HOA Dispute — title issue discovered after closing

I'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

title issue discovered after closing. I've been dealing with this for about 12 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been in this property for 5 years. My monthly rent is $3,302. I have a written lease.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

I practice in this area. Here's my take on the legal issues.

There are several legal theories that could apply here. The strongest is probably state landlord-tenant code, which requires showing in violation of notice requirements.

One important thing — there are strict deadlines for filing these claims. Don't wait too long.

I had a similar issue and ended up consulting with an attorney. It was worth the $200-300 for the initial consultation just to understand my rights.
