Eliminate Problems Caused by Certain Tenants

Many homeowner associations are experiencing problems with certain tenants because the tenants are violating the association’s Operating Rules and/or CC&Rs. Violations affect the association, its members, including the landlord. Many violations by tenants result in fines being charged to the account of owners, but these fines don’t always eliminate the problems commonly caused by these renters.

If you rent your unit, it is important that you do the following: 1) Make certain your lease includes a provision making the tenants responsible for complying with the association’s Operating Rules and CC&Rs, 2) Attaching the Operating Rules and CC&Rs to any tenant lease so the tenants have actual knowledge of their obligations, 3) Checking with the landlord of any rental applicant to determine whether the applicant has previously caused any problems or has not paid their rent. This should not be the applicant’s current landlord. It should be the prior landlord, and 4) Strongly consider hiring a professional rental home management company.

While Coast Management of California does not offer rental home management services, we do have an affiliate that offers this service for a fixed fee of $150 per month. If you have a need, you may contact Pacific-Realtors.net for information.
