Notice to all Members of the Bendor Village Home Owners Association

Letting, Marketing, Sales and Transfers of Properties in Bendor Village

(Extracts from the Company Rules of the Bendor Village Home Owners’ Association NPC)

 
A. Letting of residential properties in Bendor Village

To summarise, the main requirements are:

Copies of ID documents of prospective tenants must be provided to the secretary before finalisation of a lease agreement.

Prior arrangements must be made for fingerprint access for the tenant with the secretary.

The lease agreement must be submitted to the secretary of the Home Owners’ Association before tenants are allowed to move in.

To elaborate, further particulars are:

Members may only let their properties if they are in full compliance with the rules of the Home Owners’ Association.

Written confirmation must be obtained from the Home Owners’ Association prior to the finalisation of a lease with a tenant.

The names and copies of identity documents of tenants must be provided to the secretary (together with contact details and e-mail addresses) with the request for permission to let a property and particulars of the proposed lease.

The member is held liable for the actions of his tenants and the visitors of his tenants, including contractors, delivery vehicles, domestic workers and gardeners.

Members letting properties are also obliged to maintain their gardens and swimming pools in a clean, neat and tidy condition at all times.

Members letting properties must make provision in their rental agreements that the tenant is bound to the rules of the Bendor Village Home Owners’ Association.

All persons who wish to occupy properties in Bendor Village as tenants of members must also consent to have their criminal records examined and for this purpose, agree to have their fingerprints taken by the Home Owners’ Association.

 
In view of this rule and the limitation on the number of tenants occupying any property (two persons per bedroom on the approved building plans, with a maximum of eight per property), members are strongly advised to include the following two clauses in rental agreements for properties in Bendor Village as well:

The lessee agrees and consents thereto that the Bendor Village Home Owners’ Association shall be entitled to examine the criminal record of the lessee and any other adult intending to occupy the property, and for this reason agrees to have his/her (and any other adult intending to occupy the property) fingerprints taken by the Home Owners’ Association or its agents.

The lessee confirms that the following persons (including all adults and children) will occupy the property during the currency of the lease (and no other persons, without the prior written consent of the lessor):

B. Marketing of properties in Bendor Village

Estate agents will not be allowed access unless they have permission from the particular property owner or occupant.

No advertising boards may be displayed in front of the house that is for sale, anywhere within the boundaries of Bendor Village and not at the entrance to Bendor Village.

Houses may not be placed on show. Potential buyers wishing to view the property must be accompanied by the estate agent who has the permission of the particular property owner or occupant.

Where a house is to be sold by public auction, the auctioneers must make arrangements with the secretary at least seven days before the day of the auction.

 

Screening of Tenants

In the interest of the safety and security of all the residents of Bendor Village, the Board of Directors has decided to forthwith introduce stricter control measures before tenants will be permitted to rent property inside Bendor Village.

This follows upon recent press reports and specifically on an article carried in a leading daily newspaper with the heading “Robber tenants hit ‘secure’ complexes”. The article warns that crime in residential estates in on the increase, especially in Gauteng, where syndicates are moving into complexes as tenants and breaking into houses for months before disappearing with the goods. Nearer home, Urban Africa Security has confirmed that, in a security complex elsewhere in Polokwane, suspicion exists that a person residing inside the complex concerned has been responsible for a number of incidents relating to theft.

For the above reasons, it has been deemed prudent to check on the criminal record of tenants before allowing them to reside in the Village. In future, the following particulars of prospective tenants must therefore be supplied to the Secretary:

1. Full names of tenant

2. Present residential address

3. ID number

4. Cell number

Members making use of estate agents should please bring this new regulation to their attention.

The co-operation of all members is highly appreciated.

The Board of Directors

 

Kennisgewing aan alle lede van die Bendor Village Huiseienaarsvereniging

Keuring van huurders

In belang van die veiligheid en sekuriteit van alle inwoners van Bendor Village, het die raad van direkteure besluit om voortaan strenger beheermatreëls in te stel voordat enigeen toegelaat sal word om eiendom in Bendor Villge te huur.

Dit volg op onlangse persberigte en spesifiek op ‘n artikel in ‘n vooraanstaande dagblad met die opskrif “Robber tenants hit ‘secure’ complexes”. Die artikel waarsku dat misdaad in residensiële komplekse aan die toeneem is, veral in Gauteng, waar sindikate as huurders by komplekse intrek en maande-lank by huise inbreek voordat hulle met die gesteelde goedere verdwyn. Nader tuis, het Urban Africa Sekuriteit bevestig dat, in ‘n sekuriteitskompleks elders in Polokwane, die vermoede bestaan dat ‘n persoon wat in die betrokke kompleks woon verantwoordelik was vir ‘n aantal insidente wat met diefstal verband hou.

Om bogenoemde redes is dit raadsaam geag om die kriminele rekord van huurders na te gaan voordat hulle toegelaat sal word om in die Village te woon. In die toekoms moet die volgende besonderhede van voornemende huurders aan die sekretaresse voorsien word:

1. Volle name van huurder

2. Huidige woonadres

3. ID-nommer

4. Selfoonnommer

Lede wat van eiendomsagente gebruik maak moet asseblief hierdie nuwe reëling onder hul aandag bring.

Die samewerking van alle lede word hoog op prys gestel.
