					<description><![CDATA[By Barbara Holland RJRealEstate.Vegas &#124; Are you ready for a major financial crisis for your homeowners association? Well, Senate Bill 144 will make the Great Recession and the COVID-19 pandemic look like child’s play. Sen. Pat Spearman has proposed SB144, which would profoundly affect community associations. ■ It would eliminate nonjudicial foreclosure of delinquent assessments. Essentially, associations would be financially strapped in collecting their delinquencies as court costs substantially more money and time. If we can’t collect our assessments, we would be forced to increase assessments on the homeowners who do pay each month to cover our operating expenses. There is no foreclosure crisis in Nevada’s HOAs. Based on Nevada Real Estate Division’s foreclosure statistics for the period July 2020 through March, there were almost no foreclosures in Northern Nevada. In Clark County, there were a total of 33 during this period, which represents 0.0037 percent of the HOA units in Clark County. There are mandatory waiting periods in our current nonjudicial foreclosure laws and a 60-day redemption period, following the foreclosure sale, which would be lost under judicial foreclosure. Nonjudicial foreclosure fees are capped pursuant to Nevada Administration Code 116.470. There is no cap on the cost of judicial foreclosure. Switching to judicial foreclosure will not reduce HOA foreclosures, it will only make it more expensive for delinquent owners to save their home short of foreclosure. ■ If the bill became law, it would place a temporary moratorium on assessment increases and thereafter require an HOA to seek state approval for any assessment increase. Can you imagine going through the red tape to meet the necessary increases in your operating and reserve expenses through the state bureaucracy? The logistics are staggering. There are over 3,500 HOAs in Nevada, and most have a January-to-December fiscal year. How will the state timely review and decide if these HOAs “deserve” an assessment increase? Have you ever seen electricity, gas, water, rubbish and sewer expenses be decreased by these utilities? And the conversion to LED lighting or landscape conversion to reduce water expenses requires investing money to realize any savings. This senator has no clue as to the increases in the operating expenses that many associations have incurred to open their facilities over the past year to meet COVID restrictions. In addition, most governing documents have built-in restrictions as to how much an association can increase its assessments each year. Anything over their caps would require a mailing of ballots to the homeowners to meet their required approvals percentage found in their covenants, conditions and restrictions, which could easily be 51 percent or more. ■ It would require every association of 100 units or more to have and maintain a website that allows for online assessment payments. I don’t think the senator realizes just how many associations and management companies already provide such a service. For some associations and management companies, this would be an added operating expense. Spearman has proposed a number of “conceptual amendments” that are not reflected in the version of SB144. That is available online through NELIS, the state’s legislative information system, leg.state.nv.us/App/NELIS/REL/81st2021. The bill may be heard in a work session before the Senate Judiciary Committee this week. I urge you to contact members of the committee immediately. The email for the panel is SenJUD@sen.state.nv.us. I also have included a list of committee members and their individual emails in this column. If you are a constituent, please email your senator, personally. ■ Melanie Scheible: chair, Melanie.Scheible@sen.state.nv.us ■ Nicole Cannizzaro: vice chair, Nicole.Cannizzaro@sen.state.nv.us ■ James Ohrenschall, James.Ohrenschall@sen.state.nv.us ■ Dallas Harris, Dallas.Harris@sen.state.nv.us ■ James Settelmeyer James.Settelmeyer@sen.state.nv.us ■ Ira Hansen, Ira.Hansen@sen.state.nv.us ■ Keith Pickard, Keith.Pickard@sen.state.nv.us Barbara Holland is a certified property manager and holds the supervisory community manager certificate with the state of Nevada.

					<description><![CDATA[By Barbara Holland RJRealEstate.Vegas &#124; Great news: Your emails and calls helped to kill Senate Bill 144, the bill that would have eliminated non-judicial foreclosure, required state approval of assessment increases and mandated a homeowners association-maintained website. It did not pass out of committee by the April 9 deadline. Please take the time to thank the Senate Judiciary Committee on SB 144 for listening to our concerns. As of April 12, here is a brief status update on other HOAs bills: ■ Senate Bill 186 restricts debt collectors that are affiliated with management companies from collecting delinquent assessments for HOAs managed by the affiliated management company. This bill also requires the debt collector to file an annual report on HOA collection activity by zip code. Amended bill passed out of committee. ■ Assembly Bill 313 provides for electronic voting in HOA elections. Amended bill passed out of committee. If passed, this will be an interesting regulation and potentially a difficult regulation as associations will need to protect the integrity of the voting. ■ Assembly Bill 237 imposes limits on what can be charged and collected for providing a resale packet. Amended bill passed out of committee. Every year, there is some bill pertaining to the demand letter or the resale packet as to what is to be included as well as to the cost. ■ Assembly Bill 249 prohibits a community association from imposing construction hours that differ from city or county construction hours. Amended bill passed out of committee. This is one bill that we will have to monitor. Many associations have reasonable restrictions as to construction hours. ■ Senate Bill 72 provides that the commission shall adopt regulations for use in determining what constitutes a health, safety or welfare violation and the appropriate fine for such violation. This bill proposes other amendments supported by Nevada Real Estate Division. Amended bill passed out of committee. This is an important bill, as too many associations have misinterpreted what constitutes an HOA violation. This will be closely monitored and, if passed, there will be more discussion at the commission level. ■ Assembly Bill 295, on the availability of records, died. ■ Senate Bill 257, which would have eliminated the requirement that the association maintain property insurance for certain condos/town homes, died. Many condominiums and town houses were caught by surprise when a law was passed a number of years ago requiring associations to maintain property insurance for certain condominiums and town houses. When the law passed, many associations had to deal with the substantial increase in insurance and had to pass on these costs to their homeowners. ■ Senate Bill 339, allowing an HOA to lease abandoned properties, died. This was probably a good idea to kill this bill. Which association wants more legal issues as to the rights of what appears to be an abandoned property. This column will try to keep you all current as to the legislative action concerning associations.

					<description><![CDATA[#LasVegas &#8211; Nevada state law backs HOA rules on garbage cans in Q: I am a resident of a gated community in southwest Las Vegas. We’ve lived in this community for a year and a half. Our house is on the right side of the road. There is no neighbor at our left, and there is a wall between our house and road. We always place our garbage can on the side of our house but not in the gate at our backyard. It is outside of our backyard gate, and there is a wall on the side. We recently received a violation notice from our homeowners association. The board has ordered us to remove the trash can from the common area view and visible site, which is our site. Is that a common area? It belongs to our house and it’s our property. I don’t understand why we can’t place them on our property? (Can) we move them to inside our backyard gate? They are still visible because we don’t have a screen door. This confuses me. In this community not only our trash can is visible. In a letter the HOA sent to us it said that living in a planned community involves the “consideration of all residents to abide by the covenants, conditions and restrictions. One reason for having CC&#038;Rs is to protect the rights of homeowners in the community, both yours and those of your neighbors.” It went on to say: “Another reason is to assure that everyone maintains their properties in a manner that is consistent with other properties in the association. We understand the following noncompliance item may just be an oversight. Please be aware that the following condition has been noted on the property and is not consistent with the community standards outlined in the governing documents. The non-compliance must be c&#8230; See More At HOAAlliance.org #HOAAlliance #HOACaseLaw #HOAAlliance #Laws #HOALaw #Homeowner #Homeowners #HOA #Condo #RealEstate #HomeownersAssociation #CondoAssociation #Covenants #Bylaws #COOP #Property #House #Home #HOABoard #Community #Association #PropertyOwners #HOAAttorney]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Q: (I am) writing this after reading (your) article about homeowners associations requesting a house be painted after three years. I live in a very nice community where the HOA has drastically changed the paint schemes in our community. I have had issue with this since I found out about changes and believed them when they said it was legally changed with an executive board meeting where two board members motioned and seconded the change. Come to find out, years later, there is a provision in covenants, conditions and restrictions that requires a 67 percent of homeowners’ written permission to change, “by act or omission change, waive or abandon any scheme of regulations, or enforcement thereof, pertaining to the architectural design, the exterior appearance or the maintenance of the lots in the association property.” Taken directly from our CC&#38;Rs. My community looks like a mix-matched group of $600,000 houses. I want the community I bought into, not this mixed-matched messed-up community in which I now reside. Help, what are my options? Do I have recourse? Please advise or recommend action. A: This maybe one of those fine-line responses. Do the changes in the color scheme constitute a substantial architectural change of the community requiring the approval of the homeowners? Does exterior appearance mean contractual changes as opposed to cosmetic changes of color? For many associations, the original paint scheme is not available any more. The paint colors simply don’t exist, and more “modern” colors have come to replace the older ones. Even if this is the case with your association, there should be some consistency of colors for the residents to prevent the mixed-match mess-up. As to my questions that started this article, I don’t have the answer. The association would need legal counsel to interpret their covenants.
