Can a Florida condo association evict a tenant if he has broken condo guidelines?

The governing documents for the association spell out eviction processes.
They also detail the steps that the board can take when an owner falls delinquent in paying their assessments. One option could be to step into the revenue stream enjoyed by the owner from the tenant, as a way to collect past due assessments.
The additional document you need is your lease or rental agreement, which may also spell out your rights.
Finally, you can check Florida state law regarding tenants' rights, to verify what yours might be in this case.

∙ 13y agoThey usually don't foreclose for a condo fee, but they will place a lien on the home, meaning it cannot be sold until the lien is resolved.
You can read all about the association's responsibilities to collect condominium assessments and the process that can be followed in order to collect this debt in your governing documents.
Foreclosing on your unit is usually an option, and the last one that an association would probably pursue. But associations usually have the obligation to pursue collecting the debt, and if foreclosure is the last option, the association may chose to use it.
(When you don't pay your monthly assessments, you're essentially asking your neighbors to pay your bills.)

∙ 12y agoRead your governing documents to determine the association's guidelines for tenant behaviour.
It's possible that when a mis-behaving tenant cannot be controlled by the owner/ landlord, and the association has notified the owner/ landlord of violations, given the owner an opportunity to defend the tenant's behaviour, and the mis-behaviour continues, the association may be required to resort to evicting the tenant.

Can a Florida condo association require an application for renters?
Read your governing documents to determine what the association is required to review prior to your renting your unit. It is possible that the association has a rental cap, in which case, your rental may or may not be allowed, depending on the current percentage of rentals in the community. The association is not in the business of approving your tenant, but can require proof from you that you have performed a background check and a financial check on a prospective tenant. The association may require proof that you asked a prospective tenant for an application, but the association is not legally allowed to require it. The association may require that you supply a copy of any rental agreement you sign with a tenant.

Can a condominium association evict a tenant of an owner in Florida?
Generally, tenants are required to live in condominiums in the same way that owners are required to live there. Several steps must be in place, however, according to best practices, in order for an association to evict a tenant. First, there must be evidence that the tenant has been given all the pertinent documents that outline how an owner lives in the property. Then, that the owner sent a copy of the lease with the tenant to the board, and prior to occupancy, cleared the prospective tenant's financial and background reports to the owner's satisfaction. The association must have been involved in addressing any 'rules' violation against the tenant through the owner, that have not been satisfied by the tenant or the owner. Finally, the association's records must show that the board has the power to evict a tenant, given an owner's inability to do so.

When do condos have to supply heat in Chicago?
Condominiums are individually owned. If the building supplies the heat, and the association owns the building, then the association may be required to supply heat according to the City of Chicago's seasonal guidelines. If, however, the heat for the unit is an individual service, then it's your responsibility to heat the unit, either for yourself or for your tenant.
Can a homeowners association force a homeowner to evict a tenant?
Perhaps. If the tenant does not abide by the governing documents -- living in the community like an owner -- then the association may require that the owner evict a tenant. The governing documents may state what behaviour is expected from tenants. This action may be the last in a long list of attempts made by the association to bring the tenant's behaviour into compliance with the governing documents. An owner who resists removing a disruptive tenant adversely affects the value of all the property involved in the association's real estate asset base. A board that uses this tactic to remove a tenant based on prejudice or other illegal basis could be in violation of local and federal laws.
