Statutes

1. The name of the association is Haveforeningen Mosvig. The association is domiciled in Kolding Municipality and comprises 59 garden plots, of which 1 is a communal garden.
2. The association was founded in 1981, when the allotment area was established by Kolding Municipality and Haveforeningen Mosvig.

1. The purpose of the association is to administer and manage the leased area on cadastral nos. 888f, 7000 ca and 7000 o, Kolding Markjorder 3rd division, for allotment garden purposes in accordance with the land lease agreement concluded with Kolding Municipality, and for the area as a whole.
2. Through its board, the association must ensure, among other things, that the provisions of any town plan, local plan or similar for the area and for the individual gardens are observed and respected by the association’s members.
3. The board assists with transfers of leases, provides members with guidance on layout, cultivation, and the appearance and placement of buildings, and supports and takes part in activities that promote common interests.

1. The person or persons who have signed a lease are considered members of the association. A member has the right to speak and vote at the general assembly once the rent has been paid.

1. Persons of legal age who at the same time lease a garden when the membership begins may be admitted as members and co-tenants.
2. The member must at all times be able to document access to a residence outside the garden association.
3. Membership and the right of tenancy are personal, and the garden may therefore under no circumstances be sublet. The member is responsible for guests and their conduct in the garden association. If guests are repeatedly found on a member’s plot while the member is not present, the board is entitled to expel them from the plot. If a member does not comply with the rules on lending, the lease may be terminated after notice pursuant to § 7.5.
4. The member has the right to have a co-tenant added to an existing lease together with the member in the case of a spouse/registered partner or a cohabiting partner (of more than 2 years). Transfer by inheritance is, however, exempt from the waiting list, cf. point 7 of the lease.
5. The member is not entitled to transfer the lease to anyone other than those mentioned above if the association has a waiting list. The member is obliged to inform the board and agree on the process for any sale.
6. Transfers may only take place through the board. When a lease is endorsed, the fee applicable at any time must be paid. The fee is set annually by the general assembly.

1. No one may lease a garden plot on the area mentioned in § 1 without at the same time enrolling in the garden association. On enrolment a fee is paid, which goes towards the association’s operations. The fee is set annually by the general assembly. Keys and key fobs for the communal garden with waste collection, disposal point and toilet building, as well as water keys, are handed over — or the cost of replacements in case of loss is covered by the seller.
2. Surplus membership fee, shared insurance etc. are transferred to the new tenant and may be included in the transfer price.
3. Transfers of gardens may only take place through the board. On enrolment, a lease approved by Kolding Municipality is used.
4. The board assists the transaction between buyer and seller. The board furthermore acts as seller on behalf of the association if the association takes over a plot in the event of eviction or written-off lease obligations.
5. Before a plot is transferred to a new tenant, the previous tenant must carry out fire protection of any part of the existing buildings closer than 1.5 metres to neighbouring plots, roads, paths and parking areas, or closer than 2.5 metres to the outer boundary of the area.
6. Members are as a general rule admitted from the waiting list. The waiting list must be publicly available. The general assembly sets a cost-based annual fee for joining the waiting list.
7. The gardens may only be leased to persons residing in Kolding Municipality. Persons without a garden attached to their home have priority.
8. A member may only lease one garden plot within the association’s area. Only one garden may be leased per registered home address.

   • Share of water consumption and waste collection, settled jointly on account.
   • Ground rent to Kolding Municipality, set by Kolding Municipality after negotiation with the association’s board.
2. Savings pools are set annually by the general assembly: savings for the renovation of water pipes and secondary meters.

4. The member has the right to choose another insurance provider. It is, however, a requirement that the policy and proof of payment are presented once a year, no later than 1 March. Failure to comply results in notice pursuant to § 7.5.

1. Garden rent, insurance, charges etc. that are not paid or presented by the set deadline incur a fee, which is set by the general assembly.
2. If payment has not been made within 10 days of the set deadline, the member will be charged a fee and issued a new demand with 10 days’ notice. Thereafter a further fee is charged, and the member will be informed, by letter delivered to the address, that the amount owed must be paid within 14 days. Failing this, the lease will be terminated without further notice.
