[quote=Anonymous][quote=AroundTheBlock][quote=Anonymous]What would you do in this case? Our landlord is late on their condo fees (again) leading the board to cut our access to building amenities (gym, pool, etc.) Should we ask for reduced rent? Demand it? Our preference is that they pay their damn condo fees so we can use the building amenities, several of which were key to our decision to live there. However, we are almost halfway into this month's rental period and still nothing. FWIW, this is not the first time we've been caught between the owners and building - we were instructed by the building law firm last year to pay our rent to them because of the delinquent condo fees.[/quote]

You need to read the lease and review the section for Landlord responsibilities.  Look for any language that specifies the Landlord is responsible for maintaining scheduled payments of the condo fee.  If you can find this the Landlord is in default and you can go after him with an attorney.  If you have a solid case the Landlord will pay for your attorney fees.[/quote]

Also, most condos will have a lease addendum that a tenant and landlord must sign in addition to their agreement.  You should check your records for this.  [/quote]
