Q: Condo law question. Seeking reimbursement from HOA mgr
I own a condo in FL and the management office had contacted me many times stating that the unit below me was experiencing water damage from my condo bathroom. Since I live out of town I asked the mgr who phoned me to have condo maintenance handyman inspect. Maintenance eported back that there was no issue with my bathroom. The office however kept phoning stating that the unit below me was getting a leak. Each time I explained I am not there and haven't been and unit was already checked. I was then emailed twice asking to have necessary repairs done and also cited it's my responsibility, possible legal action etc and a deadline to have completed. I had a plumbing company come and it was again confirmed that leak is not from my unit. He found the issue to be at unit below me(the one making complaint) due to outside wall. I would like the hoa mgr to reimburse me for cost paid to plumber because I found out it was the office erroneously claiming the issue was from my unit to owner.
A: Yes, you can ask for reimbursement. Hopefully you have documentation from the condo maintenance handyman.
