FAQ

Homeowners within the community elect a board of directors to oversee the association and enforce the community's CC&Rs (covenants, conditions, and restrictions).

The process to dissolve a inium association in Massachusetts generally includes a vote by unit owners in ance with the rules set out in the governing documents, followed by the legal dissolution procedures such as settling debts and distributing any remaining assets.

The state administrative code requires the co-owners' association to maintain a reserve fund which, at a minimum, shall be equal to 10% of the association's current annual budget on a noncumulative basis. The funds shall only be used for major repairs and replacement of common elements.

This section provides that all unit owners own an undivided interest in the common areas. The inium form of ownership combines title in specific units with an undivided interest—with other owners—in the common areas.

The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) has weighed in by requiring approved inium projects to have at least 10% of the annual operating budget set aside for reserves. However, that percentage is arbitrary and is usually never enough for an association that has to paint and replace roofs.

What Are My Rights as a Condo Owner? As a condo owner, you have the right to use your unit as provided in the master deed – if it's a residential inium unit – in a way that allows you to maintain a reasonable standard of living as required by Massachusetts health, safety and building laws.
