Re: Outrageous 2009 Maintenance Fees (by Karen B.):

During my call to pay my fees this year I questioned the increases and was told I should read the contract I signed upon purchase because it states that fees can increase up to 12% per year and that the increases have been less than that. Is this true? Admittedly I have not reviewed my contract but can tell you we paid 1,992 in 06 2,300 in 07 which was the largest jump in 08 it actually decreased to 2275 and for 09 a whopping 2,551.72. There is no set increase. It does seem an insane amount, but you have to admit that the units are really well maintained and there was a total renovation of phase 1 this year which I have yet to see first hand. I'm in on helping out but have no legal skills. KB
