Our HOA never gave us a key to the common areas. I live in a condo with multiple buildings and pools we need access to. My husband asked the management company and they said our previous owner should’ve given it to us (wtf) and now we need to pay $50 for a new key… I looked in the rules and there is nothing about receiving a key, only cost to replacing. How is this okay?? I can’t use the pool I pay $400 a month for— I need to pay $50 to use it??

Also- What’s the difference between the management company and the HOA? I am confused why we had to pay management company and why they are enforcing us paying when the HOA never gave us the key.
