Leasing Your Home in Verandah
It is the desire of some homeowners in the Verandah Community Association and the Neighborhood Associations to welcome lessees and invited guests to our charming environment. Adherence to all Rules and Regulations and Covenants ensures we continue to enjoy an ideal private and community life. This process has been designed to protect Verandah homeowners, tenants leasing those properties and owners' guests who may be invited to occupy the premises, at no charge, in the absence of the owners. The purpose of this process is to provide the Verandah Community Patrol with all the information they need to ensure compliance with the rules and to protect all occupants if an emergency arises during their stay.
Both the Verandah property owners and the tenants/guests will benefit from compliance with this process.
- Verandah homeowners will be protected from: Unauthorized use of their properties; Inappropriate entry from unknown/undesirable occupants of others' properties; excessive rental/use of neighboring properties.
- Verandah tenants/invited guests will benefit from: Verandah Gatehouse staff's ability to communicate with them in an emergency; assurance that other occupants are following common rules.

All residents who plan to rent or lease their unit are required to have their tenant complete and submit the Verandah Community Association lease application, required documents, and payment for approval.
