Hypothetical question

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?

Illustrative response

I went through almost the exact same thing.

The #1 mistake I see here is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should file a complaint. But don't just take my word for it, get real legal advice.

Illustrative response

NAL, but from what I've read, you should send a written demand. Caveat: I'm not your lawyer and this isn't legal advice lol

Illustrative response

I think half the threads here are about this exact issue.

The trap most people fall into is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.
