Do owners know that when they sue their condo association they sue themselves?
Some know, some do not know. Condominium-savvy owners understand that they purchased property that operates as a private democracy based on the governing documents in effect over the association.

What reasons can a condo association be sued?
(In America, anyone can pretty much sue anyone for most any reason.) The association is a corporation. Your governing documents and the state association law govern their responsibilities, limitations and actions. If you believe -- and have evidence -- that the association's board has acted illegally, you can sue them. You can find an association-savvy attorney willing to take your case, and begin there with your stories, proofs and evidence. However, in the case of the association, remember that if you are an owner, some of your assessment dollars are being used by the association to defend itself against your suit.

What happens if a resident can not pay a condo association assesment?
If a condo resident can't pay an association assessment, the repercussions can vary depending on the bylaws of the association and state laws. Typically, the association might first reach out to the resident to discuss payment arrangements. If the resident continuously fails to make payments, the association may resort to more serious actions, from charging late fees and interest, to placing a lien on the property, or even pursuing a foreclosure. The key is early, open communication to prevent things from escalating. Address the issue as early as possible to find a solution. I've seen similar situations in buildings we managed at Daisy and what worked best was proactive communication and working out a reasonable payment plan.
