Continuous Violation Problems

Board of Directors see repeat offenders more than they like. When dealing with violators that refuse to change despite fines and hearings, here are some dialouge suggestions to assist in getting everyone to see eye to eye.

"The Board is going to ask you (the violator) to look at the the rules and again decide if you're being reasonable."

"We're going to ask you to look at the cost to the community--in dollars and in sense--of battling with reoccuring violations instead of finding a way to end the violation."

"In a community association like ours, can you understand why the rules are in place? ...With that understanding, do you agree that our rules are fair for the community?"
