For	I'm tired of HOA charging higher prices and telling homeowners what to do.	May-20-2011

Against	If you require a 2/3 vote of the membership to approve a collection policy it will never get done. You can't even get people to run for the boards and I have never seen even a majority of owners to vote in annual elections. If an HOA can not get 2/3 of the owners to vote for a collection policy there will be no collection policy. If that happens then the owners will be more inclined to not pay their HOA assessments. I feel that if this happens you will see more and more HOA's going bankrupt and into receivership and they will become the State of Nevada's problem and I don't think the State of Nevada wants that to happen.	May-04-2011
Against	This bill would seriously damage HOA's ability to collect deliquent accounts.	May-04-2011

Against	I do not feel that this burden should be placed on the homeowners of HOA's when the banks should of never put most of those who lost homes into them, knowing that the people couldn't afford it	Apr-30-2011
Against	I am President of our HOA. We have about 1100 lot owners. The majority of owners have not built and many of them live out of state. We cannot more than a 50% response rate on any issue even if it involves something that directly benefits the owner. This bill would seriously hurt our ability to collect delinquent fees and would have deleterious effect on our ability to maintain our roads which our community property.	Apr-30-2011
Against	I am representing 1100 homeowners in a common-interest community; it is hard enough for us to collect on past due money and often it does not even cover the legal costs. This is a very bad bill and should be rejected.	Apr-29-2011

Against		Apr-29-2011
Against	The bill as written will increase Association's costs, will throw up additional procedural barriers that will make it extremely difficult for Association's to collect seriously delinquent accounts, and will make it cost prohibitive for management companies to process delinquent accounts. If the legislature's intent is to force greater increases in assessments for the paying members to the benefit of members who aren't contributing toward the expenses for the upkeep of their common interest communities, then this is the bill to do it.

Against	As a homeowner its not fair that I pick up the tab for my deadbeat neighbors. Someone is going to pay for collections and it will those of us that pay our assessments and I don't want to be one of them.	Apr-29-2011
Against		Apr-26-2011
Against	This bill should die. Communities need to stay coordinated and everyone comply for eye appeal and property values. Much work goes into doc prep for transfers.	Apr-26-2011
Against	Great bill! Now my neighbors who still pay their assessments will no longer have to and neither will I! Let's also introduce a bill to prohibit banks from foreclosing and we won't have to pay our mortgages either. Then my neighborhood will start to look like the nice California town turned ugly that I moved away from.	Apr-26-2011

Against	This bill will kill HOA's. They will not be able to collect assessment which is what pays for the repair, replacement an enhancement of the commen elements. Property value of all homeowners in an Association will be effective. It will allow for no homeowner to pay, hence and why should the ones that care pay for the ones that just don't care. This is just crazy, people know what they buy in to and a bill should help not harm the Association. THis is a horrible bill.	Apr-19-2011
Against	This bill might as well be called a bank bailout bill. Please vote against this bill.	Apr-18-2011

Against	PASSAGE OF THIS BILL WILL BE CALAMATOUS TO THE HOA THAT I AM PART OF. AS A MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF THE SUN CITY SUMMERLIN NEIGHBORHOOD MAINTENANCE ASSOC. I CAN ATTEST TO THE DIFFICULTY OF MAINTAINING THE APPEARANCE AND INTEGRITY OF OUR HOMES WITHOUT RAISING THE HOMEOWNER ASSESSMENTS TO A LEVEL THAT MANY WOULD FIND DIFFICULT TO SUSTAIN. BY REMOVING OR REDUCING THE COST OF COLLECTING PAST DUE FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS, AND REVISING PROVISIONS GOVERNING AN ASSOCIATION'S LIEN FOR ASSESSMENTS, YOU ARE TRANFERRING THOSE COSTS TO THE OTHER HOMEOWNERS, ASKING THEM TO PAY FOR THE RELATIVE FEW WHO HAVE FALLEN IN ARREARS. IT IS WRONG!!!	Apr-15-2011

Against	you "the government" have created the mess that makes associations have to have a collection agency. The laws are complex and have to be followed to place liens in order to collect monies owed.(the government created this collection agency business by making the complex laws and now does not want them to make any money beyond what is owed to the associations	Apr-14-2011
Against	From the Ironwood Neighborhood Watch Committee which represents 178 homes	Apr-14-2011
Against	This bill will cripple the ability of the homeowner board to collect funding necessary for the operation of the community. Without the ability to charge collection fees there would be no incentive for a home owner to pay their required assessments.	Apr-14-2011
Against	This is as preposterous as AB388. This is ill-conceived and will be financially devastating to HOAs. The legislature has no more business dictating the fees and costs associated with managing an HOA than it does dictating to the legal profession the limit on an hourly charge for its services. The Executive Board is charged with a responsibility in the governing documents to protect the interests of the Association and all the members. The nature of the fees and costs are commensurate with the time and effort necessary to ensure that reticent, malfeasant homeowners who choose to live in squalor are brought into compliance. This pathetic piece of legislation is clearly designed to attempt to undermine the authority of HOAs to such a degree as to make them useless, which is exactly what the HOA bashers want.	Apr-13-2011

Against	My yearly dues are $165 where other places are over $100 per month. How can people not afford $165 a year? Their monthly electric bill in the summer time is bigger than that. We need the ability to collect all costs related to HOA dues that are owed by past due home owners. Otherwise the cost would be pasted onto other home owners that pay their dues.	Apr-13-2011
Against	Horrid and dangerous to responsible homeowners. When will government stand up for responsible constituents, instead of those who cause damage to our neighborhoods by removing protections?	Apr-13-2011

Against	Terrible bill board member Elko	Apr-12-2011
Against	As a volunteer board member in Elko, NV this is a very unfair bill. The only people who would gain from this are the people not paying. Why would the state legislature want volunteer board members to try and collect without proper legal advise and assistance? Terrible bill!	Apr-12-2011

Against	The association should be able to collect past due obligations.	Apr-12-2011
Against		Apr-12-2011
Against	If this is changed, the dues to all homeowners will have to be increased to cover the cost and we have no chance of recovering. The HOA still has to pay to re-roof, paint, landscape, etc. We have to keep a percentage of reserve money to cover the cost of the up keep of these properties. If we can't recover some of this money it all falls to the other homeowners. It will be very frightening to ever live in a condo complex or other HOA's. It will be a big benefit to the banks but once again not to the individual homeowner. This may also make a bad situation worst because it could cause the homeowner struggling to pay to decide they wouldn't pay either.	Apr-12-2011
Against	only good for special interest parties.	Apr-12-2011
Against		Apr-12-2011
Against	This bill will make it very difficult for homeowner associations to stay a float financially and keep our communities running smoothly. If we are unable to collection assessments that are due then the homes will not be able to be maintained and looking nice. We love our community because it is an oasis from the areas around us. The landscape is kept up, the maintenance on the buildins is kept up and we are able to enjoy our home. Please vote against this bill. Thank you for listening to someone who cares about where I live and love living in a Homeowner Association.	Apr-12-2011

Against	Yet another attempt to have the entire community pay for the bills incurred by delinquent homeowners. Why should we all have to subsidize them? And a legislative bill to allow clotheslines? Don't you have anything better to do? Common-interest communities are there to protect everyone's rights, and anything visible to the community is regulated. Where does your infringement of these rights stop?	Apr-11-2011
Against	“Boundaries” needs to be more defined. For one, the Association is to follow the regulations stated in the governing documents for aesthetic maintenance of the property. Generalizing the term also includes patios and balconies where some Units do not have a fenced yard. Some governing documents stipulate that nothing shall be above the wall enclosing the yard visible from the street and/or neighbors. Having to submit an architectural form for approval for any exterior alteration, a homeowner with a patio and/or balcony, could object to being denied by their Board of Directors. The term ought to define boundaries to stipulate that only Units having an enclosed backyard may install a clothesline. The Association may then have a reasonable request that it be installed below the line of visibility from outside the perimeter. It is obvious how many would be disgruntled at having to enjoy their view of their community with an eye-sore of inappropriate use of space hanging from every surrounding balcony. Not to mention articles of clothing that may be blown away and may not be picked up by its owner on a regular basis. Let’s face it, many do care but in reality some don’t.	Apr-11-2011
Against	This is a terrible bill. Please vote it down. The CICs have enough problems without this bill.	Apr-11-2011
Against	Don't let those who don't want to pay their share raise my dues!	Apr-11-2011
Against	This bill unconscionably releases delinquent homeowners from liability for their debts, shifting the burdnen onto the remainder of the association, who pay their bills in full and on time. It also ties the hands of the association to foreclose when delinquencies stretch into many months. Keep in mind that many condominium associations have only a small number of homeowners (ours has only 38 units), and tis will result in exorbitant fees assessed to the homeowners if the HOA is unable to properly deal with delinquents. Banks are not reuqired to complete a foreclosure action in 120 days, so why should an association be held to a stricter standard? This bill appears to be written to benefit banks, not middle class homeowners.	Apr-11-2011
Against	The fees that are charged are pass through fees that the association incurs for the process of collections. This would be the same as for a private home owner. The association is required by the legislature to maintain a fully funded reserve account. These unexpected costs cannot come from reserves and the regular budget does not have provisions for these unforseen expenses. The rules should not be different just because this is an HOA. The residents expect to be treated fairly and if someone does not pay their dues or special assessments, everyone in the community suffers.	Apr-11-2011
Against	This bill rewards the deadbeats at the expense of those who pay their bills on time even if it is a financial hardship to do so. Yes, some people are in economic hard times. But the HOA members who pay timely should not be punished for those who cannot or WILL not pay. OPPOSE this bill in its entirety!!	Apr-11-2011

Against	Collection costs allow the association to get professional help to bring in contractually agreed upon assessments. The banks and deliquent owners do not want to pay assessments. IT IS NOT Right for already strapped HOA members that do pay their bills, to have the added burden to pay for vacant, abandoned or bank owner property? People are abandoning or living in homes and not making payments to the banks, and the banks are not paying for the necessary services to maintain the community.	Apr-11-2011

Against	This legislation will only enable those who violate with impunity to do so more than ever. I serve, for free, on a board and I see flagrant violations accumulate the fines into the thousands of dollars. I do not want those "law abiding citizens" of our communities to shoulder the burden of collections because someone lives in a common interest community but wants to act like he/she lives in the hills of moonshine country. It is called a common interest community for a reason.	Apr-11-2011

Against	I reside in a homeowners association and am a board member in my HOA, Silverado Ranch III. I enjoy living in my HOA and have served on our board now for 4 years. Our Board works very hard to maintain all common areas; landscaping, irrigation lines, water meters and with all the recent foreclosures collection of all our assessment monies necessary to do just that has been very difficult. Now our legislators present bills such as AB394 that are unrealistic and do not allow associations to go about the important fiduciary responsibility of collecting assessments in a timely manner. The collection procedures, as they are a legal procedure, is one that cannot be done by our association and our Board seeks out professionals with proper licensing and expertise to perform these collection functions. These professionals will not contract the necessary functions of collections including liens and notices of default/election to sell for the amounts as detailed in AB394. Therefore, you will cause our association to either not collect rightful assessments from the select few that are neglectful in their duties to pay their fair share to maintain and repair common areas or cause the association to collect the small cost as detailed in this bill while having to take 'good' owners' paid assessment operating funds to pay those collection costs for those that do not have the care and concern of their association at all. I agree that a cap should be set for collection costs associations may charge back to their owners, but make it reasonable and workable in the real world of todays collection attorneys and collection agencies; maybe take Senator Copening's suggested cap of $1,800!!! That is fair more business reasonable and allow associations to collect their necessary assessments to keep up all their common areas!! Remember, if you do away with the HOA, the Counties and State will have to take over the maintenance of all streets, sidewalks, walls, landscaping, water and ele	Apr-11-2011
Against	This bill punishes the majority of rule abiding and assessment paying homeowners in favor of the dead beats who don't abide by the rules and don't pay their assessments. I am happy with my HOA and believe that a rabid and vocal few have high jacked the legislative process to punish the rule abiding and assessment paying majority of homeowners.	Apr-11-2011

Against	AB 394 will cause serious harm in the ability to collect assessments, collect transfer fees on the resale of property and enforce rules in the CIC. This bill will encourage slackers, to continue slacking because there will be NO consequences. Instead the burden will be pushed onto law abiding residents in the HOA who are responsible. They are the ones who will suffer will residents who are deliquent on fees, banks and investors get off scott free.	Apr-11-2011
