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.
