Re: Maintenance Fees (by Mary D.):

Whoever occupied our condo before, actually pulled the towel rack in the master bedroom bath, completely out of the wall. We had just moved in and maintenance came, fixed the wall and came back while were gone and painted the wall. No the towel rack was not replaced, but at least we did not have holes in the wall. Do we like the increase in fees, no, but maybe the users are part of the problem with the damage the do while staying there. .

======= Ouch! Missing or insufficient towel bars are a sore point with me. I regularly campaign for enough so that damp towels can actually hang to DRY instead of being tossed in a corner to mold. But I have had reps show me where towel bars have been pulled off the wall as you mention. He said they just repair the wall. Still, if a bar is attached to the studs as it should be, why shouldn't it be just as stable as a grab bar? A yank on the towel should not dislodge a properly installed bar. I really doubt that people are chinning themselves.
