NEW RESIDENT INFORMATION GUIDE

 

WELCOME TO EAST KINGS COURT!  You are now a member of the East Kings Court (EKC) community.  It is our hope that the following information will make your transition to condominium living easy and successful.

 

HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION:  East Kings Court Homeowners Association, Inc., is a nonprofit corporation, created to maintain and care for the property of both the Association and, as applicable, the property of the unit owners.  The Association Board of Directors is responsible for enforcement of the rules and regulations of the Association. 

 

MANAGEMENT:  The Homeowners Association conducts much of our business through our board members.  You can contact the board from the info on our web page or email them at ekchoa@att.net.  The inside of condos is the responsibility of the owners.

 

FINES:  A $25 fine may be assessed by the Association for violation of condominium bylaws and rules, including, but not limited to, those listed in this information sheet.

 

GARBAGE:  All garbage must be placed inside the dumpster.  Garbage or other items left outside of the dumpster are not picked up.  Break down boxes before placing in dumpster.  If the dumpster you normally use is full, please use the other dumpster.  If both are full, notify the management who may arrange an extra garbage pickup.  The garbage service normally empties the dumpsters on Tuesdays and Fridays.  Please help to keep our community clean.  If you see trash around your unit, please pick it up and dispose of it properly.  Please appropriately dispose of cigarette butts.

 

KEYS:  The laundry room and pool area must remain locked at all times.  The same key fits the pool area, laundry room and restrooms adjacent to the clubroom.  If you need a key, they are available for a small fee and must be obtained through your landlord.  Contact a board member if there are any equipment problems in the laundry room.  If you lose money in one of the machines or if one is broken please call the 800 number posted in the laundry room. Give the service representative the machine number from the front of the machine so they can repair it.  

 

MAINTENANCE & REPAIRS:  Maintenance and repairs within your unit must be addressed through the landlord or unit owner.  Emergent issues related to electrical problems or water leaks must be addressed by the occupant by calling the appropriate repair contractor and then be reported to the board as soon as practical. 

 

PARKING:  Parking spaces for each unit are assigned as designated at each space.  Please do not park in another unit’s assigned parking space.  Guests must park in the designated visitor parking spaces.  Cars improperly parked may be towed at the owner’s expense.  Boats and trailers are not allowed to be parked on the premises.  Unlicensed or inoperable vehicles may not be parked on the premises for more than 10 days.

 

PEST CONTOL:  For the wellbeing of all residents, the Association provides monthly pest control services.  Pest control is done outside the units only.  If you need the inside of your condo sprayed contact a board member.

PETS:  All pets must be walked on a leash and have proper and current tags.  PET OWNERS ARE REQUIRED TO PICK UP ALL PET DROPPINGS FROM THEIR PETS.  Cats are not allowed to roam the property.  Pet rules are strictly enforced and violations may result in a $25 fine per occurrence.  Animal Control will be contacted to pick up any animals that are out by themselves.  Pets causing a disturbance or nuisance will be removed from the property when directed by the Board of Directors.

 

CHANGE OF ADDRESS:  When residents move, they must notify the post office of their new address.  There is no one at East Kings Court to take care of forwarding mail. 

 

CLUBROOM:  The clubroom located next to the pool is available for residents’ use on an as available basis.  To reserve the clubroom contact any board member.

 

EMERGENCY CONTACT NUMBERS:  We are required by local authorities to maintain a listing that includes emergency contact numbers for all unit owners and residents.  This information is very important in case of water leaks, fire/smoke, etc. so we can contact owners for entry into the unit or to notify them in case of emergencies.  Please fill out and return the  Emergency Contact Information form placed at your door.  It can be dropped in the box by the clubroom door.  Also, register on this web page if you live here or own here for text and email notifications.

 

POOL:  Pool rules are posted at the pool.  Owners and renters are responsible for the conduct of pool guests.

SMOKE DETECTORS:  All units must have operational smoke detectors.  Please check your smoke detectors periodically for proper operation and change batteries when needed.

UPSTAIR UNITS:  If your unit is upstairs, it is very important that you maintain caulking around the bathtub and soap dish.  If these items are not caulked properly, water will leak into the ceiling of the unit below causing considerable damage.  Also, periodically check plumbing under the sinks to ensure it is not leaking.  This too can cause damage to the unit below.  THIS IS NOT COVERED BY INSURANCE and the cost for repairs will be the responsibility of the second floor unit owner.

 

SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY:  If you witness any suspicious activity on the property, please contact the Shreveport Police immediately at 673-BLUE (673-2583).  Also let the management company know about the activity.  In an emergency, always dial 911.
