Q: If I am a resident in a rental community can my rights to utilize amendities such as the leasing office be removed?
My leasing office has threated to evict me if I enter into the leasing office again. They have stripped my family and me from using the business office amenities. Is this legal seeing I am still required to pay full rent?
A: Totally depends upon the governing documents of the HOA. You need to consult with an attorney in your area to go over this situation in detail.
A: Depends on whether you are the owner of the unit. Has the HOA issued a written warning or other notice of a rules violation? Andy is correct that much of the answer depends on the HOA documents, including the declaration, rules, and others. I recommend having a lawyer prepare a letter to the HOA demanding use of the common elements to which you are entitled (again, assuming you have not violated a rule or regulation that would lawfully permit the association to deny your access).
