 Las Gaviotas HOA Rules and Fines
The Las Gaviotas Rules are a matter of common sense & safety and will be strictly
enforced at all times. A Violation of the Rules may result in a Fine assessed against the
homeowner. Repeated or serious violations may result in Mexican Law Enforcement
being summoned and eviction of the offender(s) may occur. The Administrator may
refuse entry to or evict renters or visitors on account of a violation of the Rules. Renters
whose presence in the community will be a violation of the occupancy rules will not be
granted entry to the community regardless of whether their name(s) appear on the entry
form.

Fines for Violation of Las Gaviotas Rules

Rule 7 Misconduct $300

Rules 1, 2, 6, 10, 18 and 20 Noise, $100 for first offense by any member of a
Occupancy, Behavior, Animals, Trespass renter group
and Guests $200 for each additional offense by any
member of the same rental group charged
in the first offense
Rule 9 Fireworks $200
All other Rules $100

Note to Homeowners:
Fines are meant to deter conduct that interferes with the quiet and peaceful enjoyment
by homeowners and renters of homes and common areas. A fine levied on account of
violations of the Rules by a renter is charged to the homeowner who has granted
access to the community to such renter. Renters do not directly pay the fines.
Homeowners who rent their homes are encouraged to take steps to stop violations of
the Rules before they occur. Good practices include interviewing renters by telephone
before they arrive, instructing your property manager if you have one to appear
personally at your house when renters arrive to inform them about the Rules and ask
that they respect the neighbors, and posting in your house a copy of the Rules and a
statement that they will be strictly enforced by the guards. Homeowners who rent should
also consider whether the amount of deposit they require is sufficient to discourage a
violation of the Rules by their renters. Anyone who sees or experiences a violation of
the Rules is encouraged to report the violation to the guards immediately. Based upon
their observations at the scene of a reported violation, the guards will determine
whether a violation has occurred.
