Domestic dispute angry neigbor


What is the name of your state? Illinois

I am curently an owner of a condo unit in a building containing 20 units. I recently had a domestc disturbance with my fiance at an early morning hour in which the police had to be call. I am quite embarrassed of the situation. I recently received a letter from my management company that they were going to evict my fiance who they refered to as my roomate. I have never been levied any fines for this noise problem in the past and have been residing in this unit with her for almost four years now. Do they have a legal right to do this? I feel I am being harrased by my upstairs neighbor who is also the board president. Should I consult a lawyer?

As the owner you are the only person who can evict someone from your unit. Can you post the exact wording of the letter you received. Either you misunderstood it or the mgmt company is mistaken in their power.

That's not true. SO NOT TRUE.

Condo boards and management companies are allowed to approve residents, and to withdraw that approval, owner, and especially if not the owner.

As to the 'fiance' thing. Legally speaking it doesn't mean a thing. He is your roomate.

The condo co. can evict him.

Depends on what's in the CC&R's I guess. Check those first. I've only ever seen such restrictions on coops, not condos. Although I have seen renting restrictions on condos.
