But even doing so, so what? I don't see how suing me for that has any merit or damages (see below).
I should note I'm in Canada (didn't think of it in my original post) so our laws are a bit different than in the U.S. From what I understand - and could be wrong - the big key to winning is actually proving damages. You can't just say "Hey this person defamed me", etc. without showing how it actually hurt you. So unless the condo, it's residents or the management company can show "loss of property value" and that that loss has hurt them, or that any nuisance has somehow hurt them ... not much there.

how are they suing you?
all they have done is said can you change the whois address.
its not a big deal.
the info is incorrect. and if i lived at that address i would not be happy.
just change your whois info and i bet you never hear from them again.
you will have done what they asked.
they are unlikly to sue you as it would be coplex as in they would need to prove p[roperty prices have droped.
the only thing i could think is that the person living at that address could prove distress. ie, he has been getting unplesent phone calls from people thinking he/she does porn. or its affecting there work, ie, they are a teacher and have lost there job from it.
just change it now.
then forget about it.
