Looking for advice on a legal issue. Here's what happened.

condo association special assessment dispute. I've been dealing with this for about 5 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have been renting for 8 years. My monthly rent is $3,556. I have a written lease.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

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.

I specialize in this area of law. Here's my take on the legal issues.

Based on what you've described, you likely have a viable claim under your state's security deposit statute. The standard is whether a reasonable person would find the conduct properly documented.

You should consult with a local attorney who handles these cases. Many offer free initial consultations.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

In my case, it took about 2-4 months to resolve. The key was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should file a complaint. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

What worked for me was filing with the appropriate government agency. It took 4-8 months but was worth it.

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.
