## What do you think? Question:

A condo association unit owner recently began to run a home day care out of her unit without even notifying the Condo Association. We did find out that she is licensed and has some sort of insurance.

Our current condo association insurance agency told us that even though the unit owner has insurance, it is not enough and still leaves the condo association exposed to potention lawsuits. Our By-Laws state that the Units are to be used for "Residential Use Only". We have sent a "cease and desist" letter to her but she still continues to operate.

What is our recourse?  The unit owners do not want a Day Care run out of the Condo Association and do not want to be held liable.
