Resident

c. City of Boulder laws permit a renter to have a temporary houseguest. However, if any guest becomes a resident of the apartment or dwelling unit, and if this produces a violation of the legal occupancy limit, a criminal prosecution can result.

d. Violations of the occupancy laws of the City of Boulder can result in criminal prosecutions and fines of up to $2,000 for each day in violation.

Interest on Security Deposits

Interest on security deposits will be paid at the yearly rate specified by the City of Boulder. Noise Ordinances

The City of Boulder has several ordinances that regulate noise. Violations of any of these ordinances can result in criminal prosecution and a maximum fine of up to $1,000 and 90 days in jail.

a. Disruption of Quiet Enjoyment of the Home, Section 5-3-8, B.R.C. 1981. This focuses on individuals who engage in loud behavior that disrupts a neighbor who is in his or her own home. b. Unreasonable Noise, Section 5-6-1, B.R.C. 1981. This is a provision that can be used when officers, standing more than 100 feet away from a noise source, hear amplified music in a

residential zone after 11:00 p.m.

c. Excessive Sound Levels, Section 5-6-2, B.R.C. 1981. This is based upon measuring sound levels with meters. Noise must not exceed 50 decibels between 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. in a residential zone. Late at night, the ambient or background noise level in most neighborhoods is approximately 35 decibels. A sound 15 decibels greater than background noise (50dBA), such as a loud stereo, will wake the average person from a deep sleep.

b. Companion Animals do not have specific training but assist an individual in coping with a disability, such as providing emotional support.

c. Pets are any animals, birds, fish, or reptiles which are not Service or Companion Animals under this Policy. No exotic pets, reptiles, or spiders are allowed without written permission from management. Rabbits or ferrets are not allowed. This Policy applies to Pets.

unattended. Pets must be on a leash outside of the dwelling unit.

All pets must be current in their vaccinations and inoculations. A veterinarian’s statement to this effect must be submitted at the time of the resident’s annual recertification. All animals are required to be spayed or neutered.

Vicious Animals Prohibited

Any animal that behaves in a vicious or threatening way or is otherwise dangerous to other tenants and/or BHP employees will be subject to removal under Section 1.13. It is the Resident’s

responsibility to insure that their animal behaves in a safe and non-threatening manner at all times. Vicious Animals Prohibited

If the security deposit is not adequate to cover the cost of the damages caused by the pet, the excess amount will be charged to the resident. An itemized list of charges due will be sent within 60 days of the resident’s move-out date provided the resident has given proper written notice to BHP.

Pet Fee

(25)

Resident’s Absence

If for any reason the animal is left unattended for more than twelve (12) hours, BHP may call the designated alternative care provider and that person will then be permitted to enter the dwelling unit and be required to remove the animal. If the alternative care provider cannot be reached, the animal may be placed in an appropriate boarding facility with all costs and fees borne by the resident. Within 5 days of an emergency, the resident, the resident’s agent, family or estate shall make arrangements with the holder of said animal as to its disposition and shall be responsible for all obligations, financial and otherwise, for the actions taken on behalf of the resident, or the well being of the animal. In the event the resident can no longer care for the animal due to health deterioration, the resident agrees to remove the animal from the dwelling unit.

Animal Behavior and Violation of Policy

Upon receipt of a verified animal complaint, BHP will issue a written warning to the resident. Three verified complaints within any twelve-month period shall constitute a violation of this pet policy and the resident may be required to remove the animal from the dwelling unit. If the animal bites any person, it shall be promptly removed from the dwelling unit and may not return. The resident must certify that the animal is no longer living in the dwelling unit and will not return in the future. Misrepresentation of this certification or refusal to remove the animal will be grounds for eviction of the resident. BHP reserves the right to act immediately in animal removal situations deemed an emergency.

Unauthorized Pets

If BHP discovers that a resident has one or more pets which have not been registered and approved as required by this policy, the resident will be notified to remove the pet(s) from the unit and will forfeit the right to have a pet in the future on BHP property. If a resident allows a pet to occupy the home prior to written consent and paying a pet fee/deposit, Boulder Housing Partners will notify the resident of a lease violation. Resident shall have three (3) days from notification to remove the pet from the apartment and will be assessed a $100.00 unauthorized pet fee. If the resident does not remove the pet within three (3) days, a second notice will be sent and another unauthorized pet fee will be charged. If the unauthorized animal is not removed after the second notice, a demand for compliance or possession will be served on the resident.

Liability

The resident shall be strictly liable for the entire amount of any injury caused by their animal to the person or property of another resident, a neighbor, or a member of BHP staff.

No sick or injured animal will be accepted for occupancy without consultation of and written

acknowledgement of a veterinarian as to the condition of the animal’s ability to live in an apartment situation. Denial of the animal regardless of documentation and consultation is the prerogative of management. Admitted animals that suffer illnesses or injury must be immediately taken for veterinarian care at the resident’s expense.

Sick or Injured Animals

The resident agrees to maintain the unit in a sanitary and odorless condition. The resident shall be responsible for the immediate and appropriate removal of any feces deposited by the animal. Cat litter will not be disposed of by flushing down toilets. Charges for unclogging toilets or clean up of common areas attributable to pet nuisance will be billed to and paid for by the resident.
