Rancho Dominguez Townhomes is a private, residential community. It is not appropriate nor permitted to operate a business out of a unit.

Solicitors by law may not be prohibited from leaving their advertising materials on your front porch and front door. They are not, however, to knock on your door or ring your door bell.

Consider the appearance of your complex. Don't leave personal items, toys or sporting equipment outside of units or on Common Areas. Keep your garage door closed with not in use.

First, talk with your neighbor and calmly explain what is bothering you. It is very possible that your neighbor is unaware that the TV is too loud or the dog barks every time it is left along.

If there is no improvement, you can:

• Notify the Property Management Company. Detail the situation and what you have done in an attempt to resolve it. Request a letter be sent to the owner of the unit involved - requesting notification that the residents must conform to CC&Rs Article VIII, Section 14. "No noxious or offensive activity shall be carried on upon any property within Rancho Dominguez Townhomes, nor shall anything be done or maintained thereon which may be or become an annoyance or nuisance to the neighborhood." (See Rules & Regulations below about follow up actions, if the situation is not resolved within 30 days.)
• Call the police. They can issue a warning or (if you press charges) the individual will be taken to the police department and a citation written up.

1. First Offense. The Association sends the homeowner(s) a warning letter citing the violation(s) and requesting compliance with the CC&Rs or published Rules and Regulations within thirty (30) days.
