Your association is lying to you! It’s not you! It’s them!
When you complain about a problem with your condo/home, and they tell you they can’t do anything about it, most times they can!
In fact, most Common Elements which HOAs and Condo Associations have sole responsibility to maintain or repair are the following:
Exterior building (roof, siding, windows, and doors)
Landscaping and groundskeeping
Parking lots and garages
Sidewalks and walkways
Clubhouses, pools and recreation rooms
Lighting for common areas, and more
