Overview:
All condominiums have an association where each unit is represented. This association elects a board of directors who are responsible for the operation of the condominium or association. Because of multiple members on this board, many opinions are expressed and many of those opinions are not correct, especially when it comes to fair housing issues. This training will provide guidance to the boards with correct and up to dates information so they do not run afoul of the regulations.
This seminar reviews the most recent rulings from HUD on topics that are used frequently in property management. They are the latest information available from HUD. Many times, HUD has not been direct on how they will handle a certain regulation. Recently HUD has clarified its stand in a new topic with either a ruling or memorandum. WE will discuss these items and how they affect property managers and owners.
