What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois
I have a question...my mom currently lives in a 36 unit condo community in illinois. Since the day we moved in 16 years ago this unit owner, now self appointed and self paid manager has been giving my mom hell. Things are not run the legal way from the start here. Elections are never posted yet some way some how new people get elected to the board. The manager not only pays himself manager fees but also random fees that make no sense and no one bothers to check on him. He honestly could be robbing the condo blind and no one would know...my mom as a paying unit owner has voiced her opinion along with a few others on more than one occasion which i feel she has every right to do...well i guess this guy has had enough and is starting to fight back in i feel illegal ways...a while ago my mom went through some financial troubles...she was late about 9 months on the monthly assesment she had talked with the board about paying it back and before she could make any attempt to this guy, we shall call him "Steve", got a lawyer after her and they were moments away from taking the condo before she got it paid...and from time to time through the 16 years of living there maybe a few checks bounced a long the way...no big deal she always made good on it and there was never any problem...well now "steve" has decided to really show my mom...he made copies of every returned check, and all the paperwork that dealt with the lawyer and sent it out to people in the condo units...mind you these are NOT board members...these are every day unit owers...he made NO attempt to hide her name or any information...does he have a right to do this? i work in health care and we have to follow the HIPPA laws but isn't there something else that protects peoples other private information? i mean the stuff he passed out is long in the past and taken care of but there was no need for his actions like this...is there anything we can do? please help...thank you
