Landlord & Tenant Information
We hope that this information assists landlords and tenants in having a positive experience at River Oaks. Tenants are welcome and encouraged to actively participate in community events and to serve on committees.
River Oaks maintains a community-wide email group and all are welcome to be added to this group. This email group greatly increases communication and enhances the community for everyone. To join the email group, please complete a Contact Info form.
A few provisions ensure that all live in harmony.
- Landlords and tenants must abide by the Leasing Rules adopted by the Board of Directors in July, 2009 and effective August 15, 2009.
- In accordance with those rules, landlords must complete a Lease Addendum certifying that tenants have received a copy of all pertinent Rules and Regulations, including Parking Policies and Architectural Rules, and that tenants have appropriate Renters Insurance.
- With regard to changes to the exterior of units, including any landscaping changes, only unit owners may submit an Architectural Change Application. The Architectural Rules and Regulations are found on the Architectural & Landscaping page of this website.
