The costs and benefits of association living

Condominium and townhome ownership is becoming an increasingly popular form of property ownership. Like traditional home-ownership, condominium ownership provides a practical and desirable investment vehicle. Yet, unlike traditional methods of property ownership, condominium owners can benefit from common ownership and maintenance of certain facets of their property, thus relieving the unit owner from some of the burdens of traditional ownership.

However, because condominium developments necessarily involve a sometimes complicated interplay between private and common ownership, unique legal issues can often arise. Moreover, because condominium ownership has only recently become very popular, some states (such as Iowa) have only very basic laws in this area. While this is not the case in other areas of the country, either situation can cause complicated legal problems which may require the assistance of an attorney.
