Condo association rejects owners hardship status to rent unit


Question:

I am the owner/trustee of my deceased mother's condo in Illinois. I have had it on the market for the past 9 months and have lowered the listing price 5 times to be competitive with the current market. Still no sale. Our bylaws state we cannot rent, but there are two units on the premises that went into foreclosure and the condo association is now renting them - one is occupied and the other is on the rental listing. Why can the condo board rent and I can't? I sent the condo board an email requesting a "hardship exemption" as suggested by the management company - the condo board flatly denied me stating they don't feel it's a hardship - mind you this statement was made without any knowledge on their part of my financial situation. HELP! What, if anything, can I do?
