Within your Santa Clarita homeowner’s association or HOA, there are several service contracts used for various purposes such as services, repairs, and goods. Not all service contracts are created equal and these contracts should be created with care and your HOA in mind. You should take the time to create service contracts that are detailed and provide guidance for each section within your HOA.
What is a Service Contract?
A service contract is simply an agreement between any services your HOA provides to those living within the HOA. This includes many things including laundry, handyman services, plumbing, gardening and more. Anything that needs to be done or a service within your HOA must have a contract. Due to the lack of good and complete contracts, disputes happen often. It is imperative to have contracts that withstand any issue.
What Does A “Good” Contract Include?
A contract should include the following elements:
- How will changes be handled? This describes how changes to the contract will be handled and by whom.
- What items or functions are included within the contract? Each contract should be specific for the service or repair that needs to be done. For example, a plumbing contract should be strictly for plumbing and a gardening contract should be for gardening. Everything should have its own place.
- How are disputes handled? Each contract should spell out how disputes are handled, when, and who will be involved.
- Timeline, terms, and warranty. The contract should outline the timeline terms and warranties involved within the service or issue.
If the contract meets these requirements and is sufficient in solving problems, the contract should be strong enough to withstand any issues.
