Don’t be an Ass

By Darlys Walker

I believe through my weekly blogs that I have made my opinion very clear about when or if an Association/Board should consider incurring legal expenses by utilizing the services of an attorney!  Many times these expenses are absorbent and un-necessary.

 

For the record, let me be PERFECTLY CLEAR. When taking possession of a unit, CONSULT WITH THE ASSOCIATION ATTORNEY!!!

 

At NO time should the Board or the CAM assume anything pertaining to a unit. Don’t assume it’s abandoned, don’t assume any belongings within the unit are up for grabs or disposal and certainly don’t assume the Association has the right to place a tenant in a unit until all legal avenues have be thoroughly investigated and exhausted. The minimal amount of rent the Association could collect won’t compare to the potential lawsuit which might occur if a wrong assumption is made!

 

After all, we all know what happens when we ASSUME ….. don’t we?
