These bins can be purchased at any hardware or variety store in Ocho Rios.

at different times on your collection day.
3. Place organics, leaf or yard waste in plastic bags next to your garbage bin. In
other words, do not mix leaf and yard waste with household garbage.
4. Put garbage at the curb in the morning of your collection day and no later than
11:00 a.m.
5. Separate all broken glass from your garbage and place it in a cardboard box
clearly labelled 'broken glass'. Doing otherwise can result in serious injuries to
collection operators.

HOME DEFECTS
LIABILITY PERIOD
We strive to provide you with a home of the highest quality. However, in the event that
you may need remedial works to be carried out to your Home, there is a six-month (180
days) DEFECTS LIABILITY PERIOD which starts from the day you take possession
of your Home.
Please refer to clause 7.02 (a) & (b) and 7.03 of your CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT:
… appear or arise within one hundred and eighty (180) days of the Date of
Possession and written notice thereof shall have been given by the Owner to the
Contractor within such period…
Here is the procedure:
1. Create “list of defects”
2. Send “list of defects” via email to your respective Sales agent
3. The Remedial Supervisor and the remedial works crew will visit your home and
arrange a convenient time for the works to be completed.
Please note: The terraced stepping-stones are not built to support vehicles.
Therefore, homeowners are asked not to park their vehicles in this area. If you
chose to do so, Richmond will not be liable for broken stepping-stones.
Subterranean Termites
Regrettably the location of the property is in a zone that is adversely affected by
subterranean termites. We are able to manage any possible damage by the termites by
treating each Lot; treatment is done by a reputable company.
We provide each homeowner with a warranty certificate for Three (3) years, within this
time any treatment and/or damages are at the expense of Richmond. Thereafter, the
homeowner is responsible for the treatment of their home. It is recommended that the
homeowner continues treatment and obtain a warranty from a reputable company.

WATER HEATER BACK-UP SWITCH
which is located inside the pantry cupboard in the kitchen.
This switch enables water to be heated via JPS electricity
as opposed to Solar Energy. The hot water heater should
be maintained to prevent the buildup of calcium in the
heater and the pub that operates the system. Please contact
a reputable company to perform maintenance.

MAKING CHANGES TO YOUR EXTERNAL PROPERTY
All changes to the external property require approval by the Richmond Homeowner’s
Association Limited’s (RHOA) Architectural Review Committee.
The Architectural Review Committee’s role is to review designs for conformance to the
guidelines and not to participate in a substantial way in the design process or to suggest
alternative designs. Approval will only be given to designs that follow the guidelines
outlined by the RHOA committee and are in line with the set of possible changes that can
be made.
The intention is to create a community which is aesthetically unified through the use, by
all owners, of a common set of design Guidelines. The Guidelines are not intended by
any means to stifle creativity but rather to assist homeowners.
We recommend that owners familiarize themselves with these guidelines.
Guidelines
You are allowed to: (1) Enclosed the Veranda using one of two approved designs; see Fig 1.
(2) Install Wrought Iron Security Grill using ONLY the approved design; see Fig 2.
(3) Add an additional bathroom / powder room. Please collect approved design from
the RHOA’s office.
(4) Cover the carport area and or the drying yard area. Please collect approved design
from the RHOA’s office.
You are NOT allowed to: (5) Change the external colour to your home.
(6) Change the roofing material and colour of your home.
(7) Install fence, hedge or other construction of any kind, tree or plant of a height
above 1.35 meters above road level and within 5.4 meters of any road intersection
or along any road way or any adjoining boundary.

Policy Breach Making Changes to External Property
Breaches will be handled as follows:
1. The property manager will contact the home-owner and advise them of the breach
and they will agree on a time line in which the infraction will be corrected.
2. The property manager will follow-up after the agreed on time-line and if the
breach has not been corrected, written notices will be delivered by email or
regular mail. Please note; if the home-owner does not reside in the Palms or is off
the island the notice will be mailed or emailed to the address on file.
3. Non-compliance of the written request will result in referral to our legal
representative for action.
PAGE 26
MAINTAINING YOUR LANDSCAPING
Each Lot is the responsibility of the individual home-owner.
We ask you to follow the landscaping guidelines already established as anarchy in the
community's landscaping would decrease property values.
Here are a few important things to note:
1. Your backyard is planted with grass just before or just after you take possession.
2. The newly planted back yard needs watering and constant weeding until the grass
has “caught” (in about three months)
3. Over half of the water you use at home is used outdoors, which makes watering
efficiently one of the best and easiest ways to save water.
Proper watering will also keep your landscape plants healthy and beautiful
throughout the year.
4. Note: Please ensure that your landscape contractor (gardener) is
aware, ‘Weed whackers’ & Power Tools cannot be used:
prior to 8:00am or later than 6:00pm on weekdays.
prior to 10:00am or later than 4:00pm on weekends.
We encourage homeowners not to use to the RHOA employed Landscapers.
PAGE 27
Policy Breach
Landscaping
If your landscaping is not maintained to the standards outlined in the covenant Appendix
1, First Schedule, Clause k (page 33) of this document, the RHOA will take action to
correct this breach.
Rule: To maintain the lawn and garden on the Lot to a standard which is no less
than as landscaped and handed over by Richmond Development Company
Limited, failing which the Company shall be entitled, at the sole cost and expense
of the Owner, to maintain the lawn and garden and shall be entitled to carry out
the necessary remedial work. The cost of such remedial work shall be
recoverable from the Owner by the Company as part of its Maintenance.
The property manager will advise you of any landscaping breaches. Once advised,
remedial works must be completed within one week. Here are the steps:
Step Action 1 The landscaping department supervisor checks the entire development on a monthly
basis and will issue a report, to the Property Manager and the RHOA
administration, of properties that are not meeting standards.
2 Breach notices will be sent via email or a call will be made to the home-owner

CONDITIONS OF SUPPLY
1. Customers must pay the cost for pipes, fittings, labour and all other costs associated with the
installation and connection of a supply to their premises.
2. Customers must make a deposit on account at the time of service request or if an existing customer
account is disconnected. This deposit is to cover any water charges that are unpaid on account. NB: This is different from the installation cost and/or reconnection cost.
3. Pipes which are laid outside the boundaries of the customer’s premises belong to and are the
responsibility of Richmond Development Limited. Where meters are placed outside the premises,
piping from the meter to the premises is the responsibility of the customer.
4. Metering of a customer’s supply line is at the discretion of the RESL. Where no meter has ever been
on the premises, the consumption charged will be stipulated by the RESL. and will be subject to
review from time to time.
5. When a meter reading is not available, the RESL. will use estimates based on an average of the last
three (3) consistent readings within a specific period.
6. A meter can be temporarily installed on premises to adjust or determine a fixed consumption for a
supply which is not permanently metered.
7. The RESL. reserves the right to bill a customer retroactively in the case where: {a} there is an unmetered supply and the RESL. determines that the customer has been
undercharged based on misrepresentation of the number of household occupants; or
{b} the customer has trespassed or illegally connected to the RESL network to reflect a lower
consumption; or
{c} there is any other evidence that consumption is greater than the previous charges. or
{d} where a customer has been using the central sewerage system operated by the RESL and was
not charged for the use of such service
8. Bills must be paid monthly, on or before the due date specified on the bill. In the event the customer
does not receive a bill, the customer is obligated to ascertain the monthly charges from the RESL.
9. Where an account is in arrears, the RESL. reserves the right to disconnect without notice at any time
before payment of the full amount required is made; where disconnection made on the same day
that the required payment is made, the disconnection shall be lawful and the reconnection fee shall be due and payable. The RESL. will charge the customer a fee for reconnecting the supply and such
fee shall be specified by the RESL. from time to time. The supply will not be reconnected until the
arrears and reconnection fees have been paid.
10. The RESL. reserves the right to temporarily disconnect or reduce a supply without notice, and to
effect repairs to any part of its water supply system. No liability shall be attached to the RESL. by
reason of such reduction or temporary discontinuance of the supply, nor shall the liability of the customer to pay all proper rates, charges or fees be affected. RESL reserves the right to vary
conditions/availability of supply at any time and no liability shall be attached to the RESL as a result.
During periods of drought, the customer will be notified at least 24 hours before.

11. A Commercial rate will be charged for water consumed on a premises where trade or business is conducted. NB. Where the service applied for, is for construction purposes the applicable rate for water consumed is the commercial rate. It is incumbent on the customer to inform the RESL when such construction is completed so that a review can be done of the rate where applicable.
12. Supply of water to others, whether sold or free of charge, is illegal and can result in disconnection
and prosecution.
13. Violating water restrictions can result in a fine.
14. Customers can be disconnected for allowing water to run to waste.
15. Customers are liable for meters damaged on their property and will be charged for any replacement costs.
16. Customers should not erect any structure (whether temporary or permanent) on or above the meter
nor around the meter for a minimum of one 91) meter radius, or otherwise cause the meter to be become obscure or unreadable.

either party, that is, the customer or the RESL. All outstanding amounts to the date of termination of
the contract must be settled.
