Written HOA Warnings: A Method to Avoid Litigation, Says HOA Expert Jack Hanson

ORLANDO, Fla., June 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Non-compliance may land you in the courtroom and can leave you with heavy legal costs. Most homeowners in deed-restricted communities comply with HOA rules, but there are some who still choose to ignore them. Thus HOA boards use written documentation as a way to enforce compliance. If homeowner's non-compliance continues these documents can be used in court against you. Hanson warns homeowners to avoid litigation, homeowners should respond to the notices as directed to resolve the matter from escalating.

HOA management companies are a group used by many deed-restricted communities to ensure deed compliance. Homeowners must respond within the timeline indicated otherwise the management company will then turn to the courts for relief to enforce compliance.  But, management companies and HOA boards much prefer amicable resolution to the complaint. HOA Management companies/boards who incur litigation costs by violators can create additional fees passed down to all the homeowners in the community.

Homeowners remember...your HOA board/management companies has one over- riding goal, which is to ensure the value of your single largest asset. Your home.
