## What do you think? Question:

I closed on my condo on November 7th 2008. The builder paid 2 years [condo fees](https://www.condoassociation.com/blog/tabid/19257/Default.aspx?Tag=Condo%20Fees) at the time of closing. Now the [condo association](https://www.condoassociation.com/CondoAssociation/tabid/83434/Default.aspx) wants to collect for the entire month of Nov 2010. I believe this amount should be prorated, minus the days I did not own the condo, which is 6. All other expenses are prorated, taxes, [insurance](https://www.condoassociation.com/condo-association-insurance/tabid/81732/Default.aspx), phone, electric, cable etc.,why not this? Am I legally responsible for the payment of dues if I did not own the condo for those 6 days? any feedback appreciated... thanks
