Condo owners must pay bulk cable fees even if they don't use the service, per Illinois law

Summary
A Chicago condo unit owner questions why they must pay for bulk cable TV service in their monthly assessments when they don't use it and prefer streaming. The response explains that Section 18.4(o) of the Condominium Act grants boards the right to enter into cable and high-speed internet contracts for the building, and unit owners are obligated to pay their share of these bulk service charges regardless of individual usage. The board has the authority to make such decisions for the benefit of the entire association.
