Actually Advocodo that’s not the way it works. You see, if you read your contract carefully in the amenities section you’ll find this carefully worded declaration:
“the Contractual Amenities Fee is a fee for services and is in no way adjusted according to the cost of providing those services.”
What this actually means is that they can raise the fee if the CPI goes up but are not required to lower it if it were to go down. Furthermore, it means that they can (and do) subtract the actual cost of running the amenities from the amenity fee income and then hand over the balance to the developer as management fees. (see the published VCCDD budget)
That’s something most TV residents just don’t understand.
