The key phrase in your question is 'shortage of funds'.

If the association borrows money from its owners to make repairs, then the owners and the association need a written agreement that details the repayment plan.

A more common and more sound approach dictates that the association levies a special assessment against all owners to pay for repairs and other services.

An association that operates with a 'shortage of funds' is not an association where units will be attractive to buyers.

Who assesses condominium owners?

Condominiums are corporations that operate living quarters, the shared exteriors and amenities for which are owned by all members of the condominium association. (The interior of the living units are owned individually). In order to operate the condominium property, individual unit owners pay monthly assessments to the association. The association uses these assessments to pay its bills, including insurance premiums, landscaping and property management services -- and more if the property has other amenities (pool, golf course, etc.), and to make a monthly contribution to reserves, which the association uses to pay to replace real estate assets at the end of the asset's useful life. The association is led by a board of directors. Part of their job is to develop an annual budget and collect assessments from every owner so that the expenses based on the budget can be paid.
