Sometimes the Losses are Not the Fault of the Board

Bad guidance can lead a board to disaster! No two accountants, managers or attorneys will give the same advice, but some advice is clearly bad. In the past, it was enough for an association to wait until a property sold to collect unpaid dues and fees. These days if an association files lien notices, it is for nothing. The Master Deed provides public notice of the lien; later filed notices add nothing. Such notices are a waste of attorney fees and management time. Only the last five years of liens is collectible. Delay is now a waiver of older fees. The best course of action is to teach owners that the association means business.

Serving on a Condominium Board Should be Enjoyable!

Its More Fun to Serve on a Successful Board! Operating a Condominium association can be a pleasant and rewarding task which incurs the appreciation and admiration of neighbors and fellow owners. If there is any secret to making this happen, it is to be completely open and treat everyone in the association equally, without exceptions.
 
Many people, when faced with a community of unhappy owners or members, close off and try to avoid letting the community know what probems exist. This is especially true when the leaders have some fault in the matter. The real solution, however, is to bring the community into the situation so that everyone can contribute to the solutions. When you do that and everyone has an equal voice, no one can complain about the results. If you deviate from that even a little bit, then you will be faced with the onslaught of requests for exceptions and complaints about unfair treatment. Yes, it is that simple. Don't play favorites. Don't makes exceptions. Make reasonable rules and follow them.
 
With that said, we encourage you to look around this website for resources and guidance on how to keep your association smooth-running and peaceful.
