Comments on: What Happens When You “Walk Away” From Your Condo? http://condolawguru.com/2010/03/what-happens-when-you-walk-away-from-your-condo/ Condo Law & HOA Law for Boards & Owners Sat, 21 Jan 2012 02:20:31 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2 By: Beth Grimm http://condolawguru.com/2010/03/what-happens-when-you-walk-away-from-your-condo/comment-page-1/#comment-486 Beth Grimm Wed, 24 Mar 2010 20:20:51 +0000 http://condolawguru.com/?p=237#comment-486 I do not know of any case law regarding the exact subject matter but there are liability cases involving things that happen in the HOA involving criminals. You would do well to seek some legal help in identifying and arguing how the law works in your favor, because at the appeal level, the cases will likely be discussed by the association counsel. You will be at a disadvantage without good legal insight. At any rate, let me know what happens at the trial de novo.

It was for a total of $630. (actual damages were $1100). On the 29th day after Judgment was entered, the HOA's attorney filed for an Appeal. I would like to go in with both guns loaded to the hearing. Does ANYONE know of ANY caselaw wherein the HOA was held responsible for damage/burglary to a vehicle when they touted excellent security for the complex. We have 1026 units with FIVE security guards and only TWO on the graveyard shift. The Small Claims Judge agreed that I did everything possible to prevent the theft from happening, and the security was lax. PLEASE HELP!!!
