Entering in case of emergency is pretty standard in any multi-unit building. It's what gives the firefighters permission to put out fires. It also allows the management to come turn off the water from your leaky pipe that is flooding out your neighbor while you are on vacation.
Homes in Texas can be foreclosed upon based on a lien placed again your property for failing to pay your HOA dues.
HOA dues cover a plethora of different items and a wide range of services at varying costs. That is why the seller is required to provide a potential buyer with a copy of the HOA rules for review.
Your realtor should be able to help you discern what is boilerplate and what is a significant provision setting it apart from the rest. - Mon Sep 14 2009, 22:52
