Association Basics

1. I am not able to contact my board of directors. How can I get answers to my questions?

If you are unable to contact your board of directors, you may reach out to your management company for information.

2. How do I file a complaint against my management company or association?

If the association fails to adhere to Maryland State Statues (Statutes) contact the Maryland Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division in Prince George’s County, 9200 Basil Court, Suite 301, Largo, MD 20774 at 301-386-6200.

3. There is a leak in my condominium unit. Who is responsible?

You should contact your board of directors to determine where the leak is coming from and who is responsible for the repair.

4. There is erosion in my yard. Who is responsible?
