Frequently Asked Questions About Multi-Condominium Associations
What is a multi-condominium association?
A multi-condominium association administers more than one condominium property through a unified association or operational structure. The legal and financial treatment of each condominium and shared property depends on the governing documents and applicable law.
What legal services does Hamilton Mikes provide to multi-condominium associations?
We advise on governance, meetings, elections, statutory compliance, shared facilities, contracts, budgeting, reserves, special assessments, cost allocation, insurance, construction, official records, and disputes.
How should expenses be allocated among multiple condominiums?
Expense allocation depends on the governing documents, ownership and use of the property, applicable statutory requirements, cost-sharing provisions, and whether an expense benefits one condominium, several condominiums, or the association as a whole.
Can reserves be shared among the condominiums?
Reserve administration requires review of the association’s structure, governing documents, budgets, applicable law, the asset involved, and the owners responsible for that asset. Boards should obtain tailored legal and accounting advice before combining or reallocating reserve responsibilities.
Who controls shared recreational facilities and infrastructure?
Control and maintenance may depend on ownership, easements, declarations, shared-facility provisions, contracts, budgets, and the authority assigned to the association or individual condominiums.
Does each condominium require separate financial treatment?
The answer depends on the community’s organizational and documentary structure and applicable legal requirements. Multi-condominium budgeting and financial reporting should accurately reflect the expenses and obligations attributable to the relevant condominium properties.
