"Are you ready for one of the biggest changes in collection law affecting Illinois condominium and homeowners’ associations? Beginning January 1, 2027, Illinois associations will need more than unpaid assessments and a governing declaration before pursuing collection litigation. Under SB 3527, associations must first adopt a written collection policy that complies with the new statutory requirements." - Katerina Tsoukalas-Heitkemper

"Delays in enforcement can often reduce the likelihood of recovery, making it critical for associations to act promptly. However, the goal is not just to collect, but to do so efficiently, fairly, and in a manner that supports the long-term financial health of the community." - Sayra V. Contreras, Esq.

"A well-drafted agenda keeps meetings focused and moving. Make sure to share the agenda in advance. The agenda should identify which items are for discussion and which require a vote, so there can be a clear understanding of what will take place. Once the meeting begins, stick to the agenda during the meeting." - Sayra V. Contreras, Esq.
