Good idea Tony. And that thought births a better one. Put $100 Bill slots at entrance to complex and require $100 be deposited with a confirmation code that will give them key to their rental unit for the week. The association can use the money and deserve it for supplying the amenities. Maybe $100 is a little low, make that $150 each rental from 1 to seven days, $200 for up to a monthe and $300/month anything over a month. Not all that unusual.
I will be out of town for a while...........just kidding. |

Seriously, I think that if the HOA is supplying gas grills for the benefit of rental units, then the grills should be paid for by said rental units. This could be done simply by putting a surcharge on the rentals. Heck, if you word it correctly, the surcharge need not be included in the advertised price. Ever notice a "regulatory cost recovery fee?" That isn't a tax. It is an add on fee to cover some cost without putting it into the price.
Perhaps you could have a "LP Gas Recovery Fee." |

Kirk,
Thanks for the input, makes perfect sense until you have to look at reality. Maybe I wasn't clear on this, I thought I was. First let me say, I thnik we will gradually work our way around all this here and maybe some fall out will proof helpful for the future. This is an on going problem for a lot of condos and the HOA'S are not immune either. Economic drives most people and especially now. It seems attractive to buy a condo, rent it out to pay your mortgage and flip it when prices increase. This opens many doors as I am sure you are aware. But the fall out effect is the more rentals you have the more likely your Board will be influenced by owners that rent, or the Board will be composed of mostly owners that rent. Add time and entrenchment of board and apathy of owners and you don't have a healthy condition. Some of us are working on change and our agenda has to be the health of the whole, not the desires of the majority or the minority. Any other mandate and you start down another slippery slope. You can see the problems, and this is being repeated all over this country, not just in California, Florida and Nevada. This simple fact may rip the HOA's asunder. I believe it. There will have to be either laws controlling rental interests or we can not maintain a viable association in a lot of areas and specific instances.
The ol BBQ gas grill is a problem because the rental demands caused it and it happens over time and if you want to change it, you have to convince the total memberhip that the association is more important than rent money. |
