Answer 1

It is not possible that she was evicted and is still in the unit.   You are misstating facts.  Go evict her legitimately and your problem is over.  Also, you have the right to enter your unit over her objections if an emergency exists(fire hazard).  Who does Comed send the bill to or are they giving away electricity these days?

Your whole question makes very little sense.

By the way, the condo association is doing a "constructive eviction" by shutting off the electricity and could put themselves and you at the wrong end of an losing lawsuit.  Somebody ought to get their head screwed on straight!!

Answer 2

Go to court.

Answer 3

Be sure to thank the HOA board if the Judge rips you one

At this point, your defense relies on the fact you had no control over the HOA, you did not approve of the HOA actions, then push that the tenant's damage is minimal at this point, she has not paid rent for three months, she has basically moved out, you are just seeking possession, you personally have done nothing illegal and do not condone the HOA decision

Did they cut all the power or just the breaker that had the a/c on because of the fire, that may get you a little way with the judge if there was a legit fire issue with the circuit that the tenant refused to allow the HOA to fix, and the potential fire hazard to the whole condo

Answer 4

Who cares.  Prepare a counter motion GO to court, and hand it to the clerk.  Ask for back rent, damage, and loss use of property.  

The association was correct in cutting electricity - she represented an imminent risk to life, and property.  I an unsure why you did not have the sheriff, or constable physically move the tenant out after she was evicted.
