Key Considerations for all Condo Templates:

  • Check Your Condo Documents: Always, always, always refer to your specific Condominium Declaration, Bylaws, and Rules & Regulations. These templates are general, and your association may have specific forms, procedures, or required wording.
  • Be Specific: The more precise you are with details, dates, and purposes, the smoother the process will be.
  • Attach Supporting Documents: If a template mentions attaching documents, ensure you do so. Missing documents are the most common cause of delays.
  • Keep Copies: Always keep a copy of what you send for your records.
  • Method of Delivery: Send via certified mail, email with read receipt, or hand-deliver and get a signed receipt, especially for critical requests.

These templates should give you a great starting point for various communications with your condo association!
