					  <link>http://newenglandcondo.com/articles/511/1/QampA-Rules-for-Extra-Tenant/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;I have lived in a unit for the past three years. I am planning on having my
&nbsp;boyfriend move in with me in a few months. Are there any community or state
&nbsp;rules or regulations that will prevent this from happening?

					  <description><![CDATA[Our rules and regulations state that owners may not have more than 2 pets, one
&nbsp;of which may be a dog. One of the unit owners who also happens to be a board
&nbsp;member keeps 4 dogs in her unit as pets. Since she is a board member, the board
&nbsp;will not take action against her. Not only is this unfair, it is against the
&nbsp;rules. What can we do?

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;Pet owners certainly love their dogs and consider them a part of the family.
&nbsp;With an estimated 40,000 dogs in the city of Boston alone, (as per
&nbsp;allstateanimalcontrol.com), it&rsquo;s no wonder businesses and city dwellings are jumping on the dog-service
&nbsp;bandwagon.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;Insurance sounds like a simple concept: you pay a premium to your insurer, and
&nbsp;then when you file a claim, your insurer pays you. Simple. Insuring a
&nbsp;condominium or association property shouldn&rsquo;t be much different than insuring yourself&mdash;just on a bigger scale, right?

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;Part of the job of a condo board is to keep your association&rsquo;s grounds or lawn looking healthy and attractive. After all, curb appeal can do
&nbsp;wonders when it comes to appraisals and even the morale of your community
&nbsp;members. But most condo boards&mdash;whether urban or suburban&mdash;are populated by volunteers, few of whom are likely to be professional
&nbsp;landscapers or horticulturalists.

					  <title><![CDATA[Feeling Flowerful?]]></title>
					  <link>http://newenglandcondo.com/articles/505/1/Feeling-Flowerful/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;The phrase, &ldquo;April showers bring May flowers&rdquo; is a classic&mdash;but in real-life condo communities, beautiful, abundant flowers are a bit more
&nbsp;complicated than merely a little bit of rainfall, and don&rsquo;t just spring up overnight. Colorful flowers are the first true sign that spring
&nbsp;is officially here after a long, harsh winter. And while they are aesthetically
&nbsp;pleasing, they can be also be a headache for condominium boards, mostly because
&nbsp;of all the decisions involved.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;Months have slipped by, but it&rsquo;s not easy to forget the damage that last year&rsquo;s brutal weather brought to the trees in the New England area. In June, severe
&nbsp;tornadoes touched down in Massachusetts, leaving total devastation in their
&nbsp;wake. Hurricane Irene swept through the area at the end of August with its
&nbsp;120-mph winds and flooding rains that caused heavy property damage. Then, in a
&nbsp;nasty one-two punch, a historic October snow and ice storm weighed down both
&nbsp;strong and already-weakened trees, snapping them in half and often pulling them
&nbsp;right out of the ground.

					  <link>http://newenglandcondo.com/articles/503/1/Chemical-Concerns-/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;Since the 1950s, American lawns have been &ldquo;hooked&rdquo; on petroleum-based and synthetic chemicals. A plethora of pesticides,
&nbsp;herbicides, fungicides and fertilizers have been eagerly embraced by both
&nbsp;homeowners and landscape professionals, who cannot resist the dramatic results&mdash;an almost instantaneous, lush, green lawn. But many industry experts today view
&nbsp;this practice as akin to a drug addict who cannot function without a fix.
&nbsp;Grasses became dependent on an endless feed of chemicals for their sustenance
&nbsp;as the underlying soil became sterile.

					  <description><![CDATA[&nbsp;In the face of rising water costs, maintenance costs, and a continued depressed
&nbsp;housing market, many community associations are finding long-term savings
&nbsp;through new landscape strategies that also help our environment. Eco-friendly
&nbsp;landscaping practices are not just the domain of the nature lover anymore. They
&nbsp;can mean significant returns on your investment.
