What happens to a condo if the developer files for bankruptcy?

In a Condo...there is no separate building to file for BK. The individual Condo owners pwn fee simple title, (that is complete title) to their unit.That could happen in a Co-op...where the building is owned essentially by a Corporation and the Co-op owners own shares in it.Another Legal PerspectiveAlthough you haven't provided much detail, if there is a bankruptcy then there must be outstanding debt.Condominium ownership is a complex issue, especially in cases of bankruptcy or foreclosure affecting the developer when the construction has not been completed, there are unsold units and there are outstanding blanket mortgages and other debts that affect the condominium parcel and the common areas. Condominium projects have been victims of the depressed real estate market and many developers were funded for projects that were not well planned or stable from their inception.A unit that has been sold is the property of the buyer. However, if the condominium project remains unfinished with outstanding debts, it is also likely that a viable condominium association was not established and the business of the condominium is not being monitored (condo fees, utility bills, insurance, maintenance, etc.). That type of situation leaves the unit owner in a position of owning a property with a decreasing value and without the customary benefits of condo ownership.Many condominium projects "go under" and unit owners are left with an unsellable unit in an unfinished condominium. Sometimes another developer will purchase the developer's interest and complete the project.

What is difference between co ops and condominimus?

When you buy a co-op, you buy shares in a corporation and are assigned a space. Some lenders are leery of this style of real estate ownership, and will not grant a mortgage for such an option. A condominium buyer purchases an individual unit, plus ownership in all the real estate assets owned in common with all other owners. These may include the buildings, parking lots, landscape assets, golf course, pool, club house and whatever other amenities owned by the condominium association. Because clear title can be held to a condominium unit, lenders are more likely to grant a mortgage to purchase one.
