Each year, some Seattle-area condos and HOAs are compelled to enforce their governing documents in response to Halloween-related activities. One common type of enforcement action relates to installation of decorations that pose a fire hazard or otherwise violate the governing documents. Another common type of enforcement action relates to the vandalism and other acts of malicious mischief that sometimes occur on Halloween. Community associations can impose fines in response to these types of activities if properly adopted and distributed fine schedules are in place. If fines are contested, then associations should consider obtaining legal guidance.
My law office is available to help Seattle-area condos and HOAs understand and enforce their governing documents.
