Roles of the Board and Property Management Companies

Setting and Enforcing Community Policies If you own property in a condominium, townhome or newer single-family home community, your community is likely governed by a Homeowners Association, or HOA. Your HOA is governed by an elected Board of Directors, comprised of owners who have volunteered to serve your community.

Your HOA is responsible for your community’s operations and common areas, as well as for creating the CC&Rs (covenants, conditions and restrictions) – the comprehensive policies and rules you and your fellow homeowners must follow to maintain your community’s curb appeal, quality of life and property values.

Many HOAs hire a professional property management company to properly and effectively leverage their expertise to handle day-to-day operations, perform ongoing maintenance duties and communicate with residents. In addition, the property management company is responsible for executing on all Board decisions and ensuring that all homeowners comply with the CC&Rs and adhere to state condominium statutes.

Sometimes, however, homeowners confuse the roles and responsibilities of their HOA Board and their property management company, especially when it comes to community rule enforcement. Despite what many homeowners think, your property management company does not set any policies or rules pertaining to your community, nor does it determine the penalties for non-compliance. Rather, the management company’s responsibility is to enforce the community policies and regulations made by your Board of Directors on behalf of your HOA.

Property management companies’ partner with your board to optimize property values and ensure harmonious living environments for you and your neighbors. Working together, they can create a beautiful and thriving community you’ll be proud to call home.

Responsibilities of Owners and Residents Subject to the governing documents, each owner or resident typically has the responsibility to:

• Understand What They Own or Occupy. This includes condominiums and the difference between their unit andthe common property, and also planned communities and the HOA’s ownership of the common property.

• It is the Owners responsibility to know what you bought or are buying into, you must work with the seller and orrealtor to become informed. It is not the HOA’s “fault” that your seller or realtor does not provide all theinformation regarding the current state of your community.

• Pay Assessments and Other Proper Charges of the HOA. These obligations of the owner must be met on atimely basis for the HOA to operate effectively. Residents (that are not owners) are not responsible for thesecharges.

• Read and Comply with the Governing Documents of the Community.

o This includes the obligation to pay HOA assessments and proper charges of the HOA on time (seeabove). Owners should contact the HOA to discuss financial obligations and alternative paymentarrangements.

o Owners and residents must comply with restrictive and affirmative covenants in the declaration. This aids inmaintaining and enhancing property values, based on established standards.

o Owners and residents must also comply with the covenants, articles of incorporation, bylaws, rules,regulations, policies and procedures of the HOA.

o Owners and residents must ensure that those who reside on the owner’s property (e.g., tenants, relatives,and friends) adhere to applicable parts of the governing documents.

o Owners need to communicate and stay informed, by going to meetings, reading communications, visitingthe HOA website.

• Maintain Separate Liability Insurance and Casualty Insurance. Owners and residents must maintain (as to theirseparate property interests and ownership) their own liability insurance for accidents within theproperty. Owners should also maintain casualty (or hazard or property) insurance on property in or on theirLot/Unit which is not insured under a property insurance policy maintained by the HOA.

• Vote. Owners have the responsibility to vote in community elections and on other issues. Owners need tounderstand that once they elect a Board of Directors, the Board makes the decisions for the community, theOwners do no participate in day to day operations of the HOA.

• Property Maintenance. Owners and residents have the responsibility to understand who is required to maintaincomponents of the community, including their own property or the property they occupy.

• Duties and Responsibilities of the HOA, Board Members and Manager. Owners and residents shouldunderstand, at least generally, and when needed, specifically, the duties and responsibilities of the HOA, boardmembers and the manager. Owners and residents have the responsibility to know what the HOA and itsboard/officers/managing agent can do for them and cannot do. Too often, an HOA and its leaders areexpected to solve all problems and cover all unexpected losses. These expectations are typically broader thanthe HOA’s authority or required actions under the governing documents.

• Serve on the Board. All owners have a responsibility to run for and serve on the board, as representatives to theowners. Residents may be qualified to serve on the board. Check the bylaws. Board members serve theinterests of the entire community, known as a duty to manage, that requires good faith and the care ofordinary prudent person in a similar position. As a representative of private governance of the community, theboard and those elected to it seek to further the best interests of the community.

• Treat HOA Leaders Honestly and Respectfully. Just as owners and residents are to be treated honestly, fairlyand with respect by the HOA and its leaders, owners and residents are responsible for treating the HOA and itsleaders fairly with honesty and respect.

• Offer Comments and Recommendations to the Board, the HOA and Management. Owners and residentshave the responsibility to offer comments and recommendations to HOA leaders and management in a calmand businesslike manner. Issues will arise, but should not be personalized. Comments should be made withoutprofanity, personal attacks or shouting.

o Consider the best interests of the community before and when offering comments to the board, the HOA,and management.

o Offer comments which are relevant to the purpose of the HOA and/or management.

• Provide Current Contact Information. To allow the HOA to be able to communicate with an owner oroccupant, send notices of member meetings, newsletters, etc. to owners, current contact information isREQUIRED by owners to be supplied. This helps ensure receipt of information from the community.

• Avoid Interference with Contractors Engaged by the HOA. Owners and residents are not the persons who havecontracted with vendors of the HOA. The HOA has entered into those contracts, through the Board of Directorswho were elected by the “Owners”. Owners and residents have the responsibility to avoid interferencewith these contractors while a contract is in progress. All communications and complaints about acontractor’s work should go through the HOA manager, an HOA representative, or be in accordance withpolicy.

• Avoid Harassing and Threatening Others. Owners and residents have the responsibility to avoid harassing orthreatening others through any means to control or instill fear in any other owner or resident, board member,the manager or any agent of the HOA.
