Difference in types of association
Is there really a distinction between a "residents' association" and other groups such as community association or neighborhood association? ... disco spinster   talk  00:37, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes there is. I am in the last stages of my Masters thesis, using a grounded theory framework and surveys to develop a definition of residents' associations, progressive associations and ratepayers' associations. My literature review has thrown up several examples of difference between the above types of group and community/neighbourhood associations.

It is also valuable to remember that Wikipedia is viewed by people worldwide so - whilst the term neighbourhood and/or community association might be used in Northern America, it is not as popular elsewhere, and vice-versa.

So yes, I think it is important to retain this as a discrete wiki entry, at least for now.

-tenants' associations usually implies rented properties and often has some legal basis (covenants or other requirements of ownership/leasing); residents' associations are usually entire voluntary and most likely the residents are freehold owners. --37.228.234.145 (talk) 23:08, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
