QUESTION: Our treasurer wants to charge nonresident owners a fee on top of their association dues because he feels that they do not do a fair share of work on the property. Is that legal?
ANSWER: Associations cannot charge owners a fee because they don't volunteer to help. (
Civ. Code §5600.)
ASSISTANCE: Associations needing legal assistance can
contact us.
