Once the property is rented, typically the landlord is the first point of contact and the person held responsible for violations and payments of fines. Landlords within an HOA are responsible for ensuring that their tenant play by the association rules so it is important to quickly relay any information to your tenant so that they can remedy any issues and reimburse the landlord any fines. Additionally, when the information is quickly relayed to the tenant the tenant has the right to challenge or dispute violations and fines. The best way to prevent rule violations and fines is to provide the tenant with a copy of the CC&R's. Since it is not always easy to deal with tenants that violate the HOA rules and regulations it is important to be sure your lease has a clause requiring compliance with all association rules and regulations.
