Our facilities, location, professional management and activities provide a sound basis for happy living-and people like you and your neighbors make it a home. We want you to enjoy living in Lamplighter Acres.

Home owners will bear full responsibility for installation and maintenance of plumbing, tie-downs and utility systems (water, gas, oil, sewer & electric) from his home to the community receptacles or connections. A tenant should periodically make visual checks of these connections and report anything that looks out of order to the community Office. Tenants are responsible for electric and gas that goes through their meters. Since lines beyond the community-provided electric connection and gas meter, the 4” sewer outlet and our water pipe are owned by the tenant, it is the tenant’s responsibility to periodically check and maintain them and to be responsible for any fuel or electric lost through their lines if there is a leak. The community management’s responsibility is only up to and including our water and sewer risers only and to our home electric service panel or junction box by your home.

NO tissues, cigarette butts, paper towels, sanitary napkins, contraceptives or any other non-disposable substances including grease, garbage, coffee grounds, food particles or disposable diapers are to be disposed of through the sewer or drain lines. Garbage disposals WILL NOT be allowed. The lines cannot handle such items and will only cause sewers to back up. Costs of removing such items will be billed to the homeowner.

E. The Community management reserves the right to periodically check your plumbing fixtures and outlets for wastefulness. A tenant’s water may be shut off if the tenant allows water to run or keep pipes from freezing, has leaky faucets, a toilet tank valve that does not shut off, has any other loose connections or valves from which water is leaking or allows other unnecessary wasteful water practices. Service will be restored only after the community management is satisfied that the leak(s) has (have) been repaired satisfactorily. These leaks will also cause your above ground sewer lines to freeze. Tenants will be charged regular service rates for us to thaw out above ground sewer lines.

F. A properly installed heat tape is neither a fire hazard nor a large expense to operate. The community management asks that all heat tapes be installed to proper standards by the mobile homeowner. If, at any time, we determine that a heat tape is not in proper working order, the management will discontinue the water service until the tenant either has us replace the heat tape properly or he does it himself. There is no excuse for allowing water to run to keep pipes from freezing. Heat tapes that are properly installed will protect your pipes from the weather conditions we have in this area.

G. All homes shall he installed with a water shut-off valve in the line going to the home, that is accessible to the tenant so that he may turn off the water at any time he wishes to do so. It will be the homeowner’s responsibility to own and maintain this valve. It is not the policy of the community management to have water keys available for shutting off underground valves or to have someone in attendance on a regular basis to shut off water. It is your responsibility to have a valve installed so you can shut off your own water in case of an emergency or when you need to make minor repairs to your water system.

H. Lawn and/or garden watering will be allowed only with hand held hoses.

I. Those of you who leave the area for a warmer climate in the winter, or extended vacations, should let the Office know.

VII. VEHICLES, ROADS AND PARKING

A. The speed limit is 10m.p.h. Excessive speed will not be tolerated. Speed bumps do not damage slow moving vehicles. Everyone MUST comply with posted traffic control signs. In an effort to enforce the speed limit we will be using a radar gun and the acknowledgment system outlined as follows:

H. No unlicensed and/or uninsured motorcycles or motor vehicles are allowed to be operated on community properly.

I. No vehicles may be left unattended on community roads at any time: This could cause a disastrous situation of ingress and egress, especially for emergency vehicles. Vehicles parked in roadways may be towed immediately and the 10 day notice provision for vehicles improperly parked will not apply to vehicles parked on roadways. Park to the side of road if necessary.

J. All vehicles of all occupants of all homes must be registered with the community Office. It will be assumed by the community management that any vehicle not registered with us, does not belong in the community and when problems arise, said vehicle will be handled as if they were owned by strangers and abandoned on our private property.

IX. COMPLAINTS

A. A mobile home community is a group of homes located in close proximity to each other. At times minor problems will arise between neighbors. These problems should first be talked over and an agreement arrived at by these same neighbors. If you are not able to jointly solve the problem, after a reasonable attempt has been made by you, a written complaint to the community management would be in order. We handle written complaints with written responses relating to the rule violation.

B. If you have any complaints worthy of a written rule violation notice from us, present a complaint in writing to the community Office.

C. Complaints will not be listened to, accepted by, or acted upon by any service employee while they are working in the community. Complaints must be directed to the Office.

X. GENERAL COMMUNITY POLICIES

A. Office hours will vary. Those in effect, at any time, are posted on the outside of the Office. Our phone number is 518-745-8800. If you have an emergency the Answering Service will contact us.

B. If you have any problems interpreting these rules, or if you want to do something that is not covered, it is necessary to consult the Office before going ahead and doing it. This may save us both problems.

C. A resident will be given ten (10) days to correct a rules violation, after we have delivered a written notice. If he/she fails to correct said violation, he/she will be notified to vacate within thirty (30) days.

E. The community management reserves the right to add, change or modify these rules and regulations from time to time. These rules and regulations may be changed after 30 days written notice by community management to tenants. A tenant who does not agree with a new rule or regulation may choose to give the community management notice that he intends to leave the community prior to implementation of said rule or regulation or fee schedule. By virtue of a tenant remaining in the community after effective date of any rule, regulation or fee schedule, the tenant agrees to abide by such rule.

F. For items that are not covered specifically in the rules, the management reserves the right to make reasonable, common sense policies that affect the situation and to implement them immediately

G. These rules and regulations are necessary in order to have a neat, clean, orderly and enjoyable facility. An infraction of these rules is adequate grounds for eviction, as defined in the New York Real Property Actions and Proceedings Law. The -management does not want to evict anyone, but violations of these rules may make such action necessary.

H. A violation of some of these rules is not just a violation of community rules, but could be a violation of the Saratoga County Health Code or other local or State codes or law. Judicial action and prosecution is possible for noncompliance in these areas.

I. These rules and regulations are provided for the convenience and welfare of the residents. We realize that some of these may cause inconvenience at times, but, if you desire to live in a clean, well-kept community, rules are necessary.

J. Tenants and homeowners agree that they will come to the community Office, when requested, to answer concerns or problems that the management may have with them or their home or lot.

K. No commercial enterprises are allowed on your mobile home lot or in your mobile home without the written permission of the community management

L. Although our staff is in the community on a regular basis, it is not possible for us to see or hear about every violation of community rules. It is our intention, through these rules, to make our community the best in the country. In order to reach this goal, your assistance is necessary in letting us know what rules are not being followed, and by whom. Everyone must accept some responsibility in order that our community is one of the best in the country.

May your stay here be an enjoyable one. Please feel free to offer suggestions for the improvement of this residential community.
