RRV RULES
Rema Rainbow Valley (RRV) is managed and maintained by RRVRPOA and the Executive Committee (EC) of RRVRPOA has formulated the following rules to ensure that the environment of RRV may be enjoyed by all. The terms ‘plot holders / residents / members’ are used to designate individuals who have plots in RRV.
It is not the intention of the following set of rules to regiment the existence at RRV and the following rules will be interpreted and enforced with the maximum of flexibility and the EC will take into account at all times the views of the majority of the plot holders.
RULES & REGULATIONS
The primary objectives of the Association are to maintain the ‘physical environment’ of RRV at a level that makes it one of the finest around Bangalore, and the ‘social environment’ in a manner that is marked by goodwill, consideration, mutual co-operation and harmony among all residents.
In a community such as RRV, residents share many facilities and services. Action or inaction on the part of the one affects the others. Even if unintentional, these can sometimes cause an intrusion upon the convenience and comfort of other residents. A certain amount of adjustment in one’s lifestyle is therefore necessary in the overall interest. One cannot expect, nor have, total freedom of action when living as a member of such a community.
The basis for effective community living is a sense of fellow-feeling, mutual consideration and good neighbourliness.
