In the HDFC I live in there is a person who is a hoarder, the way we found out was due to a leak that she was not letting us in and the shareholder under her apt. call fire department and they told us of the situation. On top of this she is in arears again. What can we do legally to get her out of for her to clean??? please help!!!
Join the Conversation Comments (1)Unfortunately, We too have the same problem! We called protective services and the exterminator. Yeah it was that bad. Protective Services were able to come in do an evaluation, and is getting him help mentally, and get someone to clean out apt. That does not help with the arrears. This is not the first time this happens, and we are looking to see what can be done in the future. He has no family we know of. We are still in the early stage. Don't really know just yet what is next. Thanks for the legal suggestion.

Your first call should have been to the co-op's attorney. There are several issues at play here which need to be discussed with the attorney and the Board.
1) Arrears - the shareholder is not living up to their legal financial obligation.
2) Hoarding - an issue that affects the health and safety of all shareholders, in
addition to the property value of the co-op.
The fact that you're an HDFC may affect the way that the Board can approach this delicate situation. Let attorney provide the needed legal guidance. You definitely don't want any legal missteps in this complicated situation.
Good luck and keep us posted.
