Summary of Kentucky Condo Act

Benefits of the Kentucky Condo Act

Condominiums, patio homes and lofts are a quickly growing housing start.

The proposed Kentucky Condo Act helps all consumers with:

• Full Financial Disclosure

• Consumer Protection

• Property Value Protection

• Gaining Peace of Mind

Current condo problems can cause a decline in property values

Many owners and potential buyers do not know the FULL EXTENT of potential looming

financial shortfalls at condominium associations. Some problems include:

• Lack of strong paid management

• Lack of a dedicated, excellent volunteer board of directors

• Monthly fees that may be too low to sustain the property

The result can be a decline in property values, and sometimes a steep decline as the

property ages.

A sensible first step, for a Kentucky solution

The Uniform Condominium Act has existed in most "urbanized" state for 20+ years.

The act requires all associations to:

• Keep up-to-date, standard financial records such as

o An annual operating budget and balance sheet

o Statement of insurance

• Disclose needed capital repairs

• Disclose the amount of money held in reserve

• Finances would be uniform at all associations in the state

• Helps lenders and buyers know what they are getting into
