Background & Context

3 stories

2.1

The HOA documents that matter when buying a condo.

Beyond the standard CC&Rs, four documents predict future assessment risk: the reserve study (is the association underfunded?), the most recent two annual budgets, the delinquency report (what % of owners are behind?), and any pending litigation. A reserve-study funding ratio below 30% is a yellow flag; below 10% is red.

Why It Matters

Special assessments in underfunded associations routinely run $10K-$50K per unit and arrive with little notice. The reserve study is a legally required disclosure in most states — but most buyers never ask for it.

2.2

Why your jurisdiction may require a rental license you do not have.

A growing number of CT cities require landlords to register rental properties, pass periodic inspections, and pay an annual fee. Penalties for unlicensed operation typically include fines per day and, in some cases, retroactive return of collected rent. The rules apply to single-unit landlords, not just large operators.

Why It Matters

Enforcement has shifted from complaint-driven to data-matching against utility and property-tax records. Many landlords discover they were non-compliant when they receive a back-fines notice years after acquiring the property.

2.3

How redemption rights vary by state — and why buyers should care.

Some CT jurisdictions give the foreclosed owner a statutory right to redeem the property within a window after the sale (often 6-12 months). Buyers at foreclosure auctions in those jurisdictions take title subject to redemption — meaning the prior owner can reclaim the property by paying the auction price plus interest. Title insurance does not cover this exposure.

Why It Matters

A redeemed property is returned to the prior owner, not refunded with the original purchase price plus appreciation. Auction buyers in redemption-rights states need to hold capital reserves for the entire window.
