I am the president of a building association on a property of 5 similar buildings & boards. There is ofcourse a Master association which services the common areas such as pool, tennis courts, sidewalks, ponds, etc.

We recently had a unit owner sell during a time where the master association had a meeting about a special assessment budget to fix common area stuff. The attorney for the recent buyers is asking for a "Paid Assessment Latter" for this; However, the board has not voted to officially approve the budget since it is bigger spending and needs to recieve further approval from building delagate votes.

Who has the burden for providing the PAL? The master association claims it has no involvement with sales of units; however, the attorney is asking for a PAL on something the building board has no involvement with.

Advice?

Who would residents go to if they had questions about their accounts? If that's the master association, forward the letter to them and let them deal with it. If the sale went through before this special assessment was decided (and it sounds like it hasn't been), the previous owner can't be held responsible because he/she/they don't own it anymore.

If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it. Marcus Aurelius

The letter should come from the association creating the special assessment.

I agree.
