Rule delivery, amendments and fine-allocation rules
A tenant cannot comply with rules that were not supplied or clearly incorporated. Deliver the current declaration, bylaws, rules or relevant excerpts and identify their version or effective date.
Association amendments do not automatically rewrite every lease. Material changes, fines described as rent, enforcement, accommodations and owner pass-through charges remain subject to the lease and federal, state and local law.
