<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:t;color:#1F497D">I do not see any problems with waiving the lien in this situation. We have done it before, in fact not even requiring the new owner to occupy the unit, just requiring the owner to remove the tenant
and sell. In our case, the lien was only $5,000, but this was twenty years ago.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Listmates. I would appreciate the collective thought on a housing question. I may be over thinking this but I am concerned about fair housing issues or whatever else could be brought to bear. The condo association has had significant
issues with one Unit and its tenant. As a result the association has a 12,000 lien against the Unit. Unit is for sale and the Association is willing to waive the lien and forgive the debt if the Unit is sold for owner occupancy only. This will not be a
permanent restriction, just at the time of sale. Any issues that you can see with the association offering to waive a lien in exchange for a warranty that the unit being owner occupied? Thanks in advance for your input.
