any repairs. The cost for repairs made without notifying Community Management, including any damages incurred, will be the Home Owner's responsibility. Community Management is not responsible for the failure, default, improper act, or omission by any utility supplying such services. Residents must immediately repair any water or sewage leaks in or from pipes or fixtures in, on or under the home up to the point where such systems connect to the Community lines at Home Owner's lot. Home Owner's obligation for maintenance and repair of water, sewer, and electric lines and connections are set forth in the Rental Agreement. Home Owner must arrange for electrical upgrades or modifications necessitated by Home Owner's use of electrical power.

              12.3       The Community Owner shall not be liable for any damage resulting from temporary interruption of water service. Hot water heaters, if installed, should be equipped with an antisiphon valve to prevent a health and safety hazard and avoid damage to the hot water heater in the event of interruption of water service, and Community Owner shall not be liable for any such damage. As noted above, the Home Owner shall promptly repair or cause to be repaired any defective plumbing, electrical, or other related issues in the home, including dripping faucets. The Home Owner shall not waste or unreasonably use the water supply. Watering of lawns may be restricted depending on applicable local and state restrictions regarding same, which must be complied with. Watering outside of any such hours is prohibited.

13.         GARBAGE AND TRASH DISPOSAL

              13.1       All garbage must be wrapped and placed in a garbage container and securely closed at all times. Until ready to be taken by the Resident to the appropriate curbside location for pickup, containers are to be placed behind the home in an area not visible from the street. Also, (1) Yard trash and cuttings must be put in plastic bags containing no trash; (2) Limbs must be tied in bundles, none over 3 feet in length; and (3) Cardboard boxes must be broken down flat - any items falling under one or more of these three categories must be disposed of properly and promptly by the Resident outside of the Community.

              13.2       Loose items such as trash cans, water hoses, building materials and similar outdoor equipment are to be properly stored indoors and out of view. Items such as, but not limited to, sanitary napkins, condoms, metal, rubber, clothes, plastic, paper towels, fabric, grease, disposable diapers, tampons (including those labeled "flushable"), and the like are not to be disposed of in home or Community toilets or drains. Expenses of purging stoppages of sewer lines of such or similar foreign objects shall be the burden of the home owner who occupies the space from which the foreign object originated.

              13.3       The garbage company will pick up trash according to their own schedule and rules.

              17.3       The Community Owner reserves the right to eliminate the provision of any common facility or amenity in accordance with Chapter 723, Florida Statutes. One or more of the facilities or services may become unavailable in the event of natural or man-made disaster, including fire, flood, storm, hurricane, tornado, earthquake, war, civil disturbance, vandalism, or any other circumstances reasonably beyond the control of the Community Owner or of the party providing such facility or service, including strike, work stoppage, shortage of materials, shortage of fuel or breakdown, repair or replacement of equipment, and intervention by governmental authority.

30.         ENFORCEMENT AND EVICTION

              30.1       Prior to admission to this Community, each prospective Resident must sign an acknowledgment that they have read, and that they understand and agree to be bound by, the Rules and Regulations as set forth herein. Please note that ignorance of a Rule and Regulation is not an excuse for violation. Every effort will be made by Community Management to ensure that the Rules and Regulations are enforced. Your cooperation is essential in providing you and your neighbors a peaceful and enjoyable community.

              30.2       Compliance and enforcement of Rules and Regulations is a matter between Community Management and the offending Resident, and as such, no other home owner or resident has any right against Community Management relative to enforcement of the Rules and Regulations against another resident.

              30.3       Community Management will contact Residents who violate a regulation by means of a personal visit, a telephone call, or a Notice of Rules Violation issued in accordance with section 723.061, Florida Statutes.

                             30.4.1    nonpayment of lot rental amount;

                             30.4.2    conviction of a violation of a federal or state law or local ordinances, if the violation is detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of the other residents of the Community;

                             30.4.3    violation of a Community rule or regulation, the Lot Rental Agreement, or Chapter 723, Florida Statutes;

                             30.4.4    a change in the use of land comprising the Community or any portion thereof; or

                             30.4.5    failure of the purchaser, prospective tenant, or occupant of a home situated in the Community to be qualified as, and to obtain approval to become, a tenant or occupant of the home, such approval being required by these Rules and Regulations.

                             30.4.6    Pursuant to Section 723.061(1)(e), Florida Statutes, if a purchaser or prospective tenant of a home occupies the home before approval is granted, Community Management may require that the purchaser, prospective tenant, or unauthorized occupant vacate the Community within 7 days of receipt of a notice demanding same.

31.         WAIVER

              No waiver of any default by Resident shall be implied from any omission by Community Owner to take any action with respect to the default if such default persists or is repeated. No express waiver shall affect any default other than the default specified in the express waiver, and that only for the time and to the extent stated in the express waiver. One or more waivers of any covenant, term, or conditions of the Lease Agreement or these Rules by Community Owner shall not be construed as a waiver of a subsequent breach of the same covenant, term, or condition. The consent of Community Owner to any act by Resident requiring Community Owner's consent shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary Community Owner's consent to any subsequent similar act by Resident. The rights and remedies of Community Owner contained herein are cumulative and shall be in addition to those prescribed by law.

32.         SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS

              Community Management reserves the exclusive, unrestricted right to grant special exceptions to these Rules when, in the exclusive opinion of Community Management, special circumstances warrant the granting of special exceptions or written waiver of a particular provision as it applies to a particular Resident or Residents, so long as such exception or waiver does not interfere with the general welfare, health and safety of the other Residents of the Community. For example, variances to these Rules may be granted by the Community Management due to space limitations, design considerations, in cases where the intent of a Rule or Regulation is met but not the specific requirement, or in such other circumstances where the exception will not disturb the quiet enjoyment of the Community by other Residents, or when the basis for the variance is deemed sufficient in the discretion of Community Management.

33.         SURVIVAL

              If any portion of these Rules and Regulations is found to be void or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the balance of these Rules and Regulations shall remain in full force and effect, so long as the general intent of the parties continues to be met. To the extent State or local law is inconsistent with any terms of these Rules and Regulations, such State or local law shall control the relationship between the parties hereto.

              HOME OWNER acknowledges that he or she is in full agreement with these Community Rules and Regulations being an integral part of the Application for Residency and Rental Agreement between Resident and Community Owner. Resident acknowledges that violations, infractions, breach, or default of these Community Rules and Regulations will be grounds for termination of Resident's Rental Agreement and eviction from the Community pursuant to Section 723.061, Florida Statutes.
