How often will "Reserve Fund Studies be required? 2. Who are required to conduct the Reserve Fund Studies? 3. How many years of future major repairs or replacements cost of the common Elements should there be money in the reserve to cover? 4. What shall a Condominium corporation be required to do, in the event that a required amount of money is not in the Dear Condofax: I am writing on behalf of a condoâ€" minium corporation Finance Subâ€"comâ€" mittee. We are trying to decide if it would be to our advantage to have a formal Reserve Fund Study done this year or next. We are also concerned about what effect the new Condominium Act‘s requirement to implement "Reserve Fund Studies," will have on future Condominium fees. Reserve fund study required?
