👯‍♀️ Conduct Guidelines

General conduct

You, your occupants or guests, or the guests of any occupants, may not engage in the following activities: behaving in a loud or obnoxious manner; disturbing or threatening the rights, comfort, health, safety, or convenience of others (including our agents and employees) in or near the apartment community; disrupting our business operations; manufacturing, delivering, possessing with intent to deliver, or otherwise possessing a controlled substance or drug paraphernalia; engaging in or threatening violence; possessing a weapon prohibited by state law; discharging a firearm in the apartment community; displaying or possessing a gun, knife, or other weapon in the common area in a way that may alarm others; storing anything in closets having gas appliances; tampering with utilities or telecommunications; bringing hazardous materials into the apartment community; or injuring our reputation by making bad faith allegations against us to others.

Smoking

The community, including all interior and outdoor spaces are smoke and vape free zones.

Using smoke or vapor devices in the community are considered violations that may result in fines or eviction.

Quiet hours & Noise

At Culdesac Tempe, we aim to maintain a comfortable and respectful living environment for all residents. While some everyday noise is expected in a shared community, excessive or ongoing disturbances are not permitted. Noise may be considered a concern if it is frequent, excessively loud, or disruptive to neighboring residents, and this applies at all times—not just during designated quiet hours. To support a restful environment, quiet hours are observed from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM, during which residents should minimize noise from music, conversations, and other activities that may carry between units.

Pets are welcome in the community but must not create repeated disturbances. Continuous or frequent barking, particularly when a resident is not home, may be considered a lease violation. When a noise concern is reported, our team follows a standard process that may include an initial reminder, monitoring for patterns, a formal investigation if concerns continue, and lease enforcement if necessary. We ask all residents to be mindful of noise levels, take steps to prevent ongoing disturbances, and communicate with management if issues arise. If you experience ongoing noise, please report it with details such as time, duration, and frequency so we can address concerns fairly and effectively.

Fines

As a community, we are committed to providing a safe and comfortable living environment for all residents. To ensure that this standard is maintained, it is important that everyone in our community follows the rules and regulations set forth in the lease agreement. Unfortunately, there are times when residents violate the terms of their lease agreement, which can result in fees and penalties.

Examples of violations that may result in fees include:

• Failure to properly dispose of trash and garbage
• Loud noise and disturbance of the peace
• Smoking in the community
• Damage to the property beyond normal wear and tear
• Hosting illegal activities in the apartment
• Breaking any of our community guidelines

We take lease violations seriously and will take appropriate action when necessary. Before any action is taken, we will thoroughly investigate any alleged lease violations and provide the resident with an opportunity to respond.

It is important to note that by violating the lease agreement, residents may also be subject to other legal consequences, including eviction or legal action.

We encourage all residents to familiarize themselves with the terms of their lease agreement and to ask questions if there is any confusion or uncertainty. By working together and respecting each other's rights, we can ensure that our community remains a pleasant and safe place to call home.

Additionally, breaking any of the rules outlined in the resident lease or the community guidelines may result in a 10 day notice, in which the resident must desist from violating guidelines. Depending on the severity of the rule broken, residents may receive a warning and/or fee. Culdesac reserves the right to escalate to eviction if guidelines are not adhered to.
