Betsy,

I sent certified letters and pictures to each

board member with an inquiry about their

idea to build a carport in front of my view.

What if the board does not send the required

“substantive response” to my question and

just ignores it? I couldn’t find that answer in

the statutes or my condo documents.

— Cynthia

Cynthia:

My interpretation of “substantive response” is one

that satisfies the inquirer! It appears the recourse

for not receiving a response is arbitration. With regard

to the “view,” unless you purchased the view,

you do not have a right to a view. If you purchased

a view, you know so because of the marketing materials

or the price you paid for the location of the

unit (facing the water or golf course rather than

the road or dump). “Purchasing” a view is entirely

different than “having” a view.

Hi Betsy,

I am a realtor who is ready to go in a different

direction and recently received my CAM

license. I’m excited and eager to learn how

to start my own business offering CAM

services. I have been having difficulties

researching how to make my dream of CAM

management come true. There doesn’t

seem to be much information out there to

help me until I came across your website.

Any advice would be helpful and truly appreciated

thank you for your time.

— Amanda

Amanda:

Congratulations on getting your CAM license.

The industry is full of job opportunities.

There are many opportunities within the

CAM industry other than being “the” manager.

Entry and mid-level positions exist in every

management company as well as many of the

larger communities.

As in any industry, you have to get involved.

You will want to join your local CAI chapter and

the state organization, FCAP. Right now, there

are many trade shows that will give you an idea

of all those opportunities as well as a chance to

meet key people from management companies

and communities seeking managers. Take advantage

of all the free articles on my website.

You’ll want to subscribe to The Journal at www.

fcapgroup.com and Property Management

Magazine at www.propertymanagementmagazine.com

and join your local CAI chapter at

www.caionline.org. Also be sure to subscribe to

our YouTube channel CAM Matters www.You-

Betsy,

I don’t find an answer for this situation in our

documents and would like your opinion.

A renter is violating certain rules. It is my

understanding the owner (not renter) is

always given notice of the violation since

the owner is a member of the association

not the renter. The owner is insisting the

association communicate directly with the

renter for rules enforcement. Is the association

responsible for sending duplicating

information to both owner and renter? Or is

the owner fully responsible for their tenant?

— Kelly

Kelly:

I would agree with you that communications

about violations (and fines) are sent to the

owner. The association Declaration (contract)

is with the owner, not the renter. I would agree

it’s the owners’ responsibility to make sure the

renters know the rules, etc. In the condominium

statute, the legislators now give a tenant

the ability to access certain records of the association

– the declaration, bylaws, and rules.

Though I believe this is fundamentally wrong

on so many levels, it is the law right now.

To settle the question, your board of directors

should create a written violation policy

which would include methods of notification

and to whom.

— Betsy

Betsy,

Our management contract allows us to

“contract for utilities” but the contract must

have a 30-day out clause which our new

waste management company does not

include but appears to be 90 days. I believe

our license allows us to sign up to 1-year

contracts; at least that is what I remember

from class, but I can’t find that in the law.

So, does this waste management contract

need board approval or does our license

allow the management company to sign?

— Chris

Chris:

When you say ‘our license’ do you mean the

CAM license? The CAM license does not say

anything about managers or management companies

signing contracts or make any type stipulations/restrictions.

I am not aware of either the

CAM or CAB license giving permission to sign

contracts of any kind/length/terms.

My opinion would be that managers and

management companies should never sign a

contract or other legally binding document on

behalf of a community. The only thing I sign

is the estoppel. Even though the management

contract may allow you to contract for utilities,

I would always have the board vote on any contracts

and have the president sign.

— Betsy
