Georgia Real Estate Law Question?

Georgia Real Estate Law QuestionHello I bought a condo about 2 months ago, they are now talking about closing the community pool, can they do this and if so can I take them to court to get the loss of values that will be assessed. I have talk to an agent and they said it would drop my value by around $15,000.00 Thanks for your help.

Answer:

As agents, we CANNOT answer or give LEGAL advice when it pertains to the law. I would most definately contact a Real Estate Attorney, and ask this question too. I personally feel that this didn't just pop up last month, if they are discussing the possiblity of closing the pool then there is a reason, and has probably been in the works for several months. Contact the seller's agent and ask if they were aware of this, and then contact an attorney. You may find an attorney on here, but make sure they know the law according to YOUR state that you reside in. I would think that there is a recoarse that you would have, but then again, I have personally experienced situations where I could not believe that the association was allowed to get away with what I thought was clear robbery! CALL A RE ATTORNEY!! Good luck, and keep me posted please! I would be really upset myself if this was happening to me.
I really hate HOA and that's is why I just purchased a home that doesn't have one. I guess you could take them to court but that is expensive also.
the valuables is envisioned to be vacated on the time of final or till now. in case you enable the landlord to stay previous final, you have a de facto tenant, and in the event that they do no longer leave as agreed, you will ought to evict them. as a strategies because of the fact the $3,000 exterior of settlement is going, specific, it is against the regulation. Any monies that are tendered by way of the supplier for maintenance would desire to be interior the settlement, and indexed on the HUD contract form.
There are full disclosure laws. You won't be able to sue the association but you may possibly sue the seller if he knew that could possibly happen and could affect the value of the property. The last townhouse that I sold, I had to disclose that the cedar siding would be replaced in the near future and that the homeowner would be accessed for the cost (special assessment).
