What is the name of your state? Florida

My husband and I are in the process of buying a condo and the board's representatives are making the process a living hell for us!

First of all the condo is not run by a management company, it is self run with a total of five unit owners as board members, who supposedly 'volunteer their time'! For the purchase/sale procedure, we've been put in touch with the president and vice president. Therein begins the problem - they return calls at their own whim and nit pick at everything! They will not speak to anyone who calls, not my brokers office trying to get me unit insurance - no one!

The lastest of their nit pickings has been on my husbands vehicle which is a f150 and according to board rules it is an oversized vehicle. The thing is, other vehicles on the property are just as big as my husband's including other f150s and Vans. They claim those vehicles have been grandfathered in (residents lived there for years with those vehicles) and such a privelege cannot be given to us because we are new owners!:mad:

We've tried suggesting solutions such as alternate parking etc. They will stop at nothing until we get rid of the truck completely:mad: :mad: Can they do this, they are getting on our last nerve, everytime we try to move ahead and close the sale they come with another BS problem! Help what should I do?

Find another condo to buy. Do you really want to live there if these people are such jerks?

Can they do this
Can't be answered without actually reading their bylaws and Articles of Incorporation... but very likely that they can.

Help what should I do?
Either comply with the rules of the condo... or find a property elsewhere.
You can't force everyone to 'like' or accept you.

Not really, but excepting board meetings etc., you can de guaranteed we'll have nothing to do with them!:mad: And on the other side, why should we give up on something we like just cuz someone gives us a hard time?

As for being liked, as JETX mentioned -- I'm not running for the Ms. Congeniality title here, I/we could give a rats.... if they like me/us. We just want to buy the unit and move on with our lives.

I'm pretty sure such favoritism (regarding the trucks) is referred to as dealing with 'unclean hands' am I way off?

YES you are!

You are a fool to get entangled with this property thinking you will go in and CHANGE things at this point.

Listen to me! Don't come with your abrasive attitude to further aggravate my senses today!!!:mad: If I am a fool you are below being a fool for you have chosen to speak logic and sense to someone who can't comprehend it!!!:mad:

If you really want to help me with LEGAL ADVICE explain how I would be far off on the 'unclean hands' issue. I figure you might be on to something about tangling with these people, are you saying I should just give up on this?:confused:

Okay, I think we just found out the REAL reason why the Condo board doesn't want you as an owner. Their 'bitch quota' is already full.
