​​​​Wednesday, Nov. 14, 2018, 2 ̶ 3 p.m. ET  ̶   Pet or Prescription? Emotional Support Animals and the Fair Housing Act​

Pets are common in many community associations, but how do you know when a furry friend qualifies as a medically prescribed emotional support animal? Trying to spot the difference can be difficult and making the wrong assumption can jeopardize relationships between association board members, managers, and residents—and put you at risk for potential lawsuits.

Learn the differences between emotional support, therapy, and service animals; get full details on the federal Fair Housing Act’s requirements; and how you and your community should proceed with written requests from residents documenting support animals.​

    Up in the Air: Community Associations and Drones2:00 PM EDT- 3:00 PM EDT
    Drones are becoming increasingly common, as a hobby, a tool for property inspection, a means of supervising contractors and as delivery vehicles. They’re also controversial and a source of tension concerning government information gathering. This webinar explores potential risks and opportunities for community associations, including how associations can effectively manage and regulate this new technology.

    Know Your Boundaries: How to Prevent the Unauthorized Practice of Law by Managers2:00 PM EDT- 3:00 PM EDT
    Some association boards pressure managers to handle legal matters as a way to save money. However, what would appear to be something simple, like filling in blanks on a contract or adding a comma in a bylaws amendment, can expose an association to liability. A clear separation of functions that can be handled by managers and work that should be done by lawyers can help an association avoid unnecessary attorneys’ fees and court costs.

    Tight Budgets, Tough Choices: Keeping Your Community Association Fully Funded2:00 PM EDT- 3:00 PM EDT
    Many association-governed communities in the United States are underfunded, based on data from approximately 8,400 reserve studies completed between 2010 and 2012. That means communities haven’t set aside enough money to offset common-area deterioration and won’t have enough money in reserve to make repairs and replacements in a timely manner. While many states don’t require associations to maintain adequate reserve funds, failing to properly fund reserves is never a wise decision. In this webinar, two experts discuss the challenge of making tough budget choices when money is tight.
