Q: I own a condominium unit, but recently moved to a house and decided to rent the condo. The association is now saying it wants me to pay an extra $100 a month in maintenance fees and it’s taking away the great parking spot I had for years and giving me one in the back. Can the board do this? – Anonymous
A: No. As a condo unit owner, you are responsible to your association for the maintenance dues regardless of whether you are living in the unit, renting it out or letting it sit vacant. Just as you can’t request lower payments because the unit is vacant, your association can’t demand higher payments from you because you’re renting the unit.
