Hi all.. Hey, have a situation here with 3 condominiums, 2 pay all bills on time the other is about 5 months behind on all bills. This is rough as he has finally fallen behind enough to have tapped out the reserves and next month we (the other 2 condo owners) will finally have to start dipping into our pockets if we want continue to pay our bills on time.
We have informed his mortgage company and they have assured us that they will pay the bill if he does not within 10 days... Here is my question:
This guy seems headed for foreclosure or some other option.. what can we as co-owners do so that this guy does not end up sticking us with all kinds of bills before he is through? I mean, even if his mortgage company pays us... next time he will go 5 months again and then go bankrupt and well.. awful as this is... we figure we lose in the end (He has moved a tenant into the unit and basically disappeared... although seems to drop by to get his rent check... no forwarding address, of course).
Any thoughts on what we should be doing to protect ourselves? We are in Massachusetts.
Thank you in advance for any time spent on this... AND remember... I am a plumber... (*LAUGH*)... will be glad to help back if I ever can. Thank you.
