What to do if I own a condo with another person who is not paying their condo fees?

I have not lived in the property for 2 years. I am filing my bankruptcy to discharge debt on this condo because there is no other way due to credit to remove my name from the mortgage. Is there any way to remove my name from being held responsible for the condo fees? Will signing a quit claim deed remove that obligation I know that it does not remove my name from the mortgage.

The only way for you to no longer be responsible for the monthly association fees for the condominium that you have an interest in are as follows;

1. you sell or transfer your interest in the unit;

2. the loan is refinanced where you give up your interest in the unit;

3. file for bankruptcy protection and have your debts discharged.

Signing the quit claim deed will eliminate the HOA monthly fees that you are obligated upon as to the unit.
