There are very few states that place caps on special assessments. A quick Google search of Massachusetts law indicates that no limitation exists for condos in your area. So yes, your condo can charge you that amount.

Special assessments are absolutely horrendous – but they can be necessary. Maybe your condo is due for an upgrade or maybe the pool isn’t up to code anymore. Even if you don’t use the pool, you still have to pay the assessment. And since that’s your deal with your landlord, you’re on the hook for it. Sorry about your situation but that’s the sad reality of community associations.

“Condo boards have a duty to make sure common areas and elements are up to standard. If you don’t have a reserve fund, special assessments are the next option for major repairs and replacements. Unfortunately, you do have to pay the special assessment. However, it’s likely you only have to pay it once. Godspeed.

PS. You may want to start using the pool.”
