Apartment condo…

By Silvia

Hi, On June, I was told by my tenant to move out because he could not afford to pay the apartment anymore. At the end of June, the new administration put a sign saying that only register residents and owners will have access to the condo. I went to talk to the office before July 8th, the date they say we were not gonna be able to enter. And they told me that I was going to have problems since the owner was not paying the maintenance fee. I told them I was going to look for an apartment and the administrator gave me some brochures about other properties that the developer was renting, and told me that if I brought proof that I was moving, she was gonna solve my problems.

I started looking for an apartment and found one, in the meantime, the problems started, they cancel my remote control to open the gate, and my husban’s and we needed to enter thourght the guest gate, which was usually with huge lines, considering we are not the only ones, on this situation.

I tried to follow their “new” rules everytime, they change daily, now I am not allow to park on the owners parking space. I need to find a guest parking which is very difficult.

Last week I called and talk to Ms. Rivera and explained that I was trying to move on August 1st. and I did not want to have problems. She told me that I should bring a letter to the office. I ask her, there is something else I should do? She told me no!

When I went to the office, on Tuesday July 15th, they did not want to receive my letter, or sign the copy, and they told me that the only thing I should do is a check for $250 to move out, non refundable, I explained to them that I did not have anything in my papers or contract about that, and that I even called to make sure I was not going to have problems, they denied my call, and Ms. Riviera finished on telling Sara Mandulay, the administrator, that she did tell me to bring the letter. Anyway.

I am really stress, the moving thing is always stresfull, and if you add, everything that we are living in this condominium, thigns like, even thought I tried to park in the guest parking with the guest sign, they still put a paper saying that they will town my car away. When I went to ask why, they told me that maybe it was a mistake.

I have tried to find out, if what I think is right, that they are not doing the things properly, and actually every time I ask for the things in writting they say they cannot do that.

I was trying to just move and forget the whole thing, but I really believe that I should do something.

My questions will be:

1 Do they have the right to do what they are doing about the parking? ( remote control not working, not leaving me park in the dessignated parking space?)

2 I still do not have anything in writing about the move out fee, my contract does not have it, there is a condo owner that says that she saw it on the condominium papers, I ask her if I could see it, but she is moving and she does not have it) Can they charge for something that they did not let me know when they approved my aplication, they already charge me a move -in fee, and it is at the end of one of the application papers, but it is say MOVE IN. And course we already paid it. ($250)

I have talk to the owner, and also I have tried to get goverment organizations to be involve, since I know I am not the only one suffering this not fair treatment. But the one that answer to me, told me that I should go to a lawyer. Thay I am right, but there is nothing they can do.

The Ombusman of Condominium, told me that if I was the owner they could do something.

The owner told me unfortunatly he cannot do anything, that this people is not trying to solve problems.

I really do not know what to do. I fell is unfair, but in the other hand, I want to move, I already contract the moving company, and I just want to go. I am sick of this people.

Could yo tell me what do you suggest?

Thank you in advance.

Silvia
