MAINTENANCE SERVICE POLICY
In general, the common facilities which are available for use by all of the owners and residents are maintained by the Association
at common expense. The individual owner is responsible for maintaining the property within the exterior walls, lowest floor level,
and uppermost ceilings of their condominium. However, some maintenance needs are not clearly defined or are left to the
discretion of the Board. Silver Lake Woods is unique in that it has two Unit types which in the interest of fairness mandates that
maintenance and cost responsiblities are not all uniform between the Unit types. In the interest of clarity and fairness, the
following maintenance/cost allocation guidelines have been adopted by your Board of Directors.
