If they didn't follow through on their side of the agreement which is to represent you then you can always report them to the licensing commission and have litigation for what money they lost you due to their negligence.  

These cabinets become damage after a water leak occurs and the tenant doesn't say anything until months after the leak.The Fix:I spray flex seal (rubber in a spray can) inside every cabinet with a water line inside; this will protect particle board "wood" base from negligent tenants. 

However that person was not liable as it was not intentional and they wete not deemed negligent.  

I'm an independent consultant, and if I neglected to inform my clients about significant issues - well - I wouldn't have any clients and they'd probably sue me for 'negligence'. 

HOA is refusing to help out with any of the repairs as it states in the condo declaration "the association shall not be liable for damage to property caused by the elements or resulting from water which may leak or flow from outside or from any parts of the building except to the extent of any insurance proceeds available"In my eyes this is clearly their fault due to negligence, poor installation, poor maintenance and inspection of the building and they should be paying for all of the repairs to my unit or at least some of it.Are they exempt from liability in this situation due to what is stated in the declaration?

a broken window is tenant negligence, not on the landlord.  

What kind of negligence would you need to do to loose a lawsuit that big??

Apparently, due to their negligence, there was a lien on the property that needed to be paid by the seller (the bank), which should have been picked up from day one of the title search.

Yet, especially in tenant-friendly locations, judges continue to find landlords at fault for negligence, even when codes do not require such protections.
