Fines and costs for violations of the Membership Rules

Last updated June 14, 2023

Violations of PadSplit's  Membership Rules  can result in fines and charges for damages incurred.

  • PadSplit or your Host may issue a fine in association with a second Key removal (see,  Three Keys Policy  for more information).
  • The cost for damages, failed payments, utilities abuse and towing will be passed onto the Member regardless of the amount of Key removals they have received.
  • If it is clear that a rule violation has occurred in the home but no Member is identified as the responsible party, fines, charges and damages may be imposed against the entire house. Members billed during this process may appeal the charges by  submitting a dispute .
