At Bahia Property Management, we want your experience as a tenant to be smooth, comfortable, and free of unnecessary issues. An important part of this is knowing how to properly interact with the HOA (Homeowners Association) in the community where you live.
Although your lease agreement is with us or the property owner, the HOA has its own rules and procedures that all residents—owners and tenants—must follow. Their role is to manage and oversee the common areas, the appearance of the community, and compliance with certain rules, with the goal of maintaining property values and ensuring an orderly environment. This may include parking regulations, use of common areas, exterior decoration restrictions, and trash or recycling schedules.
When you start your lease, you will receive a copy or a link to the HOA rules. It’s important to read them carefully and keep them for reference to avoid fines or warnings.
If the HOA requests any documents, permissions, or has a complaint, do not respond on your own without notifying us. As your property management company, we are here to represent you and make sure everything is handled properly. For example, if you receive a parking warning letter, send us a copy immediately.
HOAs usually have short deadlines to resolve requests or respond to notifications, so it is essential to send us the information as soon as possible. This will allow us to help you resolve any matter without penalties.
Following the rules not only avoids fines but also contributes to a pleasant environment for everyone. Remember that as a tenant, your behavior also affects the owner’s relationship with the HOA.
In summary, know the rules, channel communication through Bahia, respond quickly to any requests, and maintain a respectful and cooperative attitude. At Bahia Property Management, we are here to support you and ensure your stay is positive and free of HOA issues.
