No way is that permitted! you purchased the condo with the "Outside shell" being condo responsibility, the cost of replacing a roof on a single home runs from 2000-5000, regardless of how much fees you are paying, some of that money needs to be allocated to a roof /maintenance fund and they cannot just transfer something willy nilly.<br><br>Looks like el presidente is getting a kick back to accept this deal in some fashion.<br><br>In my own condo corp we have a president who while fully legal is doing many things we disapprove of, mind you I was unsuccessful in running against him as he "stacks" the votes by getting a lot of the owners who are absent to provide him with proxy votes. Thing is, we have no way to contact them since we're not privy to the information he is giving him an unfair advantage as he has been running the place like his playground for over 25 years.<br><br>I'm in a Condo not by choice but by fact it's all I could afford at the time. if I could I would dump it and live in a single house where while I pay all the bills I'd also own the whole shabang!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Draiman posted : Like Msradell pointed out it's not legal for them to turn over roof maintenance to the owners. What is legal would be break up the cost of the roof maintenance shortage between all owners and impose a special assessment so that they can take care of it. The same with the water bill and anything else they need to fix. It sounds like the management company needs to be fired as well as the entire board. <br><small>--<br>IF YOU FIND ANY MISTAKES IN MY WORK...Please consider that they are there for a purpose.

One state which had very little landlord-tenant laws otherwise even had this similar clause, which made me believe it was enacted on the federal level. :<br><br><i>"Access of tenant to cable, satellite and other television facilities" Interference with cable service prohibited.
