With all of the recent news pertaining to short-term rentals, I thought it would be important to provide specific information per city and county regulations.
It is my opinion the collection agency cannot hold hostage your water bill. The water bill is a separate and distinct expense and is not part of the association’s dues. Association dues consist of the common operating expenses and not the expense of a specific unit owner’s water usage.
