Hill Condominium Rental Pack
Rental Policy for Hill Condo properties
All Hill Condo owners have contractual responsibility by Deed to the Hill Condominium Owners Association. There is no contractual tie or obligation between the HCOA and Tenants and/or rental property management companies. Therefore, Hill Condo owners who chose to rent their units are solely responsible to the HCOA for any and all problems created by their tenants.
In addition, the HCOA’s property manager will only deal with tenant and/or rental
property management companies for emergency or safety related issues. The Hill Condo Manager is not contracted as a rental manager for the HCOA. Calls or complaints that are related to tenants and require the HCOA Manager to respond will result in a $50 fee charged to the unit owner for each occurrence above and beyond emergency and safety issues. The Manager will direct tenants to contact their unit Owner unless safety or immediate attention is required.
Owners who wish to rent out their property are required to have their tenants follow these requirements:
1. Copies of completed Hill Condo Unit Survey & Rental Property Form. These
forms inform our manager who is supposed to be using your property for
insurance reasons and the safety of all Owners and Association properties.
2. Copy of the Hill Condo Rules and Regulations accepted with the signatures of all
tenants.
Tenants will receive parking permits from the HCOA Managers office at #1313 once the above requirements are met. Failure to provide this information at the time of renting will require parking passes to be withheld until compliance is met. Vehicles without permits are subject to towing.
Rules for Tenants
Renters are contractually obligated to the Owner of the unit. Complaints or problems must be directed to your Owner or property manager, not the Hill Condo manager unless safety or immediate attention is required. You must complete a Rental Property Form, sign and return an acknowledgment of the Hill Condo Rules and Regulations at the time you take occupancy. Parking pass(es) will be issued when this is completed.
The following are some of the rules that must be followed. Fines for violations start at $100 per offense and increase with continual abuse. Please see Complaints and Fines Procedure for the detailed fine policy.
Occupancy
Studios may have no more than 2 tenants per unit. Lofts may have no more than 4 tenants per unit, three is recommended. Owners will be fined for each violation per each person over the occupancy standard. “Couch surfing” is not allowed and constitutes trespassing. If you have a visitor staying for more than 7 days in a month, you must have your Owner notify the manager immediately.

Quiet Hours Nuisance Rule Policy
Quiet hours are from 10pm to 10am . A nuisance is defined as any action that deprives an owner from the quiet, peaceful enjoyment inside or out of their condominium. Specific nuisances are excessive noise using stairs and decks, loud talking or yelling, profane language, loud noise from vehicles, barking dogs, and loud music or TV. If a nuisance from owners, tenants, or guests is created between the designated quiet hours of 10pm through 10am and is reported to the manager, the manager will investigate and make a log report. A $50 fee will be assessed. If a nuisance rule violation is decided then a fine of $100 will be assessed to the unit Owner. Please see Complaints and Fines Procedure for the detailed fine policy.
Dogs
Only Owners may have dogs on Hill Condo Property. Tenants or tenants’ guests may not.
Fines for violations of this rule are $100 for each day until the dog is removed and retroactive from the start of tenancy or when the dog is discovered.
Parking Policy
Parking permits are required in all parking lots of the Hill Condominiums, including the Overflow Lot. Vehicles must be parked in designated areas and cannot be parked in Fire Lanes, in front of any fire hydrant, or blocking the Big Sky Water & Sewer building. One permit is issued to each studio and 2 are issued to lofts. Vehicles that do not have a permit will be issued one warning only. You have 24 hours to move the vehicle off the Hill property or secure a valid parking pass or it will be towed without further warnings. No exceptions. A guest pass is available from the manager for short term visitors. Vehicles must be moved according to the snow plow schedule before 9:00 am. Additional parking is available by purchasing an Overflow Lot parking pass for $20 per month. Rules for the Overflow Lot are posted and available from the Manager.
Overflow Lot Policy
Parking in the Overflow Lot is by permit and in the designated area only. Passes are only available for current registered residents of the Hill Condominiums. An application form
is available from the Manager. Permits cost $20 per month and are prorated from the first stof each month. Failure to renew your monthly pass prior to the 1 of each month will
result in your vehicle being towed on that day. Passes may be prepaid for 6 months at a time.
Vehicles in this lot must be moved at least weekly and on plow days to keep snow from blocking them in. Vehicles that are not parked in the designated area will be asked to move immediately or they will be towed out of the lot. Temporary parking without a ndpermit will result in the vehicle being towed without warning. Owners can request a 2
parking pass for the Overflow Lot without charge but must have this pass on the vehicle at all times. Overflow lot passes are not valid in the main parking lots of the Hill Condos. Violators will be towed after one 24 hour warning notice is issued.
