The tenant likely has the right to stay in the property at the rate on the lease until the lease expires, but all rents should now come to you instead of the HOA.More than likely, the HOA lien remains in place and you are now liable for it.The receivership company that the HOA has engaged with (the HOA can't manage the property directly, usually) is likely very expensive, so you'll have to work to get them out of the picture.I'm the president of an HOA that has a unit like what you're describing.

Looking for networking opportunities in the San Diego area. Whether it be meetups, coffee, events you name it my partner and I are interested in sitting down.

He was so angry at me for that that he threatened to call and tell the seller this company was engaged in illegal acts, which was completely untrue.
