A long range capital improvement planning committee was formed and is gathering information for recommendations to the Board of Directors. If you want to provide input or if you are interested in serving on this committee please contact any current Board Member.
Each unit owner is responsible and liable for paying the current monthly association fees as defined by the condo association documents. The amount charged for association dues is subject to change upon action of the Condo Association Board of Directors. The Condo Board monitors expenses to ensure that liabilities incurred by the Condo Association on behalf of all of the owners and tenants can be met and that a reserve is maintained at all times.
Payment of the association fees, made payable to the College Square Condo Association, should be received by the Management Agent, Auburn Realty, by the tenth of each month for which the fee is due. No billings will be sent out. Late payment or non-payment may result in a late fee as well as the loss of water and sewer service and parking provided to the unit. Upon request Auburn Realty will provide each owner with payment envelopes. You can also pay your monthly association fees online or set up automatic payment from your checking account.

If an owner sells their unit, it is their responsibility to provide the new owner with a copy of the association documents and inform them about the association fees. The seller is also obligated to inform Auburn Realty of the sale of the unit and supply them with the date the property was sold as well as the contact information for the new owner. Any association dues owed by the seller must be paid in full by the sale date.
Condo Association dues are used to operate the condo complex and keep it in good working order and condition. In addition the dues collected are used for the repair or replacement of the common elements as needed. They also provide for exterior maintenance of the buildings containing the units, and in general cover the expense of the upkeep and maintenance of the condo complex and associated grounds.
In addition, several of the general expenses for the College Square Condo Complex are also covered by the association dues. These covered expenses include, Charter Communications extended basic cable and Internet service, water & sewer service, garbage collection (from the common dumpster) and the electricity used to light the common areas and the parking lot, insurance for the common areas and the buildings exterior, and the managing agent's fees. Additional routine services listed below are also provided from the association dues.
The Condo Association contracts for monthly pest control spraying in every unit. This service is not optional and all residents are expected to cooperate with the pest control personnel. The service will not be effective unless every unit is sprayed on a regular monthly basis. The spraying is mainly for insects, but if you have any other pest problems please report them to the Auburn Realty Office. You do not have to be home for the pest control agent to spray. They are bonded and they will have the key to your unit. Any time a pest control agent enters your unit, they will knock loudly and announce themselves first before entering and lock the unit when they leave. A note will also be left inside the unit letting you know why they were there.
Once each quarter, maintenance personnel will conduct a preventative maintenance inspection of your unit at the condo association's expense, which will include checking for working smoke detectors, checking for a charged fire extinguisher, and changing your air conditioning units filter. They will also check for any dripping faucets or running toilets, or general maintenance issues which need to be repaired. A quarterly maintenance record is kept on the side of the air conditioner inside your unit with the date of the service provided. If a problem is found during the inspection, the unit owner will be notified. Any time a maintenance person must enter your unit, they will knock loudly and announce themselves first before entering and lock the unit when they leave. A note will also be left inside the unit letting you know why they were there. Please report any leaking faucets, running toilets, or problems with smoke detectors or fire extinguishers to Auburn Realty as soon as possible. Do not wait for the next quarterly maintenance to be performed.
The common grounds are inspected monthly for any damage. Crews clean the common areas at this time and any litter or garbage found is removed from the grounds. In addition, the grass is cut and the trees and shrubbery in the common areas are maintained on an as needed basis.
Remember if the grounds have to be cleaned more frequently, we all incur the added expense. Let's all do our part to maintain the general appearance of the condo complex, especially after ball games. If you see litter, pick it up and dispose of it properly.
The bottom line is, College Square is our home. Please have respect for others and take responsibility for the appearance of our collective community so we can all take pride in College Square.
