HOT TOPICS for HOA and Condos in 2022 #7

Mulcahy Law Firm, P.C.

Welcome to the 2022 Virtual HOA/Condo Academy series! This is class #7, "HOT TOPICS for HOA and Condos in 2022" featuring Beth Mulcahy, Esq. This virtual seminar is possible thanks to the cities of Avondale, Chandler, Glendale, Goodyear, Mesa, Peoria, Phoenix, Scottsdale, Surprise and Tempe.

What’s On Today’s Agenda?

HOT TOPICS is one of my favorite classes to teach (and very fitting to discuss during the summer) because it allows us to really dive deep and take a closer look at the most important and pressing topics pertaining to community associations.

In preparing to teach this class on hot topics in 2022, we monitor various news sources throughout Arizona, common questions we receive from clients and interested homeowners, monitor new legislation and new cases to compile a list of the most pressing and relevant topics pertaining to HOAs and condos. Today, we’ll address ten HOT TOPICS that cover a wide range of issues.

As always, there will be a free Q&A at the end of the class.

Notice: Due to technical issues there are portions of this episode that have audio artifacts and distortion. We apologize for any inconvenience.
