10 ENFORCEMENT
STRATEGIES THAT
ACTUALLY WORK
Our community management experts across North America offer practical
advice that you can put into action now to uphold the governing documents
and manage violations more effectively.
1. Set rules and regulations for the community.
"If your community has not done so already, make sure you establish a
set of rules and regulations. This is done by the board of directors, and
it's always a good idea to have the final version reviewed by an attorney to
ensure nothing conflicts with the governing documents. These rules will
help establish the community standards regarding covenants."

2. Clearly communicate relevant information.
"Make sure homeowners are notified of the rules. If there is a fine policy,
post it on the community's website. If you're sending a violation letter,
make sure the expectation for resolving the violation and consequences for
failing to do so are clearly stated."
