    Can Condo Board increase owner land?

    I own a condo in WA state. Lots of greenbelts. Homes are different sizes, but backyards are same size. Owner on end unit asked board if he could take down his back fence and move it to incorporate association land to make his yard 6 times bigger. They said yes. I think this is wrong. They have...

    Property Damage

    This may be all it takes to make him not do it again. Photos of him doing it, his money in your pocket. Press charges if he does it again after you fix it.

    HOA going too far?

    Yes, Yes and Yes. Unfortunately parking has and is a huge issue in all condo communities. Mine included. The board can make any rules it wants. Any changes in CC&R's must be sent to the Association members. You are the Association! The tow truck company is taking full advantage of the Board's...

    Should I take court action?

    That's what rental deposits are for. She should not have moved someone in and then replaced the carpet. You can claim the carpet was in great shape when you left. Did you take pictures? A picture tells a thousand word.

    Co-op shareholder feeling harassed

    Read your CC@R's, there should be someway to remove him if you can get the % of owners that are required to do that. What do the other members on the board think?

    I want closure!

    Make a list of everything you left. Send him a registered letter with the list. Call and try to make a pick up date of your stuff. If he doesn't comply take him to small claims court. Hope you have reciepts. He'll have to accomadate you with a pick up date or pay you for value of items. Never...

    Manager is giving out fines

    I don't think this will stand up in a court any where. They are visiting! If your landlord doesn't allow children, will they fine you if children visit! Your landlord is wrong! The magic word is "occupant". Your visitor is not an occupant.

    Dispute with neighbor over automatic garage door opener

    I think your neighbor has to contact the company that made his remote. He caused the problem, he needs to resolve it. Keep nothing valuable in your garage. I'd also keep a date and time log, or hate to say this but you could just buy a new garage door opener. Consider it an upgrade. Keep your...
