Community Rules

Hi All,
We are just starting the process of putting together thoughts on the rules we would like to propose for our community (Los Olivos in Urb. Huerta Nueva in Los Gallardos).
I seem to remember someone once posted to this forum the rules they had in place for their community - this would be a very good starting point for us - can anyone remember who posted something like that and where that post might be ?

Second question : it looks like the builder has appointed a company called Marinasol to act as Adminstrator for our community - does anyone have any good or bad experiences with Marinasol ?  (I've seen postings on another forum indicating they are unreliable and difficult to work with).

Dave,

Can i suggest you take your e-mail out of your signaute in your profile please?

For you own benefit, else you will have all sorts of unsolicited e-mails hitting you box.

See rules of posting above each thread, only for your benefit ok?

Kind regards,

Please find following the general rules we incorporated for our community. A good tip is to get them translated into Spanish, german, French and stick the up in the lifts (if you have a french family in the block install a french copy in the lift as they are likely to have french guests, english is a general language) this has been particuarly useful as people read things when they are in lifts so let them read the community rules!!!!

It was agreed to investigate the legal implications of the prohibition to dive or jump into the
pool.
Owners who rent their apartments were asked to display the Community rules inside. It was
also agreed to display these at each entrance, lift and in the pool area.

Hi, I have read your Community rules and they are, in effect, similar to our own. Each of our 184 apartments have had a copy ( I personally helped put each copy...in a plastic folder.....under each door ) and they are displayed in each block........we have two.

Pool rules are repeated four times in the pool area.

What I want to know is................................why don't people READ them..................and why don't they act accordingly ??????????? AND why does most of the Community think they have no responsibility to make sure these rules are kept ?????????

ts called breeding

those that dont have any respect for others dont expect anyone to have any respect for them. So they live in a cocooned world where everyone outside their close circle of friends hates them and they hate the world and act accordingly to piss everyone else off while they live in their self centred environment........................... just got back from a bad meeting so speaking my mind not the politically correct response you might have wanted to hear?

I was brought up with the rule....do unto others as you would like them to do to you......its kept me in good stead, but i dont think these people had this sort of up bringing.

Well go for it !!!!!

Never mind about political correctness................I think you've hit the nail on the head !! It is a well known fact that holiday makers leave their brains at the airport when they depart But I suppose I had hoped for a little more from the resident owners ( not all of them are mindless, I must add, before I start a war )

I don`t know about breeding..my Dad was a railwat signalman and my Mum was a telephonist and I was brought up in industrial Sheffield........................so my breeding was nothing to write home about................but I know what is right and wrong and what is fair and how to treat others, which is as you say.  So I find it a bit hard that others do not behave in the same way.................RESPECT.

Breeding is about the way you were brought up not about the standard of living you had, like you i'm from a humble background with honest hardworking parents that taught us what was wrong and right.

We could do with a few more residents like you on our community.

Hear hear! RESPECT is the keyword.

At the risk of being branded a bigot or a snob, and of starting a dangerous discussion, would you say it's not only breeding, but also possibly a question of culture? Maybe the two are closely related? Dare I ask, who are the worst offenders in your communities? Owners or tennants? Spanish or foreigners? I know of one community in a small coastal town east of Malaga which is predominantly German owned, and apparently everything runs like clockwork and nobody ever breaks the rules.

Hi   promedia    We used to live your area until about  4 years ago   and we had  community rules just like yours,  most of the time it was ok  but  sometimes all hell would break loose and all the rules were broken over a time scale of about 2-3 weeks, the main things were  , Playing football in garden area,   so many floating objets in the pool (and Children ) not very easy to see the water never mind a swim,  glass / bottles in pool area , rubbish left around , and late night noise, they were the worst problems , and if you said a word you would often get abuse back and told we are on holiday and here to enjoy ourselves , the worst offenders were sadly the Brits. I think trying to live full time on a community like this is not a good life style and can be hell at times and its hard to close your eyes to the things going on around you,   I wish i knew the solution and i dont think your the only one who has these problems with community life.      Regds Rosi n
