Property Management won't respond with final demand - blocks sale

[Katrina Cabral]

Aloha,

I sold my condo in Waikiki on August 5th and the Property Management HOA requested that escrow withhold an amount about $20K in excess of what they should have. Escrow responded that this seemed incorrect and asked for confirmation from the accounts receivable clerk. She got a quick reply that yes that is the amount requested. So, I sent the AR clerk an email asking for clarification - she admitted that she wasn't sure and escalated the question to management and we got no reply. The only person that responds to emails and calls is the AR clerk who is ashamed that no one else is responding. Escrow has tried to get a reply, and now another party involved in the transaction has tried to get a reply and we all get nothing. It has been two months now.

It seems like there must be a law against this. I can't get escrow to release my money to me. This is non-sense. What rights do I have to demand an end to this and get my money?
