My sister who is in her seventies, has owned her condo in Hinsdale Point Condominiums for over forty years. She was recently evicted for a $44 shortage that she was willing to pay if they had notified her. She was informed after the court filing. In out she told the judge that she was willing to pay the $44, but the judge said it was too late and ordered an eviction. She did not realize she was being evicted until the sheriff posted a notice on her door. According to the court records, this hearing took eleven minutes of court time for this decision. This $44 was from a prior attempt to evict her. The manager said that she missed a condo payment about sixteen or seventeen years ago. My sister keeps good records so she asked what month and year the payment was missed. In court the judge set another court date for her to supply my sister with the month that the payment was missed. The manager supplied the records she had since 1999 and told my sister to find the month. The judge said it was incumbent up my sister who is a high school graduate to pour through this records and find the missed payment. My sister had all of her payment records for the passed fifteen years with her. So a 1999 month was a chosen by the manager and the judge ruled she had to pay a judgement for that month plus interest which came out to $2600 by a certain date. She made all her payment but she was sent a notice to appear in court again, she was informed that she was $44 short and ordered the eviction. My sister had an attorney through all of this. After she was evicted, she hired another attorney from a law school to appeal the eviction. The judge told her attorney that he fixed it so it could not be appealed. I am seeking advise on how I can get my sister back in her condo.
