Description

Condominium and Property Owners' Association Acts; insurance; deposit of funds; charges for and delivery of resale certificates/disclosure packets. Requires any managing agent of a condominium and property owners' association to keep funds deposited with the managing agent in fiduciary trust accounts in a federally insured financial institution, and to keep such funds segregated from other assets of the managing agent. The bill also requires condominium associations to obtain a blanket fidelity bond or employee dishonesty insurance policy in a minimum amount of $10,000. The bill allows condominium and property owners' associations to collect a fee for preparation of a resale certificate or disclosure packet, respectively, if the fee is established in the contract between the association and its managing agent and the fee is disclosed on the website of either the association or the managing agent. The bill requires the prompt payment of the above fee to the managing agent who furnishes the resale certificate/disclosure packet. The bill allows either type of association to deliver the resale certificate/disclosure packet by electronic means unless the purchaser or seller requests a paper copy. Currently, delivery by electronic means can only be done with the consent of the seller or purchaser. The bill contains technical amendments. Read the Bill »
