		<description><![CDATA[The Federal Government has added an amendment to the Helping Families Save Their Homes Act of 2009.  Specifically, they added the “Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act of 2009”.

		<description><![CDATA[Due to new technologies, people now more than ever are working from home or now have home based businesses.  In many cases these businesses may be in conflict with your association’s documents.  The original intent of banning businesses located in an association was to prevent residents from running commercial enterprises that would create traffic, parking problems, noise, disrupt harmonious living and overtax existing common elements.  ]]></description>
