Does anyone have any good verbiage I can use for the exterior of a condo. IE roof siding, paint, ETC, responsibility of the condo association.
I had one but can’t seem to find it.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Peter,
Here are a few that I pilfered off this and maybe other locations.
My apologies where credit is lacking.
I think Jeff Pope shared this one:
CONDO AREAS
Many of the items identified in this inspection report may fall under the care and responsibility of the Home Owner’s Association. Requests for repairs and/or corrections in these areas should be directed accordingly.
While commenting on these areas is outside the scope of your home inspection, I might comment on them to try to help you.

And I think the was shared by Joe Kormos:
