## What do you think? Question:

I live in a condo. The owner above me invited me up to her unit. It has big piles of "stuff" that are deteriorating, she can't sleep in her bed because the bedroom is piled high with "stuff" she can't get to her clothes washer because the room is completely filled and overflowing with "stuff". There is an infestation of bugs in her garage that she isn't dealing with for many weeks. My association's management company wants we to write a letter about my concerns. Is it up to me to convince the management company that there is a problem?  Michigan
