• If an Owner doesn’t, the Subdivision can, in some cases, take necessary corrective action and bill the Owner for these costs. 
• For example: An absentee Owner allows his/her lawn to go uncut for weeks, creating an eyesore or habitat for vermin. 
• The Trustees are authorized to contract someone to cut the grass and the Owner will be billed for all expenses.
• Any Owner who rents or leases a home to a tenant is responsible for ensuring that the tenant complies with all the provisions of this Indenture.
