Do tenants pay HOA?

[Christopher Brown]

I will be renting out my house while living overseas for work and will be renting out my primary house while away. Is it common to have tenants pay HOA or is that the job of the landlord?

[Michael King]

I would say it's the job of the landlord. But you would factor that cost in to the rent if it's not exorbitant. I have several properties around $135 HOA per year; I pay it, but the tenant has already paid it in the rent.

I hope that helps you.
