In order that all members of The Ridings at Northampton Residents Association are treated fairly and equally, and to preserve the appearance and value of The Ridings at Northampton (RNH) as an executive townhome community and a desirable place to live, the RNH Board of Directors establishes and enforces various RNH Rules & Regulations to serve as standards necessary to maintain the appearance and value of the community as a whole as well as an enhanced quality of life.
The primary purpose of the Rules & Regulations is to maintain/increase the value of the executive townhome development that all homeowners have invested in, and compliance with the Rules & Regulations is the responsibility of all homeowners. While the elected Board members have a heightened responsibility for enforcing the Rules & Regulation, this responsibility should be a collaborative effort on the part of the entire development. The board makes every effort to avoid punitive enforcement of the Rules & Regulations and welcomes input regarding any new exterior materials or unforeseen situations that may arise. All residents should take pride in their homes/development and be active in maintenance/protection. The board is open to questions, concerns, and new ideas regarding the development.
Ridings’ residents live in very close quarters, and one minor infraction of the Rules & Regulations by one homeowner may seem harmless (leaving trash bins curbside outside of regulated timeframe); yet if all homeowners were to engage in the infraction, the value of the homes in the development would quickly decline and problems would arise (a cluttered curbside appearance, parking issues, etc.). Even just one home/property in violation of the Rules & Regulations can decrease the curb appeal and value of other homes in the community. Residents are responsible for becoming familiar with these Rules & Regulations, which is the first and important step in complying with them.
