Out of control condo association

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Illinois.

We are being evicted by a Condo association. They are citing section 18 of the Condominium Property Act. We are leasing the unit from the owner. They are stating we can’t legally stay here. We were given a 10 day notice. Is this the right amount of time we should have been given? They also sent us a bill for 1645.00 as being assessments to the property. We never were given a bill for this amount, we have receipts for the rent we paid until the landlord died. It appears we will be paying for money HE owed, which was discharged in bankruptcy. They also gave notice in May, but figured the amounts until July. (I heard through the grape vine)We stayed here for 2 additional months after he died as he kept our security deposit and he also had us do work he said he would reimburse us (with rent). The 2 months was over in May and we have essentially been squatters since then. 2 key points, one we never got any kind of a bill from anyone, so we did not want to just pay anyone. The other point is they have never put a handicapped parking sigh, as we requested in writing per HUD requirements. They even asked why we would have a 2nd floor apt, when our son is Handicapped, insinuating he is not.

First unless your written lease says you are to pay assessments to the board the bill for those charges needs to go to your LLs estate. When was your lease to expire? What ever failings /shortcomings the building has were between your LL and the board NOT you. If It were me I would speak to a real estate atty to get advice regarding the notice the board gave you, and make plans to find another place to live if the atty gives advice to do so. At the worst the estate could try to evict you for non payment.

**A: what are the reasons you are being evicted? If due to violation of House Rules or condo CC&R's, then the HOA is in the right.
