[RPPTL LandTen] Inquiry for Landlord-Tenant Committee

[Arlene Udick]

Dear Seth,

 

You need to go back to the documents to determine more facts.  If the commercial development is a property owner’s association that has recorded a Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions, similar to a Homeowners’ Association,  the declaration will tell you what rights the other owners have to enforce the Declaration.  If the property is a condominium association, my thought is that the other owners have no privity of contract to do anything, i.e. change locks on a dubious tenant.  Check the condo documents and see if it gives the other owners any rights.  Good luck.  Arlene

Sorry, this isn't my forte but have run into the following problem in a commercial foreclosure I am prosecuting so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

It is a commercial condominium complex and one of the owners has been delinquent in his dues and has basically skipped town.  In the meantime, the owner has evidently given his keys to a friend who has taken it upon himself to take up residence in the commercial unit.  It is unknown at this time whether he is "squatting" or whether his occupation is pursuant to some claim or contract.  Of course, the other businesses and association want to prohibit this "tenant" or squatter access, and are threatening to change the locks to the unit.  Any thoughts on the appropriate process to take?
