Rules and Regulations

When planning your move into, out of, and between units at the Colonnade, the unit owner must schedule the move in writing via email with the on-site management office (colonnade@abarisrealty.com) no less than one (1) week in advance of the move date. Only unit owners may schedule a move.

Before scheduling a move in, provide a copy of the negotiated lease. A “refundable-upon-inspection” check of five hundred dollars ($500.00) for the move-in security deposit must be paid prior to your move-in date. Checks should be made payable to “The Colonnade” and submitted with the necessary paperwork.

All above mentioned forms and monies MUST be paid prior to the move-in date. Move-ins and move-outs and moves between units are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. Schedule your moving date as early as possible, especially in the high-volume spring and summer months.

Moves:

• Are permitted Mondays through Fridays, 9:00 AM – 7:00 PM and Saturdays from 10 am – 6 pm. Moves are not permitted on Sundays or holidays.
• When using the elevator in 11 Arch Place, using the side entrance located on Granite Place. There is no parking allowed directly in front of the entry on Granite Place, but ‘Moving’ vehicles may park at the back end of Granite Place to unload.
• The elevator located in 23 Arch Place may NOT be used for moves.
• Parking in front of the entryway to the freight elevator (see sign on the door) on the side of 17 Granite Place is not permitted as it blocks access to the garage. Vehicles illegally parked there will be ticketed and/or towed.
• Under no circumstances should any vehicle block the garage entrance. This is a fire lane and must, in all cases, be kept clear for emergency vehicles. Vehicles illegally parked there will be ticketed and/or towed. All other vehicles associated with the move, including your car, must be parked legally.

When any move is in progress, all exterior doors will remain closed unless items are being actively transported into or out of the building. Under no circumstances should any exterior door be propped open as this compromises the security of the building.

All personal belongings and moving materials are to be placed directly in the elevator. When items are removed from the elevator, they should be placed directly in the unit. At no time should personal belongings or moving materials be left in any hallway or stairwell as this creates a fire code violation.

Each Unit owner is responsible for the proper removal of trash, debris, crating or boxes resulting from the move. Discarded mattresses or furniture should not be left on the property. Arrangements for the disposal of bulk items at the owner’s/resident’s expense can be made by calling Potomac Disposal at 301-294-9700 for scheduling a pick up. Under no circumstances should any bulk trash items be left in the garage or placed inside the trash compactor.

Management does not loan dollies, tools, carts, pads, other equipment, or manpower for moves.

As much as is possible, those involved in the move should realize that the Colonnade is a multiple unit dwelling and that talking back and forth in the halls and elevator can be heard by others in the building. Please be reminded that while your move is in progress, noise should be kept minimal. Our residents expect to enjoy the quiet peace of their homes at all times.

The owner of the unit will be held fully responsible for any damage caused to any portion of the common elements (including but not limited to hallway and stairwell walls, floors and ceilings as well as the elevator) during the course of the move. Such damage shall be deducted from the move policy deposit and if the damage exceeds the deposit amount, it will be assessed to the unit owner’s condo fee account.

This policy does not apply to furniture delivery. However, if you intend to use the freight elevator for your furniture delivery, you must notify the on-site management office in writing via email at least 3 business days in advance so that arrangements can be made to place the pads in the elevator to protect the walls from any damage.

Policy for Garage Gate Openers and Door Fobs:

• Garage gate openers and door fobs are the property of the Colonnade Community Association and must transfer with the property, otherwise there will be a cost for replacement.
• Property Management is responsible for purchasing these devices.
• New Residents should be conveyed the appropriate number of openers and door fobs based on the size of their unit and parking spaces from the prior owners/lessees.
• Failed gate openers or fobs may be returned to property management for a no-cost replacement.
• Residents who lose an opener or a door fob will pay a ‘replacement fee’ of $30.00.
• Owners selling a unit must convey all openers and fobs in their possession to the new unit owners at settlement. The new owners must then bring the openers and fobs to the on-site Property? Management Office to be registered and activated.

Any violation of the provisions contained in this move policy including failing to schedule your move one week in advance, will result in a fine in the amount of five hundred dollars ($500.00) after due notice and opportunity for a hearing.

• No Owner shall have any right or easement to use or enjoy any Parking Unit that is not a Community Parking Space, except for the parking space owned by that Owner as a Parking Unit. All rights of Owners to Community Parking Spaces are limited to use in accordance with any Community Association restrictions, rules and regulations, pursuant to Section 6.3 of the Declaration hereto.

Towing Enforcement:

The current contractor is Henry’s Towing at 301-869-4800. You must state your name, phone number and address and when the tow truck arrives, the owner of the deeded parking space must show proper photo ID and sign off on the towing company’s authorization form which confirms that you own the parking space in question. Please note that this enforcement only applies to privately owned/deeded parking spaces. You must own the space in question in order to authorize the towing of a vehicle from that space.
• The management company is the only entity that may authorize the towing of any vehicle from a community owned/public spaces.
• The owner of the unauthorized vehicle which is towed is responsible for payment of the towing fees at the time they retrieve their vehicle from the towing company’s lot.
• The CCA Board and management strongly encourage using towing only as a last resort. We encourage good parking etiquette to include the following:
  
  • Park only in your own space.
  • Take note of cars parked around your parking space. Sometimes people mistakenly park in an adjacent space. Get to know your parking neighbors.
  • Try more informal means of discouraging unauthorized parking such as leaving a note on the vehicle asking them not to park in your deeded space in the future.
  • Remember that your deeded parking space may only be used for parking of passenger vehicles. All vehicles must display current registration and be in good working order.
  • Please respect the use of handicapped spaces by only parking in one if you have the proper legal handicapped permit or tag and you have a need to use the handicapped parking space.

The City of Gaithersburg has informed the Association that some of the units in the condominium are required to have a specialized model of dryers installed. The affected units were posted with a plaque by the Declarant and the plaque notes that a long vent capacity dryer is required to be installed in the units. As of January 2018, this list of dryers should be acceptable for purchase if needed:

GE Model GFDL110EHWW
Whirlpool Model WGD7590FW
Kenmore Model 65212

Owners may also use condensing (ductless) dryers if they are installed precisely per manufacturer’s instructions. You may Google “condensing ductless clothes dryers” for more information.

Clogged dryer vents can pose a serious safety hazard for the entire building. When a dryer cannot vent properly due to build up of lint, bird nest material, etc., it can cause the dryer motor to overheat and could possibly lead to a FIRE! For this reason, the Colonnade requires that dryer vents be cleaned at least every five years.

In order to garner cost savings and ensure that each unit gets the vents cleaned, the CCA contracts for this service with a certified professional company. The contracted service requires access to each unit to fully clean the dryer vent from both inside and outside of the unit. If you are not able to provide access during the time the CCA contractor is scheduled to perform this service, you will be required to show proof of cleaning after the fact.

If you miss the CCA cleaning, you may use any professional dryer vent cleaning company of your choice to satisfy the mandatory dryer vent cleaning requirement. Each unit owner is required to submit written evidence to the property management office that the service has been completed. Each owner opting to arrange for cleaning of the dryer vent separately must submit the required documentation within 60 days of the completion of the CCA’s contract for dryer cleaning. Owners opting out of the CCA provided service will not be reimbursed by the CCA.

Names of owners who do not comply with the mandatory dryer vent cleaning will be submitted to the Fire Marshal’s Office and those owners may also be subject to enforcement action, including fines, by the CCA Board of Directors.
