Summary

The law requires owners in condominiums, apartments and other common‑interest communities to receive a substantive response to a written inquiry within 30 days, with limited extensions for board review, complexity, or needed legal opinions. Associations must treat any legal or third‑party fees incurred as a shared expense and cannot assess them to individual owners. It also permits associations to set reasonable rules, such as limiting one inquiry per unit per 30‑day period, and allows prevailing parties in related disputes to recover attorney fees.
