An Act relative to 40B condominium units
This bill requires purchasers of 40B affordable condominium units to pay all common expenses (like maintenance or utilities) as outlined in their condo's master deed. It also mandates the state's Executive Office of Housing to create a reimbursement program for these buyers to cover those costs. The bill explicitly prohibits other unit owners in the same condo complex from subsidizing the common expenses of 40B affordable units. This directly affects buyers of 40B-affordable units and changes how their housing costs are structured.
