Depending on the status of the unpaid assessments, you may need or want to write them off as bad debt.

If collection efforts are ongoing to recover the debt, I would not write them off, but as a conservative treasurer, I would discount them and consider something less than 100% of that value is projected revenue.


If there are no collection efforts, or if those efforts have failed, you may be able to write them off. Your governing documents will guide you, as will your individual state law.


The key is to keep a wide trail and document whatever action the board opts to take in this case.

Does title insurance protect the buyer of property against subsequent claims for unpaid condo fees?

Title insurance protects a buyer in the sense that the title insurer has scoured all public records to determine whether or not the title is 'clean', that is free from claims, encumbrance or other clouds. If the association has filed a lien against the seller for unpaid assessments, this will be a public record that the title company can find. Without a lien, the new buyer should not be subjected to the debt of a seller's unpaid assessments. If the association is billing you for unpaid assessments owed by a previous owner, you can take this evidence to a common interest community attorney who can write to the association and notify it that the debt is not yours.


You inherited a condo and do not want it nor can the market support a sale It is paid off with no outstanding bank loan What happens if you walk away from it?

Although there is no lender involved, you still owe monthly assessment payments on the condominium property.If you abandon it, eventually, the condominium association could foreclose on the property and force a sale to collect the debt that mounts from unpaid assessments.A better idea might be to donate the title to a charity with the understanding that the monthly assessments are payable.The charity can rent the property, sell the property or otherwise manage it as a valuable asset, which it is.Speak with your tax attorney: in donating it, you may be able to write off its value on your taxes.


How to write a personal letter of reference for a condominium association?

Any letter of reference, regardless of who you're writing it to, should contain roughly the same information. One idea is that you write the letter using the salutation, To Whom It May Concern. You most properly address a condominium association by addressing a letter to the Board of Directors of the corporation, usually in care of the management company.


How do you write a condonation letter for partially unpaid loans?

What is the financial responsibility of California condo owner in earthquakes?

You can find the answer you need in your governing documents.California's condominium law may define default lines of ownership, indicating where a unit owner's ownership ends and the condominium association's ownership begins.Your governing documents may change, alter re-state or otherwise amend these state default ownership lines.The association's master insurance policy may or may not include earthquake coverage. And your homeowner's insurance may or may not include earthquake coverage.Finally, the insurance deductible for earthquake repair is usually a separate deductible (from the master policy deductible), and is generally substantial. The association may or may not have included this higher deductible in your monthly assessments -- usually not; you may or may not have the liquid assets necessary to be able to write a deductible check.In the event of an earthquake, you can work with your board to determine who has the responsibility to repair -- the owner or the association; and who has the responsibility to pay for the repair -- the owner or the association.Working through this scenario for your unit and for your association is a good exercise, so that all parties involved understand before an earthquake occurs, who is responsible for what and the dollar amounts involved.California is 'earthquake country' with the entire state being labeled as 'high risk' and 'lower risk' and none of it labeled as 'no risk'.
