Are HOA office members able to mistreat the owners in this way?
I own an apartment condo in Tampa, FL. I been having a lot of problems with my HOA members. One day(few months ago) my breaker suddenly stopped working. it keeps turning off and has grown weaker. i try to only run one thing at a time now. like AC alone or water heater alone or just washer alone and no dryer.however, one day i had all those off and it turned off and the maintenance person i go to in oder to turn it on is now refusing to do it. saying i must go through the office and ask for a key. (the main breaker is outside is locked) so my access to my breaker is so limited that when it turns off its off for several hours. sometimes almost all day. I goes to the office asking for a key, but i am refused. telling me no i cannot have one because other people breakers are in the box. to have a key all must have the keys and they refuse to do it. at this point i am upset and asked them what am i suppose to do? they gave me an number to call (the maintenance guy #) told me it was free but i shouldn't expect "hotel service". i wait several hrs to come unlock the box and flip the breaker. (like 10-11pm from morning/early afternoon) now i am being charged a fee of $25 just to unlock the box because this is considered "extra service". I am getting abused by my HOA members. They disrespect me and my rights and blame me saying im the one being rude and disrespectful. i never yelled,badmouthed,or been rude. i talked to them in a serious and upset tone after being denied and refused my rights. they argue they are not there to serve us. I pay my HOA fee every month no fail. i been called a lair, disrespected, and abused. I been to the doctor to get stress medication, because all this is having serious affect to my condition. yesterday i felt i was about to have a heart attack, i try so hard not to talk to them not to get worked up but i cannot stand for this when i know i should not have to. i do not want to take pills, i do want these problems but it keeps adding and i feel worse each day. i break down and cry and get angry and get stress and i panic and i feel like i cannot breath from all these stress and abuse. Are they allow to get always with this? Should i be treated in such a way and have no rights? I am trying to contact a lawyer for this as well. but it becoming diffcult to get the copy of papers i need from the HOA, since they say its not their responsiblie and i will charged for copies i never gotten(that i was suppose to be given to me when i bought the apartment).
