Features / Rentals and owners
The owner gets the bill. The renter gets the gate code.
Every association has a few homes where the person who owes the dues is not the person living there. Getting that wrong means a renter receives an invoice they do not owe, or an owner never hears that the water is off on Tuesday. You answer one question per home and the right mail goes to the right person from then on.
One question, asked about the home
Who lives here: the owner or owners, or renters. That is the whole setup. It is asked about the house, not about each person, so a married couple can never end up on different answers and quietly split their mail. Homes you have not reviewed behave exactly as they always did, with everyone linked receiving everything, so nothing changes until you say so.
An owner can be a company
Plenty of rentals are held by an LLC or a trust. Give the owner a company name and that becomes the name shown in the directory, on the statement and on the envelope, filed under the company rather than under whatever its last word happens to be. Emails to a company skip the first-name greeting, because "Hi Milton" to Milton Rentals LLC is how a system tells you nobody read it.
One owner, several homes
An investor with four homes in the community gets four dues invoices, because four homes really is four bills, and one copy of the neighborhood announcement, because they are one person. Their record lists every home they hold rather than picking one.
Somebody else handles the money
An elderly owner whose adult child looks after the finances, a landlord who uses a property manager, a trust with a trustee. Tick "also send this home's bills to them" and they are added to the billing for that home. Added, never substituted: the owner stays on the list, because a setting that silently stops mailing the person who owes you money is a setting that costs you money.
Questions boards ask about rentals and owners
Does the renter or the owner pay HOA dues?
In almost every association the covenant runs with the deed, so the owner owes the dues whatever their lease says. This sends invoices, pay links, reminders and late notices to the owner, and never to a renter.
What if we do not have the renter's contact details yet?
Mark the home rented anyway. Until a renter is recorded, neighborhood email still goes to everyone linked so the home does not go silent, and the owner can pass it along.
Do renters get a sign-in?
Yes, the same as any other neighbor. They see their home's maintenance requests and community news; they do not see dues.
Who receives a violation notice?
The owner, because the covenant is theirs to keep. The letter names who is living there.
Is this included?
Yes, in every plan.
