Getting out of an association is only possible by selling your unit to a new buyer.

"Feeling like you're being taken advantage of..." is possible if you are new to condominium ownership, or do not fully understand the covenants, conditions, restrictions, regulations or by-laws that govern your association.

Best practices dictate that you educate yourself about the business affairs of the association, read your governing documents, and identify the rights and responsibilities of every owner.

Further, elected board members -- or those appointed by the developer -- also have rights and responsibilities. These are based in state condominium law.

When you fully understand what it means to live in a private democracy known as a condominium association, you can most effectively defend yourself against 'being taken advantage of' by anyone: another owner or board member.

What is the difference between a Condominium Homeowners Association and a Townhouse or Plan Unit Development Homeowners Association?

A condo or townhouse Homeowners' Association (HOA) governs a group of condos, wherein the association is responsible for the maintenance of the outside of the building(s), landscaping, and utilities, in addition to maintaining common areas and enforcement of the CC&Rs. This is because the properties being governed are condos and not houses. A planned unit development (PUD) HOA is responsible for ensuring compliance with the CC&Rs of the PUD and upkeep of any common areas in the PUD. However, individual owners maintain their homes and land, as each lot in the PUD is individually owned.

Can you be a president of the condominium association when you are a community license agent?

So long as y our licensing work holds no conflict of interest with your volunteer work as an association president, this should be workable. Be aware, however, that you may not influence the association in any way in any matter involving a community license for that association. If such a topic comes up, you must recuse yourself from any dialog and any vote, noting your conflict.

Can a condo association President vote for unbuilt units If so is he responsible to pay association fees and special assessments for the voted units?

Your answer is complex, and requires precise definitions. Usually, unbuilt units have no voting rights, because there is no allocated interest in the association's assets for unbuilt units. If the association president is not the developer, the president has no vested interest in voting for units the president does not own. If the president is the developer, the developer may be able to exude development or declarant's rights that address unbuilt units. Your best answer will be available from an association-savvy attorney in your local area. Be prepared to show evidence of the motions being voted upon and who is voting, based on what authority. Bottom line, it appears to be patently unfair for current owners to be burdened financially for unbuilt units, if no one else is paying the allocated interest share for those units.
