Question: My apartment community has changed ownership several times since I moved in 4 years ago. I discovered that my unit was wired to provide electricity for one of the apartment amenities that was outside of my unit. The management has fixed the problem but they are only offering to reimburse me for the time that they owned the property, about 13 months and told me that I would have to track down the previous owners for the rest of the money. Should they be obligated to pay a rebate for the 3 years that I was paying for their electricity or do I indeed need to take it up with the previous owners

Answer: This is hard to answer without review the contract for sale between the old and new owwers but generally the new ower would assume the liabilities of the previous owner. If you are unable to work it out you could file an action in small claims courts against the current and previous owners.
