Who to call

• Unit problems (appliances, leaks inside, lease matters): IPM / Kenneth Richards, 775-298-7961 — the landlord’s property manager, and also the association’s registered agent
• HOA / building / common area (snow removal, exterior, trash enclosures, fines, CC&Rs, documents): Canopy Property Services (fka Integrity Property Management), 896 Southwood Blvd Ste 5, 775-831-3331, canopyps.com — the HOA’s manager
• Rules & Regulations (2004) — PDF; CC&Rs not yet in hand — request from Canopy

Structure oddity (from county records)

The common-area parcel (130-390-09) is still titled to Sierra Bouquet II — the 1990s developer entity (Clark/Zahler, who built several Incline projects as “Sierra Bouquet I–VII”), not the HOA. Its assessor mailing address (880 Northwood #1) is decades-stale (now a gym/PT office). Practical effect for us as renters: none. For an owner it’d be a title curiosity worth understanding.

Starlink / exterior antenna (⏳ for our internet)

HOA Rule 4 (Exterior Appearance) requires Board consent before any exterior antenna/satellite dish/etc.; Rule 6 requires prior written Board approval for exterior alterations. A Starlink dish is squarely covered.

BUT the FCC OTARD rule (47 CFR §1.4000) overrides HOA bans on dishes ≤1m (Starlink qualifies) — an HOA can’t prohibit, unreasonably delay, or add cost — when installed in an area under your exclusive use/control (your own deck/balcony/patio per the lease). OTARD does not cover common roof/walls/common areas.

Practical play as renters:

• Mount in our exclusive-use space (private deck/patio) with clear northern sky → OTARD likely protects us; can’t drill common structure.
• If it needs common roof/wall → need both Board consent (Rule 4) and owner/IPM permission (their building).
• Low-friction: email Kenneth (IPM) + the Board (Erik Fair, President, is next door at 316) describing the mount location, framed as exclusive-use + OTARD. Usually a fast yes.
• Siting note: tall pines around Ski Way Villas can block Starlink’s north-sky view — the OTARD-safe deck spot may need scouting for line-of-sight.
