Sweetheeart Deal Leaving Us Broke!Sep 01, 2013

When our building went co-op some 20+ years ago, the former owner was given a contract which enables him to collect rent from the commercial properties in our building. He pays no assessments, no maintenance nor any utility bills. The loss of this income is negatively affecting our co-op as we operate with a constant deficit.
Where do we start trying to find a way out of this situation?
