Re: Homeowners association
If a demand letter was in fact sent, you are responsible for attorney fees under Pennsylvania law. I suggest you request a copy of the letter. Under the condomium act attorney fees are the responsibility of a party in default. It seems a little high to charge about $500 for writing a letter. Check the fees may be less if you pay before a law suit is filed. However, if you can not resolve this matter and a legal action is filed for attorney fees you will be responsible for payment of those fees. Suggest you act promptly to avoid other fees. You might want to consider appealing to the Board to waive the fees. Gerald Hershenson Esq. 215-579-9390
