§ 1 Introduction
Sørenga 3 Sameie constitutes a community where the owners/residents separately and together are responsible for contributing to maintaining a safe and comfortable living environment for all residents.
In these house rules, emphasis is placed on the well-being and freedom of the individual owner/resident while simultaneously ensuring consideration is exercised for all the building residents and premises. The purpose of the house rules is not to impose unnecessary obligations on owners/residents, but rather set the stage for a safe and comfortable environment for all residents and neighbors at Sørenga.
The house rules, together with our bylaws, are the governing documents for Sørenga 3 Sameie and each owner/resident is responsible for compliance with the provisions set out herein by all members of the household, as well as others being granted access to the accommodations.
