How does HOALife automate the communication of violation notices?

Notice requirements

HOALife streamlines violation communications. Governing documents and state statutes usually require boards to send a written notice before imposing fines. The notice should describe the violation, cite the relevant rule, and offer a cure period. Some CC&Rs allow immediate fines for safety risks or repeat offenses, but documentation is still crucial.

When immediate fines apply

Safety issues, such as blocked emergency access, and repeated violations after prior notices may warrant immediate penalties. Even then, boards should document the circumstances and explain the rationale to homeowners.

Homeowner recourse

If a fine is issued without notice, homeowners can review governing documents and request a hearing. HOALife’s platform keeps records that support fair appeals processes.
