What's the deal with condo association special assessment dispute?

Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

condo association special assessment dispute. I've been dealing with this for about 14 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been in this property for 3 years. My monthly rent is $1,320. I have a written lease.

Has anyone been through something similar? What worked for you?

Attorney here. Here's my take on the legal issues.

There are several legal theories that could apply here. The strongest is probably your state's security deposit statute, which requires showing properly documented.

The practical consideration here is cost vs. potential recovery. For disputes under $10K, small claims court is often the best route.
