[RPPTL LandTen] Two questions about association rent collection

[Shane Weaver]

Hello,

I a couple questions about the new association rent-collection provisions.

First, if a homeowner has an unapproved tenant, is it an inconsistent legal position to demand the tenant pays rent to the association? Does an association have to officially recognize the tenancy before the rent demand can be made?

Second, is there any dispute that "future monetary obligations" limits rent collection to assessments going forward and not to the past-due balance?

The "future monetary obligations" is a disaster-associations can't recover balances, and the homeowner still gets to keep whatever rent is left after the monthly assessment is paid.

Thank you for your advice,
