I'm in Nashville, TN; homeowner with an association. Quaterley fee at purchase which was increased and changed to a single payment. Without any delinquent letters sent, I received in the mail a notification for lein from a lawyer. I spoke directly to the Assos president and to the BOD president and to the said lawyer and voiced my concern that a reminder letter should have been sent before such an action was taken. I then paid the dues except the lawyer's fee base on what the lawyer said at the time. 7 mths later, I am served with a summon to appear in court next month.
1. Are delinquent letters required before a lein is placed?
2. Can the association demand lump sum payment if that was not part of the original covenant?
3. Am I entitled to pay the lawyer's fee considering no previous notification was surrendered allowing to make the payment?
4. What should my arguement be in court?
5. How do I check to know if a lein was put on my home?
The yearly fee was dued in April 2000, I made my last quarterly payment in February of the same year- 2000.
There are definitely violations of the covenant as far as the housing division maintainance is concerned.
