Respect for Others: All residents are expected to treat other residents with respect and consideration.

Anyone guilty of tampering with other peoples property will be required to leave Llechfan immediately.

Inspections: Spot checks will be made regularly and without prior notice by the warden and Llechfan group.

The Warden: The Warden's decision is final. The only redress available to aggrieved residents is to complain to the Llechfan Group or Managing Director (within one month of the incident complained about). The Llechfan Group will, if need be, implement the T. R. Co's disciplinary procedure.

Action will be taken against residents who fail to comply with these rules.
