Kuester Management Group Highlights the Importance of Reviewing HOA Rules

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Dec. 22, 2023 - PRLog -- HOAs are constantly evolving. The people change, the needs change, and the world changes. It is important for associations to periodically review the rules they have in place to ensure they are still fair, enforceable, and appropriate. This can also help to identify potential gaps or areas where new rules should be implemented. Kuester Management Group has released a statement to the press regarding tips for managing HOA regulations.

"The new year is a perfect time to reflect on changes from the past year and look to the future," says Bryan Kuester, President of Kuester Management Group. "That includes deciding whether the HOA's current rules are still effective or whether they should be adjusted to maintain compliance and uphold the best interests of homeowners."

Check to see whether any new laws or policies were passed at the local, state, or federal level that impact how the HOA operates, says Kuester. These regulations take priority, and the board should make sure that its governing documents are in compliance and not outdated.

Evaluate the violations that have been issued and see if there are any trends. Are there certain rules that are consistently being broken? This can be a sign that the board should re-assess and consider if these rules are still reasonable or if expectations need to be clarified.

Gather feedback from homeowners as well. Find out if there are guidelines they feel are outdated, statements that are unclear, or issues that are being overlooked. If the community has made capital improvements, added new amenities, or made other changes, do the rules reflect that?

"HOA rules are not set in stone," says Kuester. "They should be updated and amended to fit with the needs and goals of the community. Just because something has always been done a certain way does not mean that is the only way or the best way."
