[condo] [WA] Washington State - HOA scheduling hearing to force entry into my unit after I sent a demand letter - need attorney
Location: Everett, Washington State
I am a 68 year old retired woman living on Social Security who used a reverse mortgage and every dollar I had left after a devastating divorce to purchase a condominium in August 2024.
The association’s own engineering reports documented catastrophic structural deterioration requiring emergency shoring across multiple buildings on the same property at the time I purchased. The property manager’s own attorney had filed an insurance claim for property damage at that address 52 days before my resale certificate was signed.
She doubled the water damage deductible at a board meeting five weeks before signing and said nothing.
Five months after I moved in she authorized an unlicensed, uninsured, suspended contractor to access my building, the same contractor whose defective 2019 roof installation had already been documented, and they flooded my home. I was displaced for 270 days.
My insurer Allstate investigated independently and filed an active lawsuit in Snohomish County Superior Court naming the management company as a defendant.
I have 520 paragraphs of their own documents proving systematic fraud and negligence.
The property manager has treated me with contempt throughout, denied me reimbursement she paid to other displaced residents, and has never taken responsibility.
The HOA has now scheduled a formal board hearing for May 21 to vote on whether they have the right to force entry into my unit. I did not request repairs.
I sent a monetary demand which they refused.
I am a retired senior on Social Security with no resources for a large retainer. I need an attorney willing to be compensated through Washington’s Consumer Protection Act mandatory attorney fee provision or a contingency arrangement.
Looking for any help or referrals in Washington State.
PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME.
