Option to pay assessment over time 

 

Some homeowner associations give their members the option to pay their share of a special assessment over time, rather than in one-lump sum. This can be especially helpful to members when the association is imposing a large special assessment. Before a homeowner association decides to offer its members the option to pay their share of a special assessment over time, it should consult an attorney to find out whether the governing documents permit it. 

 

In most states, associations must pass a board resolution to impose a special assessment on its members. A resolution should include the amount of total assessment, tell members they can pay their share in lump sum, and set due date for such payments. It should also set a grace period for members who do not want to make a lump-sum payment, an interest rate that these members must pay, and penalties these members will incur if they default. 

 


 

Announcing special assessment to members 

 

From time to time, a community association may have to impose a special assessment on its members. Sometimes, members may balk at paying a special assessment, especially if they are on a fixed income. One way to prevent such a problem is to send a carefully worded letter to members announcing the special assessment. A letter should cover the following points as a minimum: tell the members that the board is imposing a special assessment and explains why it is necessary; cite an example of an unbudgeted expense that the board was able to pay without resorting to a special assessment; expresses the board’s regret for imposing the special assessment; explains payment options to making a lump-sum payment; warns member that they can be fined for late payment or nonpayment; and tell member whom to contact with any questions. 

 

Some states require associations to hold special meeting of the board or members before imposing a special assessment. Consult with your attorney to find out what your state’s law says. It is also advisable to show the letter to your attorney before adapting if for use at your HOA. 

 


 

Seller’s and buyer’s release and indemnification before providing resale disclosure packet 

 

Many HOAs and condominium associations give a resale disclosure packet to prospective member when an existing member is in contract to sell his unit but has not yet closed the sale. These packages can contain items such as the governing rules, annual budget, and so on, depending on the HOA. Providing a packet can help both the manager and association avoid problems association with disappointed buyers. Despite the benefits of providing a resale disclosure packet, many attorneys advise their clients against doing this unless the HOA is located in a state that requires an association to disclose certain facts to prospective buyers. 

 

The indemnification letter allows a condominium association to provide a resale disclosure packet to new member without rising liability. It gives you the permission of both the seller and buyer to provide a package; release the homeowners association form any liability for problems that anything in the packet might cause; and indemnifies the homeowners association against losses occurring as a result of anything in the packet. It is important that both the buyer and seller sign in before the HOA provides a resale disclosure packet. 

 


 

Member’s Access to Ballots and Other Election Records

After an election, HOA members often ask to inspect the ballots and other election records, such as sign-in sheets, ballots, proxies, and tabulations.  Usually, the people making these requests are candidates who were defeated in the election or people who voted for candidates who were defeated.

 

Although you must grant these requests for the most part, it is essential that you have control over the ballot-inspection process to minimize any time wasted by repetitive inspection requests of with an inspection that drags on for months.

 

A Ballot-Inspection Rules board resolution should be drafted to help you control condominium members’ access to ballots and other election records after the election is held.  The Resolution should specify particular treatment for secret ballots; require all ballot-inspection requests to be made in writing; set limitation on how often condo members can make ballot-inspection requests; who has authority to inspect ballots; specify the time by which requests must be made after an election; and set the time, place, and scope limitations on inspections.

It is the fate of the Property Manager to toil at the lower employments of life; to be rather driven by the fear of evil than attracted by the prospect of good; to be exposed to censure without hope of praise; to be disgraced by miscarriage or punished by neglect, where success would have been without applause and diligence without reward. While others may aspire to praise, the Property Manager can only hope to escape reproach, and even this negative recompense has yet been granted to very few.

As Property Managers, we all have learned primarily
