Within the last 2 years there has been small but frequent (and anticipated another within 6 months) increases in our HOA Fees. Is there a formula or scale to alert an owner when the HOA Fees are getting into a "red zone" or "top-heavy" compared to the value of the individual condo unit.

A new owner moved in and refuses to pay the new owner fee of $1,000. It has been collected from new owners since 1986 with no problems. The original fee was stated only in the original "Offerng" but not in CCRs or bylaws; its increase to $1,000 was voted on and passed and in the minutes.

I have owned a condo in a 74 unit community for 3 years joining the board 1 year ago. The property has always been self-managed by a volunteer board.

I was just notified that beginning January 1,2018 I'd have to pay our Condo Management Payment by direct debit only! I've lived here for 18 years and always paid by check,now they say the ONLY method will be direct debit. Is this legal?
