Do I need an Attorney for E&O Claim against Property Management?

[Jean Norton]

Two years ago I bought a Condo in Chicago.  The property management company that represents the Condo Association said I could furnish it and rent it monthly as a corporate rental, which I have done.

Now they state I must Cease and Desist as it is in violation of the Association's governing documents.

I don't mind following their rules. However, the cost for me to sell the furniture at fire sale rates, plus lost income during this phase (plus had to turn away and refund a corporate rental for a month), plus the losses incurred as a result of having to accept a lower income model is significant.

Had they properly represented the association and conveyed the rules appropriately, I never would have bought the condo.

I assume the property management company has E&O insurance, but I don't really know.

What is my recourse?
