10. LETTING, OCCUPANCY AND SELLING (1) All tenants (lessees) of units and other persons granted rights of occupancy by any owner of a unit are obliged to comply with these Conduct Rules, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in any lease or any grant of rights of occupancy. (2) No owner, tenant (lessee) or occupier of a unit shall allow more persons so reside in a unit at any one time than as set out below: a. 1 Bedroom Flat: Two Persons b. 2 Bedroom Flat: Four Persons c. 3 Bedroom Flat: Six Persons (3) Notwithstanding sub-rule (2), with the prior written consent of the trustees, which may not be unreasonably withheld, an additional person or persons may be allowed to reside in a section temporarily, but not for a period of more than 14 (fourteen) days at a time and not for an aggregate period of more than 28 (twenty eight) days in any calendar year. (4) An owner who concludes a lease agreement in respect of his section shall be obliged to inform the trustees, manager or managing agent of the tenant’s (lessee’s) name, contact details, and any other details that the trustees deem important for security. (5) The trustees (or manager or managing agent on their behalf) shall supply a tenant (lessee) with a copy of these Conduct Rules in accordance with Management Rule 32(2), for a sum deemed reasonable by the trustees. (6) An owner shall notify the manager, managing agent or trustees forthwith in writing of any change of ownership in, or occupation of his section, or any change in membership or shareholding or beneficiaries of any close corporation or company or trust being the registered owner, and of any mortgage of or other dealing in connection with his section. (7) No section may be let for a period less than six (6) consecutive months, unless by prior approval by the trustees, which may not be unreasonably withheld. (8) A refundable move-in security deposit for the new owner or lessee will be collected to cover any potential damage to the common property. (a) All moves must be scheduled through the Trustees at least seven days in advance. Moves can be scheduled between the hours of 9:00 and 16:00, Monday through Saturday. In the event that there is a multiple demand for the same time, moves shall be scheduled on a “first come, first served” basis. (b) The passenger lift cannot be used for the purpose of moving, except by expressed permission. Movers must use the stairways so as to not damage the lift or inconvenience other owners. (c) Each move in or move out will require a damage deposit, determined by the trustees, in the form of a cheque payable to the Body Corporate of Knightsbridge Mansions. This deposit cheque must be given to the Chairman of the Trustees or the Managing Agent at least seven days before the scheduled move date. (d) The unit owner is responsible for any damage to common areas resulting from the move. Since careless movers and their employees may cause damage in excess of the damage deposit, the owner is fully accountable for any additional damage that might result to any common area, including the lift, the doors, or the stairwells. (e) The moving parties will be requested to tour the common areas both before and after each move-in or move-out, accompanied by a security guard and/or trustee, and complete and sign a damage survey form designed for this purpose. If no damage to the common areas resulted from the move, the full damage deposit will be returned within 10 days following the move. If any damage is found, the damage deposit will be held until the repairs are made or until the cost of the required repairs have been established, and any left over deposit amount will be returned at that time. (9) No form of “time-sharing” or any similar arrangement whereby a person other than the owner or his immediate family may utilise a section for a specified period or periods of time may be concluded in respect of a section. (10) Tenants or lessees of a section shall not keep any animal, insect, reptile or bird in a section or on the common property. (11) To ensure a smooth transfer of ownership or possession, without infringing on the rights of the remaining unit owners, the following procedure must be followed to properly document and process all sales and leases at Knightsbridge Mansions: (a) A unit owner wishing to sell or lease his or her unit must notify the Trustees about this intent in writing before the property is advertised or listed.
