Description

A condominium is a combination of co-ownership and individual ownership. Those who own an apartment house or buy a condominium are co-owners of the land and of the halls, lobby, and other common areas, but each apartment in the building is individually owned by its occupant. In some States, the owners of the various units in the condominium have equal voice in the management and share an equal part of the expenses. In other States, control and liability for expenses are shared by a unit owner in the same ratio as the value of the unit bears to the value of the entire condominium project. The bigger condominium owners would have more say-so than the smaller condominium owners. In Texas, a Management Agreement between a Condominium Association and a Management company is a legal document that outlines the terms and conditions under which the Management company will provide services to the Association. This Agreement serves as a vital tool in governing the relationship between the Association and the Management company, ensuring effective property management and the smooth functioning of the condominium community. Elements of a typical Texas Management Agreement include: 1. Parties Involved: The Agreement identifies the Condominium Association as one party and the Management company as the other party. It also specifies their legal names and addresses for effective communication. 2. Services Provided: The Management Agreement outlines the specific services the Management company will provide to the Condominium Association. This may include financial management, maintenance and repairs, enforcement of community rules, vendor and contractor management, record-keeping, and communication with residents. 3. Compensation: The Agreement addresses the financial arrangements between the Condominium Association and the Management company. It specifies how and when the Management company will be compensated for its services, whether it is a flat fee, a percentage of collected dues, or a combination of both. 4. Term of Agreement: The Management Agreement states the duration for which the Agreement is valid. It may be a specific time frame, such as one year, or ongoing until terminated by either party with proper notice as outlined in the Agreement. 5. Termination: The Agreement outlines the circumstances under which either party may terminate the Agreement, such as breach of contract, non-performance, or violation of the terms and conditions. It also specifies the notice period required for termination. 6. Obligations of the Condominium Association: The Management Agreement details the responsibilities and obligations of the Condominium Association, such as providing necessary documents, granting access to Association records, and ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal laws. 7.
