Homeowner associations are not in the business of 'approving' persons -- for any reason.
If a default judgement has been filed against you, best practices dictate that you work with a common-interest community-savvy attorney to resolve the matter.
Generally, when you purchase a property that is subject to membership in a Homeowner's Association, you are subject to all the terms and provisions in the Declaration and Rules & Regulations and a judgment can be pursued for unpaid assessments.
If membership is voluntary and you didn't join then the association has no power to assess you.
A default judgment is issued by a judge in a civil court. It is a civil procedure matter. You were sued by some entity and a default judgment means you didn't appear in court to defend your position and the court accepted whatever proof the HOA submitted. If the HOA records the judgment in the land records you can't sell or mortgage your property until the lien is paid. Interest will accrue on the debt quickly at a statutory rate. In Massachusetts that rate is 12%.
Is your florida home with homestead protected against a judgement
Jail
If the judgment was not perfected as a lien against the property (which is almost impossible in Florida), the property is not encumbered and the title should be clear, thereby not causing a problem with the sale. The judgment holder will probably be able to execute the judgment as a bank account levy and/or seize funds garnered from the sale of the homestead.
Your attorney can help you answer this question, since it requires a legal answer.
YES, if they get a judgment against you, garnishment is next.
If your creditor has obtained a judgment against you, yes.
The judgment can be executed as a bank account levy or wage garnisment or liens against real property solely owned by the judgment debtor or to seize and liquidate any unexempt property that is owned by the judgment debtor.
If the association owes you money, you can take your evidence to an attorney who can help you take the appropriate action against the association.Generally, you would file suit against the association and if you prevail you would request a judgment lien to reach any assets that belong to the association. That would most likely be a bank account. The judgment lien would enable you to attach the association's account and freeze those funds.In my jurisdiction the seizure would be accomplished through the local sheriff's department. Your attorney will explain your options once she/he has reviewed your situation.
A judgment can be against either the person or their property. A personal judgment is against the individual's assets or income, while a lien on property is against the person's property.
Yes. If someone has gotten a judgment against you & you have failed to pay them, they can file for a wage garnishment also.
Yes, but only if the landlord has a valid civil judgment against you.
No, it is levied against your estate.
