Requesting access to condo records
In some condos, requesting to examine a condo corporation's documents can be as easy as
seeing the manager and telling her want to want to look at. If you are
lucky, you get a copy of what you want to see. No cost, no fuss, no bother, no
hard feelings.
At other condos, examining documents is harder than inspecting the documents for North Korea's nuclear missile program.
Request for Records
The
COA has a standard Request for Records pdf form that can be downloaded
from the Internet that is to be used to request records.
The form has nine pages much of it containing repetitive material.
