No. Thank you very much. Will the letter to the Association must be a Demand letter ?

A letter to the condo association requesting reimbursement does not necessarily have to be a formal demand letter, but it can be helpful. A demand letter often outlines your legal rights and the association’s obligations, which can strengthen your position. Would you like more details on how to format this as a demand letter?
