Sticker Shock-a surprise charge for renovation! (by Monte B.):
I own at Vistana Fountains in Orlando. I have a maintance fee that will be due in December for $698. I've been hearing for some time that the section my unit is in will be doing a "makeover" soon. Imagine my surprise when I received a notice in the mail today saying I will be billed an additional $1144.77 payable in 2 payments (Dec and April). At least they also explained why I wasn't asked to voice my opinion or vote on this refurbishment! BTW-I've actually seen resale units for not much more than this)
No real questions from me for you guys. I'm just wondering how you would feel if this happened to you. I guess I'm legally obligated & don't have any real options. I just hope if I'm able to sell it in the next year to at least get back the $1843 it's gonna cost me in the next few months.
