Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Dennis D.):

Yes , I assume the case won't go on forever. Yes, to use it or rent it, you must pay the dues. Not paying has unknown consequences. If you think non payment hurts Eichner, it doesn't. He just rents out the vacant spaces. It has become much easier to get the dates you want if you pay. Easier then before all this. I don't think you are going to convince enough people to stop using the Manhattan club to cause some sort of collapse of who or what and that collapse would work well for all of us. Wait for the courts.

I did not notice that the opinion of those in the know at the August 2 meeting was to 'Use it, rent it out'. If you want to "use it or rent it" you have to pay the dues. The dues cover the developer's prosecution expenses. If the owners continue to pay the dues that will be an albatross not only for the current owner but for their heirs and beneficiaries. The MC annual budgets and the AG's conclusion demonstrate that the MC profitability comes out from the dues not from the renting the rooms to the public.

I stopped paying the fees last year supplying my decision with the strong email letters to the MC explaining my decision. Since then I did not receive any solicit phone calls or emails from the collectors.
