Homeowners not paying dues
Q: I have paid my homeowners' association fees for years. Recently, all homeowners were assessed an extra fee because many homeowners have not paid their dues, some of them for more than one year. Although I realize that foreclosures and hardships have hurt many individuals, some have simply refused to pay their dues. My understanding from attending the meeting was that every time the association has to pay a lawyer to send a letter and/or put a lien on a property, the rest of the association is absorbing the cost.
