WHEN ARE ASSESSMENTS DUE AND HOW SHOULD I PAY?
ASSESSMENTS ARE DUE ON THE 1ST OF THE MONTH AND CONSIDERED LATE IF PAYMENT IS NOT RECEIVED BY THE 10TH OF THE MONTH.
PAYMENTS MAY BE MADE VIA ACH, ECHECK, CREDIT CARD, OR REGULAR CHECK.
WHY WAS I CHARGED A LATE FEE? MY CHECK PAYMENT WAS SENT BY THE 10TH/MY CHECK IS DATED THE 10TH.
PAYMENTS MUST BE RECEIVED (I.E. THEY MUST HAVE BEEN DEPOSITED BY THE BANK AND CLEARED BOTH YOUR CHECKING ACCOUNT AND THE ASSOCIATIONS) BY THE 10TH OF THE MONTH.
NOTE: MANY BANKS PRE-CREDIT PAYMENTS SO THAT IS LOOK LIKE YOUR PAYMENT HAS BEEN MADE. DO NOT RELY ON THAT CREDIT AMOUNT AS PROOF YOUR PAYMENT HAS CLEARED THE BANK. IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE BEEN CHARGED A LATE FEE IN ERROR, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU PROVIDE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING WHEN CONTACTING THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY:
1) TRACE ID - THIS IS A CONFIRMATION FOR ELECTRONIC PAYMENTS THAT VERIFIES PAYMENT HAS CLEARED THE BANK. YOUR BANK CAN PROVIDE YOU THIS NUMBER.
2) CANCELLED CHECK - IF YOU MAKE A PAYMENT FROM YOUR BANK, OR MAIL A PAYMENT - YOU WILL RECEIVE A COPY OF THE DEPOSITED OR CANCELLED CHECK SHOWING THAT THE CHECK WAS DEPOSITED AND CLEARED. PLEASE SUBMIT A COPY OF THIS CHECK.
