Sample Letter to Inform Residents
In an effort to assist our members with communicating best practices to help prevent the spread of the virus, CAI has developed a sample letter to inform residents of the steps your community may take to address the COVID-19 outbreak. The letter addresses association operations—cleaning, common areas and amenities, meetings and events, social distancing, and staffing—and what the association may do if residents contract COVID-19.
You are encouraged to customize the letter to your community association’s needs, filling in the appropriate details (see bracketed and highlighted areas) or picking and choosing certain sections that apply in your community.
