Can your condo charge you for payment reminders?
Can your HOA or property management company charge you a fee for sending a reminder letter to pay your maintenance fees? Does a condo board have to put up with an owner who makes too many records requests? What can you do if you get elected to your community board, but the other members don't invite you to meetings?
Can bad board voting put a condo association in a lawsuit?
I'm on my condo board in Colorado. The board will vote on a 7 year contract even though our bylaws say a contract can only be 5 years and the attorney has made this clear. As a board member who will vote no, am I personally liable if we are sued? Should I resign from the board to avoid liablity? I would consider this gross neglegence if it passes - would the D&O insurance protect me if I vote no?

HOAs and Pests – Who is Responsible for Eradication? Broken Screens?
Recently, wasps entered my unit via a broken screen on our kitchen exhaust vent outside the unit. The
exhaust vent is on the second floor. The HOA manager hired an exterminator to repair the screen and kill the nest but stuck me with the bill. She says the vent screen is exclusive to the unit and not part of the common area. But the screen broke because of neglect … and failure to maintain the screens. The CC&Rs are inconclusive and the manager claims that the HOA is responsible for only “wood-destroying” pests like termites. So, is this exhaust vent part of common area or every unit’s responsibility for maintaining the vent screens? It doesn’t make sense to me that each owner needs to climb up the side walls to fix vent screens as they are uniform to the complex structure.”
