The residents in our condo building are in an uproar over an owner that rented her 1000 sq. ft condo unit to 3 adults plus two infants in a 2 bedroom. How can we legally set the occupancy limits in our condo? Our attorney states that as long as they are related by blood, there can be 10 people dwelling in a unit. I think this is absurd. Most of our condo is comprised of 1-2 people max. Each unit is alotted 1.5 parking spots. Already the renters have 3 cars in the lot after being told no more than 2 cars.

The owners of our condo do not feel it is fair that we are bearing the brunt of their water usage i.e., showers, etc. and laundry. What can we legally do about it. Prior to this they had 5 adults and a 2 year old. Our condo rules used to state: 2 adults per bedroom and somehow that was eliminated. HELP!!

A condo association unit owner recently began to run a home day care out of her unit without even notifying the Condo Association. We did find out that she is licensed and has some sort of insurance.

Our current condo association insurance agency told us that even though the unit owner has insurance, it is not enough and still leaves the condo association exposed to potention lawsuits. Our By-Laws state that the Units are to be used for "Residential Use Only". We have sent a "cease and desist" letter to her but she still continues to operate.

What is our recourse?  The unit owners do not want a Day Care run out of the Condo Association and do not want to be held liable.

Our condo association board of directors approved the 2009 HOA Budget and due to issues such as foreclosures, delinquencies, and dropping interest rates, our budgeted amount for reserves was instead used to pay increasing operational costs.

Are we obligated as a condo board to fulfill this budgeted item or just show on our balance sheet that we budgeted for "X" but only received "Y"? What, if any legal ramifications should we consider?
