We bought our condo in 2002. Within 3 months we got a surprise notice of a special assessment.

Owner had not said anything about it. Our agent contacted seller’s agent who said she informed him of town hall meeting….he never told us.

Amount was for $6,000. Can we take our agent to Small Claims at this point? Was recently told Statute of Limitations was 8 years.

thanks

MY WIFE & I BOUGHT 2 PROPERTIES AT A COUNTY TAX SALE THAT ARE LOCATED IN A PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION. THE P.O.A.’S TREASURER IS SENDING US ASSESSMENT FEE BILLS DATING BACK TO 1989, WHEN WE ONLY PURCHASED THE PROPERTIES IN THE FALL OF 2007. WE’VE PAID OUR ASSESSMENT FEES SINCE THE PURCHASE DATE, BUT HE REFUSES TO CLEAR OUT THE REMAINING DEBT AFTER E-MAILS & 2 CERTIFIED/SIGNATURE VERIFICATION LETTERS, POINTING OUT TO HIM THAT THE P.O.A.’S OWN BYLAWS PREVENT HIM FROM CHARGING BEFORE OUR PURCHASE, NOT TO MENTION THAT THE COUNTY TAX SALE SHOULD EXTINGUISH INFERIOR LIENS ON THE PROPERTIES. WE REQUESTED A HEARING BEFORE THE BOARD LAST YEAR IF HE WOULDN’T SHOW OUR DEBT AS “CLEARED,” BUT HE NEVER RESPONDED, AND WHEN I E-MAILED HIM TO SEND OUR BILL FOR 2010, WHICH HE HADN’T MAILED YET THIS YEAR, IT STILL SHOWS ALL THE OLD BACK ASSESSMENTS TO 1989. MY QUESTION IS, WHAT IS MY RECOURSE? CAN YOU PLEASE GIVE ME SOME MORE CONCRETE TX LAWS THAT PROTECT ME IN THIS INSTANCE? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE.

SINCERELY,

JOSHUA CAMPBELL

I live in Texas. Can an HOA prohibit homeowners from using a realtor when selling their home? My HOA has a rule that states that no realtor may list and show property. This sounds like a restriction of free enterprise and trade as well as making it almost impossible for homeowners in a remote area (on a small lake in East Texas) to sell. I would appreciate your advice.

Recently bought a foreclosed home in San Clemente, CA from Wells Fargo Bank/Premier Assets. I received a letter from the previous owner who was foreclosed on stating that the roof tiles that are piled next to the house are his personal property and he wants them back. The tiles were removed from the house during a major remodel and the house was foreclosed on before there were put back up. (currently no roof tiles on the house). Does he have a legal right to these tiles after a bank foreclosure and aren’t they considered part of the home and not personal property?

I have a landlord that has broken many rules I believe. My question is what leg do I have to stand on? My landlord never told me when I moved in that the house was for sale, I got wind of it through a friend one day and asked my landlord if it was true. Her response was it was only because she needed to get permits that’s why its on the market. Then people started showing up at my door wanting to look at the property, the landlord said it was investors. I asked again and she said NO the property was not for sale. More people came to look at the place. We finally asked again and she said well I have no choice. Meanwhile she new all along that the place was for sale but I would have never moved in if I new that! What do I do? It cost sooo much to move and I just moved in about 4-6 months ago. I don’t have all the deposits it takes to move again. Yes I’m on a month to month but like I said I would have NEVER MOVED IN IF i WOULD HAVE KNOWN. Please help
