Can an HOA Be Required to Compensate Residents Displaced by Elevator Repairs?


Question:

This question was submitted by Diane of Illinois.

My 95 year old mother lives alone in a top floor condo. The building is run by an HOA which meets on a semi-regular basis. Recently we were informed that the one and only elevator will be out of service due to needed repairs and updates for 4 - 6 weeks starting the end of July. My mother and many others like her are forced to find other housing during this time. In addition, the members are required to pay a special assessment but no compensation is being offered to those who cannot reside in their apartments due to physical limitations. Do we have any rights or recourse here?
