Cost to attend HOA Meetings

[Hamik Aghanian]

I have a noisy tenant with a sensitive neighbor that just can't seem to get along. The neighbor keeps complaining to the HOA and I get called into board meetings. The problem is that I live 50 miles from the property now. I have already been to the board meetings four times this year and just got called in to go again.

The lease is coming up and I wanted to know if it would be reasonable to include a clause requesting my tenant pay for my time and travel costs to attend these meetings.  If anyone has some similar language they've included in their lease, that would also be appreciated.
