Law

Pennsylvania condo board meeting notice rules, in plain language

How Pennsylvania's Uniform Condominium Act handles board meeting notice — a 10–60-day statutory window — and the same structural gap as the HOA act: no apparent statutory open meeting mandate for condominium executive boards.

68 Pa. C.S. § 3308 — Uniform Condominium Act, meetings Law

Pennsylvania condominium reserve funding rules, in plain language

How Pennsylvania's Uniform Condominium Act actually handles reserves — through mandatory disclosure of the reserve amount or its absence in offering statements and resale certificates, with statutory protection against pledging reserve funds, but no reserve-study mandate or minimum funding rule — and what that disclosure-driven posture means for a board, owner, or buyer.

68 Pa.C.S. § 3402(a)(6) (public offering statement reserve disclosure), § 3407(a)(5) (resale certificate reserve disclosure), and § 3302(a)(2) and (17) (association budget authority and reserve fund protection) — Pennsylvania Uniform Condominium Act Law

Pennsylvania HOA board meeting notice rules, in plain language

How Pennsylvania's Uniform Planned Community Act handles board meeting notice — a 10–60-day statutory window — and the critical gap that makes Pennsylvania an outlier: no open meeting mandate for HOA boards under current statute.

68 Pa. C.S. § 5308 — Uniform Planned Community Act, meetings Law

Pennsylvania planned community reserve funding rules, in plain language

How Pennsylvania's Uniform Planned Community Act actually handles reserves — through mandatory disclosure of the reserve amount or its absence in offering statements and resale certificates, with statutory protection against pledging reserve funds, but no reserve-study mandate or minimum funding rule — and what that disclosure-driven posture means for a board, owner, or buyer.

68 Pa.C.S. § 5402(a)(7) (public offering statement reserve disclosure), § 5407(a)(5) (resale certificate reserve disclosure), and § 5302(a)(2) and (17) (association budget authority and reserve fund protection) — Pennsylvania Uniform Planned Community Act
