Frequently Asked Questions
Can the HOA charge a fee to rent the clubhouse?
Yes. Most associations charge a rental fee and require a refundable security deposit when homeowners reserve the clubhouse for private events. The fees should be reasonable and cover the costs of setup, cleaning, utilities, and potential damage. The clubhouse rental policy should be documented in the community rules and applied consistently to all members.
