The Renting Party may be a Resident of Woodlake Community Association, Inc. and if so, must be current in the payment of Association assessments and membership dues during the Rental Period (and must also otherwise be a member in good standing). However, the WCA may, in the exercise of its sole, absolute discretion, allow rental by non-residents of the Woodlake Community. The Facility may not be rented by the same Renting Party for more than two (2) separate, consecutive Rental Periods.
