Do condominiums need property management companies?

It depends.

If you are a six-unit conversion of a brownstone on the upper east side of Manhattan and you've all lived in the building for 20 years and kept the property in good repair -- maybe not.

If you're a new complex with multiple buildings, a mixed-use development with residential and commercial, have a clubhouse, pool or putting green -- maybe yes.

Everyone in between: the association needs to make this decision.

These are the advantages of hiring a property manager (who knows that they're doing):

  • They offer a buffer between board members and neighbors
  • They can help the board honour the governing documents and abide by the state law that governs condominiums and possibly non-profit corporations
  • They can handle your finances and produce financial reports in the standard modified accrual method
  • They can offer a wider selection of vendors
  • They have experience working with recalcitrant owners who don't like to pay assessments, so they don't pay them
  • They can collect the names of tenants
  • They can send violation notices and enforce the governing documents

Unless someone on the board is more or less willing to devote full time to operating the business -- usually a multi-million dollar corporation, a condominium-centric property manager is a vendor that most associations prefer to hire.

Key is finding a property manager knowledgeable in managing condominium properties. A rental-centric property manager can generally be a waste of money, since without an understanding of governing documents and local state condominium law, this vendor can only offer a false sense of security to the association.

Can you fire property management company if they do not return calls and bring a lawyer to the meeting and charge homeowners?

The short answer is, yes.

Any vendor hired by an association can be fired by the association -- a board action -- for any reason, sometimes no reason. Read your contract to determine penalties that might be due upon dismissal of this vendor.

The longer answer depends on the circumstances. Here are a few items to consider:

  • Did the association sign any kind of services agreement with the lawyer? If not, then unless another contract binds the association to pay for services contracted for by the property manager, the association may not be liable for legal services.
  • What does your contract with the manager outline as a time limit for returning calls?

Caveat:

  • Your official response to this situation is different if you are an owner, than if you are a board member.

What is the Legal basis for creating a Property Owners Association?

From a real estate owners point of view, the legal basis is the land-use documents filed in the local hall of records defining the land use as an association -- condominium, co-op or home owners. These include the CC&Rs -- covenants, conditions, reservations and restrictions -- for the use of the land. Deeds of ownership, then, are based on this type of land-use.

Then, for the operation of the association -- as a legal basis for how it conducts its business, usually this is based in state corporate law. Associations can be for profit or non-profit, or unincorporated. These include Articles of Incorporation, which if they exist, reference the state corporate law that governs the business, and the By-laws, that describe the business rules.

Another Perspective

A property owner's association is created by a developer of a subdivision, planned community or condominium for the purpose of controlling the use of the property and maintaining its value and aesthetics. The legal basis for creating the property owner's association is land ownership. The developer owns the land and can impose restrictions and protective covenants under the provisions of state laws. Once the property owner's association has been imposed on the land by a recording of documents in the land records, purchasers have notice thereof and purchase their interests subject to the provisions of the property owner's association.
