Hey all,
Just a quick question regarding regulations that govern condominium associations. I have just become aware that the condo association is raising our condo fees again. This is the second year in a row that they have been raised with no apparent justifiable reason for the increase. I received a copy of the proposed budget for next year(I am a unit owner) and something just doesn't add up. 6000$ a month for water??? Rediculous. My question is this: Does anybody know if there is a legal body that one can complain to or request an investigation from for condo association practices. Any advice will be great. I am in the communistwealth(commonwealth) of Virginia. (We are not even good enough to be called a state).

Mike,
Having been involved in the same in the past, you best defense is to become part of the Homeowners Association board. Get involved. In the CCR they have to right to raise the fees by a vote of the board.
I wouldn't complain to anybody outside unless you can prove missmanagement. Call and talk to the board members, you or your peers voted them in. As homeowners also, i doubt they liek the fact that they have to raise the fees to cover the expenses.
Good luck. |
