RULES & REGULATIONS FOR RV SECTION
OF SUNSHINE RV RESORT 2023/2024

This document establishes a uniform system of rules and regulations for the RV section of SUNSHINE RV RESORT. In establishing these rules and regulations, Sunshine RV Resort desires to preserve the values and amenities of this community and to establish a system whereby, despite close living conditions, all within the Park may enjoy their lot and the amenities in a peaceful and responsible manner. The management has taken all reasonable means to insure that your residency here will be safe, pleasant and enjoyable. Many of the following Rules and Regulations are required by law, and other Rules and Regulations are for your safety, health, and welfare, as well as for the protection of the property rights of the Landlord. Consideration and courtesy to others, together with your cooperation in maintaining your unit, will help sustain the standards of Sunshine RV Resort.

1. Rents are payable in advance, due on the first day of the month. All rents must be paid within the first five days of each month and any rent payment due shall be delinquent after the fifth day of the month, giving cause for late fees and/or eviction. All rents are to be paid at the park office. The Park Office is open for business as posted. Sunshine RV Resort does not make a profit off of the electric charge. No “borrowing” of electric from another lot. Based on your meter reading, electric will be added to each month’s rent for anyone staying longer than 6 days. No one under 21 can rent in the RV section full time.

2. You must have a current registration tag displayed on your RV/unit. All units that remain all year must be anchored and skirted. No unit is to be anchored until spotted by Management. (This also includes sheds and storage buildings).

3. No exposed storage of any kind, on any site, and lots must be kept clean. All tools, mowers, ladders, cement, blocks, storage boxes and similar items shall be stored in the unit or an approved shed. No storage of combustible materials underneath units will be allowed.

4. Lot Numbers must be displayed on every unit that is here long term, as required by law. The office must be notified if your unit is for sale. If your unit is for sale, and you aren’t going to be able to show your unit to potential buyers, designate a person whom you trust, to show your unit in your absence. The individual that you choose to show your unit will need their phone number also posted on the “For Sale” sign & have an additional key (or you can put a lock box on your door) in order to show your unit. Sunshine RV Resort personnel cannot show any units and cannot give out keys to potential buyers, unless approved by homeowner. No signs shall be displayed on the property including and not limited to , “For Rent”, “For Hire”, “ Help Wanted”, political signs and no signs offering to perform any service or to sell any product shall be displayed in the Park.

5. Sheds, steps, porches, canopies, other exterior accessories and changes must be approved by the management as to size, material, location, and construction before installation. All work must be performed by a Park approved, state licensed and insured contractor and in accordance to state and local codes, regulations and law. Exterior additions, and any paint color selections, along with paint color chips submitted, must also have management written approval on file prior to construction or painting. No such approval shall be considered unless a written request and /or a drawing has been submitted to management and has been marked “approved” by the manager or Park owner and has been initialed by him/her. A copy of any Permit must be in your file before work is started. If exterior painting or any construction is done without prior written approval on file, you may be asked to eliminate the changes. The foregoing shall not be deemed an exclusive listing of maintenance requirements, but, rather, an illustration of the general requirements that homes and lots be safely maintained in an attractive and well-kept manner.

6. All lots shall be properly maintained by Resident at all times. Residents who leave the park for the summer or vacation will be held responsible for the condition of their unit while they are gone. This shall include an obligation to keep the exterior of all living units in a clean and mildew free condition, to properly care for roofs, gutters, downspouts and exterior building surfaces or other exterior improvements clean and neat in appearance. In the event Resident shall fail to maintain the exterior of his lot or living unit in accordance with the above, then after 5 days notice to the tenant residing in the Park, or 10 days written notice of Tenant residing outside the Park, the Park Owner shall have the ability to come upon the leased premises and perform such maintenance as is required. The Park Owner shall then charge the tenant with the cost of $ 50.00 per hr for said maintenance and any additional equipment costs. For the purpose of performing the exterior maintenance authorized by this rule, the Park Owner shall have the right to enter upon any lot or exterior, at any living unit, at any reasonable time provided for the purpose of inspection. The park owner shall not thereby be deemed guilty of trespassing for such entry. The park owner shall not, in the performance of these functions, unreasonably interfere with the mobile home owner’s quiet enjoyment of the lot and the park owner shall not thereby be deemed guilty of trespassing for such entry

7. Automobiles must be parked off the roadway, on your site only. No more than 1 vehicles on each site if space permits. After dark, lights are required on all moving vehicles, including golf carts, scooters, and bicycles. Repairing of motor vehicles in the Park is prohibited except for minor repairs such as tire changing, battery replacement, fan belt or water hose replacement, with completion of repairs within 2 consecutive days. Only licensed motor vehicles shall be permitted on the Park premises. Motor Vehicles not in working condition must be towed and unlicensed or inoperable vehicles will not be permitted to remain in the Park. By giving a 24-hour notice, the Management of the Park reserves the right to tow any vehicles in violation of this section, at the expense of the tenant, or owner of the vehicle, who has permitted the vehicle or item to remain on the premises. If you are leaving your vehicle here over the summer while you are gone, it must be left on pavement. It cannot be left in the grass.

8. The speed limit in the park is 10 miles per hour and this limit should be observed by all modes of transportation; vehicles, bikes, motorcycles, golf carts, RVs, etc. Our streets are also walkways. All residents are responsible to see that this speed limit is upheld on Park property, both by themselves and their guests! Motorized vehicles, golf carts and scooters, etc. must be driven by licensed drivers only.

9. No trucks, RVs, or commercial vehicles will be allowed on lots or in driveways except commercial vehicles making deliveries or service calls for appliance or other repairs. The Park Owner shall have the power to waive this provision, where in his absolute discretion, he deems it appropriate. All long term residents are required to obtain a Park Sticker for their motor vehicles, golf carts, boat trailers, storage trailers, RVs, etc., to be affixed to the driver side windshield of your vehicles and to the bumper or tongue of trailers. Proof of insurance covering golf carts must be on file at the office. All extra vehicles, trucks, trailers, RVs or boat trailers must be reported to the office, have a Park sticker affixed to its bumper or tongue, and parked in the area designated for that purpose. If a car, truck, RV, boat trailer, storage trailer, etc., does not have a Park sticker, management will assume this does not belong to any resident of the park and it may be towed. Storage fees in the RV Section of the Park, for trailers, boats, or additional vehicles/items, do not depend upon the location of the storage. Storing items on your lot does not relieve you of the additional storage fees. This rule is necessary in order to maintain a clean and uncluttered and well-kept Park for everyone. Management’s decision is final on the right to park boats or other items on your sites or to have item parked in designated storage area. Please see office for storage assignment. Any boats left behind for the summer must be in the storage area and storage fees will apply for either place.

10. All overnight guests must sign in and register with the office at time of arrival. If after office hours, please register in the office at the first opportunity during office hours. All guests shall comply with all rules and regulations of the Park. The Host Resident shall be responsible for any breach of the Rules and Regulations by a guest. Additionally, the Host Resident shall be responsible for any and all damages caused by his guest and any fees accrued during his guest’s stay at the Park. Each guest is allowed to stay, for no more than, a total of two weeks (14
days) in a 12 month period. All guests, over 2 persons on a site, shall be additionally charged at the rate of Five Dollars ($5.00) per day, per person, after the first two weeks. This also includes children. If guest stay more than 2 weeks, after this first two week period, they will be considered an incoming, prospective residents & will be subject to the Park enrollment & approval process. The Host Resident will need to be present at all times with a guest when they are visiting any of the Park facilities/amenities and functions. No matter how many Host Residents a guest may know, there will still be only 14 days or incidents, total, allowed within a 12 month period per individual guest. (or a total of 28 days max 14 days unpaid and 14 days paid per person visiting including children). RVs or units are not to be loaned, rented, or used by anyone for any purpose, other than the owner in the original application and owner will be present at time of guests’ visit.

11. Quiet is required between 11:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. It is important that we respect our neighbor’s privacy and property. Disturbing noises are not allowed at any time. Television, radios and stereos must be kept low at all times. Disorderly conduct, excessive use of alcohol, or any other intoxicating substance, drugs, and profane language will not be tolerated. No weapons of any type are to be used or practiced with anywhere on the premises (including, but not limited to, firearms, pellet, B.B., paint ball guns, knives, bows & arrows). All persons causing a disturbance or being a nuisance may be required to vacate the Park

12. The Park reserves a right-of-way (five feet wide) strip bordering all streets on which nothing may be planted, placed or built. Tenants will be allowed to plant trees and shrubs if tenant is willing to be responsible for and to maintain such plantings. Please check with management as to placement and type. It is imperative to have a minimum of 5 foot clearance (when item will be fully grown) all around and away from a unit in order for our mowers to get through. Once planted, all outdoor landscaping, improvements and plantings made by tenants become the property of the Park whereas, upon termination or leaving the Park, no landscaping improvements, or plantings shall be removed and shall remain on the lot site. Residents are NOT permitted to remove or cut down ANY tree on Park property. If trees or shrubs die, however, with prior approval from Park management, it is the responsibility of the resident to remove them. Any and all stepping stones need to be flat with the surface of the
ground so there will be no damage to mowers when they pass over. No fencing of any kind is allowed. Please help to keep all areas neat and clean.

13. A maximum of 2 House Pets, no weight limit, with prior Park Management approval. All pets must have current license and shot records along with name, age and breed of pet, on file at the Park office. Certain breeds of dogs are not permitted due to insurance restrictions (including but not limited to Doberman Pincer, German Sheppard, Rottweiler, Chows and Pit-Bulls or any mix thereof). Cats are not allowed to run loose outdoors. All pets must be kept in your unit, or when outside, pet must be accompanied by their owner and be properly leashed (6 ft. or shorter). No dog pens are allowed. If a pet is a noise nuisance, offensive or dangerous, the Management reserves the right to ask that the pet be removed from the Park. Promptly clean up after pets and dispose of the waste in a sanitary manner. Pets are not allowed in any of the Park's public areas or buildings. Feeding or watering of stray animals is strictly prohibited. Repeated violations of any of the above could result in loss of pet privileges.

14. The Club House facility is maintained for the benefit of all residents. Resident access to this building shall not be denied by Management unless the property is abused or not kept clean after its use by individuals or committees. Our buildings are not considered Hurricane shelters, therefore, it is suggested all residents go to a designated Hurricane shelter, if need arises.

The following items are NOT allowed in the compactor: Grills, Batteries, Wood, Furniture Appliances, TV’S, Computers, Electronics, Paint, Propane Tanks, Tires. If a large item is put in the dumpster area this will be considered breach of the rules and regulations and could be cause for eviction. Trimmings from landscaping efforts shall be placed in paper bags, off the roadway, for
removal. NO dirt please.
