					  <description><![CDATA[Maria and her husband Jim own a suburban condo, but are moving out of the area because of Jim's new job. The couple love their home however, and are hoping one day that they will relocate back to the area. Alex loves his two-bedroom urban co-op, but he'll be on the road for his job for the next year and doesn't want to lose his residence either. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Most professionals in both the property management and bill-collection business agree: serious payment arrears don't happen all that often in HOAs, but when they do, it isn't pretty. Unpaid fees are more than just a hassle; they're a time-drain for managers and their administrative staff, they negatively impact the association's financial profile, and they can cause a lot of bad blood between residents, boards, and management. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Active, involved and concerned residents are essential to creating a strong community in any homeowners association. Even if you already have an enthusiastically involved resident population, don't overlook the importance of properly welcoming new residents and shareholders into your building or community. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Whether it's demanding residents or unreasonable board members, maintenance headaches or a barely-under-control work schedule, a property manager is in a unique&#8212;and uniquely stressful&#8212;position. No one knows this better than the property managers themselves. What might surprise the managers, however, is that of all the items listed above, taking care of their own mental health and learning proper stress-deflation methods ought to be a priority as well. ]]></description>

					  <link>http://njcooperator.com/articles/353/1/Following-Ancient-Rules/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[When considering rules and regulations for their community, board members must decide what is necessary versus what could be burdensome for their building's residents. Times change, as do community mores, population demographics, and individual wants and needs. Rules and regulations that once made sense and reflected the morals and standards of their day can become antiquated, irrelevant, or just plain silly after many years. ]]></description>

					  <link>http://njcooperator.com/articles/352/1/Privilegeor-Pain-in-the-Neck/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[Thousands upon thousands of people in New Jersey live in condos, HOAs or co-op buildings. Although it naturally varies from one development to another, many, possibly the majority, of association members pay very little if any attention to the actual business of their board or association. ]]></description>

					  <link>http://njcooperator.com/articles/351/1/Rules-of-the-House/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[Every condo and co-op community has rules and regulations by which residents and their guests must abide. For the most part, these rules are pretty straightforward: no smoking in common areas, no pets, no skateboarding in the courtyard, and so forth. Sometimes, however, the board of a homeowners association will try to implement a rule that is either unenforceable or oversteps its powers&#8212;or a board may try to level penalties against rule-breakers that are either unrealistic or legally unsound. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[For most people, after a long winter, warm weather cannot come soon enough. But, if you are a trustee in a community association or a property manager, spring means more than barbecues and patio furniture&#8212;it means tough decisions and expensive building repairs. Fortunately for New Jersey trustees, there's an event that can make those tough decisions a little easier on you and your wallet. On Wednesday, May 14, The New Jersey Cooperator is holding its premier Annual Condo, HOA & Co-op Expo, an event that offers valuable information and services to the condominium, townhouse and HOA communities. ]]></description>
