The Second Edition of Hirzel's Handbook: How to Operate an Illinois Condo or HOA is newly updated and expanded to help board members and community association managers navigate the complicated statutory schemes that govern Illinois community associations. Serving on a condo or HOA board is a serious responsibility, but with this handbook, you will not have to do it alone or without training.
Written by Kevin Hirzel, one of the top community association lawyers in the United States, this comprehensive yet practical guide breaks down legal concepts and best practices to empower board members and property managers alike.
The Second Edition of Hirzel's Handbook provides essential insights on how to:
- Understand the laws that govern your specific type of community association
- Implement best practices for finance, governance, and general operations
- Navigate insurance coverage and the different types of policies
- Manage the transition from developer to owner control
- Enforce the governing documents and effectively remedy bylaw violations
- Collect delinquent assessments in an efficient manner
- Update governing documents to account for legal and technological changes
- Avoid costly Fair Housing complaints and compliance mistakes
- Learn how to handle the deconversion process for distressed condos
This book is more than just a guide. It is your training manual and risk management plan, and it translates legalese into layman's terms. Protect your community association every step of the way!
Practical Guidance. Proven Strategies.
Lead Your Illinois Community Association with Confidence!
