Best Answer

Your association probably cannot file a lien as a first, unannounced step, to 'get your attention' because you violated a 'rule'.

Apparently you are in dispute with your community's board based on covenants, regulations, limitations, conditions and so forth -- guidelines (rules) -- that you agreed to follow when you purchased your property.

First, read your governing documents to determine the issue. Dealing drugs from your back door is a different level of 'rule' from planting the wrong colour begonias in your hanging planter.

You will also find the steps that the association must take in advance of filing a lien against your title. A lien implies that money is involved, such as failing to pay your assessments, or refusing to pay a fine. (Breaking a 'rule' can result in a fine.)

If you have ignored the association's attempts to 'get your attention' based on your violation of the 'rule', and have allowed the matter to reach the state of 'filing a lien' on your title, best practices dictate that you handle the matter, pay the fine, which by now may include interest and attorneys' fees.

Can condo assoc located in Illinois place in unit owners credit report unpaid assessments?

If you owe assessments that are unpaid, you are in violation of the financial agreement you made with the association. The association is required to pursue you to collect this debt. You can read your governing documents to remember your obligation to pay assessments, and understand the steps that your association will take to collect your debt. Your board can tell you whether or not this honest debt has been reported to a credit agency.


How to sell a condo when association is delinquent?

You don't describe how your 'association is delinquent', so it's difficult to answer your question precisely. However, if the board is in violation of the governing documents, non-board member owners must gather to remedy the situation, potentially by electing a new board. The 'new' board needs the advice of counsel to determine how to recover from the actions or inactions of the delinquent association. Once a remedy is in place, selling your unit should be easier, since the issues have been identified and the new board is working toward a resolution. If there is no action on the part of owners to rectify association delinquencies, then selling your unit must include disclosing the issues to any potential buyer.

How can a corrupt HOA board be removed when they will not allow an election to take place and will not validate a recall petition based on loop holes and technicalities to invalidate removal efforts?

Concerned owners in this case are probably best advised to hire an association-savvy attorney who works for owners. Collect your evidence, and document a timeline that shows both alleged corruption and efforts by the board to resist owners' recall efforts. If owners interested in the recall followed the recall procedure in the governing documents, the attorney can help you identify ways to remove the directors.
