ALLOCATION OF EARNINGS.
Owners who request to have their earnings applied to their account will receive an email from our department including a statement of earnings.

If an owner requests to have the amount mailed by cheque AFTER the amount has been applied to their account, we may do so less a $25 administration fee. If an owner would like to receive partial proceeds from their earnings mailed to them in cheque form, they must do so before the amount is applied to the account to avoid the $25 administration fee.
Note: WJR will not automatically issue a cheque for the difference between maintenance fees and earnings from rental. WJR will issue a cheque if, after earnings are applied, the amount exceeds $2000. For example, if you earned $4000, we will mail a cheque for $2000 and apply $2000 to your account for future dues.
