Wednesday, May 8​, 2019, 2 ̶ 3 p.m. ET   ̶   Turning the Big 3-0! Creating a Plan for Aging Community Buildings​

​May Webinar.jpgWhere were you in the 1980s? Many condominium buildings and homes within community associations were built during that decade, making them 30 years old today and nearing their expected useful life. Learn about the evolution of building technology since the 1980s, common concerns from residents who live in aging buildings and homes, and how to address the future of 30-year-old structures. Reaching 30 years old is an important milestone for any community. Creating a plan to address liability and necessary upgrades ensures many more years of success!​

​​Snap 2019-04-19 at 14.53.41.pngThe United States Supreme Court recently issued its decision in Obduskey v. McCarthy & Holthus LLP, holding that a law firm that sent a letter in connection with a nonjudicial foreclosure proceeding was not acting as a "debt collector" under the FDCPA. But questions remain about the breadth of the holding in Obduskey. Does it stand for the broad proposition that no letter sent in connection with a nonjudicial foreclosure proceeding is ever subject to the FDCPA? Or is its holding much narrower? In this webinar, hear the perspective of two leading FDCPA defense attorneys who submitted an amicus curiae (friend-of-the-court) brief to the Supreme Court on the Obduskey matter.

    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.
