Welcome fellow condo owners. Frustrated by being kept in the dark, surprise fee increases and assessments, inconsistent decision making, not being heard, and lack of accountability. We understand your concerns.
We too are condo owners who have tried a variety of things to address issues within our own condo communities. We are familiar with General Law Chapter 183A and found that ultimately owners’ only recourse is the court system, which is a costly and lengthy process.
Our Vision: We aspire to advocate for condo owners’ rights in Massachusetts through the Condominium Owners’ Rights Act. We believe it is time to update the 1963 condominium statute to provide condo owners with the tools they need to resolve issues and protect their rights.
Our Goal: To strengthen the existing condominium law to secure individual owners’ rights to information and more access to non-judicial dispute resolution. We wish to grow our number of like-minded owners and work with state legislators and others interested in advancing the solutions we propose.
