Miami, FL asked in Real Estate Law for Florida

Q: I purchased a condo & in 2 months, I was notified of a maintenance increase & roof assessment. Is this right ?

With further clarification of my question, my major concern is of the assessment. The maintenance increase, should have still been at least disclosed, in an act of integrity as the Seller is the president of the board. The condo rider stated no pending assessments, which I believe was untrue, as there were discussions in the minutes of prior meetings.

A: Purchasing a condo means you accept those kind of monthly fees, or lose it. It does not sound like you could prove those fees were pending at sale. But in any event a fraud suit will not work as you have no damages and you probably want to continue living there.
