Question: We have RV spaces at the front of our mobile home park on a well-traveled highway near the coast. We have been renting only to long-term RV'ers, but want to expand our business opportunities to include overnighters. Is that permissible and how do we do that?

Question: We have various screening criteria, but they change from time to time -- usually after we run up against a problem we haven't seen before. Is it OK to change our criteria, and if so, how do we do it?

Question: I have two questions regarding submetering. When a community completes the submetering and the tenant is paying back the community for the meter and cost of installation, who owns and maintains the meters from that point on? The second question is that we have a community that was metered when it was built but the community is on a master meter and paying for water and sewer. The community wants to give the notices to the tenants regarding submtetering but keep the current meters and not charge the tenants at this time for the cost of metering. If the community chooses to upgrade the meters at a later date, can we then pass the cost on to the tenant?

So before I give you another accounting rule we are enforcing, let me say the goal is to protect your investment! We live in a very litigious society and need to be aware of potential risks and ways to protect our assets. Commonwealth employees are insured through workers' compensation policies and also provided regular training regarding workplace safety. Another area we are striving to improve risk management and compliance is in the area of hiring contractors. When a contractor is hired, the onsite manager must obtain verification that the contractor is licensed, bonded, and insured. In addition, a Form W-9 must be provided for purposes of reporting non-employee compensation on a Form 1099-Misc at the end of the year.
