What Lock-and-Leave Includes in Johnstown

• Read what the HOA covers. Roof, exterior paint, lawn, snow, trash, water. Two Johnstown communities with the same dues cover different lists. We read the declarations.
• Dues are the trade. $200 to $600 a month in Johnstown buys the freedom to leave for a month. The lender counts the dues in your payment.
• Reserves. A community that covers the roofs needs the money to replace them. The reserve study tells you whether the dues are real.
• Attached or detached. Patio homes give you a detached house with the maintenance handled. Townhomes and condos give you less to insure.
• Rentals and pets. Lock-and-leave owners travel; some rent. The covenants set the rules on both.
