Management (“Agent”),

The Royal Crest Condominium (the “Condominium”) is a high-rise condominium community consisting of 128
residential apartments, four commercial apartments, 60 garage parking spaces, three outside parking spaces
and 136 storage lockers, all of which are privately owned. The owners of apartments at the Royal Crest
Condominium constitute the Royal Crest Condominium Association (the “Association”). Board of Directors (the
“Board” or “Board of Directors”) is elected annually by the members of the Association, which pursuant to the
Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Royal Crest, a Horizontal Property Regime (the
“Declaration”), is empowered to impose reasonable rules for the use and the occupancy of the Condominium.
All owners, residents and guests at the Condominium by virtue of their ownership, residency or use of any
portion of the Condominium are subject to, and must comply with, the following House Rules and the
Association’s governing documents. The terms used in these House Rules shall have the meanings given to
them in the Declaration, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. These House Rules supersede any
prior versions.

I. General Rules of Behavior.

A. No owner, resident, or guest shall commit any act or engage in any behavior which results in
any infringement on the right of any other owner or resident to the reasonable use, enjoyment
and preservation of his residential or commercial apartment. This rule is the basic primary
guide for all conduct in and around the Condominium and forms the basis for the following
specific rules. Nothing in these or in any Association rules is intended to bar properly
documented service animals from accompanying their owners with disabilities into the
building.
 B. It is expected that sounds emanating from apartments at any time due to activities of owners,
tenants or guests, including parties or entertainment systems, should not be of such levels as
to be reasonably objectionable to others. The creation of loud noises of any kind is expressly
prohibited between the hours of 10:00 pm and 8:00 am.

II. Management.

Under the powers granted to the Board of Directors by the Declaration, the Board of Directors has
engaged a management company, Trestle Community Management, the “Association Manager”, to
assist the Board of Directors in overseeing the operation of the Association. In addition, the Board of
Directors has hired a Resident Manager. Owners, residents or guests are to contact the Resident
Manager concerning day-to-day problems while significant problems should be reported to the
Resident Manager, Association Manager, and/or the Board of Directors as appropriate.

The Board of Directors has delegated many of its responsibilities for maintenance and operation of
the Association to the Association Manager and Resident Manager. The authority of these Managers
is not limited by the terms of these House Rules; the Managers are expected and authorized to take
appropriate action for the benefit of all owners and residents when necessary, without prior approval
from the Board of Directors.

Each apartment owner is obligated to provide the following information to the Resident Manager and
update all such information as it may change from time to time:
1. A fully completed “Owner/Resident Information Sheet” as provided by the Resident Manager,
updated as necessary to include relevant changes.
2. On all rental units, the name, email address and telephone number of all persons entitled to
occupy the owner’s apartment, a copy of all leases to the owner’s apartment, and the owner’s
mailing address outside of the Condominium;
3. On all rental parking spaces or storage lockers, the name and unit number of each person
entitled to utilize or occupy the owner’s parking space and/or storage locker and a copy of the
written rental agreement relating to the parking space and/or storage locker.

III. Building Security.

Building access keys will be issued to each new resident by the Resident Manager, and additional
or replacement keys are available upon request. The attached Fee Schedule defines the cost to
acquire or replace these devices. Magnetic key fobs open the front lobby doors and the rear alley
doors by touching a magnetic pad. “Medeco” keys open the doors leading to the storage lockers,
the gym, and the doors accessing the 4th floor plaza from the men’s and women’s restrooms.
Garage door openers are issued to each new resident with a parking space.

Keys and fobs remain the property of the Association and are controlled by the Resident
Manager. These devices are transferable without a fee, but must be returned to the Resident
Manager whenever an owner sells his/her apartment or a tenant vacates, so that the transfer and
registration of the new owner or resident may be documented. Under no circumstances may
any identifying marks or names be printed or affixed onto any key, opener or fob, in order
to prevent unauthorized access to the building in the event of the loss of the device.

For purposes of security, notify the Resident Manager of any houseguests who may be accessing
the building (note Section V., paragraph C. below)

A The Computer Entry System located in the outer lobby is another security feature. When you
are called from this phone, pressing the number nine (9) on your telephone unlocks the inner
lobby door for seven seconds, permitting you to admit visitors after you have identified them.
As a further aid in identifying visitors, TV Channel 61 offers a view of the outer lobby. The
outer front building entrance door is locked from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. during which period the
 magnetic key card must be used to gain entry at the card reader on the outer lobby door.
The use of any device (cell phone, smartphone, etc.) programmed to automatically dial “9” in
order to unlock the entry door, unless under active control of the user who is able to prevent
unauthorized entry, is prohibited.

B. Building entrance doors are locked to provide security. Do not break security by opening an
entry door for anyone whom you do not know, or allow anyone to follow you into the inner
lobby without confirming their right to enter. Each person entering the building must either
possess an entry fob, or be admitted by an owner or resident who possesses a key. Inform
any guests that they should not admit people to the building.

C. The automatic garage door provides another level of security. On entering or leaving the
garage, you are required to wait until the garage door has fully closed before continuing. The
garage door is not to be used for pedestrian entry or exit.

IV. Maintenance of the Building.

Pursuant to the terms of the Declaration, the Association shall bear sole responsibility (within the
exercise of its reasonable discretion) for the maintenance and repair of the building other than those
areas within the interior surfaces of the apartments. Any repairs conducted by the Association, in its
discretion, which involve the repair or maintenance of any facilities relating to a particular apartment
or apartments (including work involving water, electricity, cable TV, sewage, telephone, sanitation,
plumbing, and walls, partitions, floors, ceilings and doors), shall be assessed solely against the owner
or owners of the particular apartments benefited by such repairs and maintenance.

Owners and their tenants are required to adhere to the terms of any contract entered into by the
Association for the maintenance and repair of the building that requires the owners and/or tenants to
provide access to or prepare their apartment for the maintenance or repair work. Owners will be
provided with reasonable notice when such access or preparations may be required. Failure to
provide access or complete the preparations may result in a fine, plus any costs for extra work or
delays incurred.

A DirecTV signal comprising more than 60 channels, a channel guide, a video feed showing four
security cameras and a community information channel is provided to each apartment. Each owner
may elect to purchase premium TV and/or internet service and may use the cable interface provided
by the Association. Owners who elect to purchase premium services must insure that any such
premium service is disconnected and the “house feed” restored to the unit at the time of sale and
departure from the building.

V. Use and Maintenance of Apartments.

Each owner is responsible for all activities in, and maintenance and condition of the apartments,
storage spaces, and any parking spaces owned by owner, including apartments or spaces leased to
or used by others.

A. No actions or behavior may occur within an apartment and no modifications may be made to
an apartment that violate these House Rules.

B. Residential apartments are to be used solely as single family residences and for no other
purpose. The total number of persons residing in any residential apartment may not exceed
two times the number of bedrooms of that apartment.

In order to insure their safety and preserve the security of the building, guests of the owner
who remain in the apartment for more than 10 days in any calendar year, or in the absence of
 the owner, for any longer than 3 days, are required to register with the Resident Manager and
receive a brief orientation on building systems, fire safety procedures and fob security.

C. Each owner shall have the right (at owner’s sole cost and expense) and it shall be the owner’s
duty, to maintain, repair, paint, or otherwise finish and preserve the interior surfaces of the
ceilings, floors, windows, doors, and walls of the owner’s apartment, together with all heating,
lighting, and other fixtures attached to or projecting from the ceiling, floors or walls.

D. The electrical wiring in the Royal Crest, located in the spaces behind the walls, is part of the
Common Area, and is therefore owned by the Association. Due to the unique nature of this
electrical system, the addition, repair or replacement of any permanently installed electrical
device (including but not limited to a thermostat, GFCI or other electrical outlet) may not be
attempted without the approval of the Association or its agents. Any work on this system
must be performed by a licensed and bonded contractor unless otherwise approved by the
Association.

E. Additions, repairs and modifications to the plumbing system, including fixtures in the kitchen,
bathrooms and showers must be coordinated with the resident manager to insure that
improper alterations do not affect the building’s existing plumbing systems. The use of self-
piercing saddle connectors is not permitted. Secondary mixer/stop valves or multiple shower
controls may only be installed with written permission from the Association that acknowledge
the responsibility of the owner for damages caused by any subsequent failure of these
fixtures.

F. All apartments shall at all times be maintained in a clean, sanitary, and safe condition. It is the
owner’s responsibility to make sure the exhaust fans and filters in the kitchen and bathroom(s)
are cleaned regularly. Any plumbing fixture that is leaking or not otherwise operating properly
must be reported to the manager for repair, in order to avoid the possibility of consequential
damage to plumbing or to another apartment.

G. There shall be no waterbeds or fish tanks (aquaria) of any nature allowed in any apartment
without the prior written approval of the Board of Directors. All owners and tenants wishing to
install a waterbed or aquarium must first furnish to the Board of Directors written evidence of
adequate liability insurance coverage. The Pet Policy (Sec. X) describes the allowable size
for aquaria.

H. Without prior consent of the Board of Directors, apartment owners and residents shall not
permit anything to be done or kept in any apartment or limited common elements; i.e.,
balconies, parking spaces or storage units, such as hazardous or combustible materials or
other items which might increase the premiums for, or may result in cancellation of, any
insurance policy obtained by the Board of Directors for the Association.

VI. Common Areas.

The common areas include the entrances to the building, the lobby, the elevators, the hallways, the
stairs, the fourth-floor plaza, the community room, the restrooms, the showers, the saunas, the
swimming pool, the exercise room, the utility rooms, driving spaces in the garage, and the walkways
leading to the storage areas. The entrance doors and balconies adjoining each unit are limited
common areas, as are the parking spaces and storage lockers. It is the responsibility of all persons
using the various common areas of the Condominium, including limited common areas, to be aware
of and abide by all posted rules and regulations governing the use of such areas.

A. Owners and residents are responsible for the actions and behavior of their guests in any
common area. Each person who uses any of the amenities located in the common areas shall
exercise due care, especially in the use of the exercise room, saunas and swimming pool.
 There is no lifeguard supervising any activities in or around the swimming pool. Guests using
the exercise room, swimming pool and sauna must be accompanied by a resident.

B. All children under the age of 16 must be properly supervised by an adult when in or near the
swimming pool and in all other common areas.

A. Owners, tenants and their guests using hallways or common areas are prohibited from
occupying those areas between the hours of 10:00 pm and 8:00 am, except while in the
process of entering or leaving the building or another apartment. Proper clothing appropriate
to contemporary standards shall be worn in all common areas of the Condominium.

C. Amenities of the Condominium, such as the community room, the sauna, the swimming pool,
the showers, the restrooms on the fourth floor, laundry facilities and storage rooms are
available for use solely between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. The exercise room is
available for use between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. After each use, these areas
must be left in a proper state of cleanliness. Exercise equipment should be returned to its
proper location, and all personal belongings removed.

D. The utility room on each floor of the Condominium contains laundry equipment available for
the use of the residents and are to be used solely for the purpose of washing, drying and
ironing clothes, and accessing the trash chute, the emergency firefighting equipment, and the
electrical panels. Utility rooms are to be kept free of any obstructions to their intended uses
and are not to be used for storage of personal property. Residents should utilize the laundry
facilities located on the floor on which they reside; however, in the event that the washer or
dryer on their floor is inoperable, laundry facilities on another floor of the Condominium may
be used. Laundry should be removed from the washers and/or dryers within 30 minutes of the
end of the machine’s cycle.

E. Exclusive use of the community room requires a reservation with the Resident Manager at
least 24 hours in advance of the planned use. Reservations will be accepted on a first-come,
first-served basis. The Resident Manager may extend use of the community room for
scheduled events upon prior approval. The room must be returned to its proper condition
after use.

F. Consumption of any food or beverage is prohibited in the lobby, the elevators and the
hallways. In the event of spillage, the Resident Manager should be notified immediately.
Smoking is prohibited in all common areas (except limited common areas adjacent to
apartments) with the exception of the 4th floor plaza deck, where smoking is permitted, except
within 25 feet of the building’s entrances. Smoking materials, including cigarette butts, must
be properly disposed of.

G. The Resident Manager is to be notified in advance of any anticipated greater-than normal use
of the elevator, hallways, stairs, or any other common areas. Abuse or unauthorized
excessive use of any common areas or facilities (including electrical, water and laundry
facilities) is prohibited and may lead to a special assessment against the owner responsible
for such abuse or excessive use for the reasonable costs to remedy any damages or losses
that result.

H. The responsibility and right to decorate any and all common areas is exclusively reserved for
the Board of Directors. No apartment owner or resident may install in any permanent manner
any decorations in the hallways without approval of the Board.

I. All common areas are to be used for the purpose for which they were intended, and such
areas shall not be utilized for storage, or in a manner that interferes with the area’s intended
purpose. There shall be no loitering in or obstruction of the common areas. Discarding of
 foreign materials, such as food and drink containers, food scraps, spilled drinks, papers or
cigarettes in the hallways, stairs, pool deck, or any other common area is prohibited. Nothing
may be placed or kept in the common areas or limited common areas, such as hazardous or
combustible materials, or any other item that may increase the premiums for, or result in
cancellation of, any insurance policy obtained by the Board of Directors for the Association.

J. Common areas are not to be used as a playground. Wheeled vehicles, including but not
limited to, bicycles, tricycles, wagons, scooters, roller skates and skateboards, are not to be
ridden in any of the common areas or in the parking garage.

VII. Use of Balconies.

A. The balconies are limited common areas for the exclusive use of the apartments adjacent to
them. The owners shall be responsible for the care and maintenance of the balconies which
abut upon their respective apartments. The owners may not, however, paint or otherwise
decorate, or modify or alter in any way, their respective balconies or the exterior portion of the
walls of the building fronting onto said balconies without the prior written approval by the
Board. Carpeting or any type of covering shall not be installed on balconies.

B. Balconies are subject to strong winds and precaution must be taken to prevent objects from
falling or being blown from them. Misuse of the balconies can easily cause a hazard and a
nuisance to residents above and below. Care must be taken when watering plants to prevent
any water from falling over the edges.

C. No open flames or flammable materials, except approved propane and/or electric BBQs are
permitted on balconies. BBQs using propane are limited to 16 oz. canisters. Care must be
taken to prevent damage from open flame or excessive heat. Electric grills or electric hibachis
may also be used; however, they must not be connected to an electrical outlet with an
extension cord. Drip pans or the like must be used to prevent any grease or cooking residue
from falling onto the surface of the balcony. Residents are required to use care to insure a
minimum impact on other residents.

D. No materials, included but not limited to cigarette butts or burnt matches, are to be thrown or
dropped from the balconies or windows; nor may any blankets or rugs be shaken out or hung
over the balcony railings. Balconies may not be used for storage of personal property.

E. Holiday seasonal decorations and lights may only be displayed between November 20th and
January 15th. Decorations must be removed from decks and balconies no later than the 15th
of January.

VIII. Use of Garage and Storage Spaces.

Parking and storage spaces are filed as separate tax parcels with King County. However, they are
reserved for the exclusive use of the apartment to which they have been assigned.

A. Garage spaces are to be used only for parking vehicles and shall not be used for general
storage purposes. Only wheeled vehicles, registered with the manager, may be stored in the
owner’s parking stall. It is the responsibility of the owner to keep grease and oil residues to a
minimum. Vehicles of any type found parked in a stall without permission of the owner are
subject to immediate removal.

B. The garage door is opened by garage door openers registered with and controlled by the
Resident Manager. On entering or leaving the garage, the driver is required to wait until the
garage door has fully closed before continuing. The garage door may not be used for
pedestrian entry or exit.
 C. Each vehicle parked in the garage should be kept securely locked at all times. In order to
increase security and protection against loss, garage door openers must be removed from
vehicles after use and not left in the vehicle. Do not write anything on the device that might
identify the building or the owner’s name and address.

D. Any malfunctioning of the garage door should be immediately reported to the Resident
Manager.

E. All motor vehicles within the garage must have their headlights on at all times, whether
stopped or in motion, unless parked in a marked parking space. The use of headlights will
increase the visibility of vehicles to other drivers and pedestrians. Motor vehicles shall not be
driven within the garage at speeds in excess of five (5 MPH) miles per hour.

F. Owners may not lease their garage space or storage locker to the general public, friends,
relatives, or any other individual who is not a current resident of the Royal Crest.

G. Without prior consent of the Board of Directors, apartment owners and residents shall not
permit anything to be done or kept in the garage or storage lockers, including, but not limited
to, hazardous or combustible materials that may increase the premiums for, or result in
cancellation of, any insurance policy obtained by the Board of Directors for the Association.

IX. Trash Disposal.

Hazardous, combustible or toxic substances or materials must not be disposed of in the

Condominium plumbing system, trash chute or in the dumpster or recycle barrels, nor may any large
items like furniture, window coverings or appliances be similarly deposited. All such items must
be taken to an appropriate dumpsite for proper disposal (see sub-section “F” below).

Trash must be disposed of in one of the following manners:

A. Table scraps, including but not limited to meat, vegetables and starches of every description,
such as celery, onions and bananas and similar fibrous foodstuffs, along with rice, egg shells,
pasta, coffee grounds and teabags, as well as food-soiled, uncoated paper (napkins, towels,
plates and pizza boxes, for ex.) are to be bagged in paper and/or biodegradable bags, and
taken to the Food Waste (Green) recycle container in the alley, accessed from the building’s
basement level.

The garbage disposal in each kitchen sink may be used to dispose of small soft food scraps
only. The plumbing is not designed nor is it capable of accommodating large quantities of
waste material, as these do cause damage to the pipes and can easily, and frequently, back
up into your- or your neighbor’s – sink.

B. Blue recycling containers are also provided in the alley “cage” and are to be used to recycle
clean paper (coated or uncoated) cardboard (cartons broken down and stacked behind
containers), plastic food tubs, newspaper and magazines, cans, bottles and glass (but not
light bulbs or ceramics). Follow the directions on each container and posted nearby. All
owners and residents shall fully comply with recycling rules imposed by the City of Seattle.
Failure to properly comply with these rules may result in a fine issued by the Association.

C. All bagged garbage going into the trash chute must readily fit through the opening and
wrapped sufficiently well as to survive the long drop to the dumpster.

D. Oversized packages of dust laden vacuum cleaner residue, ashes, trash or liquids must be
securely bagged and carried to the dumpster room in the basement, which is accessible from
 the ‘cage’ at the alley with your square “Medeco” key. No materials shall be left in hallways or
common areas.

E. “KITTY LITTER” MUST BE BAGGED AND CARRIED TO THE DUMPSTER.

F. Furniture, appliances, window coverings and/or other non-recyclable materials may not be
disposed of or left in or near any recycle container. Only small pieces of such waste materials, no
more than 30” in circumference, may be deposited in the dumpster. No hazardous, combustible
or toxic substances or materials shall be deposited in the Condominium plumbing system,
trash chute or in the dumpster or recycle barrels. All such prohibited materials must be removed
from the property and disposed of at a lawful hazardous waste disposal site. The number to call
for information is 206-296-4692.

X. Pets.

Cats, birds and fish only are permitted to owners and residents, subject to the Pet Rules established
on January 1, 2008. Owners wishing to have and keep pets in their units (whether owned or rented
to another) are required to join the Pet Management Committee, and to register their pets with the
Resident Manager. Owners of pets agree to abide by the Pet Rules, which are included in Appendix
A of these House Rules. “Kitty Litter” must be bagged and taken to the dumpster, it may not be
deposited in the garbage chute. Dogs of any size or breed (except registered Service Animals)
are absolutely not permitted in the building, at any time. You must notify the resident manager if
you wish to enter the building with a registered service animal, so that other owners may be made
aware of the animal’s mission.

XI. Extended Absence.

The mail boxes must be emptied regularly. If the owner’s lobby mail box is full, the Post Office will
return the uncollected mail to the Main Post Office where it will be held for 10 days and then returned
to the sender. It will not be returned to the recipient’s mail box unless the owner or tenant completes
a request to hold mail with the Post Office. Upon written request, the Resident Manager may collect a
resident’s mail during any extended absence from the Condominium. The Resident Manager is not
obligated to provide other personal services during such absence.

XII. New Owner / Resident Meeting.

Prior to moving into the building, each new owner or resident of the Condominium is required to meet
with the Resident Manager. During this meeting the House Rules, which are provided to all new
Owners at the close of escrow, will be reviewed along with an “Owner / Resident Information Sheet”.
Renters will be provided a copy of the House Rules at that time. Each new owner or resident shall
sign a form acknowledging receipt of a copy of the House Rules and Fine Schedule, and their
agreement to abide by them.

XIII. Leasing Procedures.

Apartment owners shall not be permitted to lease their apartments unless done so in compliance with
the leasing regulations contained in paragraph 17 of the Declaration. These regulations include, but
are not limited to, the following requirements:

A. Leases shall be in writing for a term of not less than six (6) months, and no subleasing of
apartments is allowed.

B. Short term rentals or leases, for example rentals using, but not limited to, AirBnB, VRBO,
HomeAway or any other type or kind of rental or leasing agency, are expressly prohibited.
Any owner or tenant found to be in violation of this rule shall be subject to a fine of up to
 $1000.00 per occurrence, and in addition, a fine of $100.00 per day for each subsequent day
that the violation continues.

C. Apartment owners are responsible for all damages caused by their tenants and are obligated
to ensure that tenants understand that they are bound by all of the obligations contained in the
Declaration, the Bylaws, and these House Rules. Should the tenant fail to comply with any of
the Association’s governing documents, the Board of Directors will utilize its authority to evict
or otherwise implement legal action against the tenant in the name of the apartment owner,
with or without the owner’s consent, and all costs and expenses incurred in such legal action
will be charged to the apartment owner.

D. Apartment owners must provide in writing to the Resident Manager the owner’s current
contact information, including mailing, email address and telephone number.

E. Prior to tenant occupancy, the apartment owner must provide the following to the Resident
Manager:

1. A completed application on a form provided by the Resident Manager.

2. A statement of proof that the owner has completed a satisfactory background and credit
check on the proposed tenant. A dated invoice from a background search company, or
similar proof of completion will suffice.

3. The names of individuals entitled to occupy the owner’s apartment and a copy of all leases
of the owner’s apartment. The number of residents may not be more than 2 times the
number of bedrooms in the apartment.

E. Owners are not permitted to lease their garage space or storage locker to any individual who
is not a current resident of the Condominium, including friends, relatives or the general public.
The owner must provide the name and address of each person along with any written rental
agreement for any such rental, as well as the vehicle model and license number entitled to
utilize or occupy the owner’s garage space.

F. Prior to occupancy, all tenants are required to meet with the Resident Manager to complete a
Resident Information Sheet and must agree to abide by the Association’s rules.

XIV. Sales Procedures.

At the time of listing an apartment for sale, the apartment owner shall provide written notification to
the Resident Manager, the Association Manager and/or Board of Directors of the pending sale. The
Association Manager shall notify the intended purchaser, the title insurance company, and the closing
agent, of all unpaid assessments and other charges outstanding against the apartment, if any.

It is the apartment owner’s responsibility to inform all Realtors and their agents of the entry
procedures to the building as well as to ensure that the building security is maintained at any open
houses held in conjunction with the sale. The Resident Manager is not available to provide tours or to
otherwise assist real estate agents.

Upon payment of the appropriate fee, the apartment owner or real estate agent may elect to bring
furniture and/or decorative materials to “stage” the unit. Staging is considered to be furniture and/or
decorative materials brought into or that remain in the unit, after the owner’s furnishings have been
moved out, in preparation for offering the unit for sale or lease. This will be considered a separate
move and must comply with the Moving Procedures (see XV. Moving Procedures). All staging
materials, including but not limited to tables, chairs, potted plants, large cartons, or the like, must be
brought into and out of the building from the garage or alley through the rear door and may not be
carried through the front lobby. The resident Manager must be given at least 24 hours’ advance
notice of the intended move.

XV. Moving Procedures.

When a new owner or resident desires to move into the building, a fee will be charged, which includes
the move in and eventual move out (Appendix “C” Fee Schedule). Each move in or out of the
Condominium must be scheduled with the Resident Manager at least 24 hours in advance. Exclusive
use of the elevator between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. must be arranged with the Resident
Manager. Protective elevator covers will be provided by the Resident Manager, and the move may
not commence until this has been done. Moving in to or out of the building is not permitted on
Saturdays, Sundays, or federal holidays. All moves are to be made from the alley through the rear
door or through the ramp into the garage. The rear doors are not to be left unlocked or unattended at
any time. The unit owner is responsible to ensure compliance with these rules and should convey the
above to all persons and companies participating in any move. Any damages incurred will be
repaired by the Association and billed to the owner.

Any unusual moves, including but not limited to large items of furniture or equipment, must be
coordinated in advance with the Resident Manager. Neither furniture nor large appliances may be
moved into or out of the building through the lobby/front doors.

XVI. Deliveries.

All large items shall follow the moving procedures as listed in Section XV. Routine deliveries, such as
delivery of an appliance (e.g. a dishwasher), do not require payment of a fee, but must be
communicated to the resident manager to reserve the elevator and install the pads.

Postal carriers and commercial delivery services will notify residents of a package delivery. If a
resident is not at home, the package may be accepted by the Resident Manager and be available for
pick-up in the Package Closet located on the fourth floor.

XVII. Remodeling and Redecorating.

In order to protect and maintain the structural, electrical, mechanical, plumbing and other operating
systems of the building, and to protect the reasonable use, enjoyment, and preservation of
apartments, apartment owners and residents must abide by the following rules for redecorating and
remodeling.

All determinations of the Board pursuant to this section shall be final and binding on all owners and
residents. No alterations or changes may be made to any portion of the common or limited common
areas of the building, nor may any apartment owner or resident in any way remodel or otherwise
modify an apartment without specific written approval of the Board.

A. Board approval is required for a “minor” remodel, wherein for example apartment owners elect to
refinish surfaces with similar materials, including but not limited to, carpet to carpet, paint to paint,
or to install or retrofit existing appliances, Board approval is required in order to avoid damage to
the building and/or inconvenience other residents. As an example, the living areas of apartments
were originally furnished with carpeting to minimize sound transmission, and the addition of new
carpet or hard surface flooring (especially if done incorrectly) can have a negative impact on
neighboring apartments. Regardless of size therefore, all remodeling and refinishing
projects require prior coordination with the Resident Manager to ensure that the building’s
systems and infrastructure are not adversely affected and that contractors entering or bringing
materials into the building are adhering to House Rules. For minor remodels, the remodel
application is the preferred method of insuring this coordination. The Resident Manager will
 provide the owner and their contractors with the necessary information to assure compliance with
rules and procedures.

A “major” remodel involves the use of materials, appliances and/or fixtures significantly different
from existing, or where plumbing or electrical fixtures require any alteration or change, and a
completed remodel application is mandatory. It must be approved by the Board before work may
begin. The Board may order any unapproved and/or improper installation of substitute materials
that result in complaints and/or building damage to be removed in favor of original materials (see
Appendix “B” – Hard Surface Flooring). Certain changes to renew plumbing behind the walls of
the apartment may be required by the Association when access to pipes becomes available
during remodels, especially in kitchens and baths. This work, if required, will be performed at the
Association’s expense.

B. Only contractors licensed in the State of Washington may perform work in the building. As a part
of the remodeling proposal, the apartment owner must submit the following information to the
Resident Manager for each contractor and subcontractor to be performing work in the building
prior to initiation of work:

1. Company name, address, and telephone number.

2. Company owner’s name, address, and telephone number.
3. Company / Contractor license number
4. Provide copies of license(s), proof of bond and insurance.

C. A “Remodel/Redecoration Application and Agreement” must be completed for any remodeling or

other modifications to an apartment, not listed in “A” above, and submitted to and approved by the
Board of Directors prior to commencement of any work. The proposed project must contain a
detailed description of the planned work, including the timeline for completion, and all materials to
be used. Any proposed modification to the apartment’s electrical, mechanical, structural,
plumbing, venting, or any other operating system of the building must be described in detail.
Electrical, plumbing and air movement systems may be altered or renewed only by professionals
who are approved by the Association to perform the work.

D. At any time prior to the Board’s issuance of written approval or rejection of a project, the Board
may request the owner to submit additional plans, specifications, or reports of engineers,
architects or other experts, as the Board deems necessary in its sole discretion.

E. Until the Board provides its approval a project shall not be considered approved. The Board will
make a good faith effort to respond to all project requests within 10 days after the submission of a
completed application, which may include additional requested plans, specifications, or reports, if
deemed necessary by the Resident Manager or the Board.

F. All costs and expenses relating to any proposal, including the obtaining of plans, specifications or
reports requested by the Board of the owner, shall be borne exclusively by the owner.

G. In no event shall any modifications be permitted which would overload or impair the floors, walls,
windows, or roof of the building, or otherwise cause any damage to the structure or cause any
increase in the ordinary premium rates, cancellation or invalidation of any insurance relating to the
building maintained by or for the Board of the Association. Nor may any owner or resident install
any wiring or other device for electrical or telephone installations, television, machines, or other
equipment or attachments onto the exterior of the building or protruding into or through the walls,
floors, windows, doors, ceilings or roofs of the building or any apartment.

H. The owner shall comply with all permit requirements, including posting of permits.
I. The Board has the authority to require periodic inspections of the work-in-progress and completed
work, including but not limited to, inspections of electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and flooring
installations. The owner may use only those inspectors authorized by the Board. No project will be
considered to be complete until all the components of the work have been approved by applicable
Board-authorized inspectors. With the exception of hard flooring installation, the Resident
Manager may waive inspection (for example, structural, electrical, or plumbing), subject to
inspection by the City of Seattle.

J. All contractor work, either requiring Board approval or not, shall be performed Monday through
Friday between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. No work is allowed on weekends or federal
holidays. Alterations of some surfaces to remove previously installed materials or to install new
surfaces may require tools that generate loud noises (e.g., concrete or hardwood removal and/or
installation of suspended ceilings). Work which requires or produces excessively loud and/or
repetitive noise levels may be limited to certain daytime hours. The cooperation of all parties is
required to avoid unnecessarily disturbing other residents.

K. Contractors must access the building through the alley access from the basement or garage
entrances only and are not to enter the building through the front door lobby. No building and/or
construction related materials shall be carried through the front door lobby. Upon prior
arrangement with the Resident Manager, these materials may be brought into the building through
the “padded” elevator only.

L. The Moving and Building Security rules apply for all remodeling projects and it is the responsibility
of the apartment owners and residents to inform contractors of these rules. Contractors must
notify the Resident Manager in advance so that Resident Manager is able to install elevator
padding, which must be used when transporting large amounts of materials and tools.

M. All project timelines are subject to Board approval, and projects are to be completed within six (6)
months of the date of said approval. If a project cannot be completed within the agreed term, the
owner must submit a written request for an extension specifying reasonable cause for delay, with
a proposed date of completion which may not exceed more than an additional six (6) months

N. Contractors are responsible to return the common areas affected by their work to a clean and tidy
condition at the end of each work day. This includes, but is not limited to, corridors, elevators, and
basement entry. Storage of materials or equipment is not permitted in the corridors.

O. Apartment owners are responsible to pay the cost related to clean up and repairs to any damage
to the Condominium premises or disruptions to the Condominium services caused by the
apartment owner, resident or contractor completing the work for the owner or resident. All
construction debris, appliances, and furniture must be removed from the premises and shall not
be deposited in the Royal Crest dumpsters or other trash or recycling receptacles. The apartment
owner shall be liable for the cost to restore, repair, clean up, and any required corrections as a
result of contractor misconduct or negligence.

P. No owner shall be permitted to subdivide or combine any portion of the Condominium premises
except in compliance with the Declaration.

Q. Plumbing System Modifications.

The following plumbing standards apply for faucets and tub/shower diverter replacement to
prevent hot and cold water mixing within the existing potable water supply system:

1. Bathroom, kitchen, and other various types of faucets:

Install in-line check valves downstream of all angle stops on the hot and cold water supply
lines feeding all faucets.
 2. Tub/Shower diverters:
Install single handle pressure balancing diverters with integral stops and check valves.

R. Structural / Mechanical System Modifications. RESERVED

S. Electrical System Modifications. RESERVED

T. Flooring Modifications.
Impact noise is produced when the building structure is directly or indirectly impacted. Sound
energy passes through the structure and creates (reradiates) noise in nearby units. Examples of
impact noise are footfalls, particularly on hard floors, banging doors and scraping furniture. The
installation of any type of hard surface flooring has the potential to increase the level of noise in
adjacent units, and every care should be taken to diminish or alleviate these intrusions.

See Attachment B for Detailed Hard Surface Flooring Policy. This document provides a standard
to which all newly installed floor systems in the Royal Crest Condominium building must adhere.

1. The policy applies to any installation of hard surface flooring in an apartment.

2. The owner requesting installation shall complete and submit a Hard Surface Flooring
Installation Agreement and submit design plans to the Board for approval.
3. Owner further agrees:
a. To abide by all requirements of Section XVII of these Rules;
b. To permit post-installation testing at the Association’s expense, if requested, and
c. That the Board has the authority to require removal of any noncompliant installation using
resources from the Performance Deposit if necessary. If the Performance Deposit is
inadequate to remove a non-compliant installation, the Association has the authority to
assess the owner for any additional costs and fees necessary to accomplish this objective.
4. Inspections are required as determined by the Resident Manager during the installation
process to assure that only Board-approved materials and procedures are used.
5. Impact Insulation Requirements
a. Hard surface flooring (wood or wood laminate, stone, glass or tile, etc.) may only be
installed over an acoustical sub floor, which meets or exceeds the FHA recommended
guideline for impact sound insulation for floor/ceiling assemblies in higher quality
residential units of Field Impact Insulation Class (FIIC) of 50. The following products have
been approved by the Board. One of these products (or its equal as documented by a
certified testing agency) must be used under the selected flooring:
i. 1/2" Cork
ii. CeraZorb®
iii. Dura-Son
iv. Microban AirGuard premium underlayment
v. 1/2" Kinetics SR Floorboard
vi. FootFall Acoustical underlayment
b. Following hard floor installation, the Board may request, at the Association’s expense, a
Board-approved Acoustic Consultant to conduct acoustic tests to verify that the installation
is compliant with the established criteria. A Board Approved Acoustic Consultant is any
consultant that is a member in good standing of the National Council of Acoustical
Consultants. The owner, as well as the owners of adjacent units affected by the transfer
of noise as a result of the floor modifications, shall permit said acoustic tests.
c. Tests will be performed according to ASTM E1007-04. The testing firm will submit a copy
of the test results to the Board for Board approval. If the installation of the flooring does
not meet the acceptable standard (FIIC 50), an examination of the installation will be
conducted to insure that the installation was carried out in the manner prescribed by these
regulations. If it is determined that proper procedures were followed, the Association will
not require any further changes.
 Notwithstanding the standards established by these Rules, each owner is encouraged to utilize
materials that are ecologically sound and that maximize the insulation properties of any remodel,
especially of hard surface flooring, in order to minimize the intrusion of sound energy into other
units in the building.

XVIII. Exterior Appearance.

The outside appearance of the building is to remain uniform in color and shape. Signs, projections,
such as air conditioners, or unusual colors in window coverings are not permitted. No signs visible
from the common areas or visible to the public may be posted without the prior written approval of the
Board of Directors. The Board of Directors must approve all exterior signage for the commercial
spaces in advance.

XlX. Entry for Repairs or Emergencies.

The Association or its agent may enter any apartment when necessary in connection with any
maintenance or construction for which the Association is responsible, or in the event of any
emergency. The occupant of a unit shall be notified as far in advance of entry as is reasonably
practicable, except in an emergency that precludes advance notice. Such entry shall be made with
as little inconvenience to the resident and/or owner as possible, and any damage caused thereby
shall be repaired at the expense of the Association.

The failure of certain “high risk” components within each apartment creates the potential for damage
to adjacent apartments, resulting in costly and complicated repairs, which may require immediate
access if failure is suspected. These may include, but are not limited to, smoke detectors, baseboard
heaters, washing machines or plumbing for ice making units in refrigerators.

To facilitate this right of access, each owner shall provide the Resident Manager with keys as
necessary to obtain entrance to the owner’s apartment and shall promptly provide new keys when,
and if, the locks to the apartment are changed or supplemented. The Association shall secure the
keys in a locked vault, access to which is strictly controlled and limited to management. Any
apartment owner who fails to provide the necessary keys will be required to pay all costs associated
with the Resident Manager’s efforts to gain entry in the event of an emergency.

Notwithstanding the above-referenced access rights and an owner’s provision of keys to the Resident
Manager, all rights of access by the Association, or the Property or Resident Manager, are within their
sole discretion. At no time shall the Association, or the Property or Resident Mangers, be liable for
any injury, loss or damage of any nature whatsoever arising or resulting from their possession of any
keys to any apartment, or their right to access any apartment.

XX. Emergency Precautions.

A. Fire emergency procedures are outlined in the Condominium’s emergency plan as approved
by the Seattle Fire Department. All owners and residents are required to familiarize
themselves with the emergency plan and to fully comply with the plan in the event of an
emergency.

B. All security and fire doors must remain closed at all times when not in use. Anyone found
blocking doors open or tampering with emergency equipment, fire control equipment, alarms,
door closers, elevator controls, or other emergency equipment, will be subject to arrest and
liability for costs of repairs resulting from their actions.

C. Storage of any flammable, hazardous or toxic materials (with the exception of gasoline in the
gas tank of a motor vehicle or household paints, solvents, etc., in small quantities) is
 prohibited in all apartments and all common and limited common areas, including parking and
storage locker areas.

D. The Resident Manager, the Association Manager, or any member of the Board of Directors
should be immediately contacted in any emergency situation affecting the welfare of the
residents and the building.

XXI. Notices and Solicitation.

All soliciting, door-to-door selling, leafleting, posting and/or distributing of notices by persons other
than owners or residents of the building, is prohibited. Apartment owners and residents may post
notices on the Community Bulletin Board in the lobby, or, by written request, on the Association
bulletin board located adjacent to the mail box array. The Resident Manager, subject to Board
oversight, has discretion to determine whether a proposed notice is appropriate for posting. Notices of
a political nature or notices advertising commercial sales of good or services shall not be considered
appropriate for posting.

XXII. Assessments.

A. The monthly maintenance assessments are due on the first day of each month.

B. Special assessments are due at such times as determined by the Board of Directors.

C. For each and every monthly assessment, special assessment, or installment thereof, the
collection policies of the Association are as follows:

1. Monthly and special assessments shall be delivered to the office of Trestle Community
Management (“Agent”), Agent for the Association on or before the fifth business day of the
month in which they are due. Assessments received after the fifth business day of the month
shall be considered delinquent.

2. A fourteen (14) day grace period will be granted to allow for mail and other unforeseen delays.
During the grace period, attempts will be made to contact the unit owner (“Owner”) by mail to
notify them that the required payment has yet to be received.

3. On the fifteenth (15) day of delinquency, a late fee of Thirty Dollars ($30.00) will be assessed
against the delinquent account by the Association, and a reminder letter (the “First Letter”) will
be mailed to the last known address of the Owner stating that the account is in default, that
the Association is attempting to collect a debt, that a late fee has been added to the account,
and that owners disputing the validity of the debt must notify the Association in writing within
30 days.

4. On the Forty-fifth (45) day of delinquency, and after mailing of the First Letter, a second Thirty
Dollar ($30.00) late fee will be assessed against the delinquent account by the Association,
and a ten (10) day demand letter (the “Second Letter”) will be mailed by certified and regular
mail to the last known address of the Owner stating that the account must be brought current
within ten (10) days, that the Association is attempting to collect a debt, that late fees have
been added to the account, and that failure to remit payment in full to the Association will
result in the placing of a lien against the delinquent unit and the forwarding of the account to
the Association’s counsel (“Attorney”) for collection.

5. On the Fifty-fifth (55) day of delinquency, and after mailing of the First and Second letters, a
Two Hundred Dollar ($250.00) lien filing fee and a Fifty Dollar ($50.00) legal handling fee will
assessed against the delinquent account by the Association, a lien will be filed against the
delinquent unit, and the delinquent account will be turned over to the Attorney for collection.
 6. Once turned over to the Attorney, a monthly service fee of Thirty Dollars ($30.00) plus all
direct costs of collection will be assessed against the delinquent account. Owners shall
communicate with the Attorney directly, and shall make all payments, including attorney’s
fees, to the Attorney until they bring their account current unless the Owner, the Agent, and
the Attorney agree otherwise in writing. The Association will also decide with the consultation
of the Attorney what further steps, if any, the Association needs to take to protect the
community’s best interests.

7. Once the account is paid in full and current, liens will be released, and the unit account
returned to current status within five business days.

D. If any owner is over thirty (30) days delinquent on any assessment, or installment thereof, on
three or more occasions within two years, the Board of Directors shall demand from the owner a
security deposit equal to three months estimated monthly assessments pursuant to Section 8.01
(b) of the Declaration.

E. Notwithstanding the above policy, the Board of Directors reserves the right to negotiate payment
terms with any owner, or waive accrued interest, late charges and attorneys’ fees, when the
Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, deems it appropriate.

F. Apartment owners will be charged a processing fee for each check returned for insufficient funds.

XXIII. Violations and Enforcement.

These House Rules are for the benefit of all apartment owners and residents. The Board shall be
authorized to levy and make assessments for reasonable fines, charges or penalties for any violation
of the Association’s governing documents or any other rules and regulations of the Association, and
any costs, damages or fees (including attorney fees) arising therefrom. The Board will provide
appropriate warnings and due process as contemplated by the Washington Condominium Act.

All apartment owners and residents are encouraged to resolve minor problems themselves. However,
the Resident Manager is available to provide assistance for such problems between the hours of
8:30a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday thru Friday. Any concerned owner or resident may submit a written
report of a rule violation to the Resident Manager or the Board of Directors. Such report should
specify the “who, what, where, when and how” relating to such violation. The Board will investigate all
written reports and seek appropriate resolution.

Residents accused of violating the governing documents will be notified of the accusation in writing.
Subject to the terms of the Declaration and applicable law, the Board at its sole discretion, and after
appropriate notice and an opportunity to appeal and be heard, may levy fines and/or utilize any other
available remedies under law against any owner, resident, tenant or guest responsible for any such
violation. Certain violations that relate to the security of the building or its residents, or to the potential
for damage to people or property or the building itself, may result in the immediate imposition of a
violation notice and fine in order to preclude further damage or harm.

The Board shall give written notice of such proposed fine, charge or penalty to all owners, tenants or
occupants of each apartment whose interest would be significantly affected by the proposed actions.
Within ten (10) days of receipt of written notice, the person(s) fined shall have the right to appeal to
the Board by providing a written statement of appeal and providing details and facts of the person’s
position. The owner may request a hearing, and if such hearing is requested, it shall be set not less
than five days from the date the request is received.
At the hearing, the affected person(s) shall have the right, personally or by a representative, to give
testimony either orally or in writing, subject to reasonable rules of procedure established by the Board
to assure a prompt and orderly resolution of the issues.

The Board will consider such evidence, as well as any other evidence or considerations deemed
relevant, in making its decision. The Board will present its determination of the facts and the fines to
be levied within 10 days of the hearing, if a hearing is requested. In the event that the notice of
violation and proposed fine is not contested, nor a hearing requested by the affected owners or
tenants, the amount of the fine(s) will be immediately due and payable and will be included in the
owner’s next monthly assessment.

Following a second violation of the rules, the owner may be subject to additional penalties or fines
and may request another hearing. The third violation/fine may cause the commencement of legal
action to prevent further violations.

The Board will consider appeals before levy of such fines, charges or penalties. However, no appeal
is available for the imposition of any interest charges, late charges, or costs and attorney fees
imposed or incurred by reason of an owner’s failure to pay any assessment when due under Section
8 of the Declaration.

The Board of Directors is the final authority with regard to all issues concerning the management of
the Association and the enforcement of the governing documents.

The failure of the Board to insist in any one or more instances upon a strict performance of or
compliance with any of the covenants applicable to an owner, to exercise any right or option, to serve
any notice, or to institute any action or summary proceeding, shall not be construed as a waiver, or a
relinquishment for the future, of such covenant or any such right, but the same shall continue and
remain in full force and effect. The payment of any sum by an owner pursuant to these Rules, with or
without the knowledge of the Board, shall not be deemed a waiver of any breach, and no waiver,
express or implied by the Board of any such provision hereof of any right shall be deemed to have
been made unless in writing and signed by the chairperson pursuant to authority contained in a
resolution of the Board.

ADOPTED by Resolution of the Board of Directors of the Royal Crest Condominium Association at a
duly called meeting of the Board, to become effective on 8/22/2018.

APPENDIX “A”

ROYAL CREST CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION

ASSOCIATION OF OWNERS

PET RULES (APPENDIX “A)

As a result of input from many of our residents and owners, the Board has determined that a majority
of owners would like to allow some pets in our building. Many residents want to own pets because of
the happiness and companionship they can bring to their owners, and medical studies appear to
confirm a positive relationship between life expectancy rates and pet ownership.
Because of concerns that dogs need to be taken in and out of the building virtually every day, and
because some dogs tend to bark loudly (and more frequently when they are alone), this rule change
will permit only cats, birds, and fish in our building . . . and these under very specific rules. However,
nothing in these or in any Association rules is intended to bar legitimate guide dogs or service
animals from accompanying their owners with disabilities into the building.

The Board of Directors is now asking you to carefully read the following Pet Rules, to insure that they
are fully and completely understood.

THE ROYAL CREST PET POLICY IS EFFECTIVE AS OF 1/1/2012

I. All common areas of Royal Crest will remain "NO Pet Areas”. Pets will not be permitted in hallways,
stairwells, parking garage, front door lobby, 4th floor plaza, pool, conference room, gym, each unit’s balcony,
and all common areas, unless in transit. Pets shall be transported in a carrier to avoid causing nuisance,
harm and/or adverse health impacts to those who may have allergies to pets.

II. Residents are permitted to own a maximum of two pets (of their choice of cat, bird and fish) that are to
remain strictly inside their owner’s unit. Each pet must be registered with the Pet Management
Committee, with a copy provided to the Resident manager. A single fish tank is considered one pet, and fish
tank owners must provide proof of insurance sufficient to cover the deductible portion of the Association’s
insurance. Birds are limited to breeds that are normally kept as pets in cages. A tenant must present a
written and signed authorization from the owner of the unit to register a pet.

III. A number of prospective owners have agreed to support rules that are designed to ensure
compliance and adherence with the Pet Rules. They have recommended, and the Board has agreed,
that all pet owners must register and become members of the Pet Management Committee, and to
meet with the Resident Manager to discuss, review and sign a “Memo of Agreement” that includes the
following rules:

1. No pet shall cause any harm and/or nuisance to other residents.

2. Pets shall be transported in a carrier when entering and leaving any unit within the building. No pets
shall be allowed in any common areas.
3. No transfer of objectionable noises and odors outside of unit shall be permitted, and any such event
shall be eliminated promptly.
4. Improper handling of indoor elimination of feces and urine shall be avoided at all times. No disposal
of pet waste, feces, litter, hair, etc. shall be permitted in toilets, bathroom, and kitchen sinks, and
laundry room garbage chutes, to avoid clogging of plumbing pipes and unsanitary janitorial clean
up at the bottom of the building’s garbage chutes.
5. Regular disposal of feces and litter shall be double bagged, wrapped and tied securely and carried
directly to alley dumpster. Do not use toilets, sinks or garbage chutes for pet waste.
6. No washing of pet beds, blankets, pillows and other washable pet accessories shall be permitted in
communal washer/dryer to avoid transfer of pet hair, dander and allergens outside of units into any
common areas, and to avoid clogging of washer or dryer vents and ductwork,
7. No visitors with pets shall be allowed. Residents whose guests violate these rules shall be
responsible for paying required fees and fines assessed by the Pet Management Committee
8. Cost of repairs, restoration, clean up, and/or remedy for damage caused by pets or neglect on the
part of pet owner shall be the responsibility of resident pet owner
9. Pest control costs due to infestation of fleas or similar, identified in vicinity of a unit, shall be the
responsibility of resident pet owner of that unit.
 10. Pet licenses and required medical treatment (vaccination, flea protection) shall be kept up to date,
and pet owners shall submit proof to the Pet Management Committee with a copy provided to the
Resident Manager upon registration.
11. No Pet shall be left unattended for more than 24 hours without a pet sitter. Proper care and/or
boarding of pets during absences of pet owners shall be mandatory and the responsibility of the pet
owner.
12. Fish tank owners shall provide sufficient proof of insurance to cover costs of repair to other units as a
result of water damage.
13. The unit owner shall be liable for all costs incurred, including any applicable fees, fines and/or legal
fees assessed from their tenant’s violations and/or non-compliance of the Royal Crest Pet Rules

IV. As members of the Pet Management Committee, all pet owners shall indemnify and hold the
Association and all other Owners harmless against any loss or liability of any kind or character whatsoever
arising from or growing out of having any animal or pet on the property.

V. A Fine Schedule describing fines of $50 to $250 shall be published for all violations of Royal Crest
Association Pet Rules. Any deviation from these rules require prior written permission from the Board.
All violations and complaints shall be reported to the Pet Management Committee to determine the
appropriate remedy and to assess applicable fees and/or required fines, with the Board’s approval..

VI. In the event of repeated offenses the Board shall, at its sole discretion, have the right and obligation to
have the pet promptly removed from the building, while allowing other pets to remain.

VII. Should the Pet Management Committee (made up of all pet owners) fail to perform to the
expectations of the Board after the Board has received specific complaints from residents regarding
pets, the Board reserves the right to revoke these rules, or make any changes that, in their sole
discretion, the Board believes to be in the best interest of the Association.

All Recurring, but not continuing violations $50.00 shall be doubled for every subsequent
violation.

Collection of Fines:

Fines imposed and uncontested are due immediately and will appear on the Owner’s Assessments as a special
assessment within 30 days, or at the time of the next assessment (whichever is earlier). If the fine, or any part
of the Assessment, is not paid when due, it is handled as a delinquent assessment under the Declarations, and an
additional $30.00 shall be added as a late charge for each month until all of the Assessment, fines, late fees,
interest, and attorney’s fees and costs of collection (all of which are defined as Assessments under RCW 64.34
et seq., and applicable to Old Act condominiums) are paid in full. In addition, a default interest rate of 1.5% per
month on all amounts owing shall be assessed as well. Collection of any fine will be performed as a collection
of any Assessment, pursuant to the Condominium Declarations.

Approved by the Board of Directors.
