I. INTRODUCTION
A. GENERAL
In order to adequately operate and maintain the condominium property within Trophy Club at the
Strand, enhance property values, and promote a community of congenial residents, The Board of
Directors has been entrusted with the authority to promulgate and enforce reasonable Rules and
Regulations affecting the Condominium Property. This document provides owners, lessees, and
guests with the current Trophy Club Rules and Regulations. These Rules and Regulations are
intended to help ensure the quality of life and to protect the collective investment of the Trophy
Club community of owners. It is imperative that each owner, lessee, and guest understands and
comply with these Rules and Regulations. Owners, lessees and guests are also encouraged to
review the Trophy Club at the Strand Declaration of Condominium which describes Limited
Common Elements, Assessments and Liens, Maintenance, Limitation upon Alteration and
Improvement, Use Restrictions, Sale and Leasing of Units, Fines and other important matters
relevant to the Trophy Club community. These Rules and Regulations are subordinate to state and
local laws, Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, Restrictions and Easements for The Strand, The
Declaration of Condominium for Trophy Club at The Strand and Articles of Incorporation and
By-Laws of Trophy Club.
B. AUTHORITY
The Board of Directors will develop, implement and oversee the enforcement of these Rules and
Regulations. The property manager will enforce the Rules and Regulations. Unit Owners will
report violations to the property manager. If the Unit Owner feels the actions of the property
manager are inconsistent or ineffective with regard to the enforcement, the Unit Owner may
request the designated Director of the Association investigate the situation and recommend a final
decision regarding the remedy to the Board. Board members will refrain from becoming
entangled in disputes with Unit Owners and the enforcement of these Rules & Regulations by
allowing the property manager to perform this function.
All Unit Owners, in addition to any other obligation, duty, right and limitation imposed upon them
by the Declaration of Condominium, the Articles of Incorporation and the By-Laws of the
Association and the Condominium Act, shall be subject to and agree to abide by these Rules and
Regulations which shall be applicable to all Unit owners, their families, guests, tenants and
lessees. These Rules and Regulations will be reviewed periodically by the Board of Directors and
updated or amended from time to time to better serve the membership.

C. ENFORCEMENT
Any violation of Rules and Regulations shall be reported to the management company. Individual
Unit owners are not authorized to enforce these rules independently.
Minor infractions will be brought to the attention of the violating Unit Owner and the Board in
writing by the Property Manager. Serious and repeated violations will be referred to the Board for
appropriate action, including, but not limited to, fines, legal actions and suspension of the right to
use the Common Elements. These Rules and Regulations shall apply equally to actions of
families, owners, guests and lessees. Owners are responsible to ensure their families, guests and
lessees comply with these Rules and Regulations. Owners, their families, guests and lessees may
not direct, supervise or attempt to assert control over the Property Management Company, their
employees, or contractors without prior Board approval.
II. RESIDENCY

In no event shall occupancy exceed two (2) persons per bedroom and / or den. The Board shall
have the power to approve occupancy of a Unit.

so long as:
The existence or operation of the business activity is not apparent or detectible by sight, sound or
smell from outside the residence.

The business activity does not involve persons or other outside services coming onto the property
to conduct said business or related services with the unit owners or others.
C. EMERGENCY ACCESS
Each Unit owner shall provide the management company with a duplicate key to their Unit, so
the Association may exercise its right of access for maintenance or emergency purposes. If any
lock is changed or a new lock installed on any door, the Unit owner shall provide a duplicate key
to the management company. Failure to comply with this provision may result in the
Association needing to access the Unit in your absence by force, or by hiring a locksmith, both of

XIII SIGNS
No sign or advertisement of any nature shall be posted or affixed to any of the common elements or
limited common elements (including the garage with the overhead garage door open) without Board
approval. “Open House” signs must comply with strict standards and guidelines established by The
Strand Master Association. Security signs, placed close to the building, are permitted as are detached
name signs.
XIV. SOLICITATION
There shall be no solicitation by any person anywhere in the buildings or the common elements for
any cause whatsoever unless invited by the Unit owner to be solicited, or specifically authorized by
the Board.
XV. ASSESSMENTS
This policy and procedure is adopted to implement Sections 9.2 through 9.6 of the By-laws.
Unit Owners are responsible for the timely payment of all regular and emergency assessments
established by the Board of the Association in accordance with the By-laws.
The Board has determined that regular assessments will be due in the office of the Property Manager
not later than the first day of each calendar quarter.
The Board has directed the Property Manager to send a reminder invoice for the next regular
assessment payment due to each Unit Owner at an address provided by the Unit Owner via regular
mail during the last month of each calendar quarter. The Unit Owner is responsible for providing the
Property Manager on a timely basis with a current address to be used in mailing the reminder
invoice. The Unit Owner is responsible for the timely payment of regular assessments regardless of
whether a reminder invoice is received.
In the case of Assessments for Emergencies (as defined in Section 9.3 of the By-laws), an invoice
mailed to the current Unit Owner address on file with the Property Manager, not less than ten (10)
days prior to the due date for the emergency assessment, will constitute proper notice under Section
9.3 of the By-laws. The Unit Owner will be responsible for timely payment of the emergency
assessment, provided that this policy is followed, even if the Unit Owner, through no fault of the
Property Manager or the Association, does not receive the invoice.

Except as provided in the Transition Provisions of the following procedure, The Board will strictly
enforce the provisions of the By-laws related to late assessments (Sections 9.4 and 9.6) and the
Declaration of Condominium (Section 5) unless a Unit Owner can establish to the satisfaction of the
Board that a specific exception in the application of late charges and/or interest should be granted.
Examples of possible acceptable reasons for granting an exception include: serious illness or death of
the Unit Owner during the period in which an assessment is due; sale of the Unit near the end of a
quarter with the assessment to be paid from the closing settlement. Requests for exceptions must be
in writing from the Unit Owner delivered to the President or another Officer of the Association. A
request for an exception will not automatically delay or defer any action or right of the Association
with respect to the late assessment.
The following procedure governs the collection of delinquent assessments:
1. A late charge of $25 or 5% of the unpaid assessment amount, whichever is greater, will be
charged to any Unit Owner’s account if the Unit Owner’s Assessment payment is not received in
the office of the Property Manager by the close of business on the first day of each calendar
quarter. In the event that the first day of the quarter falls on Saturday, Sunday or a holiday, the
deadline is the close of business on the next business day following the first day of the quarter.
2. If the Assessment remains unpaid on the close of business of the 11th
day of the calendar quarter
(or the next business day following, if the 11th
day is a Saturday, Sunday or holiday), the
Property Manager will mail a notice to the Unit Owner advising that the payment is past due,
that a late charge has been applied and that interest will accrue on the Assessment balance due
from the second day of the quarter until paid at a rate of 18% per annum. The notice will also
include the return address for payments and a telephone number for questions.
3. If the delinquent assessment is paid prior to the 11th
day of the quarter, the Property Manager will
invoice the Unit Owner for the late charge. This invoice will be due and payable no later than 31
days from the date of the invoice.
4. In the event that any amount due the Association from a Unit Owner, including regular or
emergency assessments, late charges and/or interest becomes 30 days past due, the Property
Manager will mail the Unit Owner a past due notice. Such notice will include the amount due,
the return address for payments, a telephone number for questions, and notice that the account
will be referred to the Association’s attorneys for collection if not paid in full within fifteen (15)
calendar days from the date of the past due notice.
5. If the Unit Owner fails to pay the balance due by the due date of the past due notice, the Property
Manager will discuss the account with the Treasurer or the President of the Association before
Trophy Club at the Strand Rules and Regulations as Amended, October 29, 2013
19
forwarding it to the Association’s attorney for collection under the terms of Sections 9.4 and 9.6
of the By-laws and Section 5 of the Declaration of Condominium.
6. Unit Owners shall be liable for payment of assessments, late fees, interest and charges (attorneys’
fees and other costs of collection) under terms of the Declaration and Florida law. The
Association may accelerate unpaid assessments and charges as provided by Florida law.

obligations including but not limited to suspension of use rights to the common elements,
suspension of voting rights, suspension of right to serve on the Board, denial of lease approval
and denial of approval for stays of family or guests in absence of the Unit Owner.
8. Where a Unit Owner’s assessments or charges are in arrears and the unit is rented, the
Association may direct rent from the unit to be paid directly to the association until the
outstanding amounts are paid in full.
Assessment Amendment (Authorized December 28, 2004)

Trophy Club beginning in fiscal year 2005. Assessment revenues collected under this provision
provide an initial capital contribution for reserve funding.

of two (2) weeks not more than two (2) times per year. Use by the same family or guests shall not be
consecutive.

commencement of the stays. There is no fee required with the application. The application form
