Kuester Management Group Urges Clarity on HOA Holiday Decor

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Oct. 25, 2019 - PRLog -- The holiday season is just around the corner; as such, many homeowners will soon be festooning their properties with festive ornaments and decorations. Before the holiday decorating season begins in earnest, it behooves Homeowners Association Boards to be clear about their rules and policies. In a new statement to the press, Kuester Management Group emphasizes the need for clear, straightforward communication.

"The last thing you want is a holiday-season spat between homeowners and the Association, one that could potentially decrease morale throughout your community," comments Bryan Kuester, President of Kuester Management Group. "To minimize conflict, just be clear about the HOA's stated rules and regulations with regard to holiday decor."

Kuester notes that HOA Boards should only enforce policies that are enshrined in the community's governing documents; additional rules must be passed by the Board before they can be enforceable.

"Hopefully, homeowners all have a copy of the governing documents and can review the rules about holiday decorations," Kuester notes. "Even so, it may be wise to send a friendly email reminder, alerting homeowners to what is or isn't allowed, or else just reminding them to review the guidelines before they decorate."

Many HOA communities have very straightforward, common-sense policies with regard to holiday lights and decorations. "Emphasize that these rules exist to maintain a clean, orderly look throughout the community, and also to keep the peace," Kuester summarizes.
