Last one I was reading lately was Shook v Walden, a Texas third court of appeals case.

Then the Attorney will have some skin ( her/his ***) in the game if anything goes wrong and you can retain them for a reasonable rate.If you have any other paperwork, a first year Law Student should be able to rip it (and you) to shreds in Court, unless you have Legal training.

Hello BP gang,Lately I have been doing plenty of due dilligence on the subject of probate and have taken my first action steps, including scouring the public record files at the court building as well as looking thru the newspaper public notices...

Evictions are different, I have never had to do one in Chicago but I hear it can take months to get a court date.  

The leases we recently got from a new purchase state that they do not allow holdover tenancy, and the consequences (paying for extra days, paying for expedited cleaning, and the possibility of being taken to court to pay for the expenses of the incoming tenants) to discourage this.  

I am interested in buying a home from HomeSearch and I have reviewed the Lis Pendens from the court records.

But with all of the new renovations you mentioned, I doubt that it would.I once did an appeal and they sent me a letter claiming that I had to let them in before our day in court.

Information age internet etc. access to information for the beginner investor that just 20 years ago you really had to know how to work a court house and that was a major bar to entry in the day.

If the lawyer responds siding with the HOA then I would contact the Master Insurance Policy company and send them the same info you sent the lawyer.Lastly you have to decide what value you place on your time, stress, and if you are a professional landlord who treats their rentals as a business and file a Civil court case for damages, attorneys fees, filing fees, court costs, and any collection fees can be amended to a judgment and added later.It would be in your best interest Now to start accumulating any evidence you can (emails sent addressing the issue, pictures of repair people and/or water heater in neighbors unit, phone logs notifying the HOA of this issue, repair bills from leaking water heater damage.)Good Luck

It has been battle tested in many court rooms already.To your successJosh
