Question:
We recently found a post on facebook by a homeoner in our association who has listed and charging a 200 access fee the use of common areas within our community, The two areas are a river lot and a hunting preserve. Both of these properies are owned by the association and accessible as a common area to homeowners in good standing and their guests.
I cant seem to find anything in law that states that a homeowner cannot rent or charge a fee for common area property owned by an homeowners association.
The board does not charge a fee for the use of these properties as they are available to all our homeowners. We strongly belive this individual is breaking the law.
Thanks for your assistance in helping to answer this quuestion.

Answer:
Hi Paul,
It is best to address your situation by consulting your governing documents. If your CC&Rs and bylaws are silent on the issue, you may want to consider amending them to reflect your decision. Make sure to consult a lawyer when amending your documents to ensure no conflicts arise.
