Residents can help themselves and the neighborhood save money on fees and dues by following some simple suggestions.
-
Recycling Ordinances – Some communities have restrictions on the disposal of recyclable materials. Always making sure that newspaper is put in the designated location wrapped in bundles or in paper sacks can help to avoid any possible fees for non-compliance. Eliminating fees lowers operating costs.
-
Follow the Rules – Insurance rates and property values are assessed by what is observed in a neighborhood. Following the rules helps to maintain better values and lower costs for all residents.
-
Protect the Property – Be mindful of the community’s property and be sure to safely extinguish cigarettes, avoid soiling carpets and use charcoal or gas grills safely.
-
Landscaping Costs Money – If residents are being active in protecting the landscaping, your association will not have to purchase new landscaping or the professionals necessary to install it.
-
Keep the Property Clean – Extra costs may be assessed if residents cannot keep common areas clean of debris. Excessive littering can lead to excessive fees for clean-up.
