COMPLAINT:
State the alleged violations in one or more sentences.
Example: “On August 1, 2011, I received written notice that I violated a HOA policy regarding the proper use
of the Clubhouse. The notice stated that I used the Clubhouse during prohibited hours, so I was assessed a fine.
However, the association had not provided the revision of the policy, in writing, to the unit owners for at least 30
days before I was assessed. Therefore, I should not have been fined.”

Nevada Revised Statues 116 and its sub-parts must support your allegations. State the particular provision where
the law supports the allegations and/or provide the section of the governing documents that supports your
allegations.
Example: NRS 116.31031 allows a homeowner 30 days to be made aware, in writing, of rules before any fines
are assessed. OR - if indicated in governing documents - The HOA bylaws adopted provide that a homeowner
must be made aware, in writing, of a violation for at least 30 days before any fines can be assessed. See attached
bylaws.
RESOLUTION:
State how you think the matter should be resolved.
Example: “I would like the fine removed because unit owners were not made aware, in writing, of the change in
policy 30 days prior to the assessment of the fine.”
