Can a condo association impose fines for violations of the condo rules?

In California, a condo association can impose fines for violations of the condo rules. The fines are typically within a predetermined range, outlined in the association’s governing documents. The amount of the fines is usually related to the severity of the violation. For example, if someone fails to pay an assessment on time, the fine will typically be a much lower amount than a fine imposed for a more serious violation, such as making unauthorized changes to their condo unit. The condo association is usually required to provide written notice to the owner before imposing fines. The notice should include a description of the violation and the amount of the fine. The owner has the right to contest the fine or to propose an alternative form of payment. If the owner does not contest the fine and fails to pay, the association can take legal action to collect the money owed. The association also has the right to suspend the owner’s rights and privileges if the fine is not paid. These rights include the right to vote or attend association meetings and the right to use the common areas of the building. It is important for owners to be familiar with their association’s rules and be aware of any fines that could be imposed for violations.
