FAQ

Inium associations in Chicago are primarily regulated by state law, specifically the Illinois inium Property Act (ICPA). This act governs the creation, management and dissolution of iniums in Chicago and throughout Illinois.

Understanding HOA Receivership What happens if no one runs for the HOA board? The association will likely go into receivership. Any homeowner or creditor can take legal action against the HOA. Once it is clear that no one on the board will serve as the association's representative, the court will appoint a receiver.

The Illinois General Not for Profit Corporation Act, which governs the vast majority of associations, requires that the board of directors of a corporation consist of three or more directors with the number of directors established in the bylaws.

General amendments to inium instruments are governed by Section 27 of the Illinois inium Property Act, which states that an affirmative vote of 2/3 of voting unit owners must approve amendments, unless the inium instruments provide for some other majority vote somewhere between 50% and 75%.

HOA Board Membership Numbers Typically, a board needs at least three members, but the maximum size will depend on state laws and the governing policies. HOA boards can expand where the demands and scope of the association increase due to new homes in the neighborhood or a larger number of residents.

Most governing bodies also don't take complaints unless they are specific to their jurisdiction or have evidence to back up their claims. If a homeowner suspects their HOA is doing something illegal, it is best to report it to local authorities. Other than that, homeowners may need to seek advice from a lawyer.

Whereas single-family homes are governed by a homeowners association, a inium development is governed by a COA. What is COA? Simply put, COA means inium owners association. This COA and its member homeowners work together to maintain the value of the units and shared common elements.

Most homeowners associations are governed by either the Illinois inium Property Act or the Illinois Common Interest Community Association Act.
