I live in a condo complex and pay association dues. I have a receipt showing that I paid the dues for the month of September. The property manager lost my check and wants me to repay for the month of September, as I have a receipt showing that I paid the dues, do I have to pay them again? Also, there is a common area for use by the complex, he informed me that my son can not have friends over to use the common area as it is a liability. I have insurance on the condo that has a clause stating that anyone who enters my home is covered in case of an accident. This valid, r do I needt to take out another kind of insurance? Also if my son is not allowed to have friends over to use the common area, shouldn’t everyone with access to that area be informed of this.
Thank you

I have a sales contract on a condo and cannot secure financing on the place because the HOA doesn’t meet fannie mae guidelines of having a reserve fund account. I am out of $400 from coldwell banker and $250 from the inspection because the listing agent nor the owner disclosed this information to me or my realtor. Do I have a case to sue them to recoup the money I’ve lost on this deal?

Foundation Problems

I purchased a Condo 2 years and 3 months ago. A few months after I moved in I found out that the board had reason to believe that there were problems with the foundation of my unit. They never disclosed this information to the previous owner. We did not pursue the HOA at the time as we did not know if it was a material issue and they were in the process of testing the soil. They recently did some additional testing on the foundation. I requested a copy of the report but they are refusing to release it. Do I have legal action against them?

My fiancee and I have been trying to sell a condo in Milford, Ohio for about a year and half, which we are currently not living in (and haven’t for over a year) and it is sitting empty. The president of the condo association lives across the hall. We recently were notified that she has been telling potential young buyers that condo complex is primarily older couples and that they would like it to stay that way. My fiance, who lived there for 3 years, is only 30 years old and knows of a number of younger adults in the complex. The president is also lying to potential buyers telling them there are no children in the complex and no children have lived there. We know of one child that lived in the same building, let alone seeing others in the complex. We have a feeling the president may be saying this because the condo is right across the hall and is sitting empty, which makes it a lot quieter for her. One young couple loved the condo and was about to put an offer down on it, until they ran into the president on their way out of the viewing, after hearing what she had to say they they decided not to make an offer. What is our recourse, can we sue the condo association and/or the president?
