Rob Samouce: Condo and HOA members and employees have more privacy rights

Some of the more overlooked changes to the laws affecting condominium and homeowners’ associations that were enacted by the 2010 legislature were the new privacy rights given to members and employees of associations.

For condominium associations, the following information about unit owners in the possession of the association are not accessible to unit owners: “Medical records of unit owners, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, credit card numbers, e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, emergency contact information, any addresses of a unit owner other than as provided to fulfill the association’s notice requirements, and other personal identifying information of any person, excluding the person’s name, unit designation, mailing address, and property address.”

Similarly, for homeowners’ associations, the following information about its members or parcel owners in the possession of the association are not accessible to unit owners: “Medical records of parcel owners or community residents, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, credit card numbers, electronic mailing addresses, telephone numbers, emergency contact information, any addresses for a parcel owner other than as provided for association notice requirements, and other personal identifying information of any person, excluding the person’s name, parcel designation, mailing address, and property address.” "More Details"
