This sounds like your speaking about your condominium bylaws or declaration. To know whether the pricing change is a violation of the original agreement or permissible, we'd need to know whether the pricing is: (a) a fixed number, or (b) a formula.
Typically, costs that would be... Read more »

If it is a pipe that provides water to an individual condo unit, the owner of that unit is responsible under that language.
I agree unobstructed would mean that the owner may not allow a pipe to remain clogged.

I filed Ch.7 bankruptcy in June 2022. I was able to keep my house. I was told I'm not liable for the mortgage/loan, but the bank can foreclose if it's not paid. I share the home with a co-owner. I want to know if I don't pay any of the mortgage, can the co-owner legally come after me... Read more »

No one can take any action while the automatic stay is in place. Your co-owner should have been listed in the bankruptcy as a potential creditor which would preclude him from coming after you for the money although he may be within his rights to ask that it be sold.

So the new mortgage servicer can file a deed of trust with the county? Because if I want to sell the home the title company will think the old servicer is who gets paid?
answered on Dec 7, 2022
That would be an assignment not a release. The noteholder is the one to get paid and who gives a release when paid off, which may not be who is servicing the Deed of Trust. Hire an AZ attorney to represent you because you are about to make very serious mistakes.

I am in Arizona. I am the sole owner of the property. Do I need to file a deed revocation, revoking the beneficiary deed first, or will the quitclaim deed be sufficient to maintain chain of title?

The proper way to do this is to record a revocation of the beneficiary deed and then record a deed from you to the trust. Quitclaim deeds are an invitation to potential disasters.
