What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
The fire sprinklers in my townhouse were defective and flooded my house. The house was still under warranty and the HOA did admit they were liable for the charges. I was told to get quotes for the repair. They approved the quote and told me to pay for the repairs and they would reimburse me. I have emails of all of the above. It has been two years and they still have not reimbursed me. The HOA manager says many of my neighbors are not paying their dues, and that is why the HOA has no money to pay me. I was wondering if it is ok for me to send letters each month stating that I am deducting each month's dues from the balance that is owed to me. And I will restart my due payments when the balanced owed to me is $0. Is that legal to do? Or do I need to get their agreement to this plan first? I have a feeling they won't agree to it up front, but if I just jump the gun, then maybe they will be too slow to react and after several months I can claim de facto approval to the repayment plan.
