					  <title><![CDATA[Q&amp;A: Is Foreclosed Homeowner Responsible for Past Unpaid Dues?]]></title>
					  <link>http://condomagazines.com/articles/274/1/QampA-Is-Foreclosed-Homeowner-Responsible-for-Past-Unpaid-Dues/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[A couple owns a home that is part of a homeowner association and they get behind
&nbsp;on their monthly condominium dues. In the meantime, they also get behind on
&nbsp;their mortgage and the bank forecloses on the home. The homeowner association
&nbsp;is still seeking to collect the association dues from the couple. Is the couple responsible for thepast HOA dues or does the foreclosure extinguish the HOA's dues payments
&nbsp;altogether? Who should be responsible for the HOA dues &#8211; the former owner (i.e. the couple) or the new buyer?

					  <description><![CDATA[Four million people visit Portland, Maine each year. But don&rsquo;t picture lobster bibs and sunburned summer tourists. The largest city in Maine
&nbsp;is not known for its fish shacks, candy stores or beaches. The center of both
&nbsp;commerce and culture in Maine, Portland is a thriving small cosmopolitan city.
&nbsp;With a world-class symphony and art museum, nationally-ranked restaurants, more than 40 languages
&nbsp;spoken in the public schools, and industries from insurance to semi-conductors,
&nbsp;Portland is an old city with a new beat.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;On July 1, 2010, a variety of sweeping changes to Connecticut&rsquo;s Common Interest Ownership Act will take effect, and associations throughout
&nbsp;the state will need to change the way they approach building management. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s the biggest change to Connecticut condo law in 25 years,&rdquo; says attorney Adam J. Cohen, the chairman of community law with Pullman &amp; Comley in Bridgeport.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;To disclose or not to disclose? That is the question community association
&nbsp;boards wrestle with on a regular basis. If homeowners want to see the
&nbsp;association&rsquo;s financial records, should the books be open to them? What about a list of
&nbsp;owners who are in arrears with their condo fees? Or details of the current
&nbsp;snowplowing contract? Should boards let neighbors know that a registered sex
&nbsp;offender has moved into the community? What if an association employee is under
&nbsp;investigation for stealing or other criminal activity?

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;For board members, the time spent serving their association and fellow residents
&nbsp;can be among the most strenuous yet rewarding periods in their lives. For
&nbsp;years, they make decisions that affect their community in the present and may
&nbsp;continue to impact them years down the road.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;For most people, &ldquo;foaming at the mouth&rdquo; is just an expression. Attorney Ellen Hirsch de Haan has encountered the real
&nbsp;thing &ndash; and not at an animal shelter, but at a condominium owners&rsquo; meeting.
