I would like to know if an Illinois
condo association can require a unit owner to pay a vendor that was contracted by the association. I had a water leak in my unit. Because the water was coming from inside the wall, I assumed that it was the association's responsibility and called the property manager. The property manager called the plumbing company who opened up the wall and fixed the leak. At the time, the plumber told me that because the leak is inside the wall, it is clearly the association's responsibility and that the association will be responsible for his bill. It is now two months later and I have just received a letter from the association enclosing a copy or the plumbing company's invoice from two months ago and demanding that I reimburse the association because the pipe that had a leak is serving my unit exclusively. Is condo association correct in demanding reimbursement from me?
