[quote=EconProf]Ask your property manager why he did not notice no HOA monthly bills came to him for the past year. But also ask the HOA why they did not contact you, the owner of record. Pay all the accumulated monthly fees, but push back on the other costs.
However, you may also be somewhat at fault for not noticing.[/quote]
I agree with EconProf. How in the world a reputable property manager didn’t notice no HOA fees for months on end I have no idea.
Also, how often do you review the financials from the property manager? I know many owners can get complacent but I always recommend property owners (even if they have a property manager) to review their financial statements from property managers at least every quarter.
