The condominium documents and Maryland Condominium Act provide for the irrevocable right of access of the association to a unit in the following circumstances:

  • For the purpose of making repairs to or maintaining the common elements;
  • To preserve the safety, health, convenience and enjoyment of the Unit Owners.

The association will make a reasonable effort to give notice to the owner/resident of any unit before entering the unit for repair.

If there is damage to a common element or the individual unit during such access, the Association is responsible for prompt repair.

The entry described above is not considered a trespass.

For the purpose of the above, all owners provide the association or its duly appointed agent with a key to the exterior unit door locks. For more information regarding unit keys and access to units, contact the office at office@rcgardens.com.

If you wish to change the exterior door lock to your unit, please contact the manager in advance and provide an extra key to management.

Management also recommends that the owners provide the manager with a copy of any keys or security codes to security systems. When an alarm goes off in your absence it may be more convenient for you to authorize management to shut the alarm off (after police have responded) rather than driving home to do it yourself.
