Changes to House Rules to include feesJan 23, 2025

The board recently updated the house rules to include a sublet fees and illegal sublet fee. Is that allowed? I thought it was supposed to be referenced in the proprietary lease?

fees and fines - DM Feb 03, 2025

Fees and fines are two different things. Charging for illegal sublets is probably a "fine" - which has to be authorized/allowable by the lease.

The sublet cost sounds like a "fee." Which may or may not have to be allowable per the lease.

If the lease does not permit fines then they are unenforcable and you do not have to pay them no matter what the
coops says.
