Some Rules for Developing and Enforcing Rules
Rules development and enforcement are critically important areas for condominiums, homeowner associations and housing cooperatives. In developing and enforcing rules the board must be diligent, careful and resolute, but must keep things in perspective. If an association's rules are not respected by the residents, or if rule enforcement is poorly handled, the result will be a decline in respect for the association, which can translate into greater dissension in the community, increased numbers of rule violations, and increased delinquent assessments.
