It's a good idea to check with the current owner -- the bank, or whomever owns the unit -- before entering it.

For safety and security reasons -- to inspect for potential frozen pipes, turn off the hot water heater, set minimum heat in cold winter months, and so forth -- the association may be in a more immediate position to ascertain what tasks must be completed to verify that an empty unit poses no hazard to the community overall, than the current owner.


Your governing documents may also describe the minimum notice period and form of notice required prior to unit entry, with the extra tip that posting a notice of intent to enter on the door might be a good idea.


Upon entry, it will be a good idea to document the tasks to be performed, the names of the people who entered the unit -- usually two -- the time and date, and other key details. Leave a copy of the entry log on a counter in clear view, simply to produce transparency in this board action.

When a condominium association has a right of first refusal in their declarations what does that mean?

It depends on what the association has '...a right of first refusal' over. Legally, the right of first refusal is a contracted right that gives the holder -- association in this case -- the option to enter into a business transaction with the owner -- probably of real property in this case -- according to a unique set of terms, before the owner can enter into a transaction with a third party. If the association has the right of first refusal over the purchase of a unit, then, in order to sell the unit to a buyer other than the association, a seller must first offer the unit for sale to the association, and the association must refuse to purchase the unit. Once the transaction has been refused, the owner can sell the unit to a buyer other than the association. The terms of the right of first refusal can include a price, a payment plan and so forth.


Condominium foreclosure by hoa in Florida?

It's unclear from your question who owns the property, who is foreclosing on the unit and the reason for the foreclosure. If you own the property, and you owe money -- either to a lender, to a tax authority or to the association for over-due assessments -- foreclosure should not be a surprise. Foreclosure is usually accomplished either by a lender, a tax authority including the IRS, a co-owner, or the association. Before action for foreclosure begins, the owner has been notified, warned, advised and otherwise informed of options in lieu of foreclosure, but that foreclosure is a possibility. If not before now, the foreclosure action has your attention. You can attempt to work out a different result with whomever has taken the foreclosure action, which may prevent you losing your residence.
