Personally, I feel that he is violating his fiduciary duty as a trustee. As long as he is a trustee, he is supposed to be acting in the best interests of the HOA. All of the things that were mentioned in the $500 are the basic tasks that a member of an HOA. Was he contributing anything toward that $500 cost when he owned the unit or was he expecting you and the other unit to split between yourselves?

The remaining unsold unit was the biggest, so had the highest HOA fee of $425, so he would deposit $425 and withdraw $500 each month.

Yeah, f that guy. He is trying to pull a fast one. It depends upon how far you want to take it, but you could just refuse to pay and have him sue you, at least that leaves the decision about whether it’s owed up to the judge. He would also have to explain how he arrived at that exorbitant fee. That’s my initial inclination, but it depends upon how you and the other HOA members feel. At the amount of money we’re talking about here, it could be worthwhile for you and the other owners to split an initial attorney consultation.
