Question for Property Managers
I recently had a problem regarding a tenant of my rental condo who refused to pay the penalty fee for failing to obey one of the rules & regulation of the association, claiming he was never made aware that the infraction issue was a violation. Other than mentioning the issues at the time of lease signing, how can I best avoid such problems in the future?
Answer
Rental of housing that is governed by an association can be significantly affected by HOA rules and many landlords of such property are themselves unaware of some of the issues. It is even possible that an owner cannot rent a property within the community. It is important that owners and tenants obey the rules and regulations of an association. Failure to do so can result in fines and even in liens being filed against the property. In many states the property can even be foreclosed on if the owner fails to pay such assessments.
Therefore, it is important that prospective tenants be provided information about at least the most important issues covered by association by-laws and rules & regulations even prior to submitting an application because there might be issues that would discourage a prospect from completing an application. Finding out at lease signing that association issues are unacceptable to the tenant would be a waste of time and money for the applicant and the landlord and result in additional vacancy time for the unit.
Ideally, copies of the relevant documentation will be provided along with application forms and it is a good idea to include a statement on the application that the applicant is aware of the association bylaws and rules and regulations.
It is even better to include clauses regarding owner association issues within the lease agreement so that there can be no question that the tenant knew of the issues and agreed to abide by conditions.
