CREATING NEW RULES
The board often has the authority to adopt new rules
or modify existing ones. If these rules significantly
alter the governing documents, a member vote may
be required. The following are five crucial questions
every board needs to ask before passing new rules,
regulations, and policies:
1. Does the community really need another rule?
2. Is the rule allowed by governing documents and
current laws?
3. Is the new rule clear, and can residents easily
follow it?
4. Is the rule objectively fair and reasonable?
5. Will the board and management team be able to
enforce the rule easily?
