Rental Procedures

Rental Procedure information has been updated on the Lakeside Club website.  If you are an owner who rents out a unit, please visit the website and read all information listed under the Rental tab.  You will need to login as this tab is located on the Owners Page.

                                                petoskeylsc.com              (password) LSC76Owners

 The LSC website has been updated to manage rental agreements.  Owners who rent out their units submit an Intent to Rent form with information about their own rental procedures.  When accepted by the Board of Directors, a letter is returned via email that includes a link to the LSC Rental Agreement that is completed and submitted online by prospective renters. 

Following submission of the online rental agreement, copies of the agreement are automatically emailed to the renter, the owner (or designee), and Lakeside Club.  The last page of the agreement is a parking pass that renters must print and display on dashboards of their vehicles (not more than two) during their stay.

Pool/Hot Tub Closing

Each year, the pool and hot tub need major maintenance work and Spring Cleaning.  The pool house will be closed starting April 8 and remain closed for approximately three weeks while tile work, painting, and other maintenance work is done.

Project Updates:

Rear Deck Supports and Deck Header Replacement – Building D (Unit 13-22):  Project is underway.

Web pages of the month: RENTAL menu Rental Procedures, Rental Amenities, and Owner Intent to Rent form

If you currently rent or plan to rent your unit, you must be familiar with the procedures described on the Rental Procedures page and the rules that your renters must follow.  For example, you need to know that a Rental Agreement must be submitted via the LSC website at least 7 days before your renters arrive, and that renters cannot bring pets, motorcycles, or certain other motorized vehicles and watercraft with them.
