Condominiums

    What is a condominium resort?

    Generally the term 'condominium resort' refers to a collection of residences built in a resort area. A unit in the complex may be referred to a 'resort condominium'.

    Sometimes the governing documents require that the residence be available for rent for a fixed minimum number of days or weeks during the year.

    A resort condominium has several possibilities. It can be operated as a hotel, offering short term rentals, and which maintains a front desk. That would allow someone to own a full-service vacation home. It can take the form of separate vacation rentals where owners can buy single units as an investment and rent them out to vacationers. It can also take the form of a time share fee ownership where owners can buy permanent use in the form of weekly increments.

    What is the role of the secretary of a condominium resort?

    Your governing documents should clearly state what is expected from the Secretary. Generally, your responsibilities include drafting board meeting minutes, circulating them among the board members before sending them to the membership, and making them available to anyone legally allowed to read them.Board meeting minutes are the written history of the association's business affairs.

    What is the legal difference between a hotel and a condominium resort?

    Legally, a hotel is owned by a single owner and the property managed for the benefit of both the owner and guests. Each condominium unit is owned individually, and its association manages the business of the condominium.
