Depending on the situation and circumstances, probably not. But there are times when you must grant any requested permission.

Read your governing documents to confirm that no entry into your unit is permitted by the association or any of its agents, except by written notice of some duration -- typically 72 hours. And then, with a stated purpose.

There are times, during an emergency, however, when entry into your unit is required without notifying you. For example, in the case of a water leak emanating from, or traveling through your unit, or fire, or smoke, or physical security and safety of the community. (This, too, is documented in your governing documents.)

If your association requires entry into your unit, and you fail to grant it, and in doing so, you compromise the maintenance, preservation or protection of the community's assets, you can become liable for any consequences. For example, if access is required to test your smoke detector, repair or replace your fire sprinkler system, clean your drier vent, it is reasonable that the association be granted access, which it must request in advance.

In an extreme case, such as that of a 'hoarder', where the upkeep of the unit's interior fails to meet the standard established in the association's governing documents, entry may occur. In such a case, the association's requirement to give you full and complete notice as to the purpose of inspecting the interior of your unit is required, as above.

Best practices dictate that you report any unannounced, unplanned, and non-permitted intrusion by the association or its officers or agents to your local police precinct, and notify the board and the association manager in writing of the incident, and of your action in reporting it.

Can a condo association show a movie?

It depends on who owns the movie and who wants to show the movie. If the movie has been produced and is owned by a private party, and the private party grants rights to the association to show the film, then yes. If, however, a member owns or has access to a copy of a DVD or VHS movie with an owned copyright, and the association wants to show the film as part of an association agenda/ invitation/ announcement/ requirement, the association must request permission from the copyright owner before showing the film. Otherwise, if a few residents gather in the game room or a private residence and play a DVD or VHS movie without association involvement, no permission would be required.
