What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oregon
We are planning on selling our place here in Oregon, and a question has been asked a couple of times by some potential buyers. They are wondering if there is an HOA or contract with our neighbor about upkeep or maintenance. We own half of a townhouse/duplex and when we bought it, there was no contract in place. So in theory, if the house needed to be painted, I would have to approach my neighbor to ask him to chip in. If he refused, the only options I would have are to not paint it or pay for it myself. So I understand a new homeowner wanting to clear this up. (I wish our realtor would have done the diligence for us at the time.)
So the question I pose to you guys, is there somewhere I can find a sample contract to get started on making a formal agreement so I can make sure we are squared away with potential future purchasers of the house?
Thanks!
Dan.
