With the rise of
housing costs in New Jersey, many are foregoing traditional home
buying and are choosing life in a common interest association
instead. That is, the percentage of New Jerseyans living in
condominium and cooperative associations has skyrocketed over the
past two (2) decades.
Urban sprawl has made
New Jersey Community Association Law exceedingly important in recent
years. This is evident in the ever-increasing number of new
developments seen everyday. Despite their growing importance, most
boards do not fully understand their responsibilities. Although
acting as a “quasi-government” many board members do not have a
complete understanding of their legal duties and obligations to
either the State of New Jersey or to the home owners they
represent.
