Stefanie owns a condominium unit. Each month she is assessed a condominium assessment fee. For several months the health club at the condominium has not been open except on weekends and the landscaping has not been cared for regularly. Stefanie has complained a number of times to the association board, but has not received any positive response. Stefanie decides that she will not pay the monthly assessment. Is this a good idea? Can Stefanie defend against any attempts to collect the fee?
Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).
It is a bad idea for Stefanie not to pay the monthly assessment. In most states a condominium owner’s obligation to pay the assessment is unconditional. The owner must pay even if the association is not providing all the services required of it. Failure to pay gives the association a lien upon Stefanie’s unit for amount of the delinquent assessment. This lien can be foreclosed and the unit sold to pay the assessment. The association can also sue Stefanie for the unpaid assessment.
