<p class="MsoNormal">The association may want to first consider assessing fines for violations of the covenants. If the covenants don’t address the issue, what about adopting rules and regulations prohibiting the unwanted condition and a fine schedule that
provides for ongoing fines until the condition is abated? Unpaid fines are an assessment for which the association would have a lien (provided it followed whatever procedures are required in the CCRs to establish/perfect the lien, if any). The covenants likely
allow for a recovery of attorney fees and costs for foreclosing the lien whereas they might not for seeking injunctive relief.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"">I need a template/draft complaint for injunctive relief by a homeowners association against one of its homeowners. Older CC&Rs are not that helpful. Homeowner has a history
of allowing large amounts of trash, garbage and numerous vehicles to be located on the outside of his house which is in a very expensive waterfront neighborhood.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman""> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"">CCR&s allow for filing of a lien for monetary defaults. Owner is not in default of money obligations.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman""> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"">Need something that allows for injunctive relief which would allow the homeowners association to physically enter the property to clean it up and either have a judgment or a lien.
Kind of like what happens with city code enforcement with a recalcitrant homeowner with lots of trash.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman""> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"">I represent numerous homeowners associations and typically advise to file the lien and wait till the homeowner eventually either sells or refinances to get paid. Never injunctive
relief with poor CCRs.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
