VerifiedGood morning. The association and its manager are acting outside their authority and need to be spanked. In this situation, an owner such as you would typically send a letter....by certified mail....to the association, the board members, and the manager detailing the situation and demanding they stop demanding the rent from the tenant. The letter would inform them all that if this is not remediated within a short specified period of time, the owner will have no choice but to file a suit naming the association, the manager, and each board member for both actual and punitive damages due to the bad faith of the manager and gross negligence and callous disregard of the association and board members for their lack of control over the management. This is usually all that is necessary, but if not, file the suit.
