Water Leak Policy
One of the most difficult situations for boards and community association managers to respond to is a water leak situation. Who is responsible for repairing what? Who is supposed to investigate? What if someone’s negligence caused the water leak? In order to more efficiently determine the source of leaks and mitigate damage caused by such leaks, associations should consider adopting a water leak policy.

Personal Identifying Information Policy
A PII policy is necessary for associations to establish a process for the security and destruction of documents containing personal identifying information in its possession, whether in paper or electronic format.

Towing Policy
When individuals fail to comply with parking rules, the HOA may leave the Board of Directors looking for enforcement options, including the possibility of towing improperly parked vehicles. HB22-1314, which was signed into law in 2022, and most recently this year’s HB24-1051, created substantial new towing requirements that regulate towing carriers. We strongly recommend you adopt or update your existing towing policy to be compliant with the new laws.

Reasonable Accommodation Policy
To minimize potential discrimination claims within your association, we recommend adopting a Reasonable Accommodation Policy. The policy should set forth a process for requesting reasonable accommodations, reviewing the requests, and making decisions on the same.
