Best Answer

Yes, a condominium can put a lien on your condo. The condominium depends on your payments to keep up the common areas. As a result, it has the right to collect its fees plus interest when you sell it if you do not pay your assessments and a lien is filed. As well, the association may be able to sell your unit in order to collect these unpaid assessments.

Read your governing documents to remind yourself of your agreement to pay assessments and of your association's responsibility to pursue you until the assessments are paid.

When you do not pay your assessments, you're essentially asking your neighbors to pay your bills.

What happens to the loan when the condominium forecloses for assessments?

You'll need to be more clear about what's going on here. The "condominium" is a building. It can't "foreclose". The condo association can't "foreclose" on you either, since they don't hold title Only the title holder (i.e. your lending institution) can foreclose on the property.What the condo association can do is obtain a lien against the property. This is money you owe them, and if you try to sell the property, they're allowed to collect the amount of the lien out of the proceeds before you see a dime. If the lender forecloses on you, the lien from the condo association doesn't go away; you still owe it, but in this case the condo association will probably take you to court to recover it, most likely by garnishing your wages unless you have sufficient assets to pay it off.
