Sure they can take the apt. Jan 23, 2014

I do not have coops; I hate the fact that there is no law that protects our home. What they doing to Joe is extortion . Joe document everything. First why is managing collecting money for a shareholder. They are there to manage the building not as a collection company for an individual. Go back to what exactly happen on the day of the incident. It sounds to me like a fraud. Have you here of people who provoke car accidents to collect from the insurance company. To me it is very suspicions that the guy instead of talking to Joe said the management will handle this. The manager should only sent a letter to Joe not harass him and his family by trying to collect money without even telling him who is this money going to. I suggest you send a letter to the board and managing questing why are they doing this; it is not their job. If the person wants to get pay he should ask Joe directly; Joe acted in good faith but they did not.
To me this is harassment, extortion and worst because there is an 82 year old person involved.
Yes they can take the apt. If you leave your father in law alone they will call social service and claim he can't be by himself and send him to a nursing home. Then they will sell the apt probably for a very low price to somebody on the board, from the management company or a family or friend of them. They will deduct everything they want to claim that they spend and your wife will get a few pennies or nothing. THAT IS REALITY.
STAY there and find the link I told you about the best way to inherit a coop. You are there to take care of an elderly and that is your home. Send a letter to management questing their roll on this, copy all members of the board and let them know if they do not stop you will file a complain with the attorney general. If they do not stop file with AG.
By the way another way to get your apt is to make you an undesirable tenants. They used all kind of duty trI do not have coops; I hate the fact that there is no law that protects our home.

By the way when they want your apt they make you an undesirable tenants; which I think in your case they are working on it. I am sure this is making your family very upset or depressed; this is not good for an 82 year old person. If they persist contact the human rights. Your step father has the right to spend his last days in peace.
Go to COOPABUSE.COM to read about horror coop stories. After your wife inherit the coop you can sell or keep it. But if you keep it you need to make sure to work to change the laws because we have no protection at all against the abusers. Or if you have a slave mind you stay there and take the abuse. I do not have a slave mind to I will make sure the laws are changed to protect our coop home; just like any other American home. Feel free to email me at ROSA,NAZAR@GMAIL.COM

I meant I do not hate coops. Actually I "own" a coop since 1987. The worst decision in my life. In a coop one does not own anything except the certificate of shares which means nothing againt the power and abuse of the boar. To change laws to protect our home go COOPABUSE.COM and email me at ROSA.NAZAR@GMAIL.COM
