Your answer depends on several variables, including your governing documents and any amendments or By-laws that address rentals. If they are silent, please consider:

  • One key issue with rentals in condominium associations is this: Mortgage lenders will not loan money to buyers to buy into the association if more than 50% of the units are rented, based on the current Fred/Fan guidelines.

If the rental number is too high, this means that units can only be sold for cash.

  • Another issue is finding viable candidates to volunteer for board membership.

If too many units are rented, owner/occupied units are usually those with residents willing to serve.

  • Another is the 'pride of ownership' issue: most tenants have none.
  • Finally, because tenants deal with individual owners as landlords and not with the association, many people who cannot pass screening processes -- financial, background, and so forth -- approach individual landlords, and charm them into rental situations.

This puts the entire community at risk.

In your situation, ask a board member or the property manager what the limit -- rental cap -- is for your association, and work with them to rent your unit in ways that will take the association and your co-owners into account.

This is the best way to protect your investment in the unit that you own.

How much should I be paying for condo insurance?

The value of your insurance depends upon the value of your condo. The important thing is that you have enough insurance to replace the condo. If you got the condo for a low price many years ago you can't insure it for that because you'd not be able to get another to replace if it were destroyed. The cost of the insurance on yor condo is based on several factors. In some cases your condo association will dictate the amount of coverage you must have.


Who takes care of the condominium and the grounds?

generally this is going to be your homeowners association within the condo, although it can many times be managed by a professional management company. I personally live in a PUD (Planned Unit Development) community, which is very similar to a condo complex. In my neighborhood, all of our property maintenance and insurance issues are handled through the HOA. If all else fails, you could contact your condo association and ask them. hope this helps!


How do you get around a rule by the tenants in a condo?

"...A rule by the tenants" can have many interpretations. For example, are the foxes -- tenants -- running the hen house? Or, are there too many rented units? Are tenants making rules? Whatever the complaint, take it to the board in writing and show that there is a violation of the governing documents. Ask for time on the next board meeting agenda to explain your complaint. The board is then chartered to correct the issue, if there is a violation.
