RENTAL RULES:

Association Members who own a residence in the Emerald Lakes Community may rent, lease or make available to others their residence. To protect the rights and well-being of all Association Members, and for the good of the Community-at-large, the Association requests that Members, who choose to rent their residences, either directly or through a rental agency, carefully screen their prospective Tenants as to character, responsibility and legal age.

Member/Landlord
