If you have an estoppel letter stating that there are no outstanding dues or fees owed the HOA cannot pass any past due amounts on to you. That estoppel letter is binding.

An estoppel letter is a legal document that outlines information regarding the current owner's financial standing in regards to the HOA, what is due and what has not been paid. It also indicates any assessments that are in progress or projected. The estoppel letter is legally binding. Negotiations often result between sellers and buyers once an estoppel letter is received and the negotiations determine who will be responsible for paying any amounts due. It is the responsibility of the buyer's attorney to make certain the buyer takes title with a clean slate.

On the other hand, if the HOA is billing you for amounts due prior to your taking title that were reported in the estoppel letter then you need to call the attorney who represented you at your closing and forward the bills. Presumably, they didn't do their job. It would be a serious oversight on the part of that attorney if the outstanding fees and dues were not paid at the closing and the attorney should pay them.

My office landlord ask me to sign an Estoppel certificate. Estoppel states that i have paid all annual rent & other charges up to date. I am a few months behind on rent. Should i sign this Estoppel Cert. Appreciate all advice. Thanks?

The landlord is trying to get a loan against the property. In order to do this, he must prove that the leases/rents are up-to-date and that the property is being managed well to assured it as a source of payment for the new loan. The Estoppel Certificate proves that rent is coming in on time on the property. In your case, this is not true, but it doesn't do the landlord any good to say that you are behind on the rent and that he has allowed this to happen. On the other hand, he's asking you to do him a favor to support him in getting this loan. Given that you are behind, he could easily start eviction proceedings. But to sign the certificate is an effort to defraud. Make a plan to get caught up on the rent, even if it is a little bit extra each month and sign a private agreement with the landlord about that. If the arrangements are made between the two of you to clear up the arrears, perhaps that could be considered a "current" arrangement and you could sign the Estoppel in good faith.

What is the doctrine of estoppel?

An estoppel is a preclusion, in law, which prevents a man from alleging or denying a fact, in consequence of his own previous act, allegation or denial of a contrary tenor. That is, a person may not legally argue against his own words or acts. It is a bar or impediment (obstruction) which precludes a person from asserting a fact or a right, or prevents one from denying a fact. Such a hindrance is due to a person's actions, conduct, statements, admissions, failure to act, or judgment against the person in an identical legal case. Estoppel includes being barred by false representation or concealment (equitable estoppel), failure to take legal action until the other party is prejudiced by the delay (estoppel by laches), and a court ruling against the party on the same matter in a different case (collateral estoppel).
