					  <link>http://njcooperator.com/articles/770/1/Collecting-Unpaid-Debts/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;Consider the following all-too-common scenario: your condominium association has
&nbsp;one delinquent unit owner who owes three months of common charges totaling
&nbsp;$915.00 before late fees. Statements have been sent without response, and
&nbsp;telephone calls are not being answered. If you're like most buildings, your
&nbsp;operating expenses hinge on reliable cash inflow from owners' fees every month&#8212;and that $915.00 is being sorely missed. What steps can your building take to
&nbsp;collect this debt?

					  <link>http://njcooperator.com/articles/768/1/Watch-Your-Mouth/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;In the course of human events, it's almost inevitable that somewhere, at some
&nbsp;point, tempers will flare and someone will say something awful about someone
&nbsp;else. It can happen after the PTA meeting, in the gym, at the office...even in
&nbsp;one's own condo building or co-op. Heated exchanges and personal vendettas are
&nbsp;unpleasant and can make for an acrimonious building environment, which is bad
&nbsp;enough&mdash;but what happens when the words do more than just sting or insult? What happens
&nbsp;when it's more than just an offhandedly rude remark, or when it's ongoing?

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;The township of Little Falls, named for the beautiful Passaic River waterfall that spills downstream from a dam in front of the former
&nbsp;Beattie Carpet Mill, traces its heritage to 1711. The nearly three-square-mile
&nbsp;town is bordered by the communities of Montclair, Wayne, Totowa, Woodland Park,
&nbsp;North Caldwell, Fairfield and Clifton.

					  <link>http://njcooperator.com/articles/766/1/Can-We-Go-Green/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;As gasoline prices rise with increasing summer demand, American thoughts focus
&nbsp;sharply on the cost of energy and ways to trim fat from their overall energy
&nbsp;budgets. Yet for the nation&rsquo;s nearly sixty million condo dwellers, considering newer energy-saving options
&nbsp;can be a tricky proposition at best. While some condos or co-ops move rapidly
&nbsp;to adopt the latest green technologies, many associations, still governed by
&nbsp;documents drafted decades in the past, may be burdened with legal language that
&nbsp;expressly prohibits their communities from making a variety of
&nbsp;environmentally-friendly updates. However, recent changes in the law are now
&nbsp;eliminating many of the prohibitions that condos and HOAs had on the books.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;Condo, HOA, and co-op boards are generally made up of volunteers&mdash;and they're frequently a pretty diverse group. There&rsquo;s the stay-at-home mom who&rsquo;s looking to get involved with something beyond homework and housework. There&rsquo;s also the young doctor who just moved into the building and immediately took an
&nbsp;interest. Or perhaps there's the retired school bus driver who's got a green
&nbsp;thumb and delights in chairing the landscaping committee each spring. No matter
&nbsp;what their background, most board members share a genuine desire to serve their
&nbsp;building community and have a hand in the way it&rsquo;s governed. What they may not have in common is a firm grasp of the law and the
&nbsp;legal implications of their decisions as board members.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;Remember that thick stack of documents you received when you bought your condo
&nbsp;or co-op? If you're like most people, they're probably sitting in a drawer or
&nbsp;in the back of your filing cabinet, communing with the dust bunnies, largely
&nbsp;forgotten.
