New Laws Severely Debilitating to Associations
I am a manager of multiple community associations. The new laws, in particular last year's changes, are extremely slanted against associations and in favor of owners. The time and hoops to jump through for a manager to effect enforcement are not built into many manager's business models. They can't process the policies while also continuing effective management, forcing them to pass on the need/costs to an association's lawyer. Consequentially, the cost to process violations, not to mention if you can even get to a consequence that is enough of a deterrent to cause the action or inaction to stop, is not financially viable for many associations. The result is owners now know there's basically no significant consequence for violations. The laws have removed the teeth from enforcement.
