Lynda Horvat
Everybody who’s an owner of a condominium is a member of a community. And so they each have obligations not just to themselves, but to each other. And together, they form the association. And I think a lot of times that’s lost on unit owners, they feel like it’s them against the association, but they are one with the association. And so I think sometimes a little bit of decency and courtesy can go a long way and particularly now that people are very stressed out. They’re wondering how they’re going to make their maintenance fee payment. They’re stressed because they’re in a unit with other family members, they can’t get out. And so it’s easy for them to start to look at small things like maybe somebody’s not parking entirely in the middle of the two yellow lines, to make a problem, but I think they have to be conscientious of the fact that everybody’s going through some difficulty and that trying to make sure that there’s peace is very important. This is really a good time for them to actually take a moment to see how they can better protect their unit and the common elements for those boards.
