For the past some twenty years our Condominium Association has charged the unit owner for repairs to the siding of his unit a limited common area. This charge was illegal according to our Declaration and Washington State law. Our condominium Declaration and the Washington State law specifically state that the Association is responsible for maintenance, repair and replacement of the common area including the limited common area. The Association is also responsible for any financial costs associated to that work. My neighbor filed a lawsuit to force the Association to live up to its obligations and won the lawsuit. I helped put the lawsuit together. The Association retaliated by stating that I will lose certain owner privileges and be forced to pay for repairs that my unit may need if I help anybody else with a lawsuit. I am quite sure that this is against USA law, but I am on Social Security and cannot afford a lengthy and costly legal battle. The Association is aware of this. Question: Has anybody else been involved in one of these legal fights whereby the Association has access to unlimited funds to fight members who stand up for their American rights?
