On The Commons is a weekly radio show dedicated to discussing the many issues surrounding mandatory homeowner associations, the fastest growing form of residential housing in the nation.
One of the features of a common ownership development is property that is owned in common by the owners in the development. Common property can range from streets, gates, parks and ponds to recreational facilities like tennis courts and swimming pools. And, as can be expected, they will all, at some point, require major repairs. Are associations adequately prepared for these expected repairs? What happens when there isn't enough money in the kitty to cover these costs? And how do potential homebuyers determine whether their dream home will be costing them more than they bargained for?
