Whether you are a homeowner, real estate investor, or community association professional, this guide will help you provide a solid introduction to community association living to your tenants, prevent communication breakdowns that lead to problems and give tenants a stake in the community. Chapters include specific, hands-on steps for the board, the manager and the owner, as well as a section on short-term leasing. Model documents include sample amendments and resolutions, leasing agreements and addenda and a tenant information form.

KEY POINTS:

• Tenants are productive members of the community; treat them with respect and encourage their participation in the association.
• Communication among the owner, the manager, and the tenant is essential to success.
• Boards must consider Federal and state law when setting leasing policies.
• The Community Association manager can be a resource to owners and tenants.
• Rules must be reasonable and legal.
• Primary responsibility for successful leasing lies with the owner.
