They should have called their lawyer, because they thought the previous owner would pay the outstanding condo fees, (as is normally the case in a condo sale) before they got their estoppel certificate. But they weren't entitled to an estoppel, so they're on the hook for the outstanding fees. This particular person also just used the selling agent instead of getting their own realtor, which was also a mistake, imo. (Especially on a foreclosure)
