I got a handwritten letter through the door yesterday, supposedly from our estate's Resident's Association (no real names were signed). They are looking for €50 from each house to pay a gardener and will call looking for it soon.
It is not specified what it is this gardener is going to be doing - I would have assumed that any gardening work of communal areas (not that there are many) would be done by the council.
This is also the first I've heard of any Resident's Association.
Has anybody come across this sort of thing before? Is this normal? Am I under any obligation to pay up? I have to say I'm suspicious of handwritten letters looking for money.
