Attention Homeowners and Renters with Dogs

raintreevcc's avatar by

The Raintree Board of Directors has been dealing with multiple issues regarding several dogs in the community that need to be brought to the attention of everyone with dogs. There have been a few incidences where Ventura pet rules have been broken, creating dangerous and disruptive situations for residents with and without dogs.

Please remember:

1. Any dog MUST be on a leash, no matter the size.

2. All UNIT OWNERS are responsible for the actions of their dogs and/or their renter’s dogs.

3. Owners MUST pick up after their dogs. Not cleaning up after your pet is breaking the law. Bring a bag, pick-up the waste and dispose of it in the trash.

4. Owners must not allow their dogs to be unattended (or leave them unattended for extended periods of time) which often results in constant barking that is annoying to others.

All of the above is OUT OF CONTROL and the Raintree Board has had many, many complaints of all of these rules not being followed and are actively looking for how to implement fines for ignoring the rules (which can be done).

Thank you for your cooperation. These rules are in place to create a safe environment for all residents and their pets.

Do I need access to the portal to receive a copy of the wind mitigation report?

Yes. All homeowners receive access to the portal. It is important to use the portal, since this is where you can track correspondence with Vista Management, locate documents, and submit work orders/service requests. If you do not have access to the homeowner portal, you will need log-in credentials from Vista Management in order to access your account details. If you need access or have difficulty logging in, call Vista Management at 407-682-3443.

How do I know what building report to download?

To the find the report you need, you must first identify your building number. To find your condo unit’s building number, see the Raintree Phase Map. Using the map key, locate your unit number/street and this will give you the corresponding building number. The Wind Mitigation reports are organized by building number.

I cannot locate “Documents” in the homeowner portal. What do I look for?

When you log into the portal, the first page you will see is the dashboard. Select the icon for DOCS:

This will open the page for all documents available for Raintree. Find “Community Correspondence”. Select the arrow, and this will open up the folder for “Wind Mitigation Reports”. Select the arrow next to this folder, and this will open a drop-down menu showing all wind mitigation reports available for download. Find your building, select the report, and a PDF will open. You will be able to download and save the PDF to your device.

Please note: The Raintree Homeowner Portal is maintained by Vista Management. The portal is not associated with this Raintree website. Raintree has two locations for information on the web 1) the homeowner portal, which requires a log-in from Vista Management (homeowners only) and 2) this Raintree website which contains news, documents and other community information that anyone can access, no log-in required. Some documents can only be accessed through the portal for security reasons.
