Outrageous 2009 Maintenance Fees

Paul, you may see that I raised this issue last year when I was concerned about buying at Atlantis. I did buy a resale week 12 but the fees have been going up more than i even expected. I am not sure what can be done. I think a website is a good idea to get a number of owners organized. We also need to gather all of the documents to better understand whatever rights we may have--or not. I expect people who bought directly from the developer may have a better case for misrepresentation because I know they did not tell prospective buyers that the fees would increase the way they have. At a minimum we need to provide a letter from as many owners as possible demanding a more thorough accounting of the fees and expenses. The problem is do really be effective we need money for an audit firm, for lawyers and for IT people and I am not sure people will be able to pull all of that together.
