Frequently Asked Questions
HOA Community FAQs
For Homeowners
How do I pay my monthly HOA dues?
Dues can be paid automatically or manually via your HOA owner portal. We support electronic checks (ACH), credit cards and traditional mail in paper checks sent directly to our secure lockbox.
How do I report a violation or a common area maintenance issue?
Use the HOA owner portal to submit a community maintenance ticket (e.g broken pool gate, landscaping issues) or to report a neighborhood CC&R covenant violation.
What is the process for making architectural changes to my home?
Before painting, landscaping, or altering your exterior, submit an Architectural application (ARC) through your HOA portal. Include sketches, materials and color swatches for the board’s review.
Where can I find the community governing documents, rules, meeting minutes, forms, and other HOA documentation?
All HOA documentation and governing documents are securely stored in the “document” tab of your HOA owner portal.
For Board Members
How do you help our board stay legally compliant?
Our managers regularly attend continuing education classes and legal symposiums on evolving state and local HOA laws. This ensures your meeting notices, voting protocols, and records retention are strictly aligned with current statutes.
What is your role during regular board meetings?
We handle the logistics: preparing meeting packets, distributing agendas, providing financial statements, advising on operational decisions, and taking meeting minutes.
How do you handle delinquent HOA accounts?
We follow your community’s specific, pre-approved collection policy. This includes sending late notices, restricting common area access (if applicable), and coordinating with your legal counsel for all collection activities, including liens and foreclosures.
How do you ensure we get fair pricing from contractors?
We draft precise scopes of work, solicit competitive bids from multiple vetted vendors, and present them to the board. We do not accept kick-backs or secret mark-ups, ensuring your funds are protected.
Residential Rental FAQs
For Tenants
How do I pay my rent and when is it due?
Rent in due on the first of every month and is considered late after the 5th. You can pay securely online via your Tenant Portal using ACH bank transfer, debit card, or credit card.
How do I submit a maintenance request?
Log in to your Tenant Portal, click “Submit Maintenance Request,” and upload a description and photos of the issue. For life-threatening emergencies or severe active leaks, call our 24/7 hotline immediately.
Can I get a pet, and what are the fees?
Pet policies vary by property based on the owner’s preferences and local HOA rules. You must submit a pet application and receive written approval before bringing any animal onto the property.
How do I get my security deposit back when I move out?
Your deposit is processed after move-out inspections are complete. A full refund or an itemized breakdown of any lawful deductions (like damage repairs beyond normal wear-and-tear) will be mailed to your forwarding address within the state-mandated timeframe.
For Owners
How do you determine the monthly rental price for my property?
We conduct a detailed comparative market analysis (CMA) evaluating recent rentals. Current active listings, neighborhood trends, and unique property upgrades to maximize your monthly yield.
What happens if a tenant damages the property?
We hold a secure security deposit from the tenant. Regular move-in and move-out Inspections with photographic documentation allow us to legally charge the tenant’s deposit for any damage exceeding normal wear-and-tear
How involved do I need to be in daily operations?
As much or as little as you want, our standard service is completely hands-off-we handle screening, rent collection, emergency repairs, and legal compliance, while sending you direct deposits and monthly financial summaries.
How do you handle tenant turn-over and lease renewals?
We contact tenants 60 to 90 days before lease expiration to negotiate renewals at updated market rates. If they opt to move, we instantly syndicate the listing to minimize vacancy gaps.
