Except as otherwise provided to the contrary in this Declaration, each Lot and Dwelling shall be used for single-family residential purposes only and no trade or business of any kind may be carried on in or from any Lot or Dwelling.
The use of any portion of a Dwelling as an office by an Owner shall not be considered a violation of this covenant if such use does not create regular customer, client or employee traffic.
All provisions of the declaration, by-laws, and any rules and regulations, use restrictions or design guidelines promulgated pursuant thereto that govern the conduct of owners and which provide for sanction against owners shall also apply to all occupants even though occupants are not specifically mentioned.
Fines may be levied against owners, occupants or tenants. If a fine is first levied and is not paid timely, the fine may then be levied against the owner.

All valid occupants/tenants shall be treated as acting on behalf of the owner, and any covenants broken by an occupant/tenant shall be considered broken by an owner.
As such, any violations/remedies resulting from occupants/tenants shall be passed directly to the owner and the owner’s property.
