A set of bylaws establishes how it is run, and the elected representative is responsible for all contacts with designated management company.
Typical rules create standards for the community’s common areas, the homeowners’ association’s responsibilities and requirements for the payment and collection of membership fees, maintaining landscaping; building maintenance and prohibit obstruction of building.
"By being a co-owner you automatically become part of the homeowners association, which controls how all homeowners can use their property and the common areas."
You have rights to discuss problems with the association’s representative, to participate in co-owner's meetings, and to resolve your dispute outside of court. When the co-owner agreements are not followed, you (as well as the homeowners’ association) can seek compliance, and can ultimately file a lawsuit when court enforcement is needed.
Your primary obligations are to pay the reserve fees on time, to follow the agreements, and, when selling your home, to provide the prospective buyer with certain documents.
