Rules and Regulations for Lessees
in the Kachess Community

The Kachess CC&Rs Article IV Section 2 state that "all lots, designated single family, shall be used exclusively for private single family residence consisting of single residential dwellings and such outbuildings (garage, patio structure) as are consistent with a permanent or recreational residence." Kachess owners have expressed the desire to lease their residence on long term leases. The Board of Directors has put together an agreement, to assist the property owner in protecting their interest.

Commercial operations in the Kachess Community are against the CC&Rs and in violation of the Kittitas County Zoning ordinance. Commercial operations can be described as a property either owned by a corporation, limited partnership, or single owner that is advertised on a commercial Web Site, Bulletin Board, magazine or publication that encourages and allows short term rentals such as overnight, weekend, one week, or anything less than a normal lease period of six months or longer. Thus, only long term lease agreements are allowed in the Kachess Community (and the Kittitas County Zoning ordinance).

The purpose of the attached agreement is to insure that lessees of property in the Kachess Community understand the rules and regulations for which the property owner is held accountable.

If an owner wishes to enter into a lease agreement, they should have the lessee sign the attached agreement and return a copy, along with a copy of the lease agreement, to the President of the Board of Directors.
