How do I handle a Home Owners Association (HOA) violation and who pays for it?
If the tenant causes a violation of the Rules of the Association, we request that the owner fax the violation to our office immediately. Once we receive the violation, we contact the tenant and send them a copy of the notice and a letter that explains what needs to be done to repair the violation. Depending on the violation, we will inspect the property to assure the violation is repaired. If a second violation occurs and the owner is fined by the HOA, then the tenant will be billed on their account for the violation. Note: The owner will pay the violation so a lien is not placed against the home by the HOA. If the tenant fails to reimburse the owner for the violation, then the fee will be deducted from the tenants security deposit at time of move-out.
