Talk about misconceptions and misunderstandings...the homeowners' association industry involving condominiums, shared amenity living, and shared responsibility is full of misconceptions and misunderstandings. The general public has processed its share from the negative "connotations" and bad press rampantly played out in the newspapers, magazines and tabloids, and even on TV and in the movies. The tabloids love a good "the board president was run over ten times by a resident who was not allowed to wash his car in the common area" story. X-files presented an episode based on a situation where the board eliminated (yes I mean that literally) owners who did not follow the "rules". And when Jerry Seinfeld's father became the subject of a nasty recall battle because he was suspected of pilfering association money when seen driving around in a new Cadillac purchased for him by his son, Jerry, the audiences loved it. Children are now exposed to it at an early age with the latest movie featuring "condo commandos" who seem to run the place without regard for the creatures just trying to find a good place to coexist with people.
So, are there answers to the questions and quandaries that arise? Yes, there are. And many can be found in THE CONDO ANSWER BOOK ... available now through Amazon.com.
