Landlords

Important Information for Landlords

If you are an owner who leases your home, your homeowners association would like to make the leasing experience successful and positive for everyone by informing you of your responsibilities. This will help preserve your property value specifically and maintain the HOA’s property value in general.
Your tenants may not be familiar with common-interest community living. Please take a few minutes to explain to them that living in a community association is very different from living in a rental apartment community.

Your tenants, like all residents, are subject to the rules and regulations of the HOA, and it’s up to you to educate them and see they comply. The association will assist you in this area as best possible, but the responsibility lies with you. It is recommended that you provide your tenants with written copies of all HOA policies and rules, and advise them on the proper use of the association’s facilities. You can obtain copies of these and other useful documents from our community website.

As a landlord of a home in a HOA community, the lease you use must require tenants to comply with the HOA’s governing documents. In the event your tenant fails to comply with these documents, including the bylaws, or its rules and regulations, the HOA will first contact you and expect you to remedy the violation using the recourse available to you through your lease agreement. If you are unable to correct the violation, the HOA may pursue appropriate legal action against the tenant and possibly against you in an attempt to remedy the problem.

The HOA asks that you provide the Secretary with the names and contact information of your tenants. This way, the association can add your tenants to its emailing list, and they will receive the newsletter, invitations to participate on committees, notices of social activities and general association-related information. This information will also be used in case of emergency.

Follow these simple steps and you, the tenants and the HOA will all have a positive community association living experience:

• Provide your tenants with copies of association rules, the HOA email and website.

• Educate tenants about the need to follow association rules, and see that they comply.

• Advise tenants on the proper use of association facilities.

• Use a written lease agreement.

• Make sure your lease requires tenants to comply with all association governing documents.

• Provide the association with contact information including their email address for your tenants.
