Attention Sibley Forest Homeowners Leasing Their Homes
 
If you are leasing your home, you need to notify the HOA treasurer at treasurer@sibleyforest.net.
 
Our Sibley Forest covenants address the issue of leasing a home in Section 12, page 19-21. All Homeowners should read this before leasing. The complete covenants can be found here.  The bylaws are here, click here.
 
Particular points to address on lease/rental contract are:
 
1. All leases shall be in writing with Addendum C attached to the lease, CLICK HERE. It is imperative that each is signed by the lessee and Homeowner (lessor) and forwarded to the Homeowners Board of Directors at 629 Gunby Rd., Marietta, GA 30067. (note: Addendum C is found in the Covenants)
 
2. All leases must be for an initial term of at least six months.
 
3. All lots must be leased in their entirety.
 
4. The Homeowner must provide the lessee copies of the Declaration, Bylaws, and the rules and regulations, and the lease shall provide that the Owner has done so by attaching Addendum C.
 
5. The lease shall be deemed to contain the provisions outlined in Section 12 (a) (iii).
 
6. Within 10 days of entering the lease, the Homeowner shall provide the Board of Directors with the name and phone number of the lessee and the names of all other people occupying the Lot. The Owner’s address, other than the Lot, should also be provided. Failure to provide this information within 10 days from entering into the lease may result in a fine against the Homeowner for each day this information is not provided. The Homeowner is responsible for all fees and annual assessments owed to Sibley Forest.
 
As specified in Sibley Forest bylaws, membership and use of amenities passes to the person renting the home. Homeowners cannot use amenities once they have leased their home.
 
The Homeowner will be billed the annual assessment, and if the assessment is not received within 30 days of when it is due and payable, the lessee loses all privileges of common grounds and amenities.
