I've been trying to resolve this on my own but I'm stuck.

condo association special assessment dispute. I've been dealing with this for about 2 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been in this property for 8 years. My monthly rent is $2,383. I have a written lease.

What are my legal options here? Is it worth pursuing?

Unpopular opinion: sometimes it's not worth litigating, even if you're in the right. If the disputed amount is $500 and attorney fees would be $3,000, consider whether the principle is worth the cost. Write-off the loss and learn from it.

The first thing I'd do is check your state's landlord-tenant statutes for the specific notice requirements. Even a small procedural error by the landlord (wrong notice period, wrong form) can invalidate the entire eviction.
