But when it comes to the associated fees, confusion often arises. As a renter, it&#8217;s essential to understand whether these HOA fees are your responsibility or if they fall to the landlord. For landlords, determining who pays the HOA fees is a key decision that can affect rental agreements and tenant satisfaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you\u2019re a landlord listing your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rent.com\/washington\/seattle-houses\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">home for rent in Seattle<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or a renter looking for a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/17420\/CA\/San-Jose\/houses-for-rent\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">condo in San Jose<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, read this Redfin article to find out who is responsible for paying HOA fees.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-82474\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1830-Jefferson-Pl-NW.jpg\" alt=\"townhouses connected on a street\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1830-Jefferson-Pl-NW.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1830-Jefferson-Pl-NW-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1830-Jefferson-Pl-NW-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1830-Jefferson-Pl-NW-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1830-Jefferson-Pl-NW-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1830-Jefferson-Pl-NW-945x630.jpg 945w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/1830-Jefferson-Pl-NW-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who pays HOA fees?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately, this choice is up to the landlord. Some landlords pay the fees themselves, which can be the best way to ensure fees get paid on time. Others require their renters to pay. This happens in one of two ways:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The renter pays the HOA fees to the landlord, who then pays the HOA<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The renter pays the HOA directly<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HOA bylaws may govern which of these options is possible. Regardless, any information related to the renter paying HOA fees must be included in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/guides\/difference-between-lease-and-rent-agreement\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lease agreement<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. If landlords omit this information from the lease, they\u2019re legally unable to circle back when fees are due and demand the renter pay them. There are plenty of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/guides\/landlord-resources\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\">landlord resources<\/a> to help determine which option is best.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are HOA fees?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.apartmentguide.com\/blog\/what-is-an-hoa\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Homeowners Associations (HOAs)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> cover a variety of costs associated with living in a neighborhood. HOA fees can cover anything included in maintaining and improving the common parts of the neighborhood. The costs can vary widely, but typically average between <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/money\/blueprint\/mortgages\/what-are-hoa-fees\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$200 to $300 per month<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some communities have yearly HOA fees, meaning the payment is due in full once a year, rather than month-to-month. Costs can vary year-to-year based on what projects need completion and whether there\u2019s a surplus available to deal with unexpected issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most HOA fees cover those amenities shared by the community and can include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">General maintenance<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Landscaping in common areas<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Signage<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insurance and utilities for amenities<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gates<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amenities usually consist of any combination of a pool, tennis courts, clubhouse, fitness center, parks, and nature trails. HOA fees are dependent on many factors specific to each community, so the costs can vary widely. The number of amenities and the property\u2019s location are the two primary factors that impact the fees, but they\u2019re not the only factors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regardless of the cost, the purpose of HOA fees is the same almost everywhere. They\u2019re in place to keep the community functional and well-kept.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-84596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/GettyImages-874224824.jpg\" alt=\"Villa with pool and tennis court seen from the sky.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"799\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/GettyImages-874224824.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/GettyImages-874224824-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/GettyImages-874224824-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/GettyImages-874224824-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/GettyImages-874224824-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/GettyImages-874224824-946x630.jpg 946w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/GettyImages-874224824-451x300.jpg 451w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other responsibilities of an HOA<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to collecting fees and managing common areas within the community, an HOA is responsible for enforcing certain standards set by the community. HOAs are a legal body, so there\u2019s a board, regular meetings, and a voting structure in place to approve changes, update budgets, and receive community feedback.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Standards are typically known as \u201cCC&amp;Rs,\u201d short for covenants, conditions, and restrictions. Homeowners are usually given a copy of the most recent CC&amp;Rs when they buy property in a neighborhood with an HOA. These rules are typically extremely detailed to maintain a consistent look throughout the neighborhood.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, it may restrict the colors of paint you can use on the home\u2019s exterior, what you can display on your front lawn, and how long holiday decorations can be left up. They can also be more relaxed, only covering rules for communal areas. CC&amp;Rs are often updated each year, so it\u2019s important to notify renters of the new rules.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many people purchasing houses like having an HOA since it may impact property value. The stricter rules around maintenance and appearance can help keep homes in better shape overall, which may positively impact the sale price when the time comes to sell.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How does having an HOA impact a rental property?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since HOA fees are mandatory, either the landlord or renter will have to pay. No matter who pays though, it\u2019s the landlord\u2019s responsibility to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rent.com\/blog\/common-hoa-rules-to-follow-in-your-rental-home\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">enforce community rules<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. For example, if the HOA requires specific front yard maintenance, the landlord will need to let the renter know what guidelines to follow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to educate renters about your HOA is to share any guidelines or governing documents with your renter. This includes the HOA fees and how often they are paid. Landlords will also want to include language in the lease that explains the renter\u2019s responsibility and the consequences for not maintaining HOA bylaws.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_79690\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-79690\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-79690\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/GettyImages-1211584942.jpg\" alt=\"organizing-tips-4\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/GettyImages-1211584942.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/GettyImages-1211584942-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/GettyImages-1211584942-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/GettyImages-1211584942-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/GettyImages-1211584942-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/GettyImages-1211584942-945x630.jpg 945w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/GettyImages-1211584942-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-79690\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Anchiy via Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to include HOA fees in a lease agreement<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re a landlord asking renters to pay HOA fees, you\u2019ll need to create a separate section in the lease that speaks to this responsibility. The language should state that HOA fees fall on the renter. Also include specifics, such as the amount of the fees, when and how they\u2019re paid, and what the consequences are for not paying them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These consequences are ones landlords enforce, not ones that may come from the HOA itself. Landlords may even consider making the due date for HOA fees earlier to avoid any repercussions. It may also be worth considering factoring HOA payments into the monthly rent, rather than a separate cost.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, failure to pay HOA fees may be an evictable offense for renters. Failing to pay HOA fees can be a serious offense from the perspective of the property owner. Most landlords don\u2019t want to have to take on that liability if they\u2019re not making the actual payment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since HOA fees can change from year to year, landlords should make sure to review and update this section each time you sign a new lease or renew a lease from a current tenant. It\u2019s also possible to add an addendum to a current lease if something should change related to the fee structure from your HOA.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s the penalty for not paying HOA fees?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The bylaws of your HOA will determine what happens if fees aren\u2019t paid, but the situation can get tricky for renters. If the landlord has made the renter responsible for paying and they don\u2019t, landlords will still face the consequences. This could mean anything from incurring late fees to dealing with a lien on the property.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To avoid this, no matter who\u2019s paying the HOA fees, landlords may want the payment to go through them first. That way landlords can keep track of it. The easiest way to do this is to include HOA fees in the rent. Break down the annual cost and roll it up into the monthly rent collected, but let your renter know this is happening. Don\u2019t leave renters questioning why the rent is a little on the high side without them understanding what it\u2019s covering.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HOA fees are one of the more confusing parts of landlord-tenant relationships. It\u2019s not always clear who pays HOA fees or the best way to determine who should. Since there\u2019s no right answer to the question, the best thing is to have clear expectations and put everything into the lease. It will prevent last-minute questions and hopefully ensure HOA fees are never late.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do renters pay HOA fees?
