This question is submitted by Dominique D. out of Amherst, MA

Hi, I own a condo. There are 18 owners in this condo. We, the owners received an email from the property manager asking us to each pay $20,000 for renovations outside the building, none of which are emergencies (new lawns, new. Trees, new sidewalks, new lamps, etc… what recourse do we have if we do not agree?

Thoughts?
