In so doing, this policy also seeks to mitigate liability exposure for the Summers Creek Homeowners' Association (SCHOA) by placing greater emphasis and responsibility for tenant screening on landlord owners. The liability for landlord owners is also reduced by providing a means of demonstrating that they have done the proper due diligence and applied the proper judgment in the tenant selection process should any future litigable incidents involving their tenants occur.
