Rhode Island law lets a condominium association levy reasonable fines for violations, but only after notice and an opportunity to be heard. Unlike many states, Rhode Island sets explicit daily caps: no more than $100 per day for residential condominiums and $500 per day for commercial.
R.I. Gen. Laws § 34-36.1-3.02(a)(11) empowers the association to "levy reasonable fines for violations of the declaration, bylaws, and rules and regulations of the association" only "after notice and an opportunity to be heard." Section 34-36.1-3.20 spells out enforcement: "An executive board may impose and assess fines against a unit owner," but "notice and the opportunity for a hearing must be provided to an alleged violator before a fine is imposed and assessed." Critically, it caps the amount: "Daily fines … shall be no more than one hundred dollars ($100) per day for residential condominiums nor more than five hundred dollars ($500) per day for commercial condominiums." Hearings are before the executive board or its designee.
Reasonable fines may be assessed after notice and a hearing, but daily fines are capped at $100/day for residential condominiums and $500/day for commercial condominiums under § 34-36.1-3.20.
