sales tax on rented units

We pay sales tax on rented units for services. that would be garbage collection and management fee. Am I thinking wrong to pass that on to the unit owner who does not live in the condo causing the sales tax to be added onto our budget as a cost. or is it minute to bring up.
one unit estimates 3 dollars. 3x12 36 x 10 brings it to 360.. We recently have an increase in rentals. investors are marching in. back when it was 6 units not a big deal now we have 10 units being rented. And what gets me is the owner is making money by renting and we have to pay sales tax per a state law. sounds backwards to me.

This is all confusing. It's not very clear. If the HOA pays sales tax then this should be part of the dues you charge your HOA members. Renters don't pay dues or HOA expenses. So it would require a possible dues increase to cover the additional expense.

You got a point, John.

If that's what she wants to do, it might require an adjustment to the CCRs since all the community costs have to be shared by all homeowners, and if there's a growing number of investor-owners, that may be difficult to get them to sign off on that. That's why my community doesn't have a rental cap - by the time the board approved the final draft for homeowner review and approval, owner-occupants like me were already outnumbered by the investors.

That said, one of those investor-owners suggested that the community consider charging some sort of surcharge at the start and finish of the lease agreement, noting that tenants usually cost the association more money (wear and tear from the constant moving out and having to contact the owner AND the tenant about a problem). I thought that was reasonable, but of course, that didn't go anywhere. Until he sold his house, that homeowner was one of two I've met around here who were actually responsible landlords! He was even board president for a while and did a good job.

Not banging the renters for anything. Renters dont pay through us..Maybe the owner will bang the renter for any increase to the owner

Our Covenants restrict any rentals during the first year of one's ownership. This has stopped investors/speculators.

We also turn a blind eye to parent/child rentals such as parents buy the place but child lives there and in one case, child buys the place and her parents live there. We do not count them as rentals as who knows the dynamics.
