What is the penalty for violating the condo association's rules and regulations?

In North Carolina, the penalty for violating a condo association’s rules and regulations can depend on the specific situation and the severity of the violation. Generally speaking, condo associations have the authority to assess fines for minor violations of its rules and regulations. These fines typically range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on the infraction. However, if a condo owner continues to violate the condo association’s rules and regulations after being fined, then the association may choose to take more serious action such as suspending the owner’s rights to use common areas, suspending the owner’s voting rights or even terminating the owner’s occupancy rights. If the owner refuses to comply with the condo association’s rules and regulations after being warned, then the association can take legal action against the owner. The most extreme legal action that a condo association can take is to evict the owner and seek a court order requiring the owner to vacate the premises. In this case, the court will determine if the landlord has breached its contract with the tenant. If so, the tenant may be responsible for damages and other legal fees. In North Carolina, if a court finds that the landlord’s breach of its contract is groundless or frivolous, the tenant may be entitled to the return of all or part of the security deposit, plus other costs and/or damages.
