After a sizable down payment, we purchased a condo in June of 2007. Our savings were used to pay 3% to get a FHA loan. We understood a monthly fee was involved but the realtor didn't mention or explain assessment fees.
A copy of the condo board's rules & regulations were not given to us until after we closed. Only 4 months into ownership the condo board sent us a letter saying they wanted a $390 Dollars assessment due in two weeks for insurance shortfall. I have asked the reason of the shortfall five times and have gotten no answers. We didn't have the money at the time but eventually paid it. Now we are behind two or three months on the monthly fee. The manager has really begun to harass us. My fiancée (a teacher) opened up an email (saved it) at school and the manager wrote "The board feels if you cannot pay the Dues, you should not be living here." She has made other ugly comments like this on the phone. People saw the email. Is this attack on our character & libel? We have always used the proper trash facilities but she approached us and threatened to fine us (in front of other tenants.) She has done other things like this. I have requested her supervisors (the president and vice president of the board's) phone number but she refuses to give it to me. How should I proceed? |

She does need to provide any info that you request but the other comments don't really rise to the level of a lawsuit at this point. It doesn't sound very neighborly though.
If someone publicly says or writes anything factually untrue and it actually damages you, you indeed can sue for slander, libel, defamation, interference with business relations etc. -- or at least threaten to do so and give a warning. |
