Re: Addendum to charge for HOA by Dave on May 28, 2018 @10:34

                              
I am not familiar with PA laws. As a general matter I would ask exactly how the original lease was written both as to the move to the new unit and the second year money details. My leases provide for pass throughs on HOA increases, taxes and insurance on extensions, renewals and mid term increases. You present what I would classify as an option sort of element. If the original lease is cancelled on your tenants move to new unit,....then it would seem to be a new lease,...and anything goes,.....as negotiated.

I agree that the original leaseshoudl be looked at very closely. Usually you cnanot add additional charges mid-lease unless something in the lease allows for it.

If there is nothing in the lease of the stautes for PA and since an HOA charge would be a new, additional fee, I think you have weak ground to stand on to enforce it. The tenant has a reasonable expectation as to what they are responsible for. Even adding the HOA fee if she moves is a bit questionable since the 'new' lease is part of a prior agreement where HOA fees are not included in the price.

If you want to keep a good relationship with the tenants, I think you would be better off waiting until the lease ends and then notify them of the additional charges with their renewals.
