Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
Fines
I lease my condo unit to a tenant. Suddenly the management company hired by the condo association sent me a letter telling me that I have been fined $25.00 becuase my tenant
continues to park in the visitor's designated parking spaces.
Does the association have a right to impose a fine on me, the landlord because my tenant is alleged to have parked
on prohibited spaces ? Why can the management company call the police to have this car towed ?Does the Association have the right to fine ?

Re: Fines
Associations have the right to fine members for violating the rules, but they must also give you notice of the violation and the opportunity for a hearing. It is your responability to make sure the tenant is following the rules.
