THE PURPOSE OF CLUBHOUSES

The purpose of clubhouses is to allow the development of social activities within a community. In most cases, they run in certain buildings used for club activities.

For this reason, clubhouses can be the most valuable amenities offered by homeowner associations.

FEES

IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT FEES ARE NOT OPTIONAL, AND THEY ARE A PART OF THE ANNUAL COSTS FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF COMMON AREAS. IT MEANS THAT HOMEOWNERS MUST PAY THESE FEES TO KEEP CLUBHOUSE REGARDLESS IF THEY ENJOY OR NOT ENJOY THEM. NOTWITHSTANDING, ALTHOUGH THE RENT CAN BE A LITTLE MORE EXPENSIVE, THEY WILL HAVE FULL USE OF THIS COMMON AREA.

STUDY GROUPS

Children can be the first that can benefit from a clubhouse. Many HOA’s clubhouses have facilities to create study groups equipped with an internet connection and electrical outlets. In the same way, study groups are also excellent options for organizing brainstorming activities within the community.

FILM CLUBS TO SHOW MOVIE MARATHONS

Clubhouses can be used as film clubs to show movies. These facilities come with large television screens, DVD players, comfortable chairs, projection screens, and even other items such as popcorn makers.

PRIVATE EVENTS

Most residential communities have party halls, but clubhouse facilities can offer residents an area to make reservations for private events or activities.

Usually, neighbors must make reservations in advance and pay a fee for cleaning the facilities.

RULES Most HOAs have rules to manage clubhouses. These rules include, for example, usage restrictions because of delinquency in payment of association dues. Besides, some regulations can restrict the use of clubhouse in the case of members that neglect clubhouse policies and CC&Rs Also, clubhouse rules can contemplate guidelines to use the facilities, the handing over of door keys, how tenants must enjoy the installations, and the homeowner’s responsibility for their tenant’s actions.
