Hi La Verne, we just saw this waiting for approval. We need to use the report a problem or create a concern for us to see questions and issue. The management firm will need information about the mortgage is based on Condo Law.
Michigan law requires condo associations to track mortgages. Under Mich. Admin. Code R. 559.507, condo associations must keep a official book or record of all mortgages for every unit in the project.
