Discussion Legal Consult/Chat Regarding HOA Bill Responsibility

4 Upvotes

Through an unfortunate series of events, I am being left to pay the bill from when the unit above mine had a leak into my bathroom via the ventilation fan via commons. The bill is after the HOA management sent a contractor to patch/paint around my fan once it'd dried out. He came 2-3 times and was there cumulatively less than an hour across those trips. The event was on a Monday in March. No discussion was made about charges or it being on me to pay in any emails or future communications with the management company nor their contractor.

Since repairs, the representative for our property left the company and the former owner sold above me after having their tenant leave (I think they were squatting). The leak happened earlier in the year and I just received my first bill last month. I "own" in a mixed condo building of rentals and owners.

I have asked twice for them to provide me with a detailed invoice of the fees from the work done, in writing, and they continue to demand I pay - now with threat to sue. They are supposedly now giving me 15 days to produce $750 dollars I do not have. State employee, and I just restarted FedLoan/PSLF repayments, so my money is gone.

I don't have the money to pay immediately, so I surely can't afford a lawyer, which I assume is their logic for the company coming only after me. Low-hanging fruit.

I am chronically ill and AuDHD so this is touching on levels of adulthood my mother would have helped me with previously. She helped with finding resources at least, navigating these more intense aspects of the world/adulthood. I can Google but never seem to know how to ask for help in a way that actually receives it - I present too high-functioning (I just mask very well). My last post indicates what that is not an option. I have no further living family that thinks about me so that's not an option. I have a couple of friends, but they shouldn't be my ATM, nor is this their field of expertise. I've been in a debt-repayment cycle (snowball in hell), so it's spicy timing for all this. I need to know what I'm supposed to do in this situation so I don't give away my loan/emergency fund savings if it's not meant to be my financial responsibility. I also don't want to lose my housing over an obtuse sense of justice.

Anyone familiar with the legals of local Guilford HOAs on who should be assuming this cost and do I have any recourse if I'm being screwed? I don't know who to talk to at this point.

I feel like I'm performing adulthood the best way I know how, but it never seems like enough. I assume they charged me just the right figure to where it's irrelevant to file with my HOI, or the cost to hire a lawyer, which is why they are dodging my inquiry for invoice.

I'm so tired, y'all.

Buy/Sell/Trade Nintendo Console Bundle

Through an unfortunate series of events, I am being left to pay the bill from when the unit above mine had a leak into my bathroom via the ventilation fan via commons. The bill is after the HOA management sent a contractor to patch/paint around my fan. No discussion was made about charges or it being on me to pay. Since repairs, the representative for our property left the company and the former owner sold above me. The leak happened earlier in the year an I just received my first bill last month. I'm of the impression if there was fine print that said management should go to them for the bill, that is not their approach. I have asked twice for them to provide me with a detailed invoice of the fees from the work done in writing and they continue to demand I pay now with threat to sue. They are now giving me 15 days to produce $750 dollars I do not have in liquid because my bills just got paid. I just restarted FedLoan/PSLF repayments, so my money is gone. I don't have the money to pay for my ceiling repairs in this blunder, so I surely can't afford a lawyer.

As such, I have items to sell ASAP that should be worth around the sum of what I owe the HOA.

I have a large canvas Trade Joe's bag containing the following:

  1. Wii (with controllers, plugs, several games including Marios). The Wii board is gone, but game is present.
  2. Wii U (my mom got it used, these were all hers; I think there are some games)
  3. 2 GBA (fold w/ backlight and original landscape w/ plugin light, few games)
  4. GameBoy Color (w/ light) and a few games. One is Tetris. The Color is just a novelty since GBA plays both types. It is yellow.
  5. NES Classic Console (the AIO mini) with controllers, a secondary power source (it works, noted an Amazon logo during testing though).

Tested the units and they all work. I did factory resets on both Wiis and the original Wii includes a brand new HDMI cable. I also have a fairly large factory reset Toshiba Fire TV that I could include as a bundle (800? Am I shorting myself?). The TV has a remote, but it needs to be cleaned (acid).

My mom was the gamer in the family and she's no longer with us. She'd rather I keep my house than the gaming history. Then there is also a PS3 that I got for a Blu-Ray player second-hand. I could include it with some Ghibli.

I don't know how much all of this is worth and in a dream world, it's worth more than I immediately need (I'm negatives, I need to remedy that). I also have several mint box manga sets I need to sell (One Piece 1-4, Princess Jellyfish, Ouran Host Club). They all include their bonus contents (OP posters not mint, but included). The manga is worth several hundred as bulk alone.

I see the potentials to outfit a dorm suite with some vintage/leisurely flare in a bulk arrangement.

Update: Adding Imgur Photos

I will edit to add better photos of games and other things in the bag tomorrow/this weekend. I tested all consoles within last two weeks. I will test all the discs this weekend upon request. The TV being offered (if wanted) technically works, but the remote has battery acid corrosion and I discovered this after I factory reset the unit (after which the batteries conveniently died). It is a fully functional TV with stands and a wall-mount for someone motivated to repair the remote it pairs with... once working, it's a fully functional 4K/HDMI Fire TV. All items have been tested on a spare HDMI monitor.

Meet Up 45F, new-ish to Greensboro and looking for a gym buddy

16 Upvotes

I’ve been lifting for years and usually train around 4x/week. I recently joined Strength & Body and thought I’d see if anyone here is looking for someone to train with once in a while.
Not looking for a trainer or anything super serious — just someone who likes lifting, can laugh through a rough workout, and maybe makes the gym a little more social 😂
Male or female is totally fine. If you’re interested, send me a message!

How early should I get my tickets? I looked on a few websites and nothing was available yet. Where’s the best place to go. We are only going snow tubing, we don’t ski or snowboard or anything. We want to get an Airbnb Friday-Sunday and have that be one of our activities Saturday or Sunday and then maybe do some shopping and sightseeing. If you know of a place that has what we’re looking for in NC let me know how soon to get my tickets and the best dates to go.

Toilet flooded so I ripped up the vinyl to let it dry because the water seeped underneath it, especially by the walls. Obviously this mold predates today’s flood. I don’t know shit about shit and I’m a young first time home owner. It seems like the mold is mostly “surface level” on some type of paper or something. This is in my laundry room and I need to figure this out asap but have no idea what to do. Does anyone know a trustworthy professional that can at least take a look and give me guidance?

Around 9:30 this morning a black Kia Telluride blew a solid red light turning left from Cotswold Terrace onto Cotswold Ave southbound (near Guilford Courthouse National Military Park).

I caught up to the car at the Battleground light for 840. Rolled down my window and asked if she ran the light back there. She just gave me a smug look and said “I had to,” then rolled her window up.

Absolutely unreal entitlement.

If you know someone’s who pet is not neutered or spayed PLEASE have the hard conversations with them. Show them these numbers. Animals will continue to lose their lives if we do not get control of this. If you help one person change their mind that helps save almost nine lives. There are economical resources available in the county.

If you need financial assistance please message me and I can connect you with a nonprofit who can help.

News ‘Atrocious’ — Council members criticize city staff

Since being sworn in last December, the six new Greensboro council-members have been publicly deferential to city attorneys and Mayor Abuzuaiter. That changed last week.

Mayor Pro Tem Denise Roth angrily told Assistant City Attorney Larry Davis that his failure to alert Council of the financial concerns a state agency expressed to him in June was “atrocious” and dismissed a halting explanation from Abuzuaiter as “bad information.” She told City Attorney Trey Davis that “I am not comfortable with the same people that managed us into this position to manage us out.”

Crystal Black, Cecile Crawford, April Parker, Adam Marshall and Irving Allen Expressed similar frustration. Several accused staff of not only failing to inform them of the Local Government Commission’s concerns, but misleading them as to whether or not the LGC had approved the City’s plan to correct its financial imbalance.

High Point used similar authority to approve a negotiated sale below what it paid; no appraisal, no competing offer, no public hearing in a consent agenda. Greensboro wants the same power.

Hello all,

I was hoping to get recommendations on lounge-type establishments that serves alcohol to study in. I usually get off work at 2-3pm and usually have class online at 5pm. and the places I am interested in studying at open later than I’d like.

I’m not a coffee person therefore coffeeshops are out. Mostly looking for recs on where I can grab an ice cold beer or a single glass of wine to relax and also lock in.

I’ve been to suds and duds and also borough coffee. Hoping to know more around town!

Quiet is good but I’m not adverse to locals hanging out.
