5 Steps Your HOA Should Take To Protect You

The Coronavirus is changing everything. You should be social distancing, wearing mask & gloves when out in public. But what is your association doing? This virus is changing our industry, possibly for the better. These are 5 steps that your HOA should be taking to protect you. 

1. Video Meetings - Most associations are holding video conferencing. Because homeowners have a right to attend all Board meetings you should be permitted to attend via video conferencing. This is causing the attendance to soar and keeping homeowners informed. 
2. Cleaning Common Areas - All common areas should be disinfected. Hallways, clubhouses, laundry rooms, common bathrooms, etc... should be cleaned and disinfected regularly. 
3. Closing Facilities - Gyms, pools, saunas and the like should be closed during this outbreak & sanitized thoroughly prior to opening. 
4. Sanitizer - It may not be an option at this time, but once this is over the association could purchase sanitizer stations to be used for meetings or gatherings. 
5. Postpone Events - Limiting the social events during this time is imperative to making sure your keeping all of the homeowners safe and may be one way for the association to cut back on cost in preparation for possible increase in delinquencies.
