I can't really blame the tenant for this current problem. My sister, while holding my father's power of attorney and his bank account, decided that she/he wasn't going to pay the condo fees. My dad and I owned his condo 50/50. I paid my share but my father's went unpaid. Several other dirty family linen things happened and I have now made good on just the payments that my sister/father refused to pay. Of course the lawyers want me to pay interest and their fees and I'm still only a 50% owner.

The condo tenant has not been able to get the access card to the facilities because of all of this.

Anyone want to buy a nice 2 bedroom 1 1/2 bath condo in Boca? Cheap, really cheap.

Daughter is old enough to drive, although we are debating her mental age currently. :D

I just might start drinking early. I rarely drink but this has been one weird week.

You must be driving a japanese or american car. The only people to figure out that a washer fluid reservior should be >=1 gallon are the germans.

BTW....this is ALSO the same reason why appetizers at restaurants are almost always served in odd numbers. It's always great to politely argue over who eats the last one or make a mess by trying to cut it in half!

Sad to hear that. I suspected something was up earlier this week when everyone on the 6 PM news seem to be forceing themselves through the broadcast and not wanting to be there. They also introduced a new sports guy last night.

Uh-oh. As I eat my cookies the news is saying they recalled the dough I used. I think I'm willing to risk it.

I'm a bit p'd off today. I took my Honda Odyssey in for a routine service, and ended up spending $1000+++. :mad:

I needed my front "struts" fixing and my wobble arm or waver arm or something or other, I can't remember the name of it, needed fixing too. Plus then the wheels needed realigning and I needed a 75k service.

Bugger!

Mind you, initially, the service guy told me it was going to be $1400, but I said "hang on while I make some calls". I called several local dealerships to compare prices. Managed to get my dealer to undercut the rest, and walked out paying $1066.00 instead of $1400.


Would much rather have spent that money on an MR!!

I assume, your contract with the property management group did not mention the split in who pays the fees. Your agreement should specify what kind of damages there are for failure to pay dues as well as any legal fees. Most jurisdictions do not allow parties to collect legal fees unless there are exceptional circumstances, like it being written into the agreement.

If they release any TPAC J availability at saver level, it seems to just be one seat. It is, however, possible to find 2 seats from time to time.

If you want some help searching different options, let me know the relevant details and I'll see what I can do.

My father and I had no written agreement of how the dues were to be split. It was understood by us that although I loaned him some money for the purchases of his condo, the condo was his completely. He paid all the fees prior to his getting ill. I was only on the deed to protect my loan from my sister and I still got the short end of the stick.
