28 Fines

Monetary fines are used to discourage willful violation of established rules & regulations and to promote urgent correction of identified violations among owners, renters, or guests who are in violation. The Association shall have the right to levy fines for violations of these rules if a violation is not immediately remedied by the offending unit owner upon written notice from the Association. 

1. Unit owners are responsible for the acts or omissions of their respective guests, invitees, licensees, tenants, family members or agents and shall pay upon demand any fines levied by the Association.
2. In the general case, the Association shall have the right to fine the offending unit owner $50 for each day that a violation continues after such notice from the Association. 
3. If such violation is not cured within five days of said notice, the Association shall have the right to increase the fine to $100 for each day that the violation continues thereafter.
4. Fines shall be levied against a unit owner as a special assessment and shall be paid immediately to the Association.
5. Unpaid fines will accrue late charges at the rate of one and one-half (1.5%) percent per month for every month the fine remains unpaid.
6. In specific cases, the Association shall have the right to fine different amounts and escalate the amounts at different rates.
7. If a renter fails to comply with the provisions of the CityView Declaration, the By-laws or these rules then, in addition to all other remedies which it may have, the Association may notify the unit owner of such violation(s) and demand that the tenant be evicted.
8. Upon receiving such notice, the unit owner shall immediately institute and diligently prosecute, at his own expense, an eviction action against his tenant. 
9. Such action shall not be compromised or settled without the prior written consent of the Association. 
10. If a unit owner fails to take such action, the Association shall have the right, but not the duty, to institute and prosecute such action as attorney-in-fact for the unit owner and at the unit owner’s sole cost and expense, including all legal fees incurred.
11. Expenses incurred as a result of such action shall be deemed to constitute a lien on the particular unit involved, and collection thereof may be enforced by the Association in the same manner as the Association is entitled to enforce collection of common expenses.
