Some Housing Links

Hi All,

Just found some interesting sites on the web regarding condominium manager issues. Click here for an article titled 'How to Handle Problems With a Condominium's Board of Managers'.  Link is from the Attorney General of the State of New York .

Another useful link for folks also comes from the New York State Attorney Generals office.  Titled 'A Housing Guide for Senior Citizens' the link might be useful for seniors trying to learn about legal protections for tenants, housing options, maintaining the home and help with utilities.

Note that both links open document with Adobe's pdf program.

Enjoy the housing links - hope they help.
