Dear PoP – Ownder Occupancy Ratios


Photo by PoPville flickr user pablo.raw

“Dear PoP,

I live in a medium sized condo building that has been around for a few decades now (beforehand it used to be a hotel). Our building management has alerted the condo board that the owner occupancy ratio is getting quite low – close to 55%. The board is looking at ways to manage this low owner-occupancy ratio, in light of FHA lending requirements. Currently the building’s by-laws do not have any restrictions or incentives to keep the owner-occupancy ratio high.

I was wondering if you, or any of your readers, had encountered this issue and how they dealt with it.”

Anyone live in a condo building that has rules/laws/incentives to keep the owner-occupancy high? Is it just a matter of convincing the board? If you have any of these rules/laws – what are they?

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
