Should a condo association or HOA accept payment plans for unpaid assessments?
It depends. When the economy was better, the association had little motivation to accept payment plans because the lien truly gave the association some leverage. Now, however, the association’s lien is often behind a first mortgage lien that exceeds the property value and a payment plan should be considered in select cases with the assistance of legal counsel.
