Purchasing a foreclosure or REO property: When Association’s demand that you pay six months’ worth of expenses, do you have to?
Under what circumstances and to what extent are purchasers of a condominium unit at a foreclosure sale or from a mortgagee liable to an association for unpaid assessments? The Condominium Property Act is ambiguous on this point. Associations, unsurprisingly have defined “common expenses” to include assessments, fines, late fees, court costs and attorney fees.
