Re: property manager against condo owner
I assume the fines are levied by the condo association. Your
responsibility as the owner is determined by the CC&R's. If they impose
the fines on the owner, even when the unit is rented, you are responsible. You
may be able to sue the tenant, but a suit against a Section 8 tenant rarely
results in collected money.
If the imposition of the fines was proper, it is possible that a lien against your property
could also result. A judgment from small claims court can also be recorded and create a lien.
