MONTE VISTA CONDOMINIUM OWNERS ASSOCIATION MOVE IN/OUT POLICY
MOVE IN/OUT PROCEDURES FOR PODIUM UNITS
This document applies to all move-ins and move-outs in the podium units.
Unit owners are responsible for ensuring tenants/renters comply with all the terms.
Move-In/Move-Out will be considered if it fulfills all the following criteria:
Holding of the elevator to load or unload furniture and/or boxes
The use of hand trucks or dollies.
Loading or unloading from a truck.
An individual may move boxes or small furniture if they do not fit the criteria above. An individual can have small items delivered without following the Association’s Move-In/Out policy. Large items that may damage the walls of the elevator can be delivered if wall pads for the elevator are used (provided by the Association or the resident) or the delivery company provides the pads as described in the Community Handbook, Large Item Deliveries, page 27.
If damage occurs during the Move-In/Move Out costs will appear as assessments on your monthly Association statement. Failure to pay the damage costs may result in denial of access to utility rooms or other common property governed by the Association.
In order to ensure orderly moving of property and availability of the elevators to all podium residents, the Association has established these Move-In/Out Procedures. All moves must be scheduled and approved in advance. All move-ins and move-outs will be scheduled by Community Management Services or CMS (the association management company).
Failure to comply with these Move-In/Out Procedures or fail to pay Move-In/Out Fees, may result in the HOA not allowing access to facilities for Residents. This may include, but not limited to, access to TV closets for TV hook-ups and internet connections, access to communication closets to hook-up landline telephone or to establish call number at entrance intercoms, combinations to storage units, and anything else that HOA has the right and responsibility to control access to and protect its property.

To ensure proper scheduling and availability of the elevator designated for your move, please contact the property management at your earliest opportunity to reserve a time(s) for your move-in or move- out. The contact information for the property management company is 408-559-1977. At that time, you should review any questions that you might have regarding these moving procedures.
At the time you schedule your move, you must submit the following:
Review and sign the Move-In/Out Agreement stating that you understand that move-in/move-out procedures. All documents and fees must have been submitted one (1) week prior to your move.

MANAGEMENT SERVICES WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ADDITIONAL CHARGES BY YOUR MOVING COMPANY. THE MOVING FEE IS NON-REFUNDABLE, SO PLAN ACCORDINGLY.
PARKING
If you are using a professional moving company, be sure to inform them that the parking area best suited to large trucks is at the end of Font Terrace near the VTA tracks.
Small trucks may be parked at the smaller parking areas (Sunol, Gaspar Vista) provided they do not create a traffic or pedestrian hazard or block access to the garbage/recycling pickup area. The Moving Coordinator may ask for the truck to be moved at their discretion. You will NOT be able to park in the parking garage because the overhead clearance is insufficient.
ALL MOVERS MUST USE YOUR ASSIGNED ELEVATOR LOCATED INSIDE THE PARKING GARAGE. YOU WILL BE ASSIGNED AN ELEVATOR WHEN YOU ARE ASSIGNED A MOVING TIME.
YOU SHOULD NOTIFY YOUR MOVERS THAT, DUE TO THE LAYOUT OF THE BUILDING, THEY MAY HAVE TO MOVE ITEMS MULTIPLE HUNDREDS OF FEET THROUGH HALLWAYS. MONTE VISTA CONDOMINIUM OWNERS ASSOCIATION AND COMMUNITY MANAGEMENT SERVICES WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ADDITIONAL CHARGES BY THE MOVING COMPANY.
YOUR MOVING COMPANY
Please choose your moving company carefully! You, as the Unit Owner, are fully responsible for any damages done to the Common Area during the move in or move out. This includes your liability on behalf of your tenant if your Unit is rented. Because of this liability, it is important that the moving company carry its own insurance for such damages. The moving company you select must sign the agreement on page 7 and supply the Association with a current Certification of liability insurance for a minimum of $1,000,000 before the move may start.
Owners who wish to move in without using a professional moving company may do so providing they meet all the requirements of the moving companies, i.e., scheduling the elevator at least seven (7) business days in advance of the move and accompanying the Moving Coordinator on a walk-through before and after the move.
MOVING PROCEDURE
THE ASSOCIATION WILL PROVIDE PROTECTIVE COVERING FOR THE ELEVATOR CAB WALLS DURING THE MOVING PROCESS. IT IS THE MOVER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT THESE ARE IN PLACE PRIOR TO BEGINNING THE MOVE.
NO MOVES WILL BE PERMITTED IF THE PROTECTIVE COVERINGS ARE NOT FULLY IN PLACE.
When your move is completed, the pathway from the building point of entry to your Unit will be photographed to determine if any new damage is found.
THE OWNER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL COSTS FOR REPAIRS OR CLEANING NECESSITATED BY THE MOVE.
SUGGESTIONS FOR MOVING PREPARATION
1. MAKE A PLAN
You will save time and money if you plan the location of your furniture in your new home before the moving company delivers it.
2. BE SURE YOU KNOW
A. Your Unit number
B. The day and time block you are assigned for the move (verify this with your moving company).
C. The size of the designated elevator and hallways. THE FINISH ON THE ELEVATOR AND HALLWAY IS EASILY DAMAGED AND EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. Measure your large items to be sure they fit though the standard door opening, elevator and tight corners in the halls.
D. The weight capacity of the elevator you are using. (check the posted signage inside the elevator.) Keep in mind that this includes the weight of the elevator operator.
If you have a piece of furniture that exceeds the dimension or capacity of the elevator, the stairs must be used.
AFTER YOUR MOVE
BOXES AND PACKING MATERIALS
At the end of the move (or after each day, if the move takes longer than one day), the hallways and elevator must be cleared of all debris. PACKING MATERIALS AND CONTAINERS MUST NOT BE LEFT OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR. ALL CARTONS MUST BE FLATTENED AND TAKEN OFF THE PROPERTY. NO BOXES MAY BE THROWN IN THE DUMPSTERS; THEY MUST BE REMOVED. IF YOUR MOVING COMPANY DOES NOT REMOVE THEM, YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REMOVING THEM FROM THE PROPERTY. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MAY CARDBOARD BOXES OF ANY SIZE OR PACKING MATERIAL OF ANY TYPE BE PUT DOWN THE TRASH CHUTE OR PLACED IN THE DUMPSTERS.
Any Owner who disregards this regulation by leaving packing materials and boxes in the hallways, dumpsters, or jamming the trash chute will be summoned to a hearing and subject to the enforcement policy.
FUTURE MOVES
In the event that you find it necessary to move out, you must make an elevator reservation, pay the moving service fee, and file the same agreement with the Association prior to your move. A walk- through will be conducted with you and the moving coordinator, before and after the move. The cost of any damages, repair, cleaning, losses or other liabilities to the Common Area as a result of the move will be the responsibility of the Owner.

When the move is completed, the walk-through inspection will be repeated, and any new damage will be noted at that time and acknowledged by the signature of the moving company supervisor and the Moving Coordinator. Refusal of the Moving Company to sign the walk- through inspection does not relieve the Moving Company or Unit Owner of responsibility for any damage incurred.
9. Should a moving vendor disregard any of the above policies, his moving company will not be allowed future access to the building.
10. Failure to abide by this policy will result in a fine and any further recourse the Board feels is necessary.

Garbage & Giveaways
I want to...
...throw away trash
§ Bag it! Do not throw loose trash--especially food items--down the trash chute. Debris sticks to the walls of the chutes and causes an odor. Decaying food matter creates a potential biohazard and will attract flies. Any food containers being recycled should be free of food residue. Food left on recycled items creates a biohazard and defeat the purpose of recycling.
§ Size it! Make sure anything dropped down the chute is small enough to fit, and if it doesn't bring it down to the trash room (if it's oversized, please see "Bulk Items")
§ Report it! If the chute is clogged, notify Customer Service at Community management Services. Do not keep stuffing things down a clogged chute.
§ Cleaning crews do not pick up items left in trash rooms. Take anything too big to drop down the chute directly to the trash chute room.
...get rid of bulky items
§ DO NOT leave oversized items (like mattresses) in the recycling bins or trash aeas. The San Jose-contracted recycling and garbage collecting companies will NOT pick up big items. You will be charged for dumping items based on the bill Green Team provides us with.
§ INSTEAD use one of these great options:
§ San Jose 311 has large item pickup services
§ Wait for one of our Quarterly Dumpster Days (October, January, April, July)
...get rid of eWaste
§ Green Mouse Recycling 529 Race St & Parkmoor take all e-waste FREE! Convenient drive-up. 408.464.9999 They are open Mon-Fri, 8-5, and Saturday, 8-3
§ You can also wait until the next quarterly Dumpster day which includes an eWaste dumpster
...get rid of my old CFLs
§ Please do not throw any CFLs or fluorescent tubes down the chute, those lightbulbs contain mercury and are a safety hazard. Please drop them off at the ACE Hardware on The Alameda.
§ https://www.sanjoseca.gov/Home/ShowDocument?id=16
...donate stuff
§
§ Salvation Army, on Stockton and Taylor
§ Goodwill is on West San Carlos
§ The Thrift Box in Willow Glenn is a 100% volunteer organization that is volunteer run and benefits the Stanford Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital supporting children whose insurance does not cover the cost of care. Volunteers are very organized, and that low-income customers are treated like VIPs in Nordstrom style. Donate: clothes, small household items, fiction books, etc. but nothing very large. See http://www.thriftbox.org/Donations.html
§ Donating Books we have a Little Free Library in the Shed area
§ Good Karma Bikes at 345 Sunol (very close) will take used bikes or parts of bikes. It is a volunteer organization that repairs bikes for low income kids and adults. http://www.goodkarmabikes.org
§ Habitat for Humanity RESTORE is a great place to donate or purchase building materials, hardware, lighting fixtures, appliances, etc. Check here first before heading to Home Depot or Lowes: lot of new stuff, way cheap prices, and your dollars and donations support Habitat for Humanity. Store is staffed by volunteers and items are clean and labeled.
...give stuff to anyone who wants it in the P51 community
§ If you want to make it available to other residents to take, make a sign saying “free to good home” and leave the item in front of your unit AND send a message about the free item to the Monte Vista Facebook Group. If the item is not “claimed” within a reasonable period (one week or so), donate it to a local charity. Do not leave items for long durations in front of your door, or you will be issued a violation and potentially fined.
For Condominium residents they are located next to each of the three elevators.
For Townhome residents, they are located:
- At the East end of Gaspar Vista
- At the North end of Font Terrace
- At the North end of Bautista
Neighbor Etiquette
Hallways - Owners are responsible for cleanup (or costs thereof) of any accidents (drinks or animals) in the hallways.
Residents are required to take their own trash and recycling to the trash/recycle rooms on their floors and deposit items in the appropriate chute. (Our cleaning crew does not remove trash/recycling from the trash/recycling rooms on residential floors
Public Areas - Please observe quiet hours after 10 p.m.
BBQ - Clean off the barbecue after use using tools located in cabinets under the grill and sink.
Clean up table areas, ensuring they are completely free of food debris and trash.
Smoking - Smoking is strictly prohibited in all public spaces - indoors or outdoors.
Smokers may only smoke in their own units.
If smoking on your balcony or lounge, be aware of the direction of prevailing winds (you could be keeping smoke out of your own unit, but it could be going directly into someone else's).
Neighbor Issue Resolution
Effective communication hinges on both expressing your feelings and understanding those of your neighbor. If these direct communication attempts don't lead to a resolution, you can bring the issue to the attention of the Property Management company. When you contact them, provide as many specifics as you can. Information like the unit number of the neighbor causing concern and any relevant dates or other details will be particularly useful. It's important to remember that, where necessary, residents can be held accountable for CC&R violations through hearings and potential fines.
We all share this living space, and working together in a positive, professional manner can greatly improve the quality of our community life.
If the issue revolves around...
Noise: A dog barking 24/7 or disruptive noise (even within someone's own home) that impacts neighbors, fall under the "nuisance" category of the CC&Rs. We all enjoy the peace and quiet of Plant 51 and want to maintain it. Sometimes folks might not realize just how noisy they are, and a simple conversation might resolve things. If it doesn't, reach out to the Property Management team.
Pets: If you notice pet owners letting their furry friends roam off-leash, they're not just breaching the CC&Rs but also the City of San Jose ordinances. If this becomes an ongoing issue, feel free to contact our Property Management team.
Mess: Spot any clutter in the hallway like packing boxes or trash? Not only is it an eyesore, but it also violates fire codes. If your neighbors continue to leave items in the hallway, let the Property Management team know. Likewise, if you see a lack of cleanliness in public spaces, such as improper trash disposal or neglect in cleaning up spills or pet accidents on carpeting, don't hesitate to report it.alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.
Pets
Each Owner may also keep a reasonable number of small caged animals, birds, or fish. Unless the Operating Rules increase the number of type of animals which may be kept, no other animals or pets are permitted in the Project. The Board shall have the right to prohibit the keeping of any pet which, after Notice and Hearing, is found to be a nuisance to other Owners. No animals may be kept for commercial purposes.
No dog shall be allowed in the Common Area unless it is under the control of a responsible person by leash.
Each Owner or Invitee must clean up after its pet so that the Common Area is in the same condition it was in immediately preceding its use by any pet permitted on the Common Area by the Owner or Invitee.
No pets are allowed under any circumstance where there are signs prohibiting their presence, if a pet needs to go to the bathroom they are not, under any circumstances to use the areas with signs prohibiting them.
Bike Storage
There are bicycle racks throughout the garage that facilitate locking your bicycle. Unfortunately, that does not guarantee it's safety.
Please take the necessary precautions to ensure your bicycle is not stolen or taken apart.
