State Senator John Carona (R-Dallas) has been linked to a Houston condominium development that could collapse any day and a controversy surrounding what exactly happened to maintenance fees. Carona is CEO of Associa, a property management group that managed the development until earlier this year.
Now, residents are having to move out and are being forced to pay their monthly maintenance fee assessments for the property as well as property taxes (not to mention rent on another dwelling) while trying to figure out what to do next.
An irony comes with that because Carona authored the Texas Residential Property Owner’s Protection Act (SB 507, 77th Texas Legislature), which provides protections for residents living in property managed by property owners associations. Although the TRPOPA may not actually apply to the residents in this development because it doesn’t cover condos in all situations, it is still pretty ironic.
