Potential homeowners should have to sign the house rules that they understand and will abide by them

I owned a condo in Breckenridge Colorado, I have one in Florida and I live in New York. I have a lot of experience with co-ops and condos. We don’t really have a choice per se, but they operate similarly. At each of those places I had a copy of the house rules prior to signing the contract, and when it got closer to the closing date, I had to be interviewed.(in NY and FL) By the board members. It was less of an interview -more of a meet and greet,- but one of the obligations was that I had to discuss the house rules with the board and then sign the letter, saying I understood them and agreed. It really minimizes the issues later on, when someone says I didn’t know! Because there is no reason not to know. Might be something to consider. Knowing where the guest parking is, knowing who to send your monthly, check to, when elections are held, are there, committees for projects, all those things are really helpful in creating a sense of community. And when you think about it, people come from all walks of life and all industries, and have all types of work experiences that could be so helpful to the board. Not everyone wants to be on a board, but to be a volunteer for specific project, that would be very helpful.
