Legislature Passes New Homeowner’s Association Law
Icon Written by Jeff Bellamy on January 21, 2010 – 4:16 pm

By Jeffrey M. Bellamy, Esq. Provisions of a new law governing homeowners associations should not be plowed to the side like last winter’s snowfall. Builders and developers (and occasionally their counsel) can at times discount the importance of their HOA governing documents by recycling forms drafted 20 years ago or using documents obtained from colleagues […]
