Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Jersey

Hi, I purchased a condo in 2007 and that same year I subscribed to satellite tv service. Since I do not own the exterior, I requested information from the housing association on what was required to install a satellite dish and was told (and have email proof) nothing special was required to install it as long as guidelines were followed. Those guidelines were that the dish had to be installed on the chimney chase and not on the roof or siding. This year, a new resolution was implemented which requires that a $250 escrow fee be sent to the association when installing a satellite dish which would pay for any damage if there was any when the dish is removed. If no damage is present, then the $250 is returned. However, this $250 fee is now being requested of me even though this fee was not in place in 2007 when I had the dish installed. My question is, can housing associations implement new fees and impose those new fees on homeowners for an installation that was done per the guidelines and rules at the time of installation? Even after sending the housing association email proof of what I was told back in 2007, I was told the $250 is still required of me.

Thanks in advance
