Q: My condo has deemed window guards (metal) a violation they were installed many years before I bought 20 years ago.
bought condo in 2002 window guards looked old then and are set in the brick like it is an original feature. I have never heard a word until 2 weeks before my closing of selling my condo. There are several other windows with metal bars including storage rooms owned by the condo. Should I be covered under expost facto clause? or grandfathered in?
A: There is no way to answer your question other than to review all the documents. I can, however, note that, like the First Amendment, the prohibition on ex post facto laws binds the federal government, not your condo board.
