CEASE AND DESIST ORDERS (§ 54.1-2352)

A. The Board may issue an order requiring the governing board of the association
to cease and desist from the unlawful practice and to take such affirmative
action as in the judgment of the Board will carry out the purposes of this
article, if the Board determines after notice and hearing that the governing
board of an association has:

   1. Violated any statute or regulation of the Board governing the association
   regulated pursuant to this article, including engaging in any act or practice
   in violation of this article, the Property Owners&#8217; Association Act
   (&#xA7; 55.1-1800 et seq.), the Virginia Condominium Act (&#xA7; 55.1-1900 et
   seq.), the Virginia Real Estate Cooperative Act (&#xA7; 55.1-2100 et seq.),
   the Virginia Real Estate Time-Share Act (&#xA7; 55.1-2200 et seq.), the Resale
   Disclosure Act (&#xA7; 55.1-2307 et seq.), or any of the Board&#8217;s
   regulations or orders;

   2. Failed to register as an association or to file an annual report as
   required by statute or regulation;

   3. Materially misrepresented facts in an application for registration or an
   annual report; or

   4. Willfully refused to furnish the Board information or records required or
   requested pursuant to statute or regulation.

B. If the Board makes a finding of fact in writing that the public interest will
be irreparably harmed by delay in issuing an order, it may issue a temporary
order to cease and desist or to take such affirmative action as may be deemed
appropriate by the Board. Prior to issuing the temporary order, the Board shall
give notice of the proposal to issue a temporary order to the person. Every
temporary order shall include in its terms a provision that upon request a
hearing will be held promptly to determine whether or not it becomes permanent.
