Kuester Management Group Details Considerations When Creating HOA Rules

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Rezul -- One of the benefits of living in a neighborhood with a homeowners association (HOA) is that there are rules and regulations in place to help preserve property value. In addition, these policies also aid in creating a more enjoyable living environment.  Kuester Management Group has released a statement to the press regarding how HOAs can develop rules that support the community and its goals.

"The board is tasked with setting rules and restrictions that are in the best interest of members and enhance the overall value, aesthetics, and function of the association," says Bryan Kuester, President of Kuester Management Group. "Typically, this involves rules around noise, pets, parking, landscaping, architectural changes, and more. But the board cannot create new rules just because, and these policies must be fair and enforceable."

When considering a new rule, the board should ensure that it serves a clear purpose and addresses a problem, says Kuester. It can be a good idea to get homeowners involved and listen to their feedback about things that they want to see changed. Make sure that there is a logical rationale behind the rule so that members understand why it is important and what the intended impact is.

The board should verify that restrictions do not violate any existing local, state, or federal laws or contradict HOA rules that are already in place. If they do, the rule may not be enforceable and therefore serves no purpose. Rules should be written in a clear and concise manner, defining exactly what is expected and what the consequences are for violations. Do not leave room for interpretation or ambiguity.

"Make sure that everything is documented and effectively communicated to homeowners," says Kuester. "Give them adequate time to adjust and let them know when enforcement will begin. The board should be available to answer any questions and provide regular reminders regarding changes."
