Pets
We welcome all pets in the community, and we ask that all residents be good and courteous pet owners. Pets are required to be on a leash (no greater than 5 feet in length) at all times when outside of a residence. Pet waste must be picked up and disposed of in trash receptacle. Multiple pet stations and trash receptacles are located throughout the community.
Parking
Parking on the private streets in the community is by permit only…see Community Map. Permits can be used by residents and/or their guests. Vehicles not displaying a valid parking permit while parked on private streets are subject to towing. Vehicles parked in “No Parking” zones, “Fire Lanes”, in alleys or blocking access to other residences are subject to immediate towing.

Renting Your Property
If your unit is a rental property, or soon to become one, here are few tips that will help landlords, tenants and the Association.
- Get your license – The City of Greenbelt requires owners who intend to rent their property to obtain a rental license. This must be renewed annually and an inspection of the property is required. Attached is the license application. <Link to City document>
- Educate Prospective Tenants – Be sure to inform prospective tenants about the special considerations of living in a homeowner’s association before they sign a lease.
- Use a Lease Addendum – It is recommended that you attach an addendum to your lease that covers the specifics of the community and requires rents to adhere to the association’s rules. A good lease addendum should include:
- A requirement that the tenant to obey the bylaws, rules and regulations of the Association. (Provide tenant with copies)
- A requirement that the tenant pay fines for association rule violations.
- A requirement that the tenant pay replacement cost for lost parking permits.
- Inform the Association – Once your lease is signed, provide the Community Manager with a copy. Additionally, contact information for your tenant and property manager should be provided as well.
