TYPES OF OWNERSHIP IN LEISURE WORLD OF MARYLAND

MUTUALS

The "Mutual" refers to the associations that are the governing bodies of each  Cooperative, Condominium or Fee Simple group.

Montgomery Mutual is the governing body for all of the Co-operative units.

All Fee Simple and Condominium governing bodies have numerical designations.

THE THREE TYPES OF OWNERSHIP:

         Fee Simple, Condominium (Condo) or Co-operative (Co-op)

1) FEE SIMPLE OWNERSHIP with Home Owner's Association

The single family residences, located in Mutual 25, are fee simple ownership.  The owners are responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the home.  However, these homes belong to a Home Owner's Association with a monthly fee covering: water, basic cable, snow removal, lawn maintenance, and gutter cleaning. 

2) CONDO OWNERSHIP with Home Owner's Association

This means the owner of each apartment or home holds a fee simple title to his/her living unit and a specified share of the indivisible part of the building and land, known as common elements.  The individual unit owner in a condominium owns the "common elements" as "tenant in common".  The condo and HOA monthly fees are combined into one payment and the items covered vary by Mutual.

3) CO-OP OWNERSHIP with Home Owner's Association

An owner of a co-op unit owns shares of stock in the Corporation that holds title to that building, but does not own the unit itself. They are stockholders in the owning corporation and stock ownership gives them a proprietary lease to their living unit for the life of the corporation.  The co-op and HOA fees are combined into one payment which covers all utilities except telephone.  Exterior and interior maintenance are the responsibility of the Mutual.  Co-operative ownership applicants must be approved by the Board of Directors.  These residences are comprised of the original group of garden apartments and two level townhomes.

Each mutual contributes a percentage of their monthly fee to Leisure World to enable the residents to participate in community activities.  Golf, swimming, and tennis require additional fees -see attached schedule.
