Who is responsible for paying for repairs and maintenance in the condo complex?

In Texas, the Condominium Act states that the repairs and maintenance of the condo complex are the responsibility of the condo owners. The owners’ agreement, or the declaration of condominium ownership, outlines how the owners will divide the costs of repairs and maintenance. Common areas such as stairwells, walkways, landscaping, lobbies, and parking lots are typically maintained by the homeowners’ association. The homeowners’ association collects money from the condo owners in the form of an assessment to cover the costs of regular maintenance and repairs. The condo owners are also responsible for repairing and maintaining their individual units. In addition, they are usually required to pay a “repair and replacement reserve,” which is an assessment set up to cover the cost of major repairs that may arise in the future. The Condo Act also states that the condo owners are responsible for the upkeep of their units. This includes painting, carpets, walls, fixtures, and any other type of maintenance that is necessary to protect the value of the units. If there is a dispute between condo owners or between the condo owners and the homeowners’ association regarding the payment of repairs and maintenance, the condo owners may file a lawsuit in court to resolve the dispute.
