8. RESIDENT BEHAVIOUR

No noise that is excessive, in the discretion of the Trustee Board, may be created at any time in a section or on the common property.

Silence must be maintained from— (a) Sunday to Thursday between the hours of 21h00 and 08h00; (b) Friday and Saturday between the hours of 00h00 and 09h00 Any resident not complying with this rule and having been requested verbally or in writing by the Trustee Board to rectify such contravention immediately may be sanctioned and penalized without further warning.

All television, radio, and other appliances emitting sound, including musical instruments, must be kept at audio levels which are reasonable in the discretion of the Trustee Board.

All vehicles must be maintained and driven in such a manner as not to exceed the bylaws permissible for noise levels, or so as to disturb residents. No hooting, revving, skidding or screeching of tyres shall be permitted on the common property. No loud music may emanate from any vehicle on the premises.

No explosives, crackers, fireworks or items of similar nature may at any time be exploded, lit or operated in section or any part of the common property.

No firearms may be discharged in a section or any part of the common property, except under such circumstances, which would reasonable justify the use of a firearm for self-defence and related purposes.

The use of power tools, hammering and other noise generating equipment shall not be permitted before 09h00 and after 19h00 on any day. Emergency work that cannot be performed during the above hours, including emergency plumbing and electrical work is allowed outside of these times, subject to MBC approval.

All building alterations or other activities that create a noise may only take place between the hours of 08h00 and 17h00, Monday to Friday and not over weekends or public holidays. All building noise must be kept to a minimum so as not to inconvenience other residents.

No owner, lessee or occupant may permit anything to be done in his or her section, exclusive area or on the common property, which constitutes a nuisance or an unreasonable invasion of the privacy of the other residents of the buildings, or permit or cause any disturbance or allow his or her children or visitors of their children to cause any disturbance which in the opinion of the Trustee Board would constitute a nuisance or an invasion of the right of privacy of other residents.

If a resident wants to host a private function in their unit, all their neighbours must be informed by the resident in person. Private functions are to be limited to a size and noise level having due regard to neighbouring residents and the size of the section where the function is to be held. The Trustee Board have a right to review arrangements for functions, including but not limited to limiting the number of guests, parking arrangements, timings etc.

The Trustee Board may issue direct and specific directives regarding noise, nuisance and disturbance aimed at problematic persons who continuously show disregard for the rights of residents and Members. Such directives will be binding in nature with immediate effect
