Description

Rules and regulations are important tools for protecting condominium, townhouse or homeowner's associations. If properly enacted and enforced, they will enhance property values and create a pleasant living environment in the association. If rules and regulations are not adopted and enforced properly, they can create bitter divisions within the association and cost the association money in legal fees. If there is a standard that governs adoption and enforcement of rules and regulations, it is that rules and regulations, and their enforcement, must be fair, reasonable, and equitable. Any deviation from this standard will create legal problems. It must be remembered that when enforcing rules the Association bears the burden of establishing their reasonableness. This form is a generic example that may be referred to when preparing such a form for your particular state. It is for illustrative purposes only. Local laws should be consulted to determine any specific requirements for such a form in a particular jurisdiction.
